Line 44:
* [[Straw Feminist]]: The [[Amazon Brigade|women-only]] Storm Ravens, who believe men are responsible for every problem both pre- and post-Apocalypse. To be fair on the second part, with the exception of the virus itself they're pretty much right [[Gender Rarity Value|by default]]. Averted with the similarly-women-only Iron Maidens, who become Griffin and Madison's only allies in the entire series.
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: If you count the secondary weapons as superpowers - Griffin's tanks in the first game's multiplayer modes start off with a random weapon, and the Cold Warriors in ''Global Assault'' occasionally spawn with a nuke.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Song]]: The music for the "Fremont Street" stage in the first game sounds similar to [[ACDC (Music)|AC/DC]]'s "TNT".
* [[Slap-On-The-Wrist Nuke]]: There's usually at least one Nuke item per map, but they can only one-shot the lighter tanks, and can't even flatten all the buildings on their own. That said, they're still fun to throw at each other.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: ''World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks'', made by the same company and features an upgraded version of the M1 Abrams.
Line 58:
** [[Gatling Good]]: The Rattler, a small tank with a fixed GAU-8 gatling cannon, letting it chew through even heavy armor. Also capable of turning on a dime. The Playstation-exclusive Shredder tank is an even faster, better-armored vehicle with a smaller, turret-mounted 35mm gatling gun.
** [[Guns Akimbo]]: The M2 Hydra, an Abrams variant with two lighter cannons, making up in rate of fire what it loses in punch.
** [[Hover Tank]]: The (wait for it) [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Hovertank]]. An Abrams that floats, propelled forward by turbines. Hard to control and sub-par compared to the Abrams, but able to ignore minefields, strafe sideways, and reach an impressive top speed.
** [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: The Inferno Tank, light and fast with a heavy [[Fire-Breathing Weapon|flamethrower]].
** [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: The Hornet, a tank capable of spamming rockets, or even firing them around corners.
** [[Suicide Attack]]: The M-80 Demolition Vehicle. Small, lightly-armored, and lacking in a main weapon besides its self-destruct attack. Another [[Play Station]] exclusive.
** [[Jack of All Stats]]: The right honorable M1A1 Abrams, mainstay of the U.S. military and all-around solid tank.
** [[Fragile Speedster]]: The Mototank, a tiny wheeled vehicle with dual machineguns and light armor. Capable of streaking about and running circles around larger tanks, but lacking in firepower and capable of being flattened by heavier tanks. Also the Hovertank, a [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|flying tank]] that moves extremely fast, can move in any direction without turning, and doesn't set off standard landmines. A third is the Rattler, which is basically the Mototank with [[More Dakka]].
* [[The Power of Love]]: The motivation for Griffin and his army in the first game. The later [[Game Boy]] port [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this by naming its last level "Love Conquers All".
* [[Unusable Enemy Equipment]]: "Annihilator-class" Goliaths in ''Global Assault'', which have a pair of sentry guns that can aim independent of the main cannon. You're also unable to use the M2 Hydra, Hornet, or Marksman in the campaign mode.
