History Main / InstantArmor

* Saber and Gilgamesh/Archer in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''LightNovel/FateZero'' are both capable of this. Saber's is essentially made entirely of her magic energy. Gilgamesh presumably either does the same or simply pulls it through Gate of Babylon.

* The Mimetic Beasts of ''Anime/{{Godannar}}'', who are small, alien organisms who create huge bodies for themselves out of available materials -- whether that is rocks, people, or a space-shuttle...

* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': There's a [[FightingSpirit Stand]] form type called 'Armor'. However, the category applies to any Stand that manifests a form that can be worn; as such, only two -- [[AnIcePerson White Album]] and [[SandIsWater Oasis]] -- actually apply to this trope; the third, [[MakingASplash Catch The Rainbow]], manifests as a mask that only covers the user's face.

* Believe it or not this trope is invoked a few times in the ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' manga. That's right, Samus actually could hide her PoweredArmor in a very small place and summon it whenever she wanted.

* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:

* Producing this is the main function of Biometals in the ''VideoGame/MegaManZX'' series. ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' does something similar from ''X4'' onwards at the start of every stage.
* Starting with ''VideoGame/MegaManX4'', X's teleporting animation shows him wearing his normal armor by default upon warping in, then quickly dawning any enhanced armor pieces he obtained. The animation goes by quick and can be easy to miss. The trope also appears in X's appearance in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'', with his SuperMode showing him instantly dawning his Armor of Light, and his Level 3 Hyper Combo having him instantly equip the Ultimate Armor.

** Samus can put her armor on or off through a mental trigger. WordOfGod states that instead of willing it on or off, Samus must constantly concentrate just to maintain the armor. To take it off, she simply stops concentrating. Note this only started in ''Other M''. ''Metroid Prime 3'' and ''Fusion'' show that the armor stays on her when unconscious.

[[folder:Webcomics]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague,'' Queen of the Royal Flush Gang could move and shape metal with her thoughts. At one point, she uses it to create a suit of armor and a sword out of casino tokens.

* The "Golem Condiut" and "Aura Condiut" in ''VideoGame/{{inFamous}}'' are also examples of this. The first is a psychokinetic member of the Dustmen, who has pulled together a motley assembly of mainly-metallic trash, into a vaguely humanoid form. The toughest and most annoying unit in the game, hands down. The second, meanwhile, is a telekinetic member of the First Sons, who is basically projecting a gigantic [[SupernaturalIsPurple (and vaguely purple)]] spectral image of himself, stomping around and smashing stuff while his real body floats in the center.

* Three ''Series/Arrowverse'' superheroes (Series/{{the Flash|2014}}, Series/{{Supergirl}}, and Series/BlackLightning) now have nanotech suits that form around them in seconds, all from different sources. Barry's was made by Cisco and allows him to "dissolve" his cowl by tapping on the lightning bolt symbol on his ear. Kara's suit (now with pants) appears whenever she removes her glasses in a certain way and was developed by Brainy. Jefferson's suit is stored in a watch given to him by the ASA and is activated by hitting the watch with 5 Volts.

* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', both [[NiceGuy Eijiro Kirishima]] and [[ExtraOreDinary Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu]] have this as the major power of their Quirks, hardening their bodies or turning it into steel respectively at will. [[NiceGirl Mina Ashido]] develops a version of her own, which covers her in a BlobMonster of acid.

* In ''Anime/XMen'', Armor has a highly colorful version of this as her power.

* In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', Tony remarks in the sequel that he's working towards an even faster version of this (he's already got ones that can fly to him and assemble around him), after seeing [[spoiler: Clark's suit]] automatically assemble from crystal based nanotech. He technically already has, with the [[ChromeChampion Project Galahad suit]] he designed for Harry (designed for speed, agility, and endurance -- [[PersonOfMassDestruction Harry]] provides the [[FlyingFirepower firepower]]), which is already assembled and can be summoned from a pocket dimension.

* In the finale of ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'', Admiral Janeway travels back in time to give ''Voyager'' this upgrade, allowing a set of nigh-invulnerable ablative armor to be instantly created around the ship. Its frequently referred by fans as "''[[FanNickname Voyager's Batmobile Armour]]''".

