* Some tau Battlesuits in Warhammer 40k has an option for this.
* AIn ''[[Paranoia (game)|Paranoia]]'' it's a common feature in R&D vehicles in ''[[Paranoia]]''. Some of the many ways this can [[Gone Horribly Wrong|go horribly wrong]]:
** The eject button is marked as "Bouncy Bubble Beverage Dispenser" or something along those lines.
** The presence of an ejector seat was not considered when armour plating was added. (See also, head trauma.)
Line 103:
* ''[[BattleTech]]'' has these for its [[Humongous Mecha]], usually with an automatic trigger in case of an ammo explosion that would otherwise destroy the 'Mech and the pilot with it. In some advanced designs, the entire head assembly comes free, but a plain old ejection after popping the canopy is still the default. It may be worth noting that the setting does canonically feature enemies ruthless enough to specifically gun for MechWarriors forced to do this.
* An option for a ''[[Car Wars]]'' vehicle, too. It boasted three accessory packages: a hang glider to fly away, a parachute to waft down, or (the 'Mother-in-law special') absolutely nothing, for the Wile E Coyote impersonation scene. No restrictions on vehicle (although helicopters did lose their rotors after ignition request). Fellow [[Steve Jackson Games]] product ''[[GURPS]] Vehicles'' also, naturally, had these.
