** ''[[Dominion Tank Police]]'' probably counts. I mean, these are cops... with TANKS. [[Tank Goodness|Really BIG tanks]], at that. And unlike the Patlabor dudes, these fellows DO move against any and all crime, with superior firepower through and through. Unfortunately for the city, they're also all [[Cowboy Cop|Cowboy Cops]]... can you say 'Collateral Damage'?
