The main mechs from that game, Orbital Frames, are extremely strong machines equipped with Anti-Proton reactors, on-board AI copilots, self-repair capability, flight systems that let them move as if they were not impeded by gravity, and the ability to grow and evolve based on the abilities of the pilot. What is more, they have the ability to distort space. The most important use of their spatial distortion technology is the Vector Trap, a small pocket of compressed space which lets an Orbital Frame carry a ridiculous amount of optional weaponry (seriously, they usually carry enough weapons to comprise about 5 to 10 times as much mass as the mech itself). Advanced Orbital Frames can use powerful Vector Traps to bend space and protect themselves from oncoming ranged weaponry, or even to move at significant fractions of the speed of light using the Zero Shift. Space-bending technology is also put to use in weapons like the Vector Cannon, which is designed to break through barriers of distorted space.The Battle Angel Alita manga has quite a few interesting applications of advanced technology, since the series' focus on cybernetic martial artists puts an interesting new spin on things. I think the term "Electromagnetic Karate" (with punches that easily break the sound barrier, and go up from there) sums up a lot of the tone of how technology works in that series. Of course, there may be too many cool gadgets in that series to even begin to list them all, with everything from high-pressure water jets being used as weapons to robotic weapons powered by an entire planet's power grid through the use of a wormhole.Of course, you can never go wrong with technology that lets a person transform thought into reality, like the Lambda Driver from the Full Metal Panic anime. Or large-scale robotic weapons powered by the fundamental power of life and evolution itself, like you see in Getter Robo or Gurren Lagaan. The latter actually has quite a few distinct weapons of its own, like missiles that alter probability itself so that it is literally impossible to not hit their target, or beam guns capable of hitting targets in the past or the future (designed to fight enemies who dodge attacks by using time travel).</blockquote>
