Line 7:
Will often lead to a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment. If done properly, this will go down in fandom history as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].
 
Visual works will usually pair this with a [[Theme Music Power-Up]] or crowd-pleasing [[Fanfare]], along with an [[A -Team Montage]] or similar [[Harbinger of Asskicking]].
 
For identification purposes, the [[Misfit Mobilization Moment]] is the point when the protagonists stop hindering each other and begin working as a cohesive unit.
Line 13:
[[Miracle Rally]] and [[Down to The Last Play]] are similar tropes for sports-based works.
 
Contrast with [[Let's Get Dangerous]], where characters who were ''already'' skilled finally get to demonstrate their expertise. Also see [[Gondor Calls for Aid]], [[Improvised Training]] and [[Teeth -Clenched Teamwork]].

Line 27:
* In ''[[Black Lagoon]]'', in both the Greenback Jane arc, and the Baille de la meurte. Let's face it, the fact that you can get a group of [[Ax Crazy]] [[Blood Knight|Blood Knights]] and [[Psycho for Hire|Psychos For Hire]] in the same room and have them trying to kill the same opponent counts for this trope. The fact that so many of them live in the same city and have not turned the entire city into a battlefield is a tribute to the presiding criminal orders.
* Occurs in ''[[Hetalia Blood Bath 2010]]'' with Iceland, Turkey, Germany, Hungary, England, Cuba, and Canada. In the end, the ''entire world'' gets motivated to work together in order to solve the mystery.
* Seen in ''[[Kaiketsu Zorori]]''. When {{spoiler|the world's about to end}}, Zorori is quickly surrounded by several of his allies and [[Enemy Mine|a few of his enemies]] to assist in his plan for {{spoiler|saving Earth}}. Among the assembled: [[The Rival|Gaon]], [[All -Ghouls School|Youkai-sensei and every monster that's appeared thus far]], [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Duke Bururu]], [[Functional Magic|Nelly, Milly, and Roger]], [[Idol Singer|the Moo Moo Girls]], [[And Zoidberg|and Tiger with his band of fake magicians]].
 
 
Line 107:
* ''[[Glee]]'' in the pilot as they sing "Don't Stop Believing."
** However as the club expands and the group becomes more detatched through their cliques, a major moment happens in the penultimate season 1 episode. Rachel is devastated and humiliated by being egged by their rivals, particularly as they're led by her ex-boyfriend. [[Jerk Jock]] Puck of all people rallies to her aid and gathers all the strong men in the group to help him. To add to the awesome, [[Camp Gay]] Kurt and the disabled Artie also try to help. Later the whole club bands together to do the one thing their rivals can't: perform a funk dancer number (it makes sense in context). It really signified them as [[True Companions]].
* Happens in ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' during the finale episode ''Stolen Earth'' when just about every companion of the last five years comes together in a united plan to contact him.
* Shows up in ''[[Chuck]]'': in "Chuck Versus the Tooth", there's a scene involving former CIA agents in an insane asylum showing that they still got the stuff. {{spoiler|Subverted as the enemy agent [[Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him|simply tranqs them all]]}}.
** "Chuck Versus the Subway/Chuck Versus the Ring, Part II" has {{spoiler|Ellie, shaken from witnessing her father's murder and Chuck's abduction, getting Awesome and Morgan to help her run a Pincer movement on the van holding Team Bartowski captive ''and succeeding''.}}
