The titles I mentioned may not fit the definition perfectly but I'd classify as having steampunk traits. I agree with you too. They seem to fit in many fantasy scenarios. I'm alway captivated by their size.

They can fit in with fantasy scenarios but also futuristic scenarios, depending on their design. Steampunk anime? I’ve never heard of that phrase before. What does it mean?
