A character that likes to play around with machines and usually gets filthy doing so. A side effect of his grunginess is that he often turns out to be Mr. Fixit in some way, shape or form. These characters usually work with mundane objects like cars or stereos or fuse boxes. If they show up in a fantastic setting, they'll often mistrust technology and favor elbow grease to solve a problem. Their way of speech will also make their spaceships sound like normal motor vehicles. In other words, this is a mechanic, be he mundane or fantastic, with a lot of similar threads regardless of the type. See Wrench Wench for the Distaff Counterpart to this trope. Not to be confused with the name of the comic book by Tim Eldred or the Firefox app enabling custom scripting. |

Scooter in Borderlands has the stereotypical accent and manners of a redneck but when it comes to vehicles and machines he's a savant, to the point where he could be considered a Mr. Fixit. This is due to him being a member of the Hodunk clan, who are all rednecks with a talent for mechanics. | |

Scotty and every engineer in Star Trek. Which kind of makes sense, since why else would you pick that job if you didn't like to play with machines? Star Trek also has Tom Paris, who isn't an engineer in any shape or form ? except on the holodeck, where he loves to tinker around with antique (read: 20th-century) cars and actually calls his program Grease Monkey. Actually, he did rebuild an entire shuttle with an obsessive girlfriend for an AI from scrap. |

Warhammer 40,000: Ork mekboyz, and to a lesser extent grot riggers. The former are orks with genetic knowledge of physics and engineering dedicated to building vehicles, Humongous Mecha and starships that are bigger, faster and uglier than the last one (and by dedicated we mean "other orks think they aren't right in the head"), while the latter are sent to perform emergency repairs in the bowels of said vehicles, Humongous Mecha and starships with nothing but oilcans, wrenches, hammers, and dirty rags. Averted for the most part with members of the Adeptus Mechanicus, who view science as a religion (although mention is sometimes made of Mechanicus lay brothers, who are presumably less interested in the theological aspect). |

In Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, Avril Mead is known to the prisoners of the 444th Squadron (a penal squadron that she is assigned to be the mechanic for) as the 'Scrap Queen', as she's an incredible mechanic who can, with enough airplane pieces from wrecked jets, assemble and improve jet fighters. With some help from her grandfather and his old war buddies, she even salvaged enough pieces from a scrap yard to assemble a working fighter jet that she took off in. (Unfortunately, she took off just as Erusea launched a drone-fighter surprise attack across Osea, one of which was being chased right by her when she was in the sky... and she had neglected to install an IFF that would identify her to the Osean pilots. She was shot down, but survived- and was thrown in jail for her trouble.) | |
