On the crazy-zaniness scale the colossus falls at least a grendelkin above the automaton. That's essentially what it is, a grendelkin with all the immunities of a mechanical man (and the sieging capability of 4 gate cleavers at half their cost). It is also cheaper and easier to cast.

The colossus should probably have its sumomoning cost at least doubled (perhaps more, I can not honestly say that it is weaker than the much more difficult to summon ember lord.)

The current automata should probably be two or three times as expensive in gem costs as it is. The closest comparison in difficulty to summon is the attentive statue. The statue has more general survivability but the Automata has all the immunities. They're otherwise very comparable. Seen in general utility there's the siege bonus versus a patrol bonus. The siege bonus is much more useful.
