History Main / Faceship

* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': The HMS Asuka Langley Sohryu is a moon-sized starship. It has a 1000 kilometre tall picture of Asuka painted on its hulk, wearing her plug-suit.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'': The Shy Guys and Shifit take Luigi to Bowser in a Shy Guy-shaped hot air balloon; the balloon itself is the hood, while the basket is the mask.

* ComicBook/{{Brainiac}}'s ship. In ''Comicbook/SupermanBrainiac'', his ship looks right like his skull, with CombatTentacles attached to the base.
* In ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'', Dr. Sivana's head appears in the form of a tentacled faceship similar to Brainiac's, slaughtering the Marvel Family in a movie sequence made to torture a grown-up Billy Batson into submission to Lex Luthor's will.
* Franchise/{{Batman}}'s Batmobile sometimes has his masked face on it. One time, ComicBook/TheJoker decided he should have something like that and created the Jokermobile, which has his face on it.
* Vartox's ''Intergalactic Headship'' from the pages of ComicBook/PowerGirl most certainly qualifies.

* The ''Ratman'' comic strips in the ''Roland Rat'' [[TheChristmasAnnual Christmas Annuals]] reinvent the Ratmobile (which in the puppet shows is a bright pink Ford Anglia) as a racer shaped like Roland's head, with exhaust "whiskers" and a giant version of his omnipresent sunglasses as the windscreen.

* Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' series makes plenty of ships that have his face on it, most notably the Death Egg.

* Team Rocket's Meowth Balloon from ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''. Also, they're Magikarp (originally a Gyarados) submarine.

->''"What kind of weirdo puts his face on the bow of a ship, anyway?"''
-->-- '''[[VideoGame/MetalGear Solid Snake]]''', talking with Mei Ling about [[VideoGame/{{Kirby}} Meta Knight]] and his Battleship Halberd in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''

* Team Rocket's Meowth Balloon from ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}''. Also, their Magikarp (originally a Gyarados) submarine.

* [[TheDragon Megatron's]] [[TankGoodness tank mode]] from ''[[Film/{{Transformers}} Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' for some reason has his face on the front.

Often overlaps with CoolSpaceship, CoolAirship, CoolBoat, or CoolCar. If the face has a mouth that can swallow things, it's a MegaMawManeuver. Villainous versions overlap with MalevolentMugshot. This is a {{Subtrope}} of {{Thememobile}}.

* Hot Wheels has a line of ''Franchise/StarWars'' themed vehicles, some of which seem to be characters' heads of faces turned into cars.

* ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'': Samus Aran's Gunship throughout its various incarnations usually seems to be designed with Samus' helmet at the front. Granted, it's not really her face, just the helmet that she wears.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': The sample dwarven spaceship in ''TabletopGame/SpellJammer'' is shaped like a giant dwarf's head.

* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'', Snake encounters Liquid Ocelot's base of operations, Outer Haven, which for strange reasons, has the faces of Solidus Snake, Liquid Snake, Solid Snake and Big Boss on it that resemble Mt. Rushmore. It has been nicknamed "[[FanNickname Mt. Snakemore]]".

* ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'' has the "Gatmobile" Which is a big ol van with a Gat head for a front end, usually ridden by a Saints mascot wearing a large Gat mask. It's not unique although [[MetalSlime you'll probably think it is]] and it's implied to be one of the parts of the Saints turning into pop-culture icons. Oh and it doubles as the most durable vehicle that isn't a Tank, and as a result, doesn't cause mass panic when it's driven.

* Several of the historical Cooper family vehicles from ''VideoGame/Sly3HonorAMongThieves'' have stylized Cooper faces in the design, notably the autogyro.

* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank'': More an occasion of Facestation in A Crack In Time with the Nefarious Space Station that's shaped like Dr. Nefarious' head.

* Gantu's ship in ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch''.

* There's the Knowhere from ''Comicbook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' (that is, the 2006 series). It's made out of the severed head of a giant, über-powerful, space-god.

* Subverted in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'': the ''Falmel'', Char Aznable's personal ''Musai''-class cruiser, may have a bridge tower customized to be vaguely reminiscent of his helmet and mask, but it was already there ''before'' Char was given it by admiral Dozle Zabi, who has been seen commanding Zeon's fleet at Loum from either the ''Falmel'' itself or a cruiser with the same modification.
** The latter is explicitely the case in the retelling ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamTheOrigin'': Dozle commanded the Battle of Loum from the ''Valkirye'', [[AceCustom a command modification that includes that bridge design, improved communication suite, and point defense]], and later had the ''Falmel'' customized in the same way before assigning it to Char.

* Subverted in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'': the ''Falmel'', Char Aznable's personal ''Musai''-class cruiser, may have a bridge tower customized to be vaguely reminiscent of his helmet and mask, but it was already there ''before'' Char was given it by admiral Dozle Zabi, who has been seen commanding Zeon's fleet at Loum from either the ''Falmel'' itself or a cruiser with the same modification (the latter is explicitely the case in the retelling ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamTheOrigin'', where Dozle commanded the Battle of Loum from the ''Valkirye'', that had the same bridge tower [[AceCustom alongside a few other modifications]], and later had the ''Falmel'' customized ''in imitation of his flagship'' before assigning it to Char).

* Benjamin Gundam V2 from ''Anime/SDGundamWorldHeroes'' captains a ship that has a Gundam face at the bow.