** The [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragonsThirdEdition 3.5E]] supplement ''Magic Irem Compendium'' has the ''called'' armor property, allowing you to not only remove the lengthy times for putting it on, but leave it anywhere on the same plane.

** There's are certain spells that provide a form of armor to the caster, such as Mage Armor, Shadow Shield, Stoneskin, etc.

** The 3.5 supplement ''Magic Irem Compendium'' has the ''called'' armor property, allowing you to not only remove the lengthy times for putting it on, but leave it anywhere on the same plane.

%%** There's also Mage Armor, Shadow Shield, Ghostly Visage, and so on.
** The Fourth Edition supplement ''Adventurer's Vault'' provides "summoned" armor, which can be of any type, is basically put on the hard way ''once'', and then can be dismissed to and recalled from a "secure extradimensional location" at will, reappearing on the caller's person as though he or she had just put it on. It otherwise functions as plain old magical armor of its given type and bonus (minimum +2).

** There are a whole family of more general are more practical abilities, ranging from a humble kata to don your armor more swiftly to summoning and dismissing your suit of magical full-plate armor in an instant from anywhere in creation, or even just packing it away [[HammerSpace Elsewhere]].

** In ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'', Comicbook/{{Shuri|Marvel Comics}} makes T'Challa a new Panther suit that uses nano-technology to keep it stored inside a necklace and will instantaneously suit him up when needed. She lampshades the notion of heroes fumbling around trying to put on an outfit as the reasoning for the upgrade.

Can range in size from a form-fitting suit to full-fledged HumongousMecha; if the former, it may or may not be PoweredArmor as well. It can also be used as a type of OneWingedAngel or SuperMode for the character in question. Note that we're not talking {{MacGyver|ing}}ed PoweredArmor here - rather, the armor is propelled and assembled by supernatural power of some sort, or {{teleport|ation}}ed in/assembled on the spot by {{Nanomachines}}. As a rule of thumb, if it takes more than a couple of minutes to assemble, it does not belong here.

* The Mimetic Beasts of ''Anime/{{Godannar}}'', who are small, alien organisms who create huge bodies for themselves out of available materials - whether that is rocks, people, or a space-shuttle...

* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': There's a [[FightingSpirit Stand]] form type called 'Armor'. However, the category applies to any Stand that manifests a form that can be worn; as such, only two - [[AnIcePerson White Album]] and [[SandIsWater Oasis]] - actually apply to this trope; the third, [[MakingASplash Catch The Rainbow]], manifests as a mask that only covers the user's face.

** After becoming an Ariadne Knight, Yue can summon a set of full armor too.

* The Mushi of ''LightNovel/MushiUta'' are mostly {{Mon}}s, but the one belonging to the main character Kakkouisa "fusion" type. In the beginning, it just merges with his arm and HandCannon to form an ArmCannon, but with time, it grows bigger and covers more - at the end, it's basically a suit of Chitinous armor that he can call up at any time. (Unfortunately, it sort of looks - and acts - like ''TabletopGame/CthulhuTech''...)

** [[spoiler: Ryuhou, Straight Cougar, and Martin Zigmarl]] - any Alloy-type Alter user does this to some extent, and it is implied by [[spoiler: Ryuhou when he reaches his fullest level of power]] that all Alter powers must become Alloy-type to unlock their maximum potential.

* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
** ComicBook/{{Magneto}} of the Marvel Universe has been known to do this, from time to time, using his metal-control. Ranging from reconstructing his own broken armor from nearby junk, to forging himself into a gigantic steel titan! At one point, he disassembled his suit, sitting on a chair nearby, into sand-sized grains and re-formed it around himself, in seconds.
** [[Characters/XMen2000sMembers Armor]] can create magic armor around her body. (Well, DUH...) She would mockingly acknowledge the "duh" factor by wondering what if she called Wolverine, well, "Claw"... or "Stench"...
** ComicBook/{{Colossus}}, who can at anytime turn his entire body into organic steel. Likewise, ComicBook/EmmaFrost can transform into a diamond form.
** Indra of ''ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX'' possesses a physically retractable exoskeleton. The mechanic behind his power is unknown, but he is able to summon his exoskeleton almost instantaneously and with little to no restriction in his mobility.

