Most jetpacks, rocket boots, and spaceships give off impressive plumes of fiery exhaust when they're moving. For the most part, this exhaust is just there to show that something's happening. But the exhaust of a rocket can also double as a short-ranged weapon, especially during a getaway. Characters with jet boots can perform really effective Goomba Stomps, while starship pilots can cause enormous damage with their drive flames. Also known as the Kzinti Lesson: the more efficient a reaction drive is, the better a weapon it makes. An inversion of the Law of Inverse Recoil, since the recoil in these cases is intentional. Also an inversion of Recoil Boost, which is an exhaustized weapon. A subtrope of Superweapon Surprise. Fartillery is effectively the biological variant of this. See also Backpack Cannon. For another way you can weaponize your engines, see Ramming Always Works. If the opposite end of the engine is at issue, see Turbine Blender. Contrast Banana in the Tailpipe. Compare with Jettison Jetpack Attack. |

One ability that players can use in Star Trek Online is called Eject Warp Plasma, which vents plasma from the ship's warp drive through special exhausts, creating a massive cloud behind the ship as it travels. Any hostile ship unfortunate to cross paths with this cloud will suffer a massive speed and maneuverability reduction, take plasma Damage Over Time direct to their hull, and revealed if they were using a cloaking device. As the damage ignores the standard-issue Deflector Shields it's highly effective against ships that rely on shields over hull for defense, and predictably it'll evaporate any smaller objects like mines or fighters. The effect can be further weaponized with the Vent Metreon-Laced Plasma trait, which reduces the trail duration but causes it to progressively explode behind the vessel, dealing extra damage in a small area of effect. Both tricks are based off maneuvers used in the various TV series and their movie spinoffs. | |

Space RTS Homeworld has an example of this trope in its Bomber strike craft. The game manual quips that the player race scientists realized that the most powerful directed energy system of the strike craft was their own fusion drive system. Hence they made a strike craft that can divert part of its drive thrust into very powerful plasma bombs. | |

Rocketship Voyager. In Chapter V, a Burial in Space is done by cremating the bodies in the torchship's exhaust flame. And in Chapter XII, Voyager turns on their drive while inside another vessel, punching a hole straight through the vulnerable interior hull.

The Expanse: When the titanic generation ship Nauvoo begins its first flight, after it lit the engine you can see how the construction structures of the drydock it was being constructed in begins to melt despite being a fair distance from the ship itself, demonstrating that creators had thought out implications of a massive ship having powerful engines. Avoiding this with the Saturn V and later the Space Shuttle is why NASA's launch structures have massive water sprayers built into them. The Shuttle saw the addition of more water sprayers to the launch pad to deaden reflected sound waves that could damage the shuttle. As in the book, a protomolecule creature is killed this way after the crew tricks into keaping off the hull. In season 6, an unarmed Belter ship resorts to "turn and burn" maneuvers to attack the Rocinante, which is attempting to capture the vessel. Were the Rocinante not an armored warship, it might have worked. |

Honor Harrington: Not exactly exhaust, per se, but the gravity-control impeller wedge is the usual spaceship propulsion... which does Really Bad Things to any matter that intersects the field. Normally, this is safetied to a tee; when it isn't, as in when Harkness turns on the impeller drive of one of Tepes' pinnaces in the hanger ...uh ...just Bad Things, OK? In book 1, On Basilisk Station, Honor cripples a Havenite courier ship that was ready to summon the invasion fleet by sideswiping it with HMS Fearless' impeller wedge. This completely blows out the Peeps' impeller nodes, leaving them dead in the water. This is how countermissiles work too. They don't have warheads; they just hit the impeller wedge of enemy missiles with their own wedge, destroying both with the feedback on their drives. The trope is also effectively Played With given that these wedges with their horrifying capacity for destruction are primarily used as shields when they aren't used for propulsion, given that they effectively cover the ship completely from the top and bottom. This becomes very important in Mission of Honor when a group of ships have to use their wedges to try and protect the planets below from falling debris during an attack. They only partially succeed. And the planets were Manticore and Sphinx. |

Of all games, Einhänder has one for the player character. By changing speed, your craft gives out a burst of exhaust, which along with the manipulator arm may be the deadliest weapons in the game. Because of this, it's possible to beat a level without firing a shot. Elsewhere in the game, the booster rockets for the satellite can kill you if you fly behind them. The Star Soldier series uses this variant as well. At times, a ring-shaped enemy ship will enclose you, and the fastest way to dispatch it is to mash the "speed change" button while firing. |

