Line 20:
* Gundam series
** The Turn-X [[Gundam]] from ''[[Turn a Gundam (Anime)|Turn a Gundam]]'' has this as its most notable ability - its limbs can break off, and divide into smaller pieces, to fly around and attack the opponent from many directions at once with beam attacks and a strange power that dries-out the energy of opponent mechas. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a__a0BkR0fg Recreated on great detail] in ''[[Super Robot Wars Z]]''
** The Great Zeong from the ''G Generation'' video games, apparently the original plan for the Zeong from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' but nowhere near feasible for its time, does the same (and in fact, its various "segments" are based on Zeon mobile armors: the legs on the [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Bigro]], the waist on [[Mobile Suit Gundam|the Big Zam]], and the chest on [[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team|the Apsaras]]). The regular Zeong can send its arms out on cables, and its head is an escape craft, but it's not quite the same.
* Afro Droid in ''[[Afro Samurai]]''.
** Actually the parts in question (Afro Droid's arms) act more like wire-guided rockets than components that can fight on their own.

** ''[[Great Mazinger]]'' and ''[[UFO Robo Grendizer]]'' also did, not only by [[Rocket Punch|shooting their punches]] but also by detaching their [[Mid-Season Upgrade|MidSeason Upgrades]] and attacking with them.
* ''[[Kotetsu Jeeg]]'' -another [[Go Nagai]] robot- is an expert in this. Given that it uses magnetism to combining its body parts, replacing them or shooting them, Jeeg can using any of them to attack (including its head). And it employs of variants or [[Rocket Punch]]!

** In Part 5, Ciocolatta can do this with some improvisation from his stand Green Day. This leads to one of the nastiest, most gruesome useages of this trope.
* [[Getter Robo]] has used "Open Get" (decombining) to escape from enemy attacks as well as to split up and deliver a barrage of guns or wipe out a horde of minor enemies. Also, they have been known to Open Get, then combine into Getter-3 in midair and ''fall'' on the enemy as an attack.
