What are your favourite Sci-fi melee weapons?

Its all fun and games until someone poops themselves from too much electricity (and/or laughing.)

 

Naginata, (Plasma if nessesary)
bayonets (also plasma)
uranium axe
Nano hammer
wrench

 

The best sci-fi melee weapon is the lightsaber.
Second to that is the z-saber, which is basically the same thing.
Other than that, I honestly can't think of anything.
Stereotypically, sci-fi melee weapons are just lasers on a handle

 

Buzz Lightyears arm...
Or a robotic arm... Rip one off and beat people with it!

 

Got the right idea ha ha! I wish people would read from page 1 so they don't quadruple post.

 

I know...' kinda... maybe... woot? WHO AM I!? LOOK OUT IT's A

 

a cattleprod, a razorwire whip, scorpion's "GET OVER HERE" hook spear thingy

a power loader from aliens, or a driveable ED 209 from robocop

 

Mechas are apparently already apart of Starbound. I heard that from a possibly reliable source...

 

awesome

 

Yup, there's one on the site's FAQ page.

Pretty much this, though there are always exceptions. Star Wars has cortosis blades, Star Trek had the batt'leth, and Warhammer 40K has the chainsword just to name a few for the sake of examples. From what I've seen, devs realize this and are fleshing out melee weapons to reflect that. Who knows what crazy implements of doom will show up in the end?

 

Hooked blades are pretty awesome looking.



But plasma-y

 

Derp, dual laser exploding boomerangs, derp.

 

Wouldn't holding a laser boomerang be painful?

 

I don't know if others would like this idea, but we can have something like Halo's Gravity Hammer. Something that pushes things back after someone swings it around. Maybe it can to break some blocks too.

 

Beam swords that don't look like lightsabres (imagine Zero from Megaman X), and energy claws.

 

Perhaps a light-omitting blade similar to that of Ichigo Kurosaki's. Not quite Sci-Fi, but makes an excellent melee weapon.

 

How about a Robotic Arm that you could equip almost like a glove which would enchance your melee damage or damage you do with a weapon. It could also do melee damage when you hit with it.

 

Mech swords dealing tons of damage is enough.

 

...everythiiiing?

I really think that would be better as a projectile you fire out of a cannon.