* ComicBook/BlackPanther's suit eventually gained this ability in TheNineties. A memorable scene from the first issue of Creator/{{Christopher Priest|Comics}}'s run had T'Challa change from a business suit into his Panther gear in the time it took from him to cross from underneath one streetlight to another.
* For a time, ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} from the ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' had a cloned body with a piece of shape-shifting alien tech implanted inside. This allowed him to switch between a human appearance and his classic, armored form at will.

* Samantha of ''ComicBook/ClanDestine'' can generate "ectoplasmic" armor and swords which are impervious to anything short of Wolverine's claws, do not disappear until she actively dispels them, and also [[RuleOfCool look very cool]]. The one downside is that generating the armor inevitably [[ClothingDamage shreds her clothes]]. Each time Sam armors up, it looks a little different, with the suggestion that she's doing this on purpose- which makes sense; Sam's an artist in her day job.

* In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', Tony remarks in the sequel that he's working towards an even faster version of this (he's already got ones that can fly to him and assemble around him), after seeing [[spoiler: Clark's suit]] automatically assemble from crystal based nanotech. He technically already has, with the [[ChromeChampion Project Galahad suit]] he designed for Harry (designed for speed, agility, and endurance - [[PersonOfMassDestruction Harry]] provides the [[FlyingFirepower firepower]]), which is already assembled and can be summoned from a pocket dimension.

* ''Series/TheMysticKnightsOfTirNaNog'': The knights can summon their armour in a moment by calling out their element.

* One of the powers available to Celestial Circle sorcerers in the tabletop RPG ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'', is to create a huge suit of magical armor, called a Warstrider, and then pilot it from the chest. Seen in action [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0166.html here]], in ''Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation'', an ''Exalted'' webcomic.
** There are a whole family of more general are more practical abilities, ranging from a humble kata to don your armor more swiftly to summoning and dismissing your suit of magical full-plate armor in an instant from anywhere in creation, or even just packing it away [[HammerSpace Elsewhere]].

* ''TabletopGame/D20Future'' has the gadget "Digital Armor", where your armor is stored as a data pattern on a tiny piece of {{technobabble}} and can be summoned immediately from anywhere. You don't even need to don it. It's a PL9 gadget, though, so you are REALLY unlikely of ever seeing it. PL9 is practically CrystalSpiresAndTogas.

* The OGL supplement ''Chainmail Bikinis and Other Adventuring Gear for Beautiful People'' by EN Armory has the "quick-don armour", blessed by the Goddess of Sexual Escapades, which instantly jumps up and assembles itself on the owner upon command, in case their partner's spouse or parents come home unexpectedly...
* In the Three Galaxies setting for ''TabletopGame/{{Rifts}}'', Cosmo Knights can call on their "cosmic armor" in an instant. The appearance of the armor can vary according to individual taste, but it is always sleek, shiny, and able to withstand hits from starship-mounted weapons. Where it exists when not in use is never addressed.

* In the fighting game ''VideoGame/EvilZone'', special inspector Mikagami Sho used the command phrase 'Zerochaku' to summon his armored suit, becoming the HotBlooded hero DANZAIVER!
* In ''VideoGame/{{Fairune}}'', the main character flips from a nice dress to leather armor and a shield with a single spin when picking up her Sword of Hope. [[spoiler: Possibly [[JustifiedTrope justified]], as the armor disintegrating into doves at the end of ''Fairune 1'' and ''Fairune Origin'' implies the armor to be of magical origin.]]
* The Sentinel Class' Tech Armor from ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' can be deployed instantly and provides extra shielding. It also explodes to smack nearby enemies on their asses when it goes down.