Robo-Ky from Guilty Gear has a heat gauge, and a good deal of his moves make it climb. If he overheats he explodes and damages himself and gives his opponent an opening. To prevent this, one of what would be his normal moves (his forward heavy slash) makes him vent steam, which he must do regularly to keep the heat under control. Of course, the steam itself is more potent the more heat he builds up first, and venting when he's seconds away from overheating creates a gigantic plume that does respectable damage and sets his opponent on fire. | |

Kirby: The Jet ability has this when it's charging power, as well as when Kirby is attacking, at least in Kirby Super Star. In the DS remake, it also causes damage while using it to hover, which is a surprisingly effective method of disposing of bosses and enemies alike at times. Kirby Super Star: In Revenge of Meta Knight, crew of the Halberd try to fry Kirby with its exhaust as it takes off. It knocks him back, but he's otherwise unharmed. |

The first season finale of The 100 had the titular group use the thrusters of their crashed Drop Ship as a last-chance attack to fend off a full-blown Grounder attack. Not only did the deluge of flames completely incinerated the rest of the camp, but also killed three hundred Grounders... which escalated things for a while because some of the Grounder leaders insisted that such a massacre was not something that could be taken lying down. | |

Discworld swamp dragons breathe fire as a weapon. But one has a digestive system that's organized so that he can flame backward, as it were, and he essentially turns himself into a rocket. It's implied the swamp dragons as a species have weaponized their exhaust by evolutionary means, and it was originally never intended to come out the mouth, since their small and weak wings aren't very effective as lifting surfaces but do make rather good ailerons. | |

In Sleeping with the Girls, in the second Tenchi arc, the SI remembers, almost too late, that standing near a spaceship about to take off is a bad idea. Cue an Oh, Crap! moment, followed by him running away while screaming "KZINTI LESSON! KZINTI LESSON!" He almost makes it, and the backwash of the ship's takeoff merely knocks him off of his feet. Not the straightest example of the trope, but shows an understanding of it. | |

James Bond In the Cold Open of Moonraker, a Space Shuttle is stolen in mid-air and its thrusters destroy the carrier aircraft. Later in the movie, the Big Bad tries to dispose of Bond and the Bond Girl by placing them in the exhaust chamber beneath another Shuttle that is about to take off. In Tomorrow Never Dies, Bond traps the Stamper's foot on the missile gantry so he gets caught in the backblast as the missile launches. Casino Royale (2006) features an accidental version during the airport chase scene. Miami Police Department squad cars are chasing a fuel truck stolen by a terrorist, and chase it across a runway just as a 747 is coming in. The 747 pulls up at the last moment and misses the fuel truck, but its engine backwash blows one of the police cars about a hundred feet through the air. |

Iron Man's first set of stealth armor was so packed with scanners and such that it had no active weaponry. Thus when faced with attack drones, he had to dig his fingers into the ground and blast with his jetboots. The second time he used his stealth armor, Iron Man was fighting the Crimson Dynamo (Dmitri Bhukarin) and Titanium Man (the Gremlin) in Siberia during the Armor Wars storyline. Although the suit was upgraded to now permit a limited number of repulsor shots, he used them up in the battle and only succeeded in destroying the Dynamo's armor, and Titanium Man caught the weaponless Iron Man in a bear hug. Attempting to escape, Iron Man's jetboots were again weaponized, albeit unintentionally, when at full blast they set the Titanium Man's armor on fire, killing the Gremlin, much to Tony's dismay. His hand repulsors were initially designed as maneuvering/stabilizing thrusters, the weapon applications were a lucky coincidence. Played for Laughs in the movie, where he tries to convince Pepper he's given up on making weapons to concentrate on peaceful applications of his technology... only to break something with a repulsor misfire a few seconds later. At one point◊ his jet boots held back The Sentry, for a few seconds anyway. |

The ship in Ringworld is named "Lying Bastard", or simply "the Liar", and half the reason is because it's completely unarmed... except for all the things that can be used as weapons. Louis Wu at one point thinks to himself that nearly every one of their tools can be used as a weapon, but there's no piece of equipment that Nessus can't point to and say "That is not a weapon. I brought it for (perfectly legitimate non-weapon use)." Like the digging tool, which also happens to be a dandy disintegrator ray. Or the high-powered and focusable flashlight-lasers. Or, most significantly, the presence of plasma thrusters for maneuvering purposes. | |

