;Mecha:In anime, a term for mechanical powersuits or robots (often humanoid).  A popular feature of anime-styled role-playing games, such as [[Votoms]] or [[Bubblegum Crisis]], which are based on their respective anime series.  Usually large and powerful enough to wipe out most conventional combatants (even tanks) by themselves.  Also, used specifically to refer to games where mecha play a major part, such as [[BattleTech]].

:It's worth noting that, in anime, where the term comes from, "mecha" is simply short for "mechanical" and the term is used for all mechanical devices.  So, a bicycle is a "mecha" by that definition.  However, the westernized version of the term is almost universally used to describe a futuristic or otherwise non-standard vehicle which usually has a semi-humanoid form, like a giant pilotable humanoid robot.
 
  
 
;Mega-damage: Generically, enough damage to kill a human being instantly, see also [[fine red mist]] and [[chunky salsa]].  Specifically, a (dubious) trademark of Palladium Books indicating vehicle-scaled damage; because of the lack of rigorous design rules in Palladium there are such things as mega-damage personal weapons and body armor.  Most egregiously visible in [[Rifts]].
