Roboteching	comment	Missiles or beam weapons that fire along trajectories that are at an unlikely angle off of their target, streak along for a fair distance, and then make sudden synchronized turns in order to actually bring themselves to bear and hit it. The individual missiles of a Macross Missile Massacre almost always Robotech on their way to a target. Often, it seems the best (or only) way to avoid this or a Macross Missile Massacre is to perform a High-Speed Missile Dodge. Named for the adaptation of several anime known as Robotech, in which the behavior was first seen in the West. Subtrope of Homing Projectile. When lasers do this, it's Homing Lasers. See also Magic Missile Storm, which is likely to involve this trope. When an unguided projectile does this because a game engine assumes attacks always hit, it's Homing Boulders. See also Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics.

Roboteching / int_1a1a594f	comment	Infantry anti-tank missiles in Battlefield 2 and 2142 can be guided in-flight by the player. While their turning ability is limited, it is quite possible to jink them around corners and low walls to hit a target behind it. The helicopter-mounted TV-guided missiles in the hands of a skilled player is capable of some pretty impressive roboteching, such as turning around and hitting targets behind the helicopter, and maneuvering around buildings to hit a hiding tank. In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, players can unlock a dart gun that allows friendly engineers to lock their missile launchers on to enemy vehicles... Or other enemy players. Because the dart gun is so accurate, it makes it an effective way of dealing with snipers. The fact that the Tracer Dart would appear as a giant flashing light in the Sniper's screen would also make him well aware of his inevitable fate.

Roboteching / int_247422c7	comment	The Honor Harrington novels portray the anti-ship missiles as having to make various last-second maneuvering to counter their targets' attempt at a High-Speed Missile Dodge (usually involving a ship either pitching or rolling to interpose their impenetrable wedge), though the descriptions of this gradually disappear from the narrative over the course of the series. Later books introduce multi-stage missiles and off-bore firing capacity, allowing both broadsides to be delivered to a target without fancy maneuvers to bring them directly to bear. Later Apollo Technology is designed with very long range control allowing the missiles to go ballistic before engaging the third drive allowing Roboteching over several light minutes. However, there is no "vertical" launch system for missiles because there is not enough clearance to activate the missile drive before it crashes into the ship's own wedge.

It's actually necessary in the second generation, as gunships will try to shoot your missiles down, and they will succeed if you aim them in a straight line. This, interestingly, is an Ascended Glitch: the gunships are programmed to attack the most dangerous target in sight, which is usually the player, but the AI is good enough to register the rockets as more dangerous once they're close enough.

Roboteching / int_3717ea4a	comment	Occurs pretty frequently in the DC Animated Universe. In both Justice League and Superman: The Animated Series, Darkseid shows off his zig-zagging Omega Beams mentioned in the comics section. In the Superman series, he uses this to pull quite a Player Punch moment, as before Darkseid is forced to leave he lets out a final blast that heads towards Superman (who we had seen it would merely hurt, not kill), then it zig-zags right around him, keeps going, and disintegrates "Terrible" Turpin. Of course, Batman being the goddamn Batman that he is, he manages to dodge them. Darkseid is really impressed. To drive home that point, Batman has to do a lot of evasive maneuvering and a blind jump to evade it. And then he still needs to let a Mook take the hit. And he's so close to the impact that he's blown into a pile of rubble. Still Darkseid gives Batman props.

Roboteching / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: When Piccolo was still an antagonist in the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budokai, when he fires a powerful Ki Manipulation at Goku, leaving him to run and fly around the arena. Goku, however runs towards him, and Flash Steps out of the way, severely injuring Piccolo. Though, this is the first time Goku learned that it wasn't much of an inconvenience for Piccolo... Goku was able to control where his Kamehameha was going both against Demon King Piccolo (the original Piccolo) and Raditz. Yamcha's So Ki Dan (Spirit Ball in the English dub) which he could continuously redirect at its target. In Dragon Ball Z, Piccolo becomes irritated at Android 17's ability to dodge his attacks, and develops the Hellzone Grenade, which fires a swarm of small energy blasts at seemingly random angles. They hover in a rough sphere around the target, at which point Piccolo exclaims "Try dodging this," and it goes boom. Predictably enough, in the various Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi games the attack is perfectly dodgeable as long as you time it right, but not in the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai games (entirely different set of games, believe it or not). In those, you can only dodge the initial combo that triggers the cutscene-based attack. The only way Piccolo can screw it up then is if he fails the quicktime event, and even then, it only results in fewer grenades, not a dodge.

Roboteching / int_3d22c68b	comment	In Gundam ZZ, the Psyco Gundam Mark II is supposed to do something similar with its beam weapons. It releases "mirrors" which are used to redirect the beam weapons around obstacles and from angles which regular pilots wouldn't expect. Perhaps the first straightforward example of this for beam weapons goes to the Forbidden Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED which featured the deadly ability to curve its beam cannon shots using its Mirage Colloid technology to bend the particles around the attack. On the flip side, it did the same thing to incoming beam attacks, bending them away from it so they couldn't hit. The same system appears again in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, as part of the Shamblo. Here, as well as using it to confuse the opponent, it was also used to reflect incoming beam attacks back at the attacker. This was touched on again in Gundam 00, where Louise Halevy's Regnant is shown to be extremely dangerous due to the fact that that the shots from its main beam cannon were able to change their paths multiple times. From the same series, the Fangs: basically funnels with beam sabers built into them, designed to slice their target to pieces in close combat. It takes Soma Peries and a Bigger Stick mobile suit's inhuman reaction speed to even hit them. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE continues it with SID's beam weapons, which robotech all over the place. Justified in that SID is using Lost Technology that is far more advanced than what anyone else has.

