The Determinator, taken to its extremes.

I thought Determinator was about never giving up, regardless of the odds.

I don't think this is Determinator. I think this describes a situation where a vehicle or a weapon responds to the Heroic Willpower of its user and suddenly goes faster or shoots better despite physical limits on what it can do.

Rule of Drama may cover it

I guess it doesn't get much closer than Heroic Resolve or The Determinator. I was looking for the specific subtle reality warping thing. Rule of Cool/Drama has to cover that bit I suppose. Thanks anyway troopers, err, tropers.
