** General Ironwood normally uses a pair of elegant, if simple and straightforward, revolvers called Due Process. After his FaceHeelTurn he upgrades them with a large extension that amplifies their power into a massive laser as a show of power as his AppealToForce mindset is continually challenged. It makes his weapon large and bulky enough to be used as a makeshift club.
** Harriett Bree is impatient and much more willing to use force when compared to her compatriots in Atlas. Her weapon Fast Knuckles is a large, blocky piece of equipment with exposed machinery. It's more noticeable because most Atlas tech is smooth and elegant.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII: Protagonist Cloud uses a massive Buster sword as his signature weapon. As most prior main characters used elegant straight swords and shields it gives the impression that he is much more confrontational than prior characters but still very heroic. Barret uses a minigun grafted to his severed arm, a very clear message that he uses violence instead of letting old wounds heal.

** The exuberant and emotional Yang has Ember Celica, a pair of power fist shot-gauntlets that augment her hand to hand techniques and raw power fighting style. In contrast to the sniper rifle, revolver and handgun ammunition of her teammates, Yang reloads with a string of shotgun shells. After volume 3 Yang had to replace her right arm with a cybernetic arm that had similar effects and in 7 upgrades it with a bulkier appearance and mine rounds.
** Nora has an enormous hammer/grenade launcher to drive home her BoisterousBruiser ways. It can open up the chamber to fire all her rounds at once in a giant heart formation for even more destruction.
