Basic Trope: Technology acquired or stolen from an alien race.
- Straight: The Fighter Kaiser is a giant robot created by the Pretropian Guild, but was captured by Alice, the leader of the Mecha Force.
- Exaggerated: The Fighter Kaiser was created by The Wordcruftian Natterbeast, but Alice managed to destroy it and capture the robot.
- Downplayed:
- The military simply used alien technology to create Fighter Kaiser.
- Fighter Kaiser turns out to be more useful as a practical example of how to build a giant robot than a combat unit, and the home-grown designs of Mecha Force quickly surpass it.
- Justified:
- Fighter Kaiser was meant to be piloted by a human to defend Earth from various threats.
- Fighter Kaiser was meant to interface with other robots, such as Troperion Beta and Body Busto.
- Inverted: Fighter Kaiser was built on Earth and stolen by the Pretropian Guild.
- Subverted: While stranded on the moon, Alice discovered technology that allowed her to build Fighter Kaiser.
- Double Subverted: Fighter Kaiser was modifed using alien technology after getting severely damaged.
- Parodied:
- Fighter Kaiser was created by an alien resembling Shinji Ikari.
- Fighter Kaiser was created by God himself, but was stolen by Amuro Ray.
- Zig Zagged: Fighter Kaiser was built by the PG and stolen by Alice, then it ended up on Earth, where it was found by Bob, who became its main pilot from that point forward.
- Averted: Fighter Kaiser is an Earth-made invention, and in fact not easily compatible with alien weapon upgrades.
- Enforced: Making the technology of alien origin allows the work to Hand Wave away questions about realism because the Sufficiently Advanced Aliens made it.
- Lampshaded: "They don't make 'em that way on Earth, huh?"
- Invoked: A small-name but very sly officer in the Mecha Force lures the Pretropian Guild to Earth before they're ready to capture their technology and give the Earth a better fighting chance.
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Mecha Force actively refuses to use any alien technology for any reason, either because they don't need to, or because they are aware of how dangerous it is.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Implied: There are numerous hints that Fighter Kaiser is a alien robot, but it's never been explicitly stated, despite it looking like a Optimus Prime ripoff.
- Deconstructed: Mecha Force don't know how Fighter Kaiser works, and the method of controlling it is so utterly alien that it is just as dangerous to the Mecha Force as it is to anything they happen to point it at.
- Reconstructed: Alice learns from her mistakes after her initial battles using Fighter Kaiser, and Mecha Force follows a proper procedure for reverse-engineering the technology.
- Played For Laughs: When Kira, Bob's rival, realizes that the Fighter Kaiser is an alien robot, she stops at nothing to take it for herself, going so far as to build her own version of it named the Kira Kaiser, which has no legs at all, and looks a lot like her.
- Played For Drama:
- Kira attempts to kill both Alice and Bob to try and steal Fighter Kaiser.
- When the Fighter Kaiser merges with Troperion Beta and Body Busto, the robots were damaged in the process, nearly killing both Alice, Bob, and Shiro.
- The Fighter Kaiser alters Bob's personality, causing him to become increasingly aggressive towards his friends.
- Played For Horror: Fighter Kaiser turns out to be Alien-Imported Alien Phlebotinum, and was originally created by Demon Voider as a means of wiping out entire star systems.
