* In ''ComicBook/IronMan'', Tony Stark is kidnapped while visiting Vietnam ([[Film/IronMan1 Afghanistan in the film version]]) and ordered to help develop weapons for his captors. But instead of rigging a [=MacGyver=]-style escape plan, he uses the equipment he's given to build a suit of PoweredArmor and break out. He also once built a [[HumongousMecha giant robot]] named Red Ronin to fight [[Comicbook/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters [[ComicBook/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters Godzilla]] -- can't forget that!

* Happens a few times in ''FanFic/{{Contraptionology}}'' as the science-crazed ponyvillians start getting hostile, but Twilight Sparkle takes the cake. In a bid to achieve immortality, she constructs a liquid-metal robot body to transplant her brain into. To up the ante further, she decides to test the robot to ensure that her magic will still work, so she loads it with all her magic capability and a programmed personality based on ''Trixie, her rival who hates her''. And in case that wasn't enough goading fate, she then tells Robo-Trixie that she'll wipe her personality once the tests are done.
