Tripod Terror	comment	The second most iconic of alien vehicles after the Flying Saucer, Rule of Three comes into play for the Alien Invasion, when our new overlords bring out their army of Three-Legged Humongous Mecha. This may also be here to induce What Measure Is a Non-Human? or earthly being, as most animals tend to have even numbers of legs. The Ur-Example is undoubtedly The War of the Worlds (1898), and its many adaptations since. Compare and contrast to Spider Tank. A Sub-Trope of Starfish Robots.

The 'terror' goes in two directions here, though - while Mobile Workers are notorious for their ability to shred infantry and break up riots, they're little more than tin-plated coffins if a mobile suit shows up. However, they're surprisingly effective for anti-personnel purpose, as shown by how Gjallarhorn dispatch the Dort protestants via a Curb-Stomp Battle.

Tripod Terror / int_6a989b15	comment	The Tripods features, well, what you might expect. (The aliens that pilot them also have three legs.) John Christopher essentially filed the serial numbers off of Wells' Martians and depicted what the world might be like if their initial invasion had been successful. He also does a fair job of justifying the impracticality of the 3-legged design; the number 3 appears to be integral to the culture of the Masters, presumably as a consequence of their biology (as well as 3 legs they also have 3 tentacles and 3 eyes), and as well as the tripodal design of their vehicles, they also incorporate triangles and pyramids into their architecture and technology at every opportunity.

These move very fast by pivoting around on one leg, using each of them in alternation, and reversing the direction of rotation from time to time.

Tripod Terror / int_90e2f673	comment	BattleTech advanced to the point where the 135 ton Ares, and its slightly smaller precursor, the 125 ton Poseidon, have been added to the game as the first two tripod mechs. Players have yet to decide if the advantages they have in firepower, armor, and their three-person cockpits make up for their extremely low speed. Beyond those two monsters, though, there are rules for constructing tripodal mechs (as well as one canon design that's a mere 75 tons, the Triskeleon). They get bonuses to stability and can easily change direction compared to standard designs, but with the added tonnage cost of the extra leg and the parts needed to control it they're a bit more limited in overall firepower than a standard bipedal mech of the same size and speed would be.

Tripod Terror / int_eaeeea9b	comment	StarCraft II: Colossi may have four legs, but they are otherwise totally in fitting with the spirit of the trope. They fry stuff at extreme long range with sweeping heat rays, and have very long stilt-legs that let them stride over any terrain with ease.
