It's my oppinion that attacking villagers needs more of a consiquence than wasting the durability on your diamond sword, I mean... Attacking a golem is just an easy way to get free iron!
This is why I think they deserve a ranged attack as well as a melee...
LIGHTNING ORBS!
Why lightning orbs?
Because, Think of it as an electrical discharge from their redstone power system.
They'd ONLY use this attack against players, So to keep it from making your house COMPLETELY zombie proof...
What do lightning orbs do?
They travel kinda slowly but have a VERY MINOR homing effect, Making them slightly harder to dodge.
They do 2.5 damage on ALL difficulties but ALSO stun you for 3 seconds, Making you walk as fast as someone crouching...
This leaves you VUNERABLE to getting bitchslapped by a giant pissed off robot.
That's prettymuch it, What are your thoughts? (Inb4 first post is a hard critic who tears the idea to bits an makes me cry in a hole somewhere...)

Can we please not turn Iron Golems into Super Saiyans, pretty please? Thanks.
They're defense mechanisms. They have 50 hearts of health, they deal 3.5-10.5 worth of damage with one blow. You, the player, has, about 10 hearts, give or take if you haven't eaten in a while. Quit your whining:
There's a clear difference between overpowered and "buffing" a mob, this is definitely overpowering iron golems, not buffing them.
Not everyone has 10 sets of diamond armor and swords, like you seem to.
A good buff to it would have been increasing the durability lost on an item when used on an Iron Golem, like you're scraping the item on it.

ok its an iron golem not a robot thats from hell. two lightning orbs really that sounds horrible we already have ghast fireballs why do we need another slow projectile flying at us. And 3 iron golems arent meant to be the god of all mobs they re just used to kill zombies

every time you read this and don't hit the green button a pixie dies and every time a pixie dies a fairy dies and every time a fairy dies a leprechaun dies and every time a leprechaun dies a unicorn dies and every time a unicorn dies i eat a child. So save the children hit that green button.
If the Iron Golem were to have any kind of ranged attack the only possibility I can see is the Iron Golem throwing something, maybe a block of smooth stone, to crush the offending player or zombies if they were too far away.
But like the others before me have said, lightning orbs would be seriously overpowering the Iron Golem.
Since the Golem is made of Iron, a slow moving ball of electricity (which is impossible in the first place) would likely have an arcing effect from any form of static-field that would be containing the "electricity."
Since I assume the Iron Golem would be chasing after you while the ball of electricity was still in the air, any 'free' electrons from the field would be trying to balance itself by loading them off to a conductor -- which would be most metals -- which would be the iron golem.
Effectively, this means that the golem would be constantly shocking itself, stunning itself as well while the static was arcing off to him. Since I am pretty positive the iron golem does not have resistors, capacitors OR any form of surge protection, the iron golem, would in theory, kill itself by short-circuiting the redstone power, causing the current to exceed it's threshold and either:
1) Melt the golem because of the constant source of electricity going in an infinite-circuit in it.
2) Cause the redstone to overload and break it, thus creating an open-circuit, causing the golem to stop functioning.
3) Kill the thing made out of iron if it is, infact, a living organism.
I dislike this idea.
