Panoramic scene of a couple of giant robots duking it out in the middle
of a city. Uses Panosalado and Flash.

Nice technique to see your scene "from the inside"!
How many views did you need to render for this?
Nice scene BTW. Maybe you could use even bigger robots
towering over the buildings, they appear quite "harmless"
from this perspective ;)

Six views, one for each face of a cube. I also experimented with
equiangular projection, but this produces undesirable/ugly artifacts
near the poles.
The scene is actually supposed to be inside a cylindrical space habitat.
I am experimenting with using Chris Colefax's Object Bender macro but
haven't achieved good results yet.

Can't you just adapt the object placement? Given the size I
don't think you'd actually need to bend indiviual buildings.

The smaller the space habitat the more the shapes of the individual
buildings matters. I'm loath to rewrite the CityGen scripts though...

Very cool.
If it's not too shameless a plug, here's how really giant robots look in the
Colefax City:
