Line 29:
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: Typhon and his ST, Giga-Desp.
* [[Giant Spider]]: ST Arachnus in the second game.
* [[Green -Skinned Space Babe]]: {{spoiler|The player's coach in the second game, Rola, is revealed to be an alien who wants to protect the Earth from an incoming invasion. Her actual skin is more of a teal.}}
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: In the first game, Tasha, Eddie and Antonov, pilots of the STs Artemis, Valius and Ivan, help you out in the final battle against Anubis and his ST Thanatos.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Eddie and the ST Valius. To start things off, he's the 3rd-to-last enemy in the game, which qualifies his skill. His power comes from the sheer variety of attacks he has, from firing volleys of missles to blasting away with his twin shoulder mounted laser cannons. See [[Beyond the Impossible]] for an example of his speed, but also know that he is also able to create illusory doubles and even causes the [[Interface Screw|screen to bob back and forth from trying to catch up with him.]] He can also easily take hits, as you'll still need to fire several energy bolts at him ''even if you blow off the entire lower half of his mech.''
* [[Mama Bear]]: Pamela in ''Metal Combat'', in regards to her husband Zephyr. When you defeat him, she gets ''very'' angry.
* [[Market -Based Title]]: ''Battle Clash'' is known as ''Space Bazooka'' in Japan.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Antonov and the ST Ivan.
* [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much]]: {{spoiler|Rola and Carol}}
* [[New Neo City]]: New York is re-christened Neo New York in ''Metal Combat'', even though the city is still pretty much the same as it was in the previous game - completely ruined.
* [[Oddly -Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]]: Why is the sequel called ''Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge'' instead of ''Metal Combat: Battle Clash 2'' or ''Battle Clash 2: Falcon's Revenge''?
** Could have been playing off of the name [[Mortal Kombat]], which was rather popular at the time.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Whenever your ST has sustained enough damage, you get a beeping alarm and the word '''CRITICAL''' appears in the lower right corner of the screen, in red no less.
* [[One -Hit Kill]]: If you fail to find a way to defeat Giga-Desp's first form when the music changes and it powers up its ultimate attack, you will lose, regardless of how much energy your ST has left.
** To clue you in to this, once Giga-Desp starts charging its attack, the music takes a turn for the dramatic and the background [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jtSPXPbv9w looks like it's having a seizure (6:14)]. [[Oh Crap]] indeed.
** This works in your favor, as well: under the right conditions, a fully-charged shot from the ST Tornado can bring down some early enemies in one hit.
* [[One -Winged Angel]]: Thanatos in the first game, and Virvius and Giga-Desp in the second.
* [[Puzzle Boss]]: Everyone can usually be taken down with enough shots to vulnerable areas, but if you know the correct areas to shoot at (and in what order), you can take down a good portion of bosses in an ''extremely'' short amount of time.
** Some bosses actually fit the strict description of the trope, such as the ST Groken.
