History Main / WeaponizedCar

* The Wreckers from "{{Film/TransformersDarkoftheMoon}}"

* ''{{Interstate 76}}'' is another VideoGame example.

* Steve Jackson Games: ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_Wars Car Wars]]'' and ''{{GURPS}} Autoduel''.

* Again not technically weaponized, but the car in the Australian heist comedy ''{{Malcolm}}'' designed by the savant of the same name had very cool features built into it such as the ability to split in half.

* '''HillibillyArmor:''' Makeshift armour like steel plates, sand bags, railroad track or caterpillar track idlers strapped, bolted or welded to protect the engine and crew.

* '''[[CoolCar Sports Car]]:''' Nine times out of ten, the WeaponizedCar is gonna be a pretty slick ride. {{Weaponized Car}}s that take the form of trucks and more heavy-duty vehicles usually go to enemies and/or supporting characters.

* The ''{{Mythbusters}}'' proved "hood mounted machinegun" are reasonably accurate with practice, even with a fixed aim, and became extremely deadly with movable axises and an aiming HUD.

* The Wreckers from "[[{{Film/TransformersDarkoftheMoon}}]]"

* Many JamesBond cars since ''{{Goldfinger}}'' are outfitted this way to some extent; most have at least the missiles and machine guns. In the Brosnan movies, Q will barely mention the weapons, focusing more on the car's less obvious functions, because at this point neither Bond nor the viewers are going to be particularly impressed by the car's ability to shoot missiles.
** Culminating in the shootout between two weaponized cars in ''DieAnotherDay''.
* The recent movie ''DeathRace'' and the 1978 film it was adapted from both run on this trope.

* The eponymous supertruck from ''{{US-1}}'', as reviewed by [[WebOriginal/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]. Oddly enough they spend lots of time describing the new toys the truck has, only for the hero to simply run the villain off the road. (John Henry in disguise?)

** Culminating in the shootout between two weaponized cars in ''DieAnotherDay''.

** Culminating in the shootout between two gadget-cars in ''DieAnotherDay''. Definitely a CrowningMomentOfAwesome (though some would argue the Only Moment of Awesome) in the movie.

* Many JamesBond car are outfitted this way to some extent; most have at least the missiles and machine guns. In the Brosnan movies, Q will barely mention the weapons, focusing more on the car's less obvious functions, because at this point neither Bond nor the viewers are going to be particularly impressed by the car's ability to shoot missiles.

* Every JamesBond car ever is outfitted this way to some extent; most have at least the missiles and machine guns. in the more recent movies, Q will barely mention the weapons, focusing more on the car's less obvious functions, because at this point neither Bond nor the viewers are going to be particularly impressed by the car's ability to shoot missiles.

* The 2001 [[ScrapheapChallenge Scrapheap Challenge]] title match was [[BeyondTheImpossible full-size radio-controlled jousting cars]].

[[AC:{{Film}}]]

* Most of the espionage characters in ''{{Cars 2}}'' feature missiles, rockets, machine guns, and targeting systems hidden all along their bodies, most notably Finn [=McMissile,=] Holly Shiftwell, Torque Redline, and [[spoiler:Tow Mater.]]

* The [[TeamAmericaWorldPolice Team America]] Hummer has various hidden weaponry like missiles and machine guns appear when it's "Valmorphanized".
* The MadMax franchise (and Mad Max II aka The Road Warrior especially) has a lot of vehicles that may or may not qualify for this trope depending on your point of view. The post apocolyptic setting means that there isn't anything high tech, but that doesn't stop them wreaking havoc using vehicles.

* The {{Mythbusters}} proved "hood mounted machinegun" are reasonably accurate with practice, even with a fixed aim, and became extremely deadly with movable axises and an aiming HUD.

** Ben's car gets a dose of this in WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien
* Both [[PrivateMilitaryContractors Major Bludd's]] car and the stolen Cobra truck in GIJoeRenegades.

* A deleted scene in ''JohnnyEnglishReborn'' has English testing the gadgets on his [=MI7=] Rolls Royce, accidentally blowing up a carload of mooks who, unknown to English due to the cars' bullet/soundproofing exterior, are shooting at him.

* The Mach 5 from ''SpeedRacer'' is armed to the teeth. The saws were always used to cut down obstacles, though.

* Roger Smith's Griffin in ''TheBigO'' has machine guns and even a missile launcher (among other features), though these are rarely seen used.

* '''[[StuffBlowingUp Missiles]]:''' Normally mounted on the roof, these tend to be used fairly sparingly, since their supply is limited. They seem to see more use clearing obstacles than taking out enemies.
