Chest Blaster: Difference between revisions

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==

* With a lenient DM, a [[Eberron|warforged artificer]] could probably make something like this for themselves by installing a [[Bag of Holding]] into their chest and putting a balista (firing explosive bolts) in there with a small construct instructed to fire the moment the 'bag' is opened.

* Torso-mounted weapons are commonplace in ''[[BattleTech]]''. Arm-mounted ones enjoy wider firing arcs for obvious reasons (though not as ''much'' wider as one might think since the torso itself can be twisted sideways to some extent), but the side torsos in particular have more free room to actually install equipment in.

 

* Demi and Wren in ''[[Phantasy Star IV]]'' can install chest-mounted weapons, one of which is capable of nuking a space station in seconds. Different than most of the examples in that the two androids in question are roughly man-sized.

* ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'' has, in the next-to-last battle against Lavos, the "Doors of Doom" attack. Most people refer to them as [[Fan Nickname|"Titty Lasers" or "Nipple Beams"]].

* The [[One-Winged Angel|final form]] of the final boss of ''[[Aquaria (video game)|Aquaria]]'' shoots a massive laser out of his chest cavity once you {{spoiler|pull his eye out.}} The capper is that the laser takes away a huge amount of health, but you pretty much ''have'' to get shot with it (unless you're really good at dodging) to hit the boss's weak point.

* Some ''[[Mechwarrior]]'' chassis (in the PC versions, at least), allow players to mount weapons in the various Torso sections. There's actually a good reason to do so, too, since these get the heaviest armor.

** Other notable Transformers examples include the [[Transformers Film Series|2007 movie line]]'s Wreckage, Generation 1's Fortress Maximus and all designs derived from him, and both the [[Transformers Generation 1|original]] and [[Transformers Animated]] versions of Warpath, who both have an entire tank turret for a torso. A more obscure but extremely literal example would be the little-known Action Master Treadshot...whose design was based on a transforming robot toy who had the barrel and cylinder of a revolver sticking out of his chest.

* The Afro Droid in ''[[Afro Samurai]]'' had a rather, uh... ''[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|suggestively]]''-shaped energy cannon in its chest. When he fires it, Ninja Ninja replies with "I think he blew his load"

* Post-mutation Waspinator from ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' fires his sting-beams from the, uh, vestigial arms hanging off of his robot mode chest.

* [[Transformers Film Series|Transformers (2007)]]: Blackout has a gun that he flips out of his chest rather emphatically on two separate occasions, though he never gets to actually ''fire'' it.
