1 | '''Basic Trope''': Weaponized bees. |
2 | * '''Straight''': |
3 | ** Bob has a gun that shoots deadly bees. |
4 | ** Bob has swarms of bees following him everywhere and attacking his enemies at his command. |
5 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
6 | ** Bob's bee-shooting gun is ''also'' made of bees. |
7 | ** Alternatively, it's a [[{{BFG}} "Bee F.G.]]" |
8 | * '''Downplayed''': Bob tricks his enemy into standing under a wasps' nest. |
9 | * '''Justified''': |
10 | ** Bob comes from a planet where the local intelligent humanoids developed a connection with bees similar to what we humans made with dogs. |
11 | * '''Inverted''': |
12 | ** Bees with guns. |
13 | ** A weapon that kills only bees. |
14 | ** A gun that sucks bees up instead of shooting them out. |
15 | ** Bees that use humans as weapons, HumongousMecha style |
16 | ** A weapon that looks like a bee. |
17 | * '''Subverted''': The bees die while still inside the weapon. |
18 | * '''Double Subverted''': |
19 | ** But a few make it out alive. |
20 | ** They are shot with the stinger facing outside the barrel. |
21 | * '''Parodied''': |
22 | ** Bob loudly announces the horrible devastating power of his bee-gun, then points it at his enemy and presses the trigger dramatically. Dramatic silence, everyone freezes in their tracks... A few seconds pass... and then a few bees fly out lazily out of the barrel and buzz far away in random directions. |
23 | ** [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons ...Or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you?]] |
24 | ** Bob tries to grab a bee to use it as a weapon, only to get his hand stung in the process. |
25 | * '''Zig Zagged''': The bee gun is quite nasty and effective until Bob starts to need a precision weapon. He switches to a more normal weapon... until he adds an underslung "sting this thing!" pheremone projector to the gun... |
26 | * '''Averted''': Bob may use a costume and equipment with a bee motif, but doesn't actually use bees as weapons. |
27 | * '''Enforced''': "If Bob the Beemaster doesn't have his Bee Bee Gun in TheMovie, then his fans are going to pitch a fit." |
28 | * '''Lampshaded''': "So, he's using bees as weapons? Bee-autiful, if a little bee-zarre!" |

32 | ** Bob's enemies carry incredibly effective bee repellents/poisons. |
33 | ** Bob has an innate ability to control bees, but refuses as he has a phobia. |

35 | * '''Conversed''': "Man, it would bee cool if I had a bee weapon like the hero of that show." |

38 | ** Bob's bees always attack ''everyone'' in the area, including civilians, Bob's allies, and Bob. |
39 | * '''Reconstructed''': |
40 | ** Bob's years of work on killer bees left him understanding them better and educating his friends how to treat them with caution. |
41 | ** Yes, Bob's bees attack everyone, but he's an OmnicidalManiac. |
