Another Robot movie question

[goingcrazy]

Hi, trying to track down a movie i saw when i was young (80's) that I cant find any trace of. I'm in the UK and didn't have anything other the 4 terrestrial channels back then. It was western style animation, not anime and featured a big robot. It was mostly dark, brooding and pretty scary to young me at least.
The only scene i remember clearly is sweeping over fields to the robot that opened its eyes which were bright red against the dark background and i think it was chasing after a little boy.
Not much to go on but hopefully someone has an eidetic memory - grateful for any suggestions! I've checked youtube and wikipedia and google but recent iron man and iron giant films dominate the search results.

Robot movies seem to be extremely popular and we definitely get a lot of questions on movies or cartoon series with robot characters, particularly giant ones. I don't know what this may be offhand, but if you are pretty sure it is a movie, then perhaps this list of movies will be helpful for you:
