* ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'' gives us Haruhara Haruko's flying surfboard chainsaw machine-shotgun Rickenbacker bass guitar that can open interdimensional portals in other people's heads by smashing it into said people's heads.

** '''Sky Type''': [[ArcherArchetype Sky Arrow]], an agility-oriented weapon meant for aerial and long-range combat, it is a bow-like weapon that fires arrows of energy to fight opponents with and can charge shots for maximum power output.

** Ironhide's ''War For Cybertron: Siege'' toy comes with a "W-35 LR Doomblast Forge Launcher", a multi-rocket missile launcher that transforms into a [[DropTheHammer war hammer]].

* Hawkgirl's Energy Mace from ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''. It's made of energy-dispersing Nth Metal and can be electrically charged with a thought. So it functions as a light source, [[AntiMagic protection against magic]], and a MagicalDefibrillator. [[DropTheHammer When she isn't using it to smash things.]]

* ''Film/SpyKids2'' had a spy watch said to be able to do basically anything except tell time--there was no more room for the clock. It turns out to be literal, as an "upgraded" version could only tell time after being upscaled into what can only be described as a gauntlet.

* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' has [[spoiler: Negi's artifact. It allows him to copy the artifacts of any of his partners. Considering this includes things like AntiMagic, [[WhiteMagic instant healing]], an [[InvisibilityCloak invisible]] cloak that's BiggerOnTheInside, shooting swords, and {{Telepathy}}, it looks to be pretty freaking useful.]]

** ComicBook/DoomPatrol supervillain Codpiece has, well, a [[http://www.comicvine.com/codpiece/29-49255/ giant transforming codpiece weapon]].

** As ComicBook/RedRobin Tim modified his TelescopingStaff so that pressing on a discrete panel and twisting causes a blade to extend from one end. He only uses it as a last resort however as the entire reason he chose a staff as his weapon of choice was for its non-lethal applications. The staff already had an {{EMP}} emitter in it while he was still ComicBook/{{Robin|1993}} but he doesn't use that much since it disables his own tech as well.

** ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': Thor's uru hammer Mjolnir is not only a nearly indestructible melee weapon, it can also be thrown to devastating effect, it controls the weather, fires various types of energy, opens interdimensional portals and enables the wielder to fly. Some of its other abilities (which have been used and/or referenced far less frequently) include its capacity to generate anti-matter, magnetism, force fields, intense heat, a magic neutralizing field, a memory-erasing aura, and the ability to freeze time.

** Following ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'', [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] altered his armor [[AllYourPowersCombined to essentially combine every single one of his suits and their specialties into one,]] achieved by VoluntaryShapeshifting. Within the first four issues, it goes completely invisible (making it look like he's not wearing it), develops massive energy weapons and even goes full Hulkbuster. Even [[spoiler: Doctor Doom]] is impressed.
** ComicBook/MachineMan was much like this, with his stretching arms, and fingers each with a different weapon. The new version of him from ComicBook/{{Nextwave}} has become a Flanderization of this, [[RuleOfFunny having just about anything he can think of pop out of his body]]. His response to a female colleague asking if he could impregnate her from across the room? "I am full of useful devices."
** ''ComicBook/AvengersTheInitiative'' introduced the Tactigon, an alien symbiotic weapon which attached to the wielder's arm and became anything that it needed to be, whether that was an energy axe, razor wire, an energy blaster, or even a device for removing other alien symbiotic weapons.

** ComicBook/DeathsHead has several different weapons that he can swap his right hand with. His most common ones are a mace, an axe, a blaster, and several different types of missiles.

* ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' has the Lawgiver pistol, with ammunition that can configure itself to the operator's specifications including Armor Piercing, Heat Seeking, and High Explosive as a sample.
** Which leads to the scene where Dredd pulls the trigger on the BigBad, only for the gun to inform him "lethal rounds exhausted". So he yells "signal flare!" and [[KillItWithFire fires again]].

* The Servo in ''Literature/StarTrekTheEugenicsWars'' can tranquilize people, vaporize steel [[spoiler: and RightWingMilitiaFanatic superhumans]], provide transporter locations, communicate with other servos and functions as a pen.

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends'' has the Kingpin get his mitts on a stolen rifle-type weapon which can fire all sort of beams and rays. Unfortunately for him, [[spoiler: the last button he tries turns out to be the device's SelfDestructMechanism.]]

* ''Anime/PsychoPass'' gives us the weapon of choice for both the Enforcers and Inspectors alike: ''[[CoolGun The Dominator]]''. This [[MorphWeapon shapeshifting]] hand-cannon has three forms it can take, depending on the current target's threat-level, as determined by [[BigBrotherIsWatching the Sybil System]]: Non-Lethal Paralyser, which is essentially a glorified taser; Lethal Eliminator, which causes [[BodyHorror the target's body to bubble and expand grotesquely where they were hit]], and then [[LudicrousGibs explode]]; and [[{{BFG}} Destroy Decomposer]], which is used to take down heavily armored opponents- like androids- or create entry points by way of a [[WaveMotionGun massive blast of energy.]]

*** ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'': The Rebirth version of Nubia wields the Staff of Understanding. It can be used in its primary spear form and transform into a BladeOnARope [[VariableChainLength with unlimited range]]. The Staff also has magical properties similar to the Lasso, as seen in issue #5 of ''Nubia & the Amazons'' when it restores Medusa to her human form.

** ComicBook/WonderWoman's Lasso of Truth. In addition to its ability to compel the truth out of people, it protects Wonder Woman from the effects of mind control, dispel illusions, exorcise demons, allow Diana to read the minds of whoever is bound in it and remove impurities from the body. In the [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 earlier]] comics, she used it as an impromptu propeller, an emergency roller coaster track extension, an electrical conduit, another propeller, a [[ThisIsADrill drill]], and some sort of sonic dinosaur repellent. She also used it occasionally to actually snag things. Specifically, [[SerialEscalation a nuclear missile, all of Paradise Island, and a lightning bolt]].

** Similar to the Mjolnir but made of from alien ultratech is Ronan the Accuser's Universal Weapon. A mighty two-handed hammer that can generate energy blasts, force-fields, matter manipulation, be an AmplifierArtifact and flight. [[ComicBook/CarolDanvers Captain Marvel]] has inherited the weapon and found she can divide the Universal Weapon for use by other people.

He only uses it as a last resort however as the entire reason he chose a staff as his weapon of choice was for its non-lethal applications.
