Colony Drop: Difference between revisions

Line 88:

* Played with like Gundam in the rare (but very fun) [[TurboGrafx-16]] shooter Spriggan Mark 2

* ''[[Xenogears]]'' gives us the fall of Solaris. People, when the counterweight/city on the other end of an orbital elevator snaps like a twig, don't be under it when it hits, tends to leave holes in continents.

* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic Adventure 2]]'' had the Space Colony ARK dropped. Dr. Eggman's grandfather, professor Gerald Robotnik, locked away and shunned by the public for his frightening expiriments, exacts revenge in spirit by programming the colony to crash into Earth. The presence of the gargantuan [[Eldritch Abomination|Biolizard]] makes matter ''far'' worse, as it tries to fuse with the colony and forcibly drag it down into the planet. After both Sonic and Shadow power up to their super forms, the duo ultimately slays Biolizard, but with the colony swiftly entering Earth's atmosphere, they have only seconds to stop an imminent doomsday. Sonic's solution to stopping this is to use [[Mass Teleportation|Chaos Control]] to send it back into orbit. {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice|Shadow, on the other hand... does the unthinkable.]]}}

* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic Adventure 2]]'': In the final act of the game, {{Spoiler| had the Space Colony ARK dropped.

* ''[[Xenosaga]]'': Albedo attempts to drop the Proto Merkabah on Second Miltia, apparently primarily [[For the Evulz|for his own entertainment]]. Not even a hint of an [[Inferred Holocaust]] here.

* In ''[[Command & Conquer]]: [[Red Alert]] 3'', the Russians get a special power that dumps increasingly larger orbital satellites at an enemy location. The highest level ''drops the Mir space station''. It's [[Slap-On-The-Wrist Nuke|surprisingly impotent for an object that size, though]].
