If you end up liking GUNHED, some others that might be up your alley to look up: Hardware (1990), 964 Pinnocchio (1991), Testsuo: The Iron Man (1989), and Burst City (1982).
I just saw Burst City about a month ago; the other three you mention are on my list. Basically, I put together a big list of cyberpunk + "cyberpunk adjacent" movies and I'm must slowly working my way through the entire list. Not doing it strictly in chronological order, but in a loose sense I'm mostly working my way from older to newer... just allowing myself to jump around a little here and there.
