1 | '''Basic Trope''': HumongousMecha that runs on willpower, courage and hot-blood; it's mere existence is enough to [[HollywoodScience break the laws of physics]]. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Troperion Z is a mecha powered by the ''AppliedPhlebotinum Drive'', and it's the only weapon powerful enough to stop the invasion of the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Weekler Beasts]] while the whole army of [[RedShirt Armed Porte's mechas]] always have a hard time against one. Given to {{Hot Blood}}ed OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Alice by Professor Bob. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Against {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, Troperion Z can use the Applied Phlebotinum Drive at maximum power. This causes it to grow so large that it can keep the entire universe in its belly while emits internal-dimensional waves that can wipe-out entire worlds without even lifting a finger. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': The RedShirtArmy can defeat Weekler Beasts, albeit with some difficulty. Troperion Z's power is used for special missions like taking out Weekler commanders, and it's rarely sent in alone. |
5 | * '''Justified''': Both Troperion Z and the Applied Phlebotinum Drive were found on the ruined planet of the [[{{Precursor}} Pretropian civilization]]. It's so advanced and powerful that modern technology can't come close to replicate it. |
6 | * '''Inverted''': |
7 | ** RealRobotGenre |
8 | ** The robots are fairly mundane, the humans meanwhile are all super. |
9 | * '''Subverted''': |
10 | ** Despite of its power, Troperion Z usually has hard time against the Weekler and Alice must pull some clever strategies against each of them. |
11 | ** Troperion Z is actually a pretty mundane, [[AcePilot it's Alice who is "super"]]. |
12 | * '''Double Subverted''': Troperion Z still can perform some inexplicable tricks, all thanks to mysterious nature of Applied Phlebotinum Drive. |
13 | * '''Parodied''': Troperion Z [[{{Lampshaded}} quite blatantly]] has NewPowersAsThePlotDemands; Alice wins fights via lucky flukes more than skill, and often [[NiceJobBreakingItHero makes things worse.]] |
14 | * '''Zig Zagged''': ??? |
15 | * '''Averted''': |
16 | ** The mechanics behind Troperion Z's function are [[RealRobot pretty well-defined]]. |
17 | ** Troperion Z actually [[FlawedPrototype does worse than the Armed Portes]]. |
18 | * '''Enforced''': ??? |
19 | * '''Lampshaded''': |
20 | -->'''Bob''': The weakness of the Armed Porte mechas is that they are law-abiding, Alice. [[RealRobot Laws of physics, that is.]] But with my Super Troper Applied Phlebotinum Drive [[XtremeKoolLetterz X3000]], [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment powered by]] the [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway power of heart]], the Troperion Z will defy such pesky things! Those Weeklers will never know what hit them! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha! |
21 | * '''Invoked''': "Impossible! To stop that Weekler you need to be faster than light!" |
22 | * '''Exploited''': ??? |
23 | * '''Defied''': Troperion Z is actually based on same technology with Armed Porte. It's just that Troperion Z is much larger and has more powerful generator to powered its gimmick. |
24 | * '''Discussed''': On her first time piloting Troperion Z, without knowledge of its arsenal, Alice pushes a random button and [[CallingYourAttacks shouts]] "RocketPunch!", because "that's how it works on TV". If Troperion does not actually have a RocketPunch, Alice may request to have one installed. |
25 | * '''Conversed''': ??? |
26 | * '''Deconstructed''': |
27 | ** While he appears to be [[VillainWithGoodPublicity an ally of justice]], Professor Bob is really a [[ManipulativeBastard nefarious schemer]] who is using Alice and Troperion Z against the [[StarfishAliens benevolent Weekler]], the only obstacle standing between him and [[HumansAreCthulhu his plan to conquer the galaxy]], something that would be extremely easy with Troperion Z on his side. |
28 | ** Alice is a ShrinkingViolet and has been forced to pilot Troperion Z against her will. |
29 | ** In each battle, Troperion Z cause heavy collateral damage. |
30 | ** As impressive as it is, the Troperion Z's price tag makes it AwesomeButImpractical. It's scrapped when they realize they can produce a ''[[ZergRush horde]]'' of [[RealRobot Armed Portes]] and [[TankGoodness old fashioned tanks]] and stock them with [[WeHaveReserves basically trained grunts]] for a fraction of the price, and get the same results. |
31 | ** Troperion Z is possibly not even a robot anymore but a EldritchAbomination who is powered by Alice's emotions which by the point it awakens means it is feeding off her fear and anger. |
32 | * '''Reconstructed''': |
33 | ** Despite being the UnwittingPawn for most of the story, Alice still believes in Troperion Z, and through hard-work and guts she manages to foil Bob's terrible scheme. |
34 | ** Alice TookALevelInBadass, all thanks to the times she fought in Troperion Z. |
35 | ** The collateral damage, though huge, is [[GodzillaThreshold lesser than what would be caused by the monsters if they were allowed to rampage endlessly.]] |
36 | ** However if Alice manages her emotions right she could actually manage to control the EldritchAbomination that is Troperion Z and thus thwarting any new Weeklers trying to destroy the world. |
