Cool looking stuff, but not necessarily useful

Just a topic for random stuff which actually looks cool for the sake of looking cool ( and somewhat useful sometimes ). Also, I mostly played TA, didn't get much into Supcom for lack of better computer at its time.

First: Barrel Roll! Nuff said.

Second: Missile spam, a la Macross. Simply, one attack launch lots of mini missile going into random direction and with some seeking. Lots of needless explosion, lots of smoke trail, totally awesome. Of course this might be useful as some sort of anti air AOE, or might totally be detrimental as it can reduce the readability of the game and certainly performance.

Third: Energy wings. Let's say, you have a super fast plane. Why does it have to be fully made of metal instead of shiny energy wings? Plane doesn't always need to be powered by round and yellow reactors.

Fourth: Transformable stuff, like Transformers! Doesn't need to be super detailed as in the Michael Bay movies, but things like hiding canon, changing stance when shooting for more stabilization, and stuff like that.
The Annihilator in TA took its time to deploy, but then it shots with a resounding noise, your energy bar actually decreasing from the usage even though you had enough energy streaming in. That was cool. The Krogoth was a bit like that too. Walking casually with weapon downs, taking it's time to lift his arm when under attack, and shoot. It's more efficient for a robot to have it's gun always pointed in front of him, but a walking death machine which totally doesn't care about shooting first and just point a gauss gun at you, leaving enough time to actually see the barrel and let you scream "oh ****", just look badass.

Fifth: Arcing weapons. Yes, straight line always have the shortest distance in 3D. Yes there was arcing missile, but could also be applied to laser and others bullets. This will just break the monotony of straight weapon. Also could be useful when stuff obstruct the way like wreckage, front line unit. Could arc into the air, or sideway, for a change, like a boomerang. Could even be a unit launching a mirror in the air to then shoot a laser at it and actually scatter it for AOE. A change from explosive weapon


That's all that came to mind at the moment. Anyone with other cool looking idea?

Robots get motion sickness

Its possible, if the body below you is a blackhole

If they vomit acid on their enemies after, why not?

Also another idea: +awesome. May summon a John Comes asteroid in single player, scream awesome when an asteroid crash into a planet or just pop an awesome head on screen, or some other awesome John moments.
