Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })IMPORTANT: This has to be a direct recycling of a premise, or follow up to a work. Simply having some similarities to another show is not this trope. Whenever a work isn't about Humongous Mecha, a work might redo the premise (usually a Spinoff, Spiritual Successor, or Follow the Leader), that is largely about them. Say there is an old fairy tale about a good spirit that has to stop a horde of The Fair Folk from invading a village. Then someone makes an adaptation where the fair folk are aliens that pilot giant robots, and the good spirit turns out to be the only one who can pilot the Super Prototype and save Earth. Note that almost all other mecha related tropes can apply, as long as the previous/source work did not have mecha. A Sub-Trope of Recycled Premise. A Sister Trope to Instant Awesome: Just Add Mecha! and Rent-a-Zilla, Recycled In Space. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Examples |

Japanese Spider-Man, when Spider-Man received various tropes that would eventually be absorbed into Super Sentai (Specifically Battle Fever J onwards, as stated later). Spider-Man gets his powers and costume from an ancient alien race, and gets a car and a giant robot to go along with them. | |

The Lyrical Nanoha franchise is an oddly gradual version of this. While it started a Magical Girl Warrior spinoff (to Triangle Heart 3: Sweet Songs Forever), it added more and more mecha elements and Shout Outs over time, culminating in Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force where the characters are military officers using Powered Armor. | |

Gankutsuou, based on The Count of Monte Cristo. Duels are fought not just with pistols or swords, but with six-foot long swords wielded by Humongous Mecha. | |

BattleTech, the Trope Codifier for the Western Mecha genre, is essentially medieval Europe with Humongous Mecha-piloting knights in space. Despite two of the Great Houses being mostly Asian. The Star League is the Roman Empire, the Successor States are the assorted kingdoms of Western Europe (the Federated Commonwealth may qualify as the HRE), CommStar has influence similar to the Roman Catholic Church, and the Clans are the Hordes from the East. Played for Laughs with Catalyst Labs' BattleRun: Best Ever, which was Battletech combined with Shadowrun for an April Fool's Joke and therefore "Like Shadowrun but with Mecha added". |
