Aaaaaagh this card makes me hate Standard! I can live with Snapcasters and Birthing Pods and Heartless Summonings and Liliana of the Veils, but the moment this thing drops, I can't get rid of it without having the same basic problem, I can't play around a 6/6, and it's all for 6 COLORLESS! It's too fast of a card to allow even my Delver deck to handle more than 3 turns, and I just dislike it in general.

Cards like Wurmcoil Engine are the reason I dislike all constructed formats (except multiplayer casual) and mostly dropped out of MtG. When WotC makes mythic/rare cards that are strictly superior (not merely "better" as an opinion, but STRICTLY superior in absolute numerical terms) to un/common ones, they are loudly proclaiming that MtG is all about the benjamins.
A 6/6 for 6 is already strictly superior to numerous other cards (for example Alpha Tyrannax and Razorfield Thresher, which WotC obscenely put in the same freaking set), two strong abilities make it excessive, and the tokens send it way over the top. Wurmcoil Engine would be playable in many formats even as a 4WB, 4GB or other multicolor. Being colorless is simply rude.
Strictly superior rares also make limited more luck-based than I prefer. Two players of equal skill with otherwise equal packs, having a Mythic that fits your playable colors gives you a large advantage. Wurmcoil fits every color.
I'm not saying that it's ... (see all)

Remember the time when 6 colorless mana bought you an Obsi*** Golem? I am rather sick of this guy. Play any aggro deck and beat down on your opponent turn after turn...it all gets undone when this party-pooper hits the table. It's like playing against a deck including four copies of Balance.

Many people uselessly comment on cards, dismissing them by a redundant "dies to removal". This one GETS MORE ANNOYING with removal. 5/5. And no it's not power creeped, it's just excellent.
Edit/Post ***um:
I'm a little bit tired of seeing the same like 15 cards in all competitive, constructed standard decks. I think WoTC should adress the issue. I know that one must invest money in every hobby and it's ok. But competitive standard MTG is turning into more of a money game than a wits game...

Turn to Frog and there is only a Frogcoil Engine going to the graveyard C-: Anyway, 5/5

Continuing the growing tradition of making the really good cards both unique in abilities (so you can't substitute in a common or rare) and Mythic rares.

Because we needed an artifact Titan? Intense Power Creep. Only Green is supposed to get power/toughness equal to its mana cost. Why can this thing? Because its Mythic Rare? I hope not.
Still, the art and flavor are cool, but I don't know why its on Mirrodin.
@TheSwarm You are right about the mental challenge of things but it has gone down in recent years. Yes the person facing it is presented with the challenge, but is the caster? No? All they need to know how to do is buy it, put it in their deck, and attack. This cards should have a drawback and so should each Titan. Then the user would have to think about it more.
Powercreep wouldn't be as big of an issue if it happened universally (it is happening at common and uncommon, but not quite this extreme) but as it is it seems like it should at the very least be a 4/4 for 
that makes 2/2 tokens. That would be slightly above the curve and reasonable without sacrificing any of the flavor because this is a cool concept.
