You're surrounded by bad guys, outnumbered many to one. What do you do? Call for back up? No, it's time to split up!
Detachment combat happens when a character, robot, monster, or spaceship has the ability to break into sections, with each piece capable of fighting separately. May be justified with Easily Detachable Robot Parts.
For flesh beings who do this, the fact that the limbs can work despite being, you know, detached is either not addressed or made into Required Secondary Powers; another secondary power is to levitate all those limbs, and superhuman coordination or Organ Autonomy (for robot characters/mechas, the technology used in building them likely justifies all of the issues above). Don't expect to see exposed organs or blood gushing out of the detached parts; they're either neatly covered or Made of Bologna.
A Rocket Punch is a form of this. Helping Hands is also a form of this if it's voluntary. Characters with Floating Limbs have justification for this, although they may not always be able to perform this.
Distinct from Pulling Themselves Together in that detaching is a feature and an attack, not the result of damage.
Contrast with Combining Mecha and the horrific mutilation tropes: An Arm and a Leg, Off with His Head! and Half the Man He Used to Be. User of this trope may fool their enemy into thinking that one of the three aforementioned mutilation tropes are happen, only to surprise them by making the detached body parts move. Similarly, tactically separating Combining Mecha can be useful in the right situation.
See also Disposable Vehicle Section, Losing Your Head and Drone Deployer. For different kind of detaching, compare One to Million to One; Blob Monster and Elemental Shapeshifter may be able to do something similar. Does not mean that the combatant appears not to care about the fight — that's Cavalier Competitor.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game: Shogun, the boss of the stage House of Shogun, which is unique to the NES version, has the ability to cause his head to detach and fly around the arena as you fight him. Upon defeat, Shogun explodes until only pair of robot legs remain, revealing he was some variety of robot.

Star Trek Online features unique consoles for saucer separation on the Galaxy- and Odyssey-class cruisers, multi-vector assault mode in the Prometheus-class escort, and dual vector separation on the Haakona Advanced Warbird (a Romulan ship built using stolen plans for the Prometheus). The Odyssey-class and Bortasqu'-class can also equip consoles that allow them to separate an independent section that is also available as a ship on its own, respectively the Aquarius-class destroyer and HoH'SuS-class bird of prey. Apart from the main faction ships, the cross-faction Elachi Sheshar-class Dreadnought Cruiser is also capable of deploying the Assault Vessel that serves as its lower hull.

Angel: The Monster of the Week in "I Fall to Pieces" can detach an eye to Eye Spy or detach his hands and send them scuttering off to strangle people. Angel ends up knocking off his head, then buries him in separate metal boxes in a freeway construction site just in case he can reattach that as well.

Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City: The boss of the Molten Caves, the Gatekeeper, has the ability to separate its body parts so each of them can attack independently. When the parts regroup, they can shoot a potentially lethal laser attack, so the party has to strive to destroy at least one of the parts (though doing that will trigger a very dangerous Self-Destruct Mechanism to another part).

In his fight with Sunny, Tommyrod from Toriko loses his hand. Then it turns out that he deliberately let this happen, so that his hand (which can live on its own for few hours, due to the insect-like nervous system of Tommyrod) could attack the enemy from behind. Surprisingly, Sunny did the exact same thing with strands of his hair, which Tommyrod ripped off earlier.

In A Good Compromise, the USS Black Prince is a Hephaestus-class advanced escort, a variant of the Prometheus-class, so naturally it has multi-vector assault mode. The fic deals with some of the practicalities of having three independently operated sections: each section requires an independent warp core, and coordinating the three sections is more than a mortal captain can handle, so Prince's shipboard Artificial Intelligence Edward, is in charge of flying Beta and Gamma. Tyria Sark uses MVAM in part 3 to even the odds against a squadron of Jem'Hadar attack ships.

Galaxy Angel II: In the climax of Zettai Ryouiki no Tobira, it's revealed that the Luxiole can split between the upper and lower sections, allowing both to be controlled independently (the upper half has most of the weapons while the lower one has the shield generators).

