History VideoGame / ColossatronMassiveWorldThreat

* AttackDrone: Later levels will introduce experimental sabotage drones, which slowly fly towards Colossatron before latching onto one of its power cores, disabling it until either the core or the drone itself are destroyed.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: In one of the final BossBattle[=s=], General Moustache pilots a [[HumongousMecha giant robot]] to take on Colossatron personally.
* AWinnerIsYou: Once you've led Colossatron through all six landmasses and smashed up every city, Rick Dalton pretty much says "Well, that's it, the world has been destroyed. Tune in tomorrow!" (The initial campaign unlocks the varied nations; the game continues with "survival challenges".)

* GreenEyedRedhead: Katie Hazard.

* HeroAntagonist: General Moustache may be a GeneralRipper who's [[WeHaveReserves willing to make any sacrifice]] to destroy Colossatron, but considering that Colossatron is causing TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt single-handedly, [[GodzillaThreshold it's kinda warranted]].

* MakeMeWannaShout: Colossatron's shock roar, which temporarily stuns enemies.

* SegmentedSerpent: The player character is one, with each segment corresponding to certain weapons and/or abilities.
* SmarmyHost: Rick Dalton has the voice, the demeanour and the coiffed hair, and, according to the news ticker, has five people to do his make-up.
* SpreadShot: A namesake weapon for Colossatron's red power core, which functions like a shotgun.

* TakingYouWithMe[=/=]SelfDestructMechanism: Once all of its power cores have been destroyed, Colossatron's head explodes in a blast that destroys everything else on the screen.
** Colossatron's individual power cores will also do this once they have sustained enough damage. An optional gadget you can choose can increase the damage and radius of the explosion.

'''General Mustache:''' LAUNCH THE ''[[DoomyDoomsOfDoom DOOM JET!]]''

A planet not quite like ours is beset by a gigantic (or indeed, colossal) [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot mechanized battle-platform snake]] {{Kaiju}} [[NotOfThisEarth from outer space]] carving a path of destruction through the cities and nations of the world. The world's military forces throw everything they can muster at the "Massive World Threat", led by the bombastic General Mustache.

And so Colossatron (and you) rampage through the world, breathlessly described by the FramingDevice of Action News 6 reports from slick studio anchor Rick Dalton and field reporter Katie Hazard, with [[LargeHam emphatic]] input from General Mustache.

* LargeHam: Every line by General Mustache is delivered with strident bluster, and many of them are bellowed at the top of his voice.

--> '''General Mustache:''' Get. Those. Tanks. TO THE BATTLEFRONT!

* BadassMustache: General Mustache, naturally.

* MeaningfulName: Katie Hazard is a field reporter [[InHarmsWay out among the danger]], General Moustache has [[BadassMoustache prominent facial hair]].

* FrickinLaserBeams: The Laser Beam is a weapon available for Colossatron's yellow power core, which fires a constant beam of energy described as being "hotter than the surface of the sun".

Perhaps surprisingly, the player sides with Collosatron's rampage and more unexpectedly, doesn't direct it themselves. Collosatron roams about as it wills (though it can be directed to strike at a target) while the player gathers primary-coloured "power cores" falling from space with the monster to build Collosatron's body. [[MatchThreeGame Three cores of the same colour]] will combine into a bigger core, better armed and armoured (but a more concentrated target), while two different cores become a secondary-colour core with a second-tier weapon. (And three of those combine, too.)

* FrickinLaserBeams: The Laser Beam is a weapon available for Colossatron's
* LaserCutter: A weapon of the same name for Colossatron's green power core, which fires high damage, penetrating energy sawblades in a straight path.

* PlasmaCannon: A weapon of the same name for Colossatron's green power core, which rapidly fires high-damage plasma bolts with generally poor accuracy.

* SpreadShot: A weapon of the same name for Colossatron's red power core, which functions like a shotgun.

* TakingYouWithMe[=/=]SelfDestructMechanism: Once all of its powercores have been destroyed, Colossatron's head explodes in a blast that destroys everything else on the screen.

* UnrealisticBlackHole: The Black Hole Generator, a weapon for Colossatron's purple power core, shoots these. Upon inpact, they suck nearby enemies into the point of impact, dealing damage and stunning them.

* ZergRush: Colossatron's defeat is less likely to be caused by the huge boss machines than the sheer weight of tanks, gunships, and bombers sent against it. (Especially as crowds of aircraft obscure your view of Colossatron, so you can only plug in powercores blindly.) The Survival Challenges just keep piling on more military force until you're finally overwhelmed.

The player manages the rampage of Colossatron, a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot gigantic mechanized battle-platform snake]] {{Kaiju}} [[RecycledINSPACE from outer space]] that crash-lands on an alternate Earth for the sole purpose of demolishing everything in sight. However, it is quickly besieged by the forces of General Moustache, who is determined to destroy Colossatron [[WeHaveReserves at any cost]].

** One of Colossatorn's green power core weapons is Proximity Repair, which repairs other damaged power cores in a small area around it.

--> '''General Moustache:''' SEND IN EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT!

* Drone deployer: Two of the weapons available for Colossatron's purple power core: [[AttackDrone Attack Drones]], which will attack nearby enemies, and Repair Drones, which will heal any damaged power cores.