* The "Golem Condiut" and "Aura Condiut" in ''VideoGame/{{inFamous}}'' are also examples of this. The first is a psychokinetic member of the Dustmen, who has pulled together a motley assembly of mainly-metallic trash, into a vaguely humanoid form. The toughest and most annoying unit in the game, hands down. The second, meanwhile, is a telekinetic member of the First Sons, who is basically projecting a gigantic [[SupernaturalIsPurple (and vaguely purple)]] spectral image of himself, stomping around and smashing stuff while his real body floats in the center.

* One of the "Suit" power-ups in the PlatformGame ''VideoGame/{{Vexx}}'' works like this. The Rock Suit causes lava-hot stones to surround Vexx, making him invincible and letting him break through certain barriers. However, while covered in rock, he runs kind of awkwardly and he jumps like a chump. After a while, the rocks break off and he returns to normal.
* The main boss of the second dungeon in ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil'' is a tiny, easily-damaged mini-{{Mook|s}} that uses [[BuffySpeak some kinda alien telepathy stuff]] to surround itself with metal machine parts and effectively become a giant, heroine-crushing psychic robot.
* One of the powers wielded by the shape-shifter Alex Mercer in ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' is the ability to create a heavy, insectoid-looking armor out of available biomass. Completely covering, and can be sprung out in less than a second... it [[MightyGlacier slightly reduces his speed and agility but makes him]] ''[[MightyGlacier much]]'' [[MightyGlacier tougher]]. Or, if you prefer, you can deploy it through a several-seconds long TransformationSequence.
* ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'':
** Samus can put her armor on or off through a mental trigger. WordOfGod states that instead of willing it on or off, Samus must constantly concentrate just to maintain the armor. To take it off, she simply stops concentrating. Note this only started in ''Other M''. ''Metroid Prime 3'' and ''Fusion'' show that the armor stays on her when unconscious.
** In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl'', Zero Suit Samus can use a Smash Ball to instantly assemble her PoweredArmor, damaging any nearby brawlers.
** ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'' gets into a downright {{Deconstruction}} of the "constant concentration" type of armor. Like when [[spoiler:Adam shoots her in the back so she doesn't fire at the ice-proof metroid]] and she slowly loses the suit out of physical shock and mental shock that [[spoiler:her Father Figure]] would do such a thing.

* In ''VideoGame/DiabloII'', 7 out of the 210 skills in the game are an example of this. Only the Druid, Necromancer, Assassin, and Sorceress can use any of them. All of them, except for the sorceress, who has access to 4 of the skills, can only use 1 of them. In ''VideoGame/DiabloIII'' the Wizard has three different types to choose from: ice, lightning or [[PureEnergy arcane]]. These are at least as offensive as they are defensive, either damaging or in some way weakening attackers.
* Similar to the Granite Form in ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'', ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' has the spell "Rock Armor" that covers the mage casting it in stone and make it easier to survive in close combat or against archers. There's even a potion that non-mages can use to simulate the spell, and since it has no requirements combined with a low stamina cost it's recommended that ''every'' mage take it. And it actually looks pretty cool to boot.

* In ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'' getting to the level 1 in Dragon Remnants covenant grants you an item which, upon use, conjures a dragon-shaped helmet that lets you [[BreathWeapon breathe fire]], and level 2 reward item summons a full armor suit, helmet included. This Black Dragon armor has good defence-to-weight ratio but [[ClingyCostume can only be removed by death]].
* Starting with ''VideoGame/MegaManX4'', X's teleporting animation shows him wearing his normal armor by default upon warping in, then quickly dawning any enhanced armor pieces he obtained. The animation goes by quick and can be easy to miss. The trope also appears in X's appearance in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'', with his SuperMode showing him instantly dawning his Armor of Light, and his Level 3 Hyper Combo having him instantly equip the Ultimate Armor.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'', the Rhino [[PoweredArmor warframe]] can use his Void powers to give himself additional armor, in the form of a coating of silver (or [[BlingBlingBang gold for Rhino Prime]]) metal. The Chroma warframe can cast aside his outer pelt to act as a turret, [[ShedArmorGainSpeed losing armor but gaining speed in the process]], and the pelt can be recalled almost instantly. The Grineer councilor Vay Hek gets in on the fun with the ability to call in a HumongousMecha orbital insertion within seconds, which he [[MetaMecha plugs his augmented body]] into.
* One of the new powers in ''VideoGame/DeusExMankindDivided'' is Titan Armor, which covers Adam in black polygonal armor that makes him {{Nigh Invulnerab|ility}}le.