In Hullo Russia, Goodbye England, Silk's crew does this to a Russian spy "trawler" in the Atlantic near Scotland which is eavesdropping on their comms. While they are strictly forbidden from sinking it, they fly over it at mast-top height then stand their Vulcan jet bomber plane on its tail to give it the benefit of the back-blast from the engines. The ship stays afloat, just about, but its sensitive and expensive electronic systems are shot to pieces. | |

Mobile Suit Victory Gundam gives us the Victory 2 Gundam, which carries a miniaturized Minovsky Craft System (e.g., the engines used in spaceships) known as the Minovsky Drive System. Not only does this allow it to float in mid-air (unlike other mobile suits, which have to exert constant thrust to stay aloft), but the exhaust vents in the back expel charged Minovsky particles, the V2's "Wings of Light," which can expand up to one kilometer long. Fun fact: The Wings of Light have the same properties as beam sabers and beam shields. | |

In X: Rebirth, the massive engines on capital ships deal damage to anything nearby when they are firing, doubly so when they kick in their afterburners for intra-system travel. However, the damaging range is low enough that it is extremely rare for it to damage anything other than the player's ship which is trying to blow up said engine. Ore refineries on space stations vent away excess heat when operating, and civilian craft attempting to pass another craft on the Futuristic Superhighway lanes near stations may unwittingly pass through it and explode. | |

Flamers deal very little actual damage, but they heat up anything they hit, allowing you to cripple an enemy battlemechs combat ability or force them into an emergency shutdown.

In Rocket Age every rocket ship has rules that let the pilot use the radium fueled exhaust as an effective weapon. This tactic is also favoured by the rocket boarding gangs of New York. | |

The X-Wing: Rogue Squadron novel The Krytos Trap demonstrates that capital ship exhaust can also be used to devastating effect against buildings, as the Super Star Destroyer Lusankya demonstrated when lifting off from Coruscant and it's thrusters vaporized a large section of cityscape in the process, killing a uncounted number of people in the process.note The novel states that the deaths were estimated to be in the millions, with Wedge believing that the ship with 250,000 crew members likely killed at least 10 times that many lifting off. | |

Mass Effect has a codex entry noting that a dreadnought's exhaust can melt through practically anything (we never see it used, though). Any ship's thrusters can melt armor "like wax under a blowtorch". The Normandy generates Mass Effect fields that it "falls" into, in order to mask its emissions when in stealth mode. Just imagine what multiple, sufficiently powerful directed Mass Effect fields could do under the right circumstances... oh, wait, that's suggested here, albeit in the form of shields rather than engines. Still! In the Arrival DLC, Shepard and Dr. Kenson escape from the Batarian prison, some guards arrive a bit late to stop them... and find themselves on the wrong end of their escape shuttle. |

Space Engineers' thrusters can make a decent Improvised Weapon against ships as the exhaust will burn through light armor, though the range at which they deal damage is short enough to essentially make them melee weapons. If you get stuck after ramming a ship, thrusters are an excellent way to unjam it, as strafing thrusters can burn away the bits and pieces of the torn-up enemy ship stuck on you. Amusingly, thruster damage wasn't initially in the game, so players using fanciful ships designs with concealed thrusters were reporting their ships literally slicing themselves in half when it was added to the game. | |

Thanks to the robust dynamic fire engine in the Far Cry games, you can use rocket launchers as makeshift flame-throwers to kill enemies who are trying to ambush you with the backblast if you don't want to blow yourself up with the warhead by shooting them directly. Of course, it's entirely possible to burn yourself to death by firing while crouched, or against a wall. | |

Gundam: In Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, Kou gives Gato a face-full of his Gundam's maneuvering thrusters when locked in close combat. This doesn't actually damage Gato's Gundam, but it does blind and distract him. Fourteen years later in-universe, Marida Cruz of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn does the same against an unusually skilled Stark Jegan, disorienting it long enough for her to promptly follow up with a beam saber to the cockpit. The leader of La Résistance is killed in Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team when a Zaku fires its thrusters in an attempt to escape an ambush. The backwash takes out his entire house, too. And this was entirely by accident and happened mostly because a resistance member in that house fired an anti-tank rocket at it. Mobile Suit Victory Gundam gives us the Victory 2 Gundam, which carries a miniaturized Minovsky Craft System (e.g., the engines used in spaceships) known as the Minovsky Drive System. Not only does this allow it to float in mid-air (unlike other mobile suits, which have to exert constant thrust to stay aloft), but the exhaust vents in the back expel charged Minovsky particles, the V2's "Wings of Light," which can expand up to one kilometer long. Fun fact: The Wings of Light have the same properties as beam sabers and beam shields. In Mobile Suit Gundam, one luckless Zaku was caught behind White Base as she was taking off and got vaporized by the engines. At the end of the Guyana Highlands arc of Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Domon knocks over Master Asia's Master Gundam and then blowtorches it away as he takes off in Burning/God Gundam. |

