* ''Franchise/{{Bionicle}}'':
** In the film ''Mask of Light'', Jaller and Takua/Takanuva do this mutually to each other. First, Jaller [[TakingTheBullet jumps into the line]] of Turahk's fear energy, braking its effect over Takua, but dies from pure fear. Later Takua, having become the Toa Takanuva, [[FusionDance merges with]] [[BigBad Makuta]] and uses their combined strength to open the gate leading to the city of Metru Nui. They sacrifice part of their life-force to resurrect Jaller, but the gate crushes them. Then, Takanuva is also brought back. He later jokingly asks Jaller to never do this again.
*** The above could also be seen as a redemptive sacrifice on Makuta's part, since [[MentalFusion the decision to give up their lifeforce came from both him and Takanuva]]. Later canon turned this into a subversion when it turned out that he's an EnergyBeing, and when they separated, Makuta's essence continued to live on its own, not needing to be resurrected like Takanuva.
** In ''Legends of Metru Nui'', Turaga Lhikan (whose mask was later given to Jaller) likewise jumps in between Vakama and Makuta's energy hand.
** In the conclusion of the 2007 story arc, [[spoiler: Toa Matoro sacrifices himself by wearing the Mask of Life, which converts him into energy used to revive Mata Nui.]]
*** Toa Ignika, the physical form of the Mask of Life [[spoiler:does the same to kick-start Mata Nui's awakening, and while the mask remains sentient, it had to give up its body and its life as a Toa for good.]]

** Speaking of the Space Marines, the final stand of the Astral Knights chapter. To wit, a Necron World Engine (think [[Franchise/StarWars the Death Star]] piloted by OmnicidalManiac killbots) was flying straight towards Terra, and the Imperial Navy along with some Space Marine ships were dispatched to destroy it. Every attempt to destroy it failed due to powerful shielding, and the Imperial Navy took heavy losses. So what did the Astral Knights do? They flew their battlebarge ''Tempestus'' straight into it at full speed, punching through it's shields and smashing into the surface. Seven hundred and seventy two Space Marines poured out of the wreckage with the intention of destroying every cannon, power node and command module they came across, beset on all sides by tens of thousands of Necrons. The battle lasted for a hundred hours, and ended only when the [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority Chapter Master himself]] and five other warriors penetrated their way deep into the World Engine and destroyed the main power nodes with melta-bombs, bringing down the shields and allowing the Navy to blast the World Engine to kingdom come with huge volleys of cyclonic torpedoes. For their sacrifice, a monument was erected on the planet Safehold, constructed of the wreckage of the ''Tempestus'' and 772 statues, each representing the Astral Knights marines who gave their lives to protect the Imperium. ManlyTears.