* ''Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}'': Heroic Spirits can nigh-instantly change into their combat clothing (including armor) since it's technically just all constructed {{Mana}}. [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Mysterious Heroine XX]] brings this UpToEleven by how her Aahvalon armor can materialize around herself in ''negative one'' seconds. In other words, the armor will actually turn back time by one second to be equipped, meaning it should be impossible to catch her off-guard.

* In ''Webcomic/FlakyPastry'', GadgeteerGenius Nitrine has a suit of Mega Man-ish powered armor that collapses into the form of a belt-buckle. Usually works as a SuperMode with a 30-second time-limit due to enormous power-consumption, but if she gets her hands on an infinite power source... watch out.

* More Iron Man, this time as a teenager. In ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'', Tony Stark is 16 years old, and he's already figured out how to fold up the Iron Man Mk-1 armor into his backpack (equipped with anti-gravity servos so it doesn't weigh him down), with it unfolding and reforming in a matter of seconds.
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'': Kevin's powers during seasons 1 and 2 allowed him to create a thin membrane around his body consisting of any matter he was touching. Come season 3, an unfortunate Omnitrix-related accident transformed his entire body into an amalgamation of several materials he'd used in the past two seasons, but this was eventually cured.
* The eponymous ''WesternAnimation/{{Centurions}}'' would have various sets of armor and weaponry beamed onto their person from a satellite as needed.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' episode "Triangulation", Starscream chances upon a small (by Cybertronian standards) disc, which -- when attached to his chest -- spreads around his body, forming the titanic (and unstoppable) Apex Armor.

* The Amulet of Merlin from ''WesternAnimation/{{Trollhunters}}'' allows the Trollhunter to summon armor made of solid, silvery, metallic daylight -- complete with the Sword of Daylight -- onto their bodies instantaneously.

->'''Shuri:''' Old tech. Functional, but old. "Hey, people are shooting at me! Wait, let me put on my helmet!" Now, look at these... ''[demonstrates nanotech armour]'' The entire suit sits within the teeth of the necklace.
-->-- ''Film/BlackPanther''

* In Literature/TheDreamsideRoad, [[spoiler:Tucker]] makes armor out of [[ExtraOreDinary Cobalt Nine]]. He forms and changes his armor constantly during his duel with Orson, culminating in his Gigadeath technique, a fifteen foot armored monstrosity.

* In ''VideoGame/Persona5'', once a [[GuardianEntity Persona]] User has [[TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening awoken]] to their powers, their clothes change whenever they enter [[MentalWorld the Metaverse]], along with gaining the [[CoolMask mask of]] [[MaskOfPower their Persona]].

* The Robes from ''Anime/MaiOtome''. Once their receive authorization from their Masters an Otome can summon their Robe within the space of a few seconds. The Five Columns don't even have to worry about authorization.

* The Mimetic Beasts of ''Anime/ShinkonGattaiGodannar'', who are small, alien organisms who create huge bodies for themselves out of available materials - whether that is rocks, people, or a space-shuttle...

* Comicbook/BlackPanther's suit eventually gained this ability in TheNineties. A memorable scene from the first issue of Creator/{{Christopher Priest|Comics}}'s run had T'Challa change from a business suit into his Panther gear in the time it took from him to cross from underneath one streetlight to another.
* For a time, Comicbook/{{Cyborg}} from the ''Comicbook/TeenTitans'' had a cloned body with a piece of shape-shifting alien tech implanted inside. This allowed him to switch between a human appearance and his classic, armored form at will.
* Miss Thing uses a [[TransformationTrinket pair of rings]] to instantaneously summon her armor in ''Comicbook/{{FF}}''.