BattleTech: The massive Dropships are capable of razing anything anywhere nearby in a nuclear hellstorm of fusion reactor exhaust when they begin to lift off the ground to head to orbit. Being too close to a dropship that's taking off or landing is automatically fatal to ground units. BattleMech flamers are usually powered by exhaust from the mech's fusion reactor (contrary to some of the novels, neither flamers nor Jump Jets actually pull plasma straight from the reactor, which is a near-vacuum. Instead, they run air through vents that allow waste-heat from the reactor to superheat it). Vehicles and industrial mechs with combustion engines engines make do with napalm. |

The Inkjet in Splatoon 2 is equipped with a long-range weapon, and that is your intended way to fight. However, the ink being propelled downwards to keep the wielder afloat can still damage opponents who get caught under it; should an opponent be splatted this way, they will be informed that they were "Splatted by Inkjet exhaust!" — not merely "Splatted by Inkjet!" — making it one of a few handful of weapons to have two possible "Splatted by" messages for the victim. | |

This is a surprisingly effective way to kill someone if your clones lack better weaponry (and sometimes even when they do due to the wonky physics making them ineffective) in Cortex Command. It's also quite effective at killing enemy dropships when piloting a dropship yourself. Being that the ships are unarmed and with very weakly armored engines, the best course of action is to position your ship so one of its engines is exhausting on top of one of the engines of the enemy dropship, and hit the throttle. One mod, now lost to time, featured an item which was effectively a hand-carried turbojet engine. 'Firing' it caused an exhaust plume about three times as long an average drone's height to spontaneously manifest; this reliably shredded anything in front of it for the few milliseconds they were there, and invariably sent the user moving in the opposite direction hard enough to occasionally shear off limbs. Firing downward caused the user to rise vertically. Firing upward caused a crater. |

Final Fantasy Final Fantasy VII The Motor Ball boss is a six-wheeled Transforming Mecha that uses an attack called Twin Burner where it shoots fire from its exhaust ports while in its "Flamethrower" form. Final Fantasy XIII has Sazh's Eidolon, Brynhildr, do this in Gestalt Mode with her Múspell Flame. Since her elemental affinity is fire, it's more that appropriate. This was the original purpose of Machinist's "Cooldown" ability, which would decrease the heat building up in the Gauss Barrel, and dealt higher damage if you had some heat built up beforehand. With the third expansion it was later reworked into "Heat Blast", which can only be used while your gun is overheated. |

The Force Awakens: Kylo Ren's lightsaber was crudely made based on an ancient, more primitive design, and its kyber crystal is cracked. Thus, it requires crossguard-like stabilizer vents to redirect excess power from its crystal. The twin beams coming from the vents are just as dangerous as the main blade, which he proves in his duel with Finn when, as their swords are locked, he presses one of the beams into Finn's shoulder. As a side effect, he can't do a lot of the fancy twirling that other lightsaber users do without hitting himself with the beams, and thus he wields his lightsaber like a claymore, relying on hard, smashing attacks (which also fits the state of barely-contained rage he shows in his fights). | |

Transformers: Animated: Prowl uses his jetpack to burn a Space Barnacle monster in "Nature Calls". And if the series had continued, it looks like Decepticon Oil Slick uses this as well. Only instead of the propulsion force, he releases chemical weapons through his exhaust. |

In Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages, ships travel the universe with an Anchor drive. This drive "anchors" the ship in space, allowing the universe to spin past it. The universe spins once every 52 hours, and the danger of colliding with something at a very large exponent of light speed is so real, ships can only do this on certain "rings" in the universe, which are completely clean of matter. At the ship level, there are several ship perks that weaponize heat buildup. Venting plasma in a damaging trail, launching an explosive heatsink canister, rerouting some of the exhaust to boost weapon performance, and of course, the mother of all weapons. The Anchor Cannon, which stops the motion of the projectile relative to the universe, so the universe collides with it. It only works if the target is up-spin, but even a single atom can vaporize an entire battlefield! | |

