The SuperRobots in the final act look like the aliens from Incontri ravvicinati del terzo tipo (1977); apparently, Steven Spielberg was using scenes dropped from that movie at the time due to special effects constraints and never filmed, until they appeared in this movie. The resemblance was so great, that early reviews criticized the movie for the sudden and unwarranted appearance of aliens at the end (a belief that still persists with some). The studio went as far as issuing statements at several foreign press screenings that the entities at the end are very advanced robots, not aliens.