The animated suits of armor in Bedknobs and Broomsticks do this during their skirmish with the invading Nazis. One suit's upper half is lifted off for examination by a perplexed officer, so its legs boot him from behind. Another suit's upper torso, head, and arm keep popping off to avoid harm when a German soldier jabs at it with a bayonet, then settle back into place. Justified because they're Animated Armor, so their various parts are no less enchanted to move than the whole.

In Pathfinder, characters with the Skeleton ancestry can take the "Well-armed" feat, allowing them to remove one of their arms and continue wielding a weapon with it. The detached arm has no locomotion and must be held by the other arm to be useful, but it gives them additional reach with their attacks and the unorthodox technique catches opponents off-guard.

Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition:
Shard minds can break into shards and use it as movement and disorientation. It's not very effective though. Take a few feats and you can do it twice an encounter, throw it, and increase the aura. An epic feat makes it deal damage. And it doesn't have to roll to hit.
One ability by a Prestige shard mind class has your character explode into a hurricane of shards, covering several squares, able to move the hurricane, and still being able to attack anyone inside the field. Much, much more effective.

Undead creatures of Evil biomes in Dwarf Fortress have the bad habit, when dismembered, to keep fighting as any part that has a grasping limb. Cut their hand off, and the hand may come to life and strangle you. Behead them, and the head will chase you and bite at you.

A specific challenge in Mortal Kombat 9's Challenge Tower requires the battle to be conducted by throwing your arms, legs, and head at your opponent. After you do, your flung limb will regrow after a certain period of time.

In Parasyte, Migi can separate themself from Shinichi, and also split into multiple smaller Migis (though at their size they're not much good at fighting). Reiko Tamura also splits herself into two parts at one point when she's fighting other Parasites.

One of Sirene's signature attacks in the Devilman series is her ability to fire off her arms at opponents — generally she'll fire one arm while keeping the other attached in most situations. She can use the detached arm to grab enemies and immobilize them, as seen when she used it on Ryo Asuka to stop him interfering in her fight with Devilman, or use her antennae to direct the arm towards opponents as a wickedly sharp missile or Deadly Disc to tear straight through them.

An early conceptual storyboard from Star Trek: The Motion Picture had the Enterprise facing off against the three Klingon cruisers that V'ger had assimilated at the start of the movie. During the fight the Enterprise is damaged, and she ends up separating her saucer section in order to avoid being a single target.

Star Trek:
In Star Trek: The Next Generation, the saucer of the Galaxy-class can separate and fight independently of the stardrive. However, the saucer section is only seen participating in combat in "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II". On all other occasions, it is used as a large escape pod for the non-combatants like the families of the crew, which was the original intention of the saucer separation feature; using it as an actual weapon was a tactic of desperation.
Star Trek: Voyager: "Message In A Bottle" introduces the USS Prometheus, a "one-ship task force" capable of separating into three independently warp-capable sections for combat. Once split apart, the three component ships can surround an enemy vessel to create a devastating crossfire.

Gundam series:
The Turn-X Gundam from ∀ Gundam has this as its most notable ability - its limbs can break off, and divide into smaller pieces, to fly around and attack the opponent from many directions at once with beam attacks and a strange power that dries-out the energy of opponent mechas. Recreated on great detail in Super Robot Wars Z
The Great Zeong from the G Generation video games, apparently the original plan for the Zeong from Mobile Suit Gundam but nowhere near feasible for its time, does the same (and in fact, its various "segments" are based on Zeon mobile armors: the legs on the Bigro, the waist on the Big Zam, and the chest on the Apsaras). The regular Zeong can send its arms out on cables, and its head is an escape craft, but it's not quite the same.

The game allows you to detach your (and your opponents') limbs through powerful enough strikes or pulls (using grabbing arms). Although you will get the equivalent of a stun if you lose a limb/body part, on your next turn you will still be able to control that body part, along with your fighter. As with nearly any situation that spawns out of the game, this can create some...interesting situations. For example, if someone tears off your arm, you better damn well grab his arm (or other body part) with the severed limb so he can't throw it down to the ground to disqualify you.
There are several game modes. Most of them are about not touching the ground outside the ring or with body parts which aren't feet/hands. One of them replaces your hands with long, thin sticks that instantly cut off every part they touch — essentially, swords. Due to arms being connected to pectoral muscles that are two orbs making up the whole chest, taking a cut or a stab to there causes the whole arm from shoulder down to fall off. But, to the point — that arm is fully capable of twitching around with its elbow and wrist, and its hand-sword is as lethal to the enemy as it was. You also don't get disqualified for it landing on the floor. Sometimes an enemy running into your severed arm is what decides of the ultimate victory of yours.

