The term deus ex machina (appropriately enough, meaning "the god from the machine" in Greek) is used to refer to a plot device in which a surprising or unexpected event occurs in a story's plot, often to resolve flaws or tie up loose ends in the narrative. In classical Greek theatre, this often involved an actor representing a god whose powers saved the day, being suspended above the stage by a crane, hence the origin of the term. However, when used in Transformers, it's mainly a new character coming out of nowhere and kicking everyones ass (often used to promote a new toy); when a dead character comes back for some reason; or gets a new body (again, to sell toys). Sometimes, however, it's just conveniently used accesories.

  • Deus Ex Machina is a thriller/drama machinima series by Jon CJG, who at the time went under the aliases DigitalPh33r.

Tuvok praised her addition, calling it a "a very effective plot development." (VOY: "Worst Case Scenario")

  • A deus ex machina is a plot device, commonly used when an author has written themselves into a corner. It is a way to "save the day" by random, often magical or pseudo-magical means. For example: Our heroes are trapped in the last room of a keep, hordes of bloodthirsty orcs pounding down the door, with a dragon roasting the stones around them.

  • Dei ex machina originated in the tragedian classics of ancient Greece. Euripides, a pioneer of interior decoration-related tragedy, introduced the world to the tragic consequences of floor painters who would paint themselves into corners. Audiences regularly fell asleep as the protagonist was left standing immobile in the corner of the room waiting for paint to dry. Euripides, in his famous play The Satyr Paints the Vestibule, broke from this pattern by having the Satyr rescued by a robot with extendable arms. Audiences welcomed this break from the previously tedious genre.
  • Like the other airships, the Deus Ex Machina is sheeted in a special light metal armour, allowing for the maximum protection possible while still being light enough to be carried by the hydrogen-filled body. However, this armour seems to fare poorly against any sort of ordnance attack (as demonstrated when Zorin's zeppelin, having similar protection, was brought down within moments by Seras Victoria's Harkonnen II anti-aircraft gun), although can hold up for a short while against missile attacks. The transport compartment seems to be extremely spacious, having enough room to accommodate a large amount of personnel, a huge stash of weaponry, a treasury, a laboratory, and a huge war room connected to the bridge of the ship. The large, oval command centre allows a huge, computerised screen to

  • The Deus Ex Machina is an escape pod that was hidden in an box labelled "Hamdingers" in the Satellite of Love’s cargo bay. It was discovered by Gypsy in the episode Mitchell when she asked Mike Nelson’s help to find a way to get Joel Robinson off the Satellite (she believed the Mads wanted to kill him after the movie). The reason they didn’t discover it before was because (according to Gypsy) nobody likes Hamdingers, so they never opened the box to look what was really inside. Mike also helped Gypsy gain control of the escape pod after tricking TV's Frank into giving him the keys to the control panel in Deep 13.
  • A common form of Ass Pull or Writer Cop Out, a Deus Ex Machina is an outside force that solves a seemingly unsolvable problem in an extremely unlikely (and, usually, anticlimactic) way. If the secret documents are in Russian, one of the spies suddenly reveals that they learned the language. If the writers have just lost funding, a millionaire suddenly arrives, announces an interest in their movie, and offers all the finances they need to make it. If The Hero is dangling at the edge of a cliff with a villain stepping on his fingers, a flying robot suddenly appears to save him.

  • Deus Ex Machina refers to a writing technique where at the last second possible for the heroes have an intervention in the form of a completely out-of-left-field solution. In this case, none of the solution was setup in a previous episode and usually it will be followed by a hard reset of the show dynamic so the characters cannot use this power again; lest they destroy the suspension of disbelief. The writers of Doctor Who literally cannot sleep at night if they have written a story without one or more. Frequently used in finales.