A frequent occurrence in the Great Ship universe: Pamir was killed when a pissed off crewman on his bomb drive liner activated the drive while Pamir was repairing the pusher plate. He got better, though In Aeon's Child, a starship's fusion rocket is disassembled, brought inside the Great Ship, and reassembled to be used as a last-ditch weapon to purge a chamber of a hostile Gaian entity. Inadvertently used in Hatch, where a massive starship launching from beneath the Meat Moss coating the Great Ship forces a scavenger to blast away all his fuel and jettison his cargo in an attempt to escape to save himself from being immolated by the fusion exhaust. |

Doctor Who In "The Time Warrior", Linx blows up Irongron's entire castle when his tiny one-man spacecraft takes off. He does make a token effort to warn Irongron to move his men elsewhere, but quickly loses patience with his 'primitive' ally when Irongron fails to understand the urgency. So it falls to the Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith to evacuate everyone instead. In "The Ark In Space", Vira takes out a pair of Wirrn by briefly turning on the shuttle craft's engines. And when the shuttle blasts off for real with the full Wirrn swarm aboard, Rogin is caught and killed. The Villain of the Week tries this in "Warriors Gate" and destroys himself and his entire ship. |

Mythbusters had a jumbo jet's engines overturn a taxi, a schoolbus, and a smaller aircraft. They also set their own shop on fire testing a rocket engine indoors. Don’t Try This at Home. Top Gear did the same stunt at one point, using a saloon car and then a Citroen 2CV. During the third try at the JATO Rocket Car, the MBs did a nice job of chewing up their ramp with the rocket exhaust. |

Irem loves this trope.

In the Star Carrier series, Confederation fighters fly mainly with a singularity drive, generating a high mass zone ahead of the ship to pull them forward and accelerate them to about 99% of the speed of light. The drive also has the effect of sucking in any dust or debris ahead of it, which when released can do bad things to anything it hits. Loose drive singularities themselves (usually from the ship having been destroyed while the drive was turned on, although it was done intentionally once in the third book) are also seen punching holes straight through ships. | |

During the obligatory Traintop Battle, the thruster sends an unlucky Tusken flying when the droid conductor puts it to full blast, and gets a Pyke not long after when the conductor does it a second time. When Boba is stealing back his spaceship Slave I from Bib Fortuna's palace, he guns the engines as much as he can while confined in the hangar to bowl over a bunch of attacking guards. |

GURPS: Space lists the offensive potential of several engines. Because GURPS assumes that most engines will not have particularly coherent exhaust streams they're relatively weak compared to normal armaments. The nuclear jetpack blasts superheated radioactive exhaust at everyone below it. Why anyone would wear such a thing is a different issue. A BBEG using it to escape the heroes? |

Star Wars Legends: Unintentionally used by a number of "hot-shot" pilots throughout the X-Wing Series, generally resulting in little scars on the hangar floor. Corran Horn also once used an airspeeder's exhaust to help vent an area of toxic gas. The EU also has it that, while the exhaust of capital ships doesn't pose much of a threat to like-sized ships, it can fry unwary fighters. The X-Wing: Rogue Squadron novel The Krytos Trap demonstrates that capital ship exhaust can also be used to devastating effect against buildings, as the Super Star Destroyer Lusankya demonstrated when lifting off from Coruscant and it's thrusters vaporized a large section of cityscape in the process, killing a uncounted number of people in the process.note The novel states that the deaths were estimated to be in the millions, with Wedge believing that the ship with 250,000 crew members likely killed at least 10 times that many lifting off. At one point in the Yuuzhan Vong/New Jedi Order series, Vong bioweapons are eating through a capital ship's hull. The fighter pilots then use their exhausts to burn them off without blasting at the ship. The star system of Corellia is actually artificially created with the planets all being giant spaceships with giant repulsors/engines that have been used as weapons. Even more dangerous is Centrepoint Station, which brought the planets into the system in the first place using a "hyperspace repulsor" engine, and can make stars go supernova from light-years away via the same process. It's also indicated (though never demonstrated) that if somebody had Centerpoint and all five planetary repulsors under their control, they could network them together and draw power from the star itself, which would allow for such tricks as cutting off all access to hyperspace in the entire galaxy, as well as simpler things like increasing the range of the supernova generating beam. Though The Empire's best known civilian massacre was the destruction of Alderaan, the EU documents multiple lesser massacres. In one instance, an Imperial Navy captain turned his cruiser's stern to a mass demonstration and fired his engines, incinerating the protestors. The worse part? It had actually happened under the Republic, and the perpetrator's name was Wilhuff Tarkin. Yes, that Tarkin. According to Han, hiding a ship behind an asteroid and superheating it with its exhaust to the point of combustion is a good smuggler's trick for destroying pursuers. After his explanation the Errant Venture demonstrates, destroying an entire asteroid field's worth of space rock as well as a harrassing enemy squadron. Han comments that, "It works pretty well with a Star Destroyer." One technique that can be used in an asteroid field, called the "Solo Slide", involves shutting down the main engines and using the ship's repulsorlifts on the asteroids. This is energy-efficient, keeps the asteroids from hitting you, and can be used as a very effective weapon. |

