History Awesome / GeneratorRex

** Another stunning moment comes from Six after Rex breaks a vital piece of machinery Biowulf angrily comes at him and immediately Six is there with his swords at Biowulf's neck and tells him to not even breathe or else. This troper did not see Biowulf take a breath.

* The end of "The Forgotten" where Rex outsmarts White Knight by making him look like an even bigger ass and gives full credit to the Providence soldiers WK had verbally trashed moments before. Our hero!

* "Crash and Burn". Ladies and gentlemen, we now have Double Builds.

* Holiday knocking [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Scarecrow]] out with a pipe at the end of "Mind Games".

* And, of course, the series ended on a high-note with "Rock My World", the entirety of which Rex spent beating the hell out of legions of evo-clones in the form of the most obnoxious kind of ugly jerk, accompanied by an AnimationBump and great music.

* The end of "The Forgotten" [[spoiler:where Rex outsmarts White Knight by making him look like an even bigger ass and gives full credit to the Providence soldiers WK had verbally trashed moments before.]] Our hero! [[spoiler:Perhaps that week of TrainingFromHell did Rex more good than it seemed at the time.]]

** Another stunning moment comes from Six after Rex breaks a vital piece of machinery Biowulf angrily comes at him and immediately Six is there with his swords at Biowulf's neck and tells him to not even breath or else. This troper did not see Biowulf take a breath.

* "Plague". [[spoiler: White Knight. MiniMecha. That is all.]]
** Not to mention that Rex [[spoiler: destroyed his own contingency plan. The thing White Knight had specifically designed to take down Rex should it prove necessary was destroyed by him, while Rex was suffering from exhaustion and the MiniMecha was at full capacity with its intended pilot. Serious badass points for Rex.]]

* In "Rampage", Van Kleiss turns Noah into an EVO and Rex has to chase him across the city til he catches and cures him. It turns out that this was all a distraction so Breach could steal a power core that providence has.

** The same episode has one for Circe. Having finally seen Van Kleiss for the monster he is uses her powers to stop the [=EVOs=] from escaping the Bug Jar when the shield is temporarily deactivated.

* The first thing Rex does in the very first episode is an MOA. He freefalls from a Providence ship at breakneck speeds, and punches a giant EVO so hard he ends up knocking him out in one shot. Bad. Ass.

--->'''Abuela:''' You obviously haven't met my family. (''signals Rex to release her family... [[spoiler: OF EVO WEREWOLVES that fill up the courtyard, Hunter Cain's eyes go wide as he realizes how screwed he is.'']])
** Abuela ''will'' beat the crap out of you if you threaten her family, [[spoiler: even if they are EVO werewolves that can take care of themselves]].

* "Family Holiday": Six comes very close to [[spoiler: performing a HeroicSacrifice]] to help Holiday's sister.

* "Crash and Burn". Ladies and gentlemen, we now have [[spoiler:Double Builds]].
* How does the crossover special ''Generator Rex/[[WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien Ben 10]]: Heroes United'' start? [[spoiler:With Rex and Ben facing off in one of the most exciting battles in WesternAnimation history.]]
** And that's just how it ''starts!'' Among other highlights is [[spoiler:Ben going Upgrade and merging with ''Rex''. Sure, it's not what wins it, but dang was it awesome to watch!]]

* In "End Game", Rex kicks [[spoiler:the powered-up Consortium's collective asses so badly that they're forced to merge into a HumongousMecha to defeat him.]]

** Also one for Providence's [[spoiler:TheCavalry]] moment toward the end, where it's also revealed that [[spoiler:the majority of Providence turned back to White Knight's side]].
** Rex [[spoiler: turning into giant mech made up of his Omega-1 nanite builds and wrestling the Consortium.]]
** Also, when Rex encounters Cesar again, [[spoiler:he says nothing to him. All he does is walk up to his brother, punch him in the face hard enough that Cesar falls to the ground, and keep walking.]] Stone cold. Stone cold and ''awesome''.
** Van Kleiss gets one for [[spoiler:tricking everyone into thinking he really did go insane until he finally made his move to take the meta-nanites for himself. It didn't pan out but he still played everyone like a fiddle.]]
** Last one goes to Rex again for [[spoiler:using the meta-nanites to kick off a revolution by curing nearly every EVO in the world.]] The music that accompanies the scene also counts as SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic.

** During their fight, when White Knight says to Rex that he's the only normal person on the planet, not a "freak", due to his lack of nanites, Rex drops this rebuttal on him:
---> '''Rex''': Everyone has nanites. Everyone but you. That makes ''me'' "normal". '''You're''' the freak!

** During their fight, when White Knight says to Rex that he's the only normal person on the planet not a "freak", due to his lack of nanites, Rex drops this rebuttal on him:

* In "Alliance", Rex takes advantage of NoFace's adherence to RevengeBeforeReason to drive a wedge between the ruler of the Bug Jar and Van Kleiss, destroying their alliance before it can truly begin. Even Van Kleiss is impressed.
** The same episode has one for Circe. Having finally seen Van Kleiss for the monster he is uses her powers to stop the EVOs from escaping the Bug Jar when the shield is temporarily deactivated.

* "Enemies Mine" looks to be something of a swan-song for Rex. [[BadassNormal Hunter Cain]], [[EmpoweredBadassNormal Gat]][[BunnyEarsLawyer locke]], [[UnstoppableRage No-]][[BigCreepyCrawlies Face]], [[AndZoidberg and]] [[CloudcuckooLander the Biker]] all team up for no other reason than to take revenge on Rex. Individually, each of them gave Rex serious trouble on their own. Even worse, they're actually being ''efficient and methodical'' about finding and killing him. In the end, [[BatmanGambit Rex plays them all for fools and gets them locked up again]]. But before he did ''that'', [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome he fought all four of them at the same time and won.]] He wasn't particularly tired out afterwards.

Serious BadAss points for Rex.]]

*** Even more awesome when you remember that whatever Rex has faced, Six has as well. Once again, we are reminded that being only the sixth deadliest man on the planet does not in any way stop him from being ''the'' most {{Badass}}.

* "Night Falls": Cesar knocking down freaking Hunter Cain and telling him [[BigBrotherInstinct "Mess with my brother, you mess with me!"]]
** Hunter Kain thinks he can push around old ladies.
--->'''Kani:''' Grandma, step aside.

--->'''Kain:''' Have it your way, I'll take all of you down!
--->'''Abuela:''' You obviously haven't met my family. (''signals Rex to release her family... [[spoiler: OF EVO WEREWOLVES that fill up the courtyard, Hunter Kain's eyes go wide as he realizes how screwed he is'']]

--->'''Rex:''' (''to Abuela as she beats down Kain's men with a SimpleStaff'') I can't believe we're not related!

* Holiday knocking [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Scarecrow]] out with a pipe at the end of ''Mind Games''.

** When Rex is being Shelled by the [[EliteMooks Black Pawns]]. Circe and Biowulf pull a BigDamnHeroes. Circe blows a few away while Biowulf swipes at their leader. HE gets knocked back, and looks fine, until Biowulf tosses up the Alpha nanite that they were looking for, having picked the Pawn's jacket with his long claws.
