Mecha-Mooks: Difference between revisions

* The Golden Army in ''[[Hellboy II]]''. Clockwork Mecha-Mooks that put themselves back together upon being destroyed.

* ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]] 2'':

'''Hammer:''' What, why '''"drone better"'''? Ivan, I got an order for '''suits''', not '''drones!'''<br />

'''Vanko:''' [[Funetik Aksent|Peppol mek problum. Trhust meh. Dhrone bettuh.]] }}

*** ''But'' when fighting organic opponents the fights are noticeably [[Bloodless Carnage|bloodless]].

** This is parodied in the ''[[Duck Dodgers]]'' episode "Samurai Quack", where Dodgers, in the role of Jack, is about to attack a person until he loudly announces that he is not a robot.

'''Guy:''' Not with a Y7 rating, you won't. }}

* ''[[G.I. Joe]]'', when there are B.A.T.s or S.N.A.K.E.s involved, the Sky B.A.T.s in ''[[G.I. Joe: Sigma 6]]'' as well as the Zaps and Skyrenes in ''[[G.I. Joe Extreme]]''. All five kinds of Mecha-Mooks are the only bad guys that the Joes seem to be able to hit [[A-Team Firing|on the first try.]] Not that they did them any good since B.A.T.s just keep coming and only anti-tank weapons can take them down. Or in case of the B.A.T. Mark I, a [[Attack Its Weak Point|rifle-shot to the weak spot]] (which on the action figure's [[All There in the Manual|filecard]] is noted as the back, but inexplicably in the Sunbow cartoon, was the large window in the middle of their chest). Or Sgt. Slaughter's fists, which proved to be the most effective anti-B.A.T. weapon ever seen.

** The regular Mecha-Mooks, the Martian Centurions, are something of a subversion in any case, being [[Ridiculously-Human Robots|Ridiculously Human]] [[Punch Clock Villain|Punch Clock Villains]].

** In an episode, due to [[Applied Phlebotinum]] Cadet is transformed into a gruff, testosterone-fueled, hulking [[Action Hero]] and viciously blows up two enemy fighter ships.

'''Cadet:''' Yeah, "robots". ''(laughs maniacally)'' }}

* The ''[[X-Men (animation)|X-Men]]'' animated series as often as not had the titular heroes battling the robotic Sentinels and all manner of mechanical foes, rather than organic bad guys. Indeed, only two characters (good, bad, or background) are directly shown to die at any point in the series, and both eventually come [[Back From the Dead]].