In Palladium's Rifts sourcebook "Mechanoids", Overlords and Oracles (evil, building sized robots with a bend for human extermination) are packed full of weapons, but still like the elegant process of flying a few meters over unprotected humans. Crispy bacon. | |

The Thraddash in Star Control II have afterburners on their ships which accelerate the ship and leave a fiery trail in their wake. This tends to deal more damage to enemy ships than the supposed main weapon. | |

The Murderbot Diaries. In the first novel the villains have sabotaged the rocket that launches a distress beacon, but Murderbot convinces them the others plan to set off the rocket manually. The villains rush out there to stop them, only to discover they've been tricked, but just as they open fire on Murderbot the rocket activates, so Murderbot has to quickly grab their hostage and jump off the nearest cliff. | |

Firefly: In the pilot, Wash uses Serenity's exhaust flame to ignite a planet's atmosphere as a way to disable/distract a Reaver ship after performing a "Crazy Ivan". Mal also intended to use the exhaust (both the flames and more importantly the physical pressure) against Burgess' troops in "Heart of Gold", but that plan never got off the ground. |

In Sergey Lukyanenko's Line of Delirium, the main characters are infiltrating/storming a military orbital platform. Upon receiving a coded signal, their ship, sitting in the hangar bay, uses it's gravity engine to "push out" the hangar bay doors and then activates the plasma engines to fry the combat droids guarding it. | |

An engineer in Vexxarr pointed out that since by definition hot plasma goes in the direction exactly opposite to the ship' acceleration, this also solves a fundamental philosophical dilemma — "fight or flight". Earlier humans studied captured Bleem ship and invented "zorp" weapon by reverse-engineering its engines. |

Donald E. Westlake's Dortmunder: A low-tech version appears in Bank Shot. A gang of criminals plot to steal an entire bank that is temporarily housed in a warehouse by surreptitiously attaching wheels to it, then later pulling it away with a truck. To deal with the guards that are stationed inside the trailer/bank they attach one end of a garden hose to the truck's exhaust pipe and put the other end in the trailer's air-vent. | |

In a Babylon 5 episode, a Raider threatened to use a hijacked ship's engines to burn his way out of the station's docking bays if Sinclair tried to stop him by closing the doors. Sinclair Takes a Third Option: he lets him out, but locks down the jumpgate and orders Garibaldi to shoot out the ship's engines in his Starfury. The Raider mothership arrives first and things escalate into a full-scale Space Battle. | |

Lilo & Stitch. When Stitch boards Captain Gantu's ship to rescue Lilo, Gantu forces him off by turning his ship's thrusters so that both of them point directly at Stitch. Stitch is virtually indestructible, so he's not hurt: but the force is still enough to shove him off the ship. It's a good thing it was: he was standing directly on the glass (or similar material) container that Lilo was trapped inside, so the flames were hitting it too. If Gantu had kept that up, the container walls would have rapidly heated up, and Lilo is not fireproof. |

In Fractured, a Mass Effect/Star Wars/Borderlands crossover some kind of "space raisin" is incinerated by the engines of Revenant Phoenix. In the sequel, Origins, a Star Dreadnaught does this to another Star Dreadnaught that's shooting the first ship's engines. Given that the ship using its engines as a defense stretches thirty-five kilometers the Kzinti Lesson is on full display. An engine array that can move quadrillions of tons of mass is going to be good at destroying anything in its path (though they did turn the engines' safety/damper off first). For once, there is OSHA compliance! | |
