They exist, and are called Mobile Armours. The Mobile Armours on Gundam IBO are particularly vicious - they're automated beam spammers with the ability to create maintenance bots, and are smart enough to be able to refuel their own power plant. Essentially, they're giant murderbots designed to wipe out entire civilian populations - and almost drove the human race extinct.
I think that’s the reason why AI or Drone Control is outlawed in that series, but that’s just speculation on my part.
Hacking would help, I think.
Unfortunately, I think they worked as intended.

Not sure why they'd want to kill entire cities
Because those cities contain factories or military bases, and are connected to major transport routes. They also have thousands (if not millions) of potential recruits/conscripts for the enemy army. So you're basically crippling both their infrastructure and manpower.
Also, it deals a catastrophic blow to civilian morale, because now those civilians know they can be annihilated at any time, so they're going to want the war to stop, but if the government doesn't want to stop the war then they're basically saying they don't care about their own civilians, which makes the civilians pissed.
Lastly, the military exists to defend the nation's people (in an ideal nation, at least - if not the people, then the government, but the government is nothing without the people.) By wiping out the people, you are effectively rendering the military's role obsolete, and taking away everything they are fighting for.
That's the justification for it if you don't care about basic morality. People who are pure evil could also just do it for the lolz. If you're actually a decent person, then it can never be justified unless it's somehow for the greater good, but even then most decent people would still refuse to do it.

Saddam Hussein bombed a city to ashes, and during World War 2, Dresden (I think) was nearly bombed to nothingness.
You're forgetting the most obvious examples - Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Dresden was firebombed in WWII, Azi. It caused more deaths than any single bombing in WWII, Including Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Death tolls went up to 100,000. The Firebombing of Tokyo was also had some significant death tolls.
Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Interesting fact about the Nazi's though, They also crucified jews in the concentration camps, though not the way the Romans did it.
