* ''WesternAnimation/MaxSteel'': Max was just an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent (actually a college student but okay, i am assuming the troper is referring to the tropes name instead of the grade level) until an accidental injection of {{nanomachines}} gave him super strength and endurance. Gets pretty heavy with it, too, as the show loved to sneak in more complexity than most Saturday morning cartoons get away with; the nanomachines here run on a [[AppliedPhlebotinum unique form of power]] known as "Trans-Phasik Energy" or "T-Juice" -- the flipside being that said energy is [[PlotDrivenBreakdown burned rather quickly in combat]]. The nanites have symbiotic relationship with the protagonist: if they go offline, he dies. Surprisingly not played for a plot point as often as one might think so much as an occasional inconvenience... until the show's ''entire third season'', in which [[spoiler:the government forces the agency to disband after terrorists steal the generator and nearly wipe out the UN with it. It is implied that the main character is living on borrowed time without the full-size power generator, and that he will die in the near future with only the portable model to fall back on. Whenever he powers up, he's burning off said time. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice Job Killing Yourself, Hero?]]]]
