    Well u could have heated fire scythe, plasma scythe, sonic scythe (it use sound vibration to cut objects like butter as I heard Sci-fiction), electric scythe, and the HappyVader show u that link yes they might come idea for that.

    As I read ppl said "What about mechs or vehicles with melee weapons ?" I can give u developers simple idea, for mechs its simple, if the mech is pose have the body of human then think as a body as human as it use weapons. for vehicles almost same, but without the arms or legs pretty much you have to think like animal would do example dogs use bite and vehicles will have a mouth to bite, every weapons can be used on nearly everything.

    Rocket fists.

    Fists with volatile rockets attached.


    It's Sci-Fi because the rockets actually modern feats of engineering that contain more moving parts than a level 2 sentry gun.

    Quakers.

    They are literally massive, heavy, gloves that require technology or superhuman strength to lift, but the impact is strong enough to cause a miniature earthquake. Otherwise, the range is extremely small and it fires as fast as a turtle.

    There have not been a lot of melee weapons depicted in sci fi movies, but one that is memorable is the exoskeleton that Riply used in Alien to kill the alien.

    Already mentioned was Beam Katana from No More Heroes

    Not yet mentioned: Beam Swordchucks (swordchucks from 8-Bit Theater with LAZORZ)

    And also more spear-based sci-fi weaponry because spears > swords

    if anyone is not aware of old style sword that is shaped in, it be good old time discuss matter fact this should be in, scimitar, Reaper (different version be a sword, not an scythe), board sword, claymore, Buster sword (not the one form FF), wazki, Dia katana (long sword version of katana), Large cleaver version sword (yes there has been, from many knights this was one the blade until got destroy), fencing sword (they r useful in some point they r used highly critical attackers), and pretty much so far I know about blades of course if someone "what about the claw with the blade" that is hard determined that is claw or blade so I say pretty much both.

    Anything involving lasers or electricity, incorporated through the use of gloves, batons, swords/daggers, polearms etc. would be pretty awesome.

    How about a superconducting supercollider that ,allows you to smash two atoms together into the face of your opponent.
    It would have 2 tubes one your back with constantly accelerating particles, when you attacked it would have to "recharge"
    but we all know the effects of smashing atoms...
