** In the original "Universal Century" continuity, drones were originally impractical due to [[MinovskyPhysics battlefields being filled with Minovsky particles which block their control signals]]. However, once it was discovered that Newtypes (mutants who developed Jedi-like abilities from living in space) had a form of {{Telepathy}} which was not subject to this interference, specialised Newtype-use [[HumongousMecha mobile suits]] equipped with Bits (drones with an on-board reactor) or Funnels (drones with a short-lived rechargable battery) would prove to be utterly devastating weapons, and lead to a ramp up in deployment of artificial "Cyber-Newtypes" as {{Super Soldier}}s. The Qubeley series of ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ'' carry funnels; the Elmeth of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' had bits; and the Sazabi and Nu Gundam of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack'' had Fin Funnels[[note]]which are [[NonIndicativeName actually]] oversized bits[[/note]] and bits, respectively. There also exist the more primitive "incoms", which are connected to their parent machine by cable and can be operated by a {{Muggle}} pilot.

** ''VideoGame/AceCombat7SkiesUnknown'' has the Arsenal Bird, a massive autonomous aerial battleship that carries not only drones, but also [[BeamSpam tactical lasers]] and launchers that can deploy both standard anti-aircraft missiles and Helios airburst warheads. On top of all of this, it has automated repair systems and receives its power from the "[[SpaceElevator Lighthouse]]" that it guards via microwave energy, meaning that it, and its drones, can stay aloft indefinitely with only the occasional supply shuttle to top off its ammunition and repair supplies.

* A non-combat version: In ''VideoGame/SurvivingMars'' robotic drones are your main worker units. They can be deployed from a stationary drone hub which manages its drones in a certain radius, or, more appropriate for this trope, from an RC Commander which is a mobile drone hub that can go anywhere on the map.
