Line 41:
* In ''[[Naruto]]'', one of Pain's bodies is [[Schizo-Tech|inexplicably]] some sort of [[Hollywood Cyborg]], with rocket boots, a [[Rocket Punch]], [[Macross Missile Massacre]] deployed from his other arm, and a [[Frickin' Laser Beams|laser beam]] from his head.
* [[Red Garden]]: Dead Girls (OVA), Because being hundreds of years in the future isn't interesting enough, Gonzo decided it was time to add some mecha. Looking back on the TV series beginning episodes, one could never imagine this is how it would all end.
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]''. Time: present. Location: Siberia. Scene: a jeep fleeing with two passengers, one of them a victim of illegal Soviet experimentation. As they are nearly safe, a Hind appears and blows away the jeep. The survivor is about to get shot by the Hind's chaingun when suddenly a HUGE knife flies out of the forest and impales the heli. Enter the protagonist in an [[M 9 E]] mecha using equipment that shouldn't exist for about 50 years. Seconds later we are treated to a scene of mechas jumping around like ninjas. Note again: this is the present, not the future.
** The reason for the weird ubertechnology is [[All There in the Manual|gradually revealed in the manga and the original novels.]] And yes, it's VERY plot-relevant.
* Even though [[Ghost in the Shell]] has Spider Tanks, actual mechas are very rare and rather on the small side. The lobby fight in the first season of [[Stand Alone Complex]] is already awesome, but when the mecha appears on the scene, the awesomeness instantly [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|goes critical]].