Roboteching / int_49aa2aa4	comment	Some missiles on ground attack planes in the Ace Combat series do an interesting variation of this; They fly straight out from the aircraft normally, but instead of proceeding directly to their target they will instead track towards it while maintaining altitude....and then diving down on the target from above. This can be helpful, such as in the case of shooting a target surrounded by walls, or a hindrance if trying to hit something underneath overhanging cover, such as an overpass. This is the key ability of Quick Maneuver Air-to-Air Missiles. Their ability to turn in the air makes them far better than standard missiles at tracking and staying with targets. Some cruise missiles will do this to avoid your attacks, leading you on a rather spinny chase. The CFA-44 Nosferatu's All Direction Multi-Purpose Missiles play this trope completely straight, launching out like countermeasure flares before suddenly turning towards whatever it is locked on to and closing in for the kill.

Roboteching / int_49ad83ee	comment	Hit detection for non-ballistic long-range attacks in World of Warcraft is done upon firing. If the target moves, the projectile will track the target until it hits, even ignoring obstacles. In earlier patches, this also applied to beam-type spells like the Warlock's Drain Life or the mage's Arcane Missiles. As long as the magic-user could start casting the spell, it would continue to hit the target, no matter how far the target moved. Fun fact: a player on an upgraded flying mount (which allows one to travel at about 4x normal speed and... well, fly) is faster than most spell "missiles". It's possible to actually string missiles along behind you if you fly far enough. You'll take damage from the spell pretty soon even if it doesn't catch you, but the visual effect will keep following.

Roboteching / int_4a6ef2c5	comment	In Space Battleship Yamato, Gamilus uses mirror satellites to direct their reflex cannon at the Yamato even when it is on the other side of a planet from their base. Fridge Logic asks, if they have something that Frickin' Laser Beams just bounce right off of, why not use it for shields? Eventually the good guys do exactly this to defend against the Desler Cannon. It's a pretty awesome Deus ex Machina, but it doesn't explain why the Gamilusians didn't think of it first. Of course, any surface that can reflect combat lasers is scientifically wrong. Only partially focused beams would be reflected easily (which is how mirror satellites would work); fully focused beams used to cause actual damage would roast any mirror in microseconds. In Yamato 2199, the Reflex Satellites are a force field based satellites - same effect, but no mirror.

The missiles didn't corner especially well, meaning that you couldn't just spam it indoors. More specifically, the first game had the Blaster Launcher while the second had the similar "Disruptor Pulse Torpedo". X-Com Interceptor had a missile with vector thrusters.

Beware that they don't crash into other ships before they can start turning if your formation's too tight, though. Planetary defense missiles take it further: they not only robotech after launching from the poles of the planet, but if their target is destroyed, they glide for a bit, crisscrossing where the last target was if they were close enough, and robotech to the next target. Against a fleet of weak destroyers, a planetary defense missile may do this several times before hitting something.

To be more specific, his Noble Phantasm, Gae Bolg, reverses cause and effect: the opponent's heart is pierced, and then the lance strikes. Reality literally rewrites itself so that no matter what, the lance will hit. It is impossible to dodge, although having an insane amount of luck may mean that it "only" impales you and misses your heart, rather than piercing the heart directly.

Units with a Markerlight can designate a target, allowing a nearby Skyray to shoot it even without line of sight. Several other factions have their own analogues, like the Imperial Hunter-Seeker missiles or Ork Grot Bomms. That latter is particularly notable since it is actually piloted by a Grot, each one is a volunteer that the Ork meks conveniently forget to tell, or just won't bother informing, that it's a one way trip.

For example, red lasers fires twin, interlocking sine waves of red and blue energy, blue lasers bounce around the environment, and yellow lasers Wall Crawl the floor and ceiling. Later installments include powerups that include green lasers which change direction 45 degrees to hit enemy ships, and grey lasers that act like shotgun shells. By R-Type Final, every one of the 101 ships have some physics-defying effect that comes from a so-called "laser", although this may have something to do with filtering the light through a colored crystal and a baby Eldritch Abomination. One of the ships in R-Type Final has a slow-moving charge shot that can be steered with the right analog stick. You have to reconfigure your entire control setup to be able to use this without losing all self-defense by taking your thumbs away from the face buttons. Other ships have wave cannons that chase the closest enemy ship. Battleship broadside guns in R-Type Command / Tactics fire in an "X" pattern, then all four shots bend 90Â° to hit their intended target.

They hover in a rough sphere around the target, at which point Piccolo exclaims "Try dodging this," and it goes boom. Predictably enough, in the various Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi games the attack is perfectly dodgeable as long as you time it right, but not in the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai games (entirely different set of games, believe it or not). In those, you can only dodge the initial combo that triggers the cutscene-based attack. The only way Piccolo can screw it up then is if he fails the quicktime event, and even then, it only results in fewer grenades, not a dodge.
