Instant Awesome: Just Add Mecha!	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Simply put, this is when a work is not about Mecha, but throws one or more in at some point(s) anyway. Why? Because giant robots are cool, duh! Note that perhaps no work absolutely needs mecha, but some works still center around them, especially a Super Robot show. This is when you can throw out the mecha and still have most of the work intact. But it wouldn't be as awesome, right? Other popular condiments for when authors feel a science fiction or adventure plot is in need of fresh flavor are giant monsters, zombies and ninja.

Although the mecha are cool to look at, they don't particularly do anything that the Power Trio couldn't do on their own aside from scaling up the fights (though in Season 2, they did fight another Humongous Mecha by a neighboring science-y nation and any other 'huge only' enemies). Although the mecha aspect helped them stand out amongst other Magical Girl entries and apparently made them eligible to enter Super Robot Wars in their 2019 installment.

These are bipedal, quadrupedal and other multi-legged Giant Robots that have immense plasma artillery for bombarding enemy positions and the colossi also double as shielded, heavily armored large-scale troop transports.

Ten years later, a new Phlebotinum known as the Void Genome has been developed, which allows its user to draw powerful items from people that reflect their personalities. After a terrorist group bent on liberating Japan steals this weapon, it winds up being accidentally bonded to Ordinary High-School Student Ouma Shu. It's a story that tries to show normal teenagers living under constant threat of strife and death. It also features some CG robots that serve mostly to give Shu some enemies to chop up with his weapon without having to kill anyone. Although prominent in the first episode, for most of the show they are mostly absent or in the background.

Instant Awesome: Just Add Mecha! / int_56fa0ea4	comment	The Civilization series has always been relatively realistic, so some fans were incensed when the most recent iteration allowed players to build Giant Death Robots. This became much less of an objection once it was clear that by the time players had sufficient technology and resources to build them, the game was pretty much over already. The Giant Death Robot's entry in the in-game encyclopedia repeatedly lampshades how spectacularly dumb the whole idea is, while admitting that it's far too cool to not include.

Instant Awesome: Just Add Mecha! / int_59151283	comment	The eponymous Metal Gear mechs could be anything, really, considering the themes of the games otherwise are unrelated to giant mecha. They do make for awesome boss battles, tho'. Especially in Metal Gear Solid 4 when you finally get to pilot one. In a nice bit of lampshade hanging in the book of the first game, Snake reflects that Otacon even gave the thing sound effects to sound like a dragon. It doesn't get much cooler than that. Of course, Otacon is an Otaku who got into robot engineering for the sole reason that he wanted to build Humongous Mecha like in anime. Of course he is going to want to snazz it up. His commentary in MGS4 suggests he and the rest of the engineering team sneaked in a lot of little features like that, just because they had the opportunity.

Let's face it, they don't need to include the Make My Monster Grow part every episode, but nobody's really complaining about the giant robots the Rangers pull out in response. The first two Sentai series, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger and J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai, had no super robots, just Gerry Anderson-esque vehicles, and the latter was not very successful — it was the introduction of super robots into the show with Battle Fever J that distinguished the show from the dozens of other Henshin Hero shows at the time and made it a Cash-Cow Franchise.

Instant Awesome: Just Add Mecha! / int_e8d19c42	comment	In Phantasy Star Online 2, one of the game's Emergency Quests, "Mining Base: Despair", is, as the name suggests, quite the challenge. Evening the playing field for the players, thankfully, is the A.I.S. (ARKS Interception Silhouette), a Purposely Overpowered Mini-Mecha outfitted with a giant sword, chaingun, rocket launcher, and beam cannon. The main downside to these mechs is that they only operate for about a couple minutes at a time, but you can take out bosses and whole volumes of baddies in such a short time with this baby! Some quests place the player in control of A.I.S. for their entire duration to combat a gigantic boss of some sort. The first pits the mechs against the towering Magatsu. The second has them facing off against a replica of the battleship Yamato. Yes, that Yamato. Though for the sake of fairness, they've taken some creative liberties regarding its arsenal...