* ShockAndAwe: The Thunder Blaster and the Lightning Spire, two weapons for Colossatron's blue power core. The former shoots balls of lightning that damages enemies as it passes, and the latter fires a constant bolt of electricity at a single target. Both weapons have the chance of stunning their target.

* SpreadShot: The name of a weapon for Colossatron's red power core, whichis an initial-burst weapon.

* AttackDrone:Later levels will introduce experimental sabotage drones, which slowly fly towards Colossatron before latching onto one of its power cores, disabling it until either the core or the drone itself are destroyed.

* Drone deployer: Two of the weapons for Colossatron's purple power core:
** [[AttackDrone Attack Drones]], which will attack nearby enemies. Their weaponry improves with each level, starting with a single gun, then twin guns and, lastly, twin flamethrowers.
** And Repair drones, which will heal any damaged power core. Their healing rate increases with each core level.

* MeaningfulName: Katie Hazard is a field reporter [[InHarmsWay out among the danger]], General Moustache has [[BadassMoustache prominent facial hair]].

* SuicideAttack: Boom trucks: Military pickup trucks loaded with either dynamite or an [[NukeEm entire nuclear warhead]] that drive into Colossatron's power cores, detonating their payload

* {{Badass}}:
** Colossatron. The military ''can'' bring it down, mind you, but it usually requires [[ZergRush an utterly ridiculous number]] of bombers, choppers, and large tanks. Small tanks and infantry stand no chance, even when Colossatron is at its weakest. Oh, and when Colossatron ''is'' finally defeated, it goes down in a massive explosion that [[TakingYouWithMe obliterates everything on-screen]].
** General Moustache also qualifies, having no problems with piloting a mech [[FinalBoss to take Colossatron on himself]] in the Ultimatum's second-to-last stage. This mech can survive a freaking [[SmartBomb Mega Bomb]], only losing around half its health. And when Colossatron finally manages to bring the mech down (likely with quite a lot of difficulty), ''General Moustache '''survives''''' and shows up in the final level's EnemyChatter as though he wasn't nearly blown to pieces by a massive world-destroying mecha-Kaiju.

* AWinnerIsYou: Once you've led Colossatron through all six landmasses and smashed up every city, Rick Dalton pretty much says "Well, that's it, the world has been destroyed. Tune in tomorrow!" (The campaign unlocks the varied nations; the game continues with "survival challenges".)

** General Moustache also qualifies, having no problems with piloting a mech [[FinalBoss to take Colossatron on himself]] in the final location's penultimate stage. This mech can survive a freaking [[SmartBomb Mega Bomb]], only losing around half its health.

* SmarmyHost: Rick Dalton has the voice, the demeanour and the coiffed hair, and, according to the news ticker, a five people to do his make-up.

* VillainProtagonist: Colossatron, a mechanized serpentine {{Kaiju}} with enough firepower to obliterate a city and a penchant for destroying cities with absolutely zero provocation.

* AWinnerIsYou: Once you've led Collosatron through all six landmasses and smashed up every city, Rick Dalton pretty much says "Well, that's it, the world has been destroyed. Tune in tomorrow!" (The campaign unlocks the varied nations; the game continues with "survival challenges".)

* DescriptionCut: Rick Dalton ends the intro by saying "We can only hope the creature decides not to attack", which is followed by a button for starting the game, labelled "ATTACK!"

* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: The news ticker in the promotional trailers often says that Collosatron's rampage could wreck the world's cities, ruin the global economy and destroy civilisation. Rick sometimes declares that it could be the end of the world, in his oddly cheerful fashion.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Collosatron has no knowable motives or agenda, and smashes up everything because, well, what else would a giant mechanical serpent bristling with weapons do?

* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Rick Dalton shows a downplayed form of this, being just a bit too enthusiastic about Collosatron's rampages and the destruction caused, probably because they make for great viewing figures for Action News 6. (Occasionally, the news ticker reports that the station is getting its biggest audiences ever from the crisis.)

* TakingYouWithMe[=/=]SelfDestructMechanism: Once all of its powercores have been destroyed, Collostron's head explodes in a blast that destroys everything else on the screen.

* ZergRush: Collosatron's defeat is less likely to be caused by the huge boss machines than the sheer weight of tanks, gunships, and bombers sent against it. (Especially as crowds of aircraft obscure your view of Collosatron, so you can only plug in powercores blindly.) The Survival Challenges just keep piling on more military force until you're finally overwhelmed

* TheQuisling: Action News 6 is a downplayed example. While Rick Dalton is not trying to curry favour with it, heclearly admires Colossatron and is excited by it's destruction.

* TitleDrop: The name "Collosatron" is all over the place, of course, but the subtitle appears a few times too:
** In the intro, Rick Dalton reports "The military are declaring Collosatron to be a Massive World Threat."

** One of Rick's lines after a Survival Challenge is "What an incredible rampage! Collosatron truly is a massive world threat."

* ZergRush: Collosatron's defeat is less likely to be caused by the huge boss machines than the sheer weight of tanks, gunships and bombers sent against it.

* TemptingFate: Before you begin the first level, Rick talks a bit about how Colossatron has been spotted approaching Earth, and finishes by saying "All we can do is hope that it doesn't decide to attack." Guess what happens next.
* TheQuisling: Action News 6 is a downplayed example, as Rick Dalton clearly admires Colossatron and the news blurbs before each level include hints on playing the game.
