Line 7:

== Giant Craft ==
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' once had a 40 meter tall ''[[Humongous Mecha]]'', in which the fact that a mecha of it's size normally shouldn't be able to support its own weight was a major plot point. The only reason it even manages to stand up is due to it being supported by a Reinforce field. Sure enough, when it was damaged, the entire thing collapses on itself.
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
== Miscellaneous ==
* The almighty [[Peter F. Hamilton]] has, in his ''[[The Night's Dawn Trilogy]]'',
* ''[[Star Trek]]'' has lots of shields and force fields. On ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'', we even get to watch these get invented. Later ships have a "structural integrity" system, to or from which one can divert power. The abundance of [[Tim Taylor Technology]] coupled with the availability of force fields has led some to theorize that, in fact, ''all'' Federation technology is held together by tiny force fields.
** [http://www.rhjunior.com/QQSR/00015.html Mentioned] in the ''Quentyn Quinn, Space Ranger'' [[Take That]] aimed at Star Trek, among many other aspects of the Federation that get the treatment.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* In ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'''s "Scars of Mirrodin" expansion, the flavor text for Tumble Magnet suggests and inverts this trope: "Magnetic devices that keep massive golems and structures standing can also be used for the opposite purpose."
** Earlier in Mirrodin there is the Darksteel, magical metal that is plain Indestructible. Things made of Darksteel has eerie light balls orbiting them, be they weapons, golems, or metal fortresses.
* Strongly implied to be part and parcel of Handwavium-based spacecraft in ''[[Fenspace]]'', because they can accelerate to a significant fraction of lightspeed in moments (and decelerate just as quickly) without tearing themselves apart.
