* The whole of the Earth Sphere Federation forces in ''Film/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer''. In their defense, they ''were'' outnumbered 10,000-to-1. Nobody's going to do particularly well with those odds.
* The rebel group Katharon of ''{{Gundam 00}}'' looks like the AEUG to the A-Laws Titans, except that the AEUG had great mechas and pilots while the Katharon go into battle with mechas that where useless in the previous season that takes place four years ago. Their only purpose is to momentarily distract the A-Laws while Celestial Beings does all the actual fighting. You have to wonder why they even bother if all they do is die.
** Briefly subverted when A-Laws brings out anti-beam smoke. Even the mighty [[{{Gamebreaker}} 00]] is hampered by [[CripplingOverspecialization its reliance on beam weapons]] and it falls to Katharon and their obsolete solid guns to pull CB out of a tight spot. Fortunately for them A-Laws relied heavily on beam weapons too.
* In the first season of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'', anyone who ever pilots an AEU-MS are automatically members of the Redshirt Army. During the battle in Moralia, there were more than 200 Hellions and several brand-new Enacts. The survivors ran away when the Gundam Meisters had slain about 200 soldiers in minutes.

* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}:
** TheFederation forces in the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' had the [=GMs=], mass-produced mecha whose sole purpose was to die in droves against [[TheRival Char's]] [[LawOfChromaticSuperiority Gelgoog]], [[EleventhHourSuperpower Zeong]], or [[AntiVillain Dozle's]] Big Zam ([[MemeticMutation which weren't mass produced]]).

* ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'':
** The regular UN forces in ''{{Macross 7}}'' and later ''MacrossFrontier'' (who were, in both cases, mostly flying outdated HumongousMecha, and had limited, if any, combat experience; this is even a plot point in ''Frontier'' and is used to explain the existence of the PrivateMilitaryContractors).
* ''Anime/MazingerZ'': In the last GoNagai manga arc, the Japanese army created the Mazinger army -a squad of mass-production, piloted Mazingers- to try and defeat BigBad Dr. Hell once and for all. However, as Kouji was performing test flights with the [[MidSeasonUpgrade Jet Scrander]], Dr. Hell threw a ''massive'' attack involving several mobile fortresses and several dozens of [[{{Robeast}} Mechanical Beasts]]. Main character, LoveInterest and BattleCouple Sayaka Yumi and the Mazinger army flew to meet the Hell's army. The entire army but one got annihilated, and you will never guess who was the single survivor. [[spoiler:Sayaka.]]
** The Mazinger army reappeared in ''Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}'', and all of them were quickly destroyed and killed by the Mykene empire army. Only ''[[Anime/GreatMazinger Tetsuya and Jun]]'' survived, and only [[{{Badass}} Tetsuya]] put out a good, actual fight.

* In Manga/{{Bleach}} the shinigami are completely useless against ANY threat which comes to them and have to be bailed out by the main heroes. Only the Lieutenants and Captains manage to be useful and avoid this, even though they are subject to TheWorfEffect at the same time.