JoJolion: Joshu's Stand, Nut King Call, can detach parts of people, but he can also detach parts of himself and move it around, such as by detaching his tongue and making it lick Hato's ears. Also, Wu Tomoki's Stand allows him to crumble into tiny stone fragments which can take control of someone if they get inside their body. In a play on this ability, he doesn't have much control over the fragments if they get small enough, so he has to rely on things like air conditioning systems and sprinklers to propel him around.

Cluster bots in Robot Wars, going into the arena as one unit, splitting up when the battle starts. The first and most notable was Gemini, and in the middleweight division, there was Typhoon Twins - which consisted of the lightweight bots Typhoon Lightning and Typhoon Thunder connected with essentially a piece of string and a sheet of paper at the start of the match. Originally a cluster bot was judged to have lost if one of the units was rendered immobile, but this was later changed...and then changed back.

Diamond is Unbreakable: Yuya Fungami's Highway Star can break its body down into dozens of small feet to rush a target. It proves useful against Koichi, who can only attack one at a time, and in the anime, it's used to great effect fighting Enigma, where as he's being turned to paper, Highway Star detaches and extends his arm far enough to rescue the similarly paper Koichi and Josuke.

Den Ace, an Ultra Series parody, had one of the finishing moves of the titular character involve detaching his head and throwing it at his enemy, after which it returns to him in a boomerang like fashion.

Parodied in The Suicide Squad with TDK, played by Nathan Fillion. TDK turns out to stand for The Detachable Kid whose power to have his arms come off and fly around slapping soldiers, which is as useful as you'd think. He's one of the Cannon Fodder Decoy Protagonists just there to be killed while the actual Squad storms the island.

Sometimes shows up in the Perry Rhodan universe. At the more mundane level, some fleet tender designs have a command section that can separate from the attached repair platform and operate on its own, although this is generally less for combat and more for emergency situations; serious military application tends to be more limited to unique Battle Star-type designs like OLD MANnote (hemisphere with twelve detachable rectangular platforms extending outwards from the base), the SOLnote (cylindrical central section connecting two spheres), or the GILGAMESHnote (splittable dodecahedron with a central section for thirteen parts total).

Dead Space had this twisted example of a type of necromorph (Undead-like monster enemies that attack you throughout the game). This type of necromorph attacks similarly to most other necromorphs (get close enough and slash), but distinguishes itself by being tall and spindly in build. Once you 'kill' one of these by doing enough damage to it, however, it splits up into its head and four separate limbs and continues crawling, slithering (yes, the head slithers) and attacking the player via these appendages. And if you get overwhelmed by them your head gets torn off and its head replaces it.

The H'rulka in the Star Carrier books fly around in gigantic ships (a necessity, given that H'rulka themselves are enormous gasbags that evolved on a gas giant) that turn out to be composed of smaller individual ships, with each of these being, essentially a one-man fighter. Of course, each of those one-man "fighters" is larger than a human frigate, but the H'rulka find them incredibly claustrophobic (a H'rulka doesn't even notice a human SEALS team entering his "fighter", the same way as a human might not notice an ant crawling around in his car).

Masters of the Universe: This was the power of the toy version of Modulok, whose base form was a two headed, multi-limbed monstrosity. When faced with multiple opponents, he could split separate ambulatory parts and reassemble into different forms, ultimately able to split into two separate bodies. There were actually enough parts to make him three creatures, but the third tended to be rather weird in comparison. In fact, the mini-comic that introduced him actually had Modulok infiltrate Eternia Castle by sending his detached body parts to each of the Masters, attacking them as individuals before forming up to his true form. His minion Multi-Bot had the same power, and the two formed a very dangerous quartet.

