Mechanics and structure for an artificial giant creature?

I originally wanted to create giant land biological life-forms but the square cube law is limiting me to sauropod body sized creatures so another element of my story is artificially enhanced biological creatures and full robotic creatures.

I am wondering what would be the best internal structure for gigantic creatures, for the question I will just ask about a fully robotic creature.

From a previous question close to the subject, the structure of suspension bridges were mentioned for bone structure, this sounds like an effective way to give the creatures a very stable and strong base structure.

I want to find out what other mechanical elements and structure arrangements could create a strong and stable gigantic creature, the size I am thinking is 50 metres to 200 or more if possible, I can design the creatures of different sizes around the limitations.

I have nanomaterials in my story but I would prefer we keep to known metals and plastics strengths for building the structure, the creatures I have in mind are quadrupedal and will reside on planets with similar gravity and atmosphere as our own.

What are the limitations for a giant robotic creature and what is most efficient mechanical and structural design?
