The new Armored Core video game from Ubisoft has some of the best mech animation I've seen in a while. A great example of how video game companies are quickly catching up to feature films in their quality.

The OG Rockin' Robo Video - Herbie Hancock
Back when MTV was known for playing actual music videos, this Herbie Hancock video was getting heavy rotation for it's originality and funky beat.
"Rockit" was released as a single in 1983 and is one of the first songs ever to feature scratching and other turntablist techniques. The single was a major radio hit in the United Kingdom but more of an underground hit in the United States.
The video was directed by duo Godley & Creme and features robot-like sculptures (by Jim Whiting) moving in time to the music. The video garnered five MTV Video Music Awards in 1984, including Best Concept Video and Best Special Effects.
Always a classic!
