** The fan-made Virtual Mekton setting writ-large is this with the release of ''Anime/GundamBuildFighters'' and ''Anime/GundamBuildFightersTry''. The game setting ended up predicting quite a few of the underlying elements in the two animes.

Renamed one trope.

* GameBreaker - Quite a few (for both [[{{Munchkin}} players]] and [[KillerGameMaster Referees]]), though some are less obvious than others. Luck, an otherwise useless attribute (despite the official suggestion of how to determine psi abilities), is the source of one of these, as it's possible to get a result of 40~45 on any given skill roll with the proper setup, almost guaranteeing a critical (and possibly even an instant kill) in combat.

** A handful of the game breakers can be negated by a watchful referee, especially if they require the players to run all designs by them. The easiest of these to spot are the scaling exploits, in which a munchkin tries to design a game-breaking mekton abusing the scaling rules.
** Burst (especially Burst Infinite) can easily become this, if used right. It is quite possible, in Mekton Zeta, to create an [[RuleOfCool energy chainsaw]] that can quite literally saw a battleship in half, every other turn (using the 'cooldown' turns to close in on a new target) for about a hundred points.
*** A hundred points being the entire points allocation for a production line "grunt" military mecha. Not to say that the weapon isn't exploitative as hell, just that 100CP is a *lot*.
** To get an idea of just how damn many exist, take a gander at [[http://www.mektonzeta.com/abuse.txt The Mekton Technical System Abuse Catalog]].
