| - Thrusters are a fairly new upgrade that came for people who became Official Incredibots Supporters. They came a couple of months before Incredibots 2 along with Scale and Mirror.
- Thrusters are a speed boosting device that all ships have a slot for. Thrusters default to the "Tab" key. By hitting your thrusters, your ship quickly increases speed by 120. So if you're zipping along at 79 out of Cruise Mode, hitting the thrusters will boost your speed up to 199. Remember: thrusters have a "drain rate", and if you continually use your thrusters, your thruster power percentage will slowly drain to zero, and you're back to normal speed while your thrusters recharge. Thrusters cannot be used while cruising to push your speed any faster than 300.
- Metroid: Other M features exhaust energy being released from Samus's thrusters when she is SenseMoving, Speed Boosting and Shinesparking. The flares given off by her boosters in the game resemble that of Prime. In addition, the thrusters are used in the Search View HUD as the symbol for materials vulnerable to supersonic impacts. In the Super Smash Bros. series, Samus' thrusters are the reason why she is considered a "floaty" character, referencing the hovering nature they play when she jumps slowly. During the first frames of her jumping, the thrusters burst slightly.
- The Thrusters are an equipment item available in Crackdown 2 through The Toy Box DLC. Thruste rs equip the Agent with jet boots which the player can use to boost vertically through the air for a period of about five seconds. While using the Thrusters, the player can control the direction of movement and slow down jumps from great heights. Unlike other "Explosives" that can be selected in the weapon loadout menu, Thrusters can only be activated by double-tapping and holding the "A" button. Thrusters have limited fuel, but this fuel regenerates when the Thrusters are not in use.

| - The Thrusters are an equipment item available in Crackdown 2 through The Toy Box DLC. Thruste rs equip the Agent with jet boots which the player can use to boost vertically through the air for a period of about five seconds. While using the Thrusters, the player can control the direction of movement and slow down jumps from great heights. Unlike other "Explosives" that can be selected in the weapon loadout menu, Thrusters can only be activated by double-tapping and holding the "A" button. Thrusters have limited fuel, but this fuel regenerates when the Thrusters are not in use. Greater heights and distances can be obtained if the thrusters are pulsed rather than used constantly. Doing so largely trivializes travel throughout the city, making it possible for a fresh agent to get nearly anywhere without bothering to level up his agility skill and allowing many normal and renegade orbs to be much more easily collected. Thrusters also largely cause the wing suit to be much less valuable. The thrusters are much more controlable over short and medium distances and make veritcle climbs much easier. With thrusters equiped, the only time a wing suit would be helpful is when traveling over exceptionally large distances or trying to reach very high altitudes well above the tops of buildings. Despite not actually being an offensive item, some damage can be dealt with the thrusters. First, the flame jets from the Thrusters can ignite enemies, however, the burn damage from this is actually quite low providing little reason to bother. Second, when the thrusters are activated at a full charge (40 in the grenade ammo section of the HUD), they produce a small UV explosion around the player. This explosion does very little damage against uninfected humans, but will hurt or kill Freaks, but given the small size of the explosion is little more than a close range defensive attack. Any kills will result in explosive expierence orbs. Because of the damage it can do, care must be taken if the thrusters are used around explosive objects such as fuel barrels, as they may set off an explosion, possibly killing the agent. Although the thrusters are not explosives, the game classifies them in the grenades category. The Thrusters are not to be confused with the similar Thruster Ability.
