Line 2:
Similar to the [[Training Montage]], it consists of the hero gearing up for the big fight, preparing a multitude of weapons in anticipation of the need for [[More Dakka]], usually taken from a [[Wall of Weapons]]. Usually features close-up shots of guns being loaded, knives being sheathed, headbands being tied, etc. ''Never'' complete without a [[Noisy Guns|veritable symphony of metallic clicking noises.]]
Whether or not
Frequently there will be one "special" weapon, a small and somewhat unusual one normally, which will play a critical role in the upcoming battle.
Line 154:
* The Street Fighters have this in ''[[Street Fighter the Later Years]]'' complete with [[The Jimmy Hart Version|a cheap imitation]] of the song [[Kill Bill|Battle Without Honor Or Humanity]] and ending with Zangief [[Squick|wearing a too short speedo]].
* Parodied in the first part of ''[[Kickassia]]''. The Nostalgia Critic's team is loading up for battle, with characters like Eight-Bit Mickey having [[300]]-style muscles drawn onto his chest, Paw putting on a pair of headphones dramatically, the Cinema Snob taking off his glasses, spinning around, and putting them back on, and Handsome Tom simply standing there, having changed to a red "Villain" shirt off screen, and shrugging.

Line 160 ⟶ 159:
* ''[[The Venture Bros]]'' heavily parodies the scene from the ''Batman'' movie, as Monarch henchman [[Ascended Fanboy|Number 21]] puts on his minion uniform while singing "Mars, Bringer Of War".
* ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' loved this one, naming it the "suit up" sequence which made DeeDee squeal with glee whenever it happened.
* ''[[Swat Kats]]'' used a "suit up" sequence for the characters, especially in the later episodes. A long "suit-up, get in plane, have plane lower on its elevator for takeoff, engage engines, fly through tunnel to surface" sequence more like. Looked cool of course, most things on that show did, but it was [[
* When [[The Tick (animation)]] and Arthur are in the lair of the otherwise unassuming Sewer Urchin, they watch as the underground superhero undergoes one of these, strapping up with such objects as lemons, guns that shoot melted butter, large claw-crackers, and soap. All of these items prove indispensable.
* ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]]'' "Chapter 21" has a montage of the ARC Troopers arming themselves just before they swoop in to [[Big Damn Heroes|rescue the Jedi]].
Line 169 ⟶ 168:
* Just before the end of the series, [[Kim Possible]] does this, looking like she's preparing to stop Drakken once and for all. The battle suit and [[Cool Car]] is needed however for a [[Cat Up a Tree]], which turns out to be a puma.
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' had a very dramatic one before the Day of Black Sun invasion. [[Deadly Doctor|Katara]] loads up on like [[Elemental Baggage|four pouches of water,]] [[Badass Normal|Sokka]] puts on his [[Thunderbolt Iron|sword]] and [[Big Badass Wolf|cool wolf armor,]] [[Little Miss Badass|Toph]] gets Earthbender gear and a [[Cool Helmet|helmet,]] [[Badass|Appa]] gets [[Bling of War|some badass armor]] made by Sokka, [[Badass Adorable|Aang]] dramatically [[Important Haircut|shaves his head,]] and Zuko takes ''off'' his armor and unfixes his hair in preparation for his [[Heel Face Turn]].
* ''[[My Little Pony:
* Gnomeo gets one before his first raid into the Red yard in ''[[Gnomeo and Juliet]]''.
* Invoked [[Weapon for Intimidation|for intimidation purposes]], lampshaded and parodied all at once on ''[[Archer]]'';