* The Engineer (of ''[[Comicbook/TheAuthority Authority]]'' fame) replaced her blood with nine pints of polymorphic metal. She generally extrudes enough of it to make a gleaming silver bodysuit.
* Samantha of ''Comicbook/ClanDestine'' can generate "ectoplasmic" armor and swords which are impervious to anything short of Wolverine's claws, do not disappear until she actively dispels them, and also [[RuleOfCool look very cool]]. The one downside is that generating the armor inevitably [[ClothingDamage shreds her clothes]]. Each time Sam armors up, it looks a little different, with the suggestion that she's doing this on purpose- which makes sense; Sam's an artist in her day job.

** Two worlds in the series, [[{{Film/Tron}} Space Paranoids]] and [[Film/TronLegacy The Grid]], will automatically force the protagonists to wear armor upon entering. Justified, as they are both computer worlds based on the same franchise, and they are both {{Fisher Kingdom}}s in the films, as well.

* In ''Videogame/{{Warframe}}'', the Rhino [[PoweredArmor warframe]] can use his Void powers to give himself additional armor, in the form of a coating of silver (or [[BlingBlingBang gold for Rhino Prime]]) metal. The Chroma warframe can cast aside his outer pelt to act as a turret, [[ShedArmorGainSpeed losing armor but gaining speed in the process]], and the pelt can be recalled almost instantly. The Grineer councilor Vay Hek gets in on the fun with the ability to call in a HumongousMecha orbital insertion within seconds, which he [[MetaMecha plugs his augmented body]] into.
* One of the new powers in ''Videogame/DeusExMankindDivided'' is Titan Armor, which covers Adam in black polygonal armor that makes him {{Nigh Invulnerab|ility}}le.
* In VideoGame/Persona5, once a [[GuardianEntity Persona]] User has [[TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening awoken]] to their powers, their clothes change whenever they enter [[MentalWorld the Metaverse]], along with gaining the [[CoolMask mask of]] [[MaskOfPower their Persona]].

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', both [[NiceGuy Eijiro Kirishima]] and [[ExtraOreDinary Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu]] have this power.

* ''ComicBook/XMen''

** Colossus, who can at anytime turn his entire body into organic steel. Likewise, ComicBook/EmmaFrost can transform into a diamond form.

** ''Film/IronMan''

** When we don't get the TransformationSequence, it's usually just a flash and the suit is fully formed. Gavan's narration tells us OnceAnEpisode that it actually takes .05 seconds. (Team-ups reveal that the Gokaigers' suit-up is much faster, while the Go-Busters' suit-up is much slower, but both do happen in less than a second. Mind you, the Go-Busters' transformation is usually done without a stock footage morph sequence, but in 'real' space and time, and ''no,'' it is ''not'' that fast as far as we can see.)

* Valkyrie Frames in ''Roleplay/BattleActionHaremHighschoolSideCharacterQuest'' can be materialized and dematerialzied at will, so long as one is synched to a Valkyrie Core. Experienced users can summon the Frame instantly, while those who haven’t been synched as long take a few seconds.

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''

* Implied in ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'', as the full Knights can apparently manifest [[PoweredArmor Shardplate]] from thin air. None of the characters in the story proper have reached that level just yet, but in Dalinar's vision of the past, a Knight can be seen casually summoning and dismissing her helmet without it being seen off her head.
** In ''Literature/RhythmOfWar'', we finally get to see this done on-screen.

* The titular LightNovel/InfiniteStratos are [[PoweredArmor powered exoskeletons]] that teleport onto/around the user, summoned via wrist band (though it can be stored in pretty much any accessory; Cecilia's is stored in her earrings, Charlotte has a necklace, and Laura has it in a holster strapped to her thigh). The user has the option of just summoning the arm of their machine, used mostly as a HyperspaceMallet gag (and in one episode, Cecilia summons an AttackDrone to help with "[[LethalChef cooking]]". [[StuffBlowingUp It goes about as well as you'd expect]].

* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima''

* One of the Black Phantom villains in ''Manga/ZettaiKarenChildren'' has the ability to spontaneously create HumongousMecha suits for himself, by using a combination of telekinesis and illusions. The suits are ACTUALLY just a number of handy vehicles and random bits of scenery suspended in the air and moved with TK, but his illusion-projection abilities makes it look -- and act -- like a classic mecha.