The Great Zeong from the G Generation video games, apparently the original plan for the Zeong from Mobile Suit Gundam but nowhere near feasible for its time, does the same (and in fact, its various "segments" are based on Zeon mobile armors: the legs on the Bigro, the waist on the Big Zam, and the chest on the Apsaras). The regular Zeong can send its arms out on cables, and its head is an escape craft, but it's not quite the same.

One of the main attractions of M.A.S.K. are its Transforming Vehicles, converting from a normal vehicle into a combat ready Defense Mode. The Defense Modes of several vehicles split the vehicle up in multiple components.
Rhino is a semitruck that can detach the back of the vehicle to form a small battlecar.
Meteor is a jet, which can detach the fuselage to form a smaller jet, while the thrusters form heavy artillery.
Buzzard is an Indy car that splits up into two piloted two-wheeled vehicles and an autonomous flying drone. The back spoiler of the vehicle can also detach to form a hang glider.
The final toyline of MASK is the Split Seconds line. The main gimmick of this line is that all the vehicles split into two separate combat vehicles, with one being controlled by the pilot and another by a holographic clone of them.

The Yellow Devil and its variations in the Mega Man games primarily attack by breaking their bodies into pieces and flying across the screen. They rarely stay fully formed for long, which is also generally the only time you can harm them. This tends to make them difficult fights.
Bounce Man from Mega Man 11 is also capable of splitting into pieces and bouncing around the room, but he never does this on his own; it is always done as retaliation for striking him with the Pile Driver.

Arcee from Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen does this, but there is a degree of ambiguity as whether she's this or a Combining Mecha. The writers of the film initially conceived her as being one robot made of three bikes which would even combine together into a larger robot mode but the appearance of the combined mode was ultimately dropped and Michael Bay changed her into three separate robots which the toys agree with. Even then, Bay considered them one character with three bodies while the toys gave them individual names and backstories. HOWEVER, the novelization and comics portray her in the way the authors intended, with the combined mode appearing briefly in each.

Monsoon of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is capable of separating his entire body due to his body being made up of magnets. He can make use of this ability to avoid Raiden's sword attacks, and to attack Raiden with his various body parts both independently and from a distance. In the end, Raiden kills him by slicing through the one critical part that he can't separate: his head itself right between his upper and lower jaws. The fact that the rest of his body finally exploded after that helped seal the deal.

Kingdom Hearts series
The Guard Armor boss in Kingdom Hearts has autonomous limbs, which move and battle on their own when taken enough damage. It is necessary to defeat each of the limbs before finishing off the torso to beat it.
Finkelstein's Experiment from the second game shares this ability.
The Trinity Armor in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is much like the Guard Armor, except its individual parts actually turn into what resemble flying machines (i.e. its arms become a helicopter, etc.)

Transformers:
The Transformers (Generation One). One episode saw Optimus Prime forcibly detached, his parts spread across New York City when the Decepticons attempted to convert Manhattan into their new base. His right hand (armed with his weapon) was used by the Decepticons as a turret.
Devastator, Superion et al. are actually Combining Mecha, but Sky Lynx is a notable exception: His vehicle form is a space shuttle, but he splits into a bird AND lynx in robot mode, two separate bodies that share one mind.
Of note would also be Nexus Prime, progenitor of the combiners and creator of the Enigma of Combination. Unlike other combiners, Nexus himself is the primary robot form, but he can still separate into five independent robots. Of course because of this nature, the five components are also fragments of Nexus's own mind and not all together there. They also seem to search each other out when separated, working to combine back into Nexus.

The Fighting Fantasy world has the Living Corpse, a shabby zombie-like being that, when hit for the first time, splits into six parts, all floating around and attacking independently. Thus leading to a long, frustrating fight, as each time you won an attack round you randomly roll to see which part you hit, and if you hit a part you'd already disabled the hit is wasted.

comment
In Star Trek: The Next Generation, the saucer of the Galaxy-class can separate and fight independently of the stardrive. However, the saucer section is only seen participating in combat in "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II". On all other occasions, it is used as a large escape pod for the non-combatants like the families of the crew, which was the original intention of the saucer separation feature; using it as an actual weapon was a tactic of desperation.
