Line 170:
** A more major version from the same game is that, thanks to [[Qurac]]-influenced [[Theme Naming]] in Eqbal's products, most of them were named after Islamic terms, such as Tawhid (Oneness of God) arm-shotgun, Injil (Bible) reverse-legged part and Zakat (Charity) machinegun, amongst others. These were changed into meaningless gibberish such as Zakajj in subsequent versions. See also [[I Have Many Names]] entry below.
** Also in 4 the 03-AALIYAH mecha became ALIYA most likely due to the singer who died. The first A and the H was added back in For Answer.
* [[Expy]] -
*
** ''6'' has Rusty. He calls you "buddy" and {{spoiler|(potentially) fights you in the endgame with apocalypse at stake. His talk about resolve has vibes of "Have you found a reason to fight yet, buddy?"}} ''[[Ace Combat]]'' players, doesn't that sound like Pixy?
* [[Fan Vid]] - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWKfCpzpxg4&playnext=1&videos=gaP_tEMEVwk There] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CP7DLsiqvo&feature=related are] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5622RqeX3k4&feature=related quite] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4uLTLSR2lY&feature=related a] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn7HFnR5gXI&feature=related few.]
* [[Face Heel Turn]] - Strung in 2, {{spoiler|Thermidor/Odstarva in the Orca path hard mode and you operator Kasumi Sumika in the destruction path hard mode}} in for Answer and {{spoiler|RD}} in 5.
Line 333 ⟶ 335:
* [[Staying Alive]] - In Armored Core 5 has {{spoiler|Chief}} who you knock into the ocean but comes back a few missions later [[Not Quite Dead|which doesn't follow this trope]] until you fight him in a one on one duel and beat him there...but then he reactivates, reveals that he is an AI, [[Crazy Awesome|rips a support beam out of the wall and tries to kill you with it.]] [[But Wait! There's More!|But it doesn't stop there,]] he comes back again as the final boss using Exusia. And it's implied in the ending that [[Oh Crap|he isn't done there.]]
* [[Super Prototype]] - Usually a few of them around in each game, whether its a mech or just a weapon part. Subverted in ''For Answer'' where the player's operator comments that because they are sending out last generation Super Prototypes ORCA must be getting desperate.
* [[Surprisingly Elite Cannon Fodder]]: 621 in ''6''. You're not just a newbie, you're outright expendable. There have been 620 before you. That "4" in C4 means you're a part of the fourth generation of augmented humans, which means there have been three generations with who knows how many members. There are almost certainly more waiting to be raised up should you fall. Nevertheless, you not only survive, you thrive and become decisive in the fate of Rubicon.
* [[Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors]] - Y'see, the best way to counter the [[Macross Missile Massacre|missile spam]] is usually [[More Dakka|machine gun fire]] which is then best followed up with [[BFG|grenade lanchers]] or [[Wave Motion Gun|plasma weapons]] but this tends to not work well against [[Improbable Piloting Skills|skillful evasive maneuvers]] combined with a [[Fragile Speedster|lightweight build]]. The best answer to the [[Fragile Speedster|lightweight build]] tends to be [[Macross Missile Massacre|missiles]].
* [[Tank Goodness]] - Even if the player doesn't use a tank type AC, at least a couple opponents certainly will.
