History PlayingWith / HumongousMecha

'''Basic Trope''': A gigantic humanoid robot.

** Gigawatton is hyped up to the savior, but it [[SquareCubeLaw falls apart]] [[RealityEnsues when it takes it first step]].

* '''Parodied''': Gigawatton becomes so big that it cause universe to burst.

* '''Discussed''': Oh, they look cool, but won't they tip over? And they're impossible to hide, unless you can get some honest-to-[[OhMyGods Gods]], working Adaptive Camo. Really, the only thing they got going for them is that they can negotiate terrain better that wheeled or tracked vehicles. I say just stick some [[SpiderTank bug legs on a run-of-the-mill tank]].

** the pilot of Gigawattron makes a point of [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom punching his foes out of the city]] to ensure they're in a collateral free-zone before the fight.

** the pilot of Gigawattron [[{{Badass}} makes a point of ]] [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom punching his foes out of the city]] to ensure they're in a collateral free-zone before the fight.

* '''Downplayed''': ???

%% Do not add Beyond The Impossible back in here. This is not real life. This is a Playing With page; it has no internal logic. In a hypothetical series it could be commonplace to find mecha that can throw galaxies like shuriken.

** Gigawatton was built to fight against aliens that are 10-stories tall themselves.

* '''Inverted''': Gigawatton is a humanoid microbot as small as a pinhead.

** Gigawatton was designed to be a humongous mecha, but when it makes its first appearance, Gigawatton is revealed to be a {{MiniMecha}}

* '''Deconstructed''':
** SquareCubeLaw
** Alternatively: The mecha is very powerful and effective, but it causes tremendous collateral damage due to its large size and huge weapons.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** The cube-square victim is upgraded with {{unobtainium}} and becomes effective.
** The DestructiveSavior robot is given new control software that makes it much safer.
** the pilot of Gigawattron [[{{Badass}} makes a point of ]] [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom punching his foes out of the city]] to ensure they're in a collateral free-zone before the fight.

* '''Enforced''': [[RuleOfCool Viewers like]] HumongousMecha.

* '''Invoked''': The engineer is a huge fan of mecha anime and builds a humongous mecha to live out his dream of piloting one, regardless of how impractical it might be.

** "But they look so damn cool!" "You really are a dreamer if you think these metal giants are actually going somewhere! Spider tanks are the way of the future!" "But they [[PunctuatedForEmphasis look. So. Damn. COOL!]]" "The men can thank [[CreatorWorship the Writer]] that I am the one who spends the budget, not you. And they should pray to the Artist that it stays that way; Less of them will die."
** "Oh, Mr. Realistic wants to make a [[SpiderTank Spider Tank!]] Sure, let's toss one of these tanks and a mecha in a room. [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill We'll see who will be reduced to dust.]]

** '''UpToEleven''': Gigawatton is visible from orbit.
** '''BeyondTheImpossible''': Gigawatton can ''[[GurrenLagann throw galaxies like shuriken]]''.
