Armstrong's 'Nanomachines, son!' line from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, used in memes to mock-explain impossible strength, speed, or sudden plot armor.

It is a short, gravelly voice line delivered with smug, almost amused confidence, as if the speaker is revealing a secret that explains everything. The delivery is punchy and theatrical, rising slightly on the final word before cutting off abruptly, which makes it land like a punchline rather than a normal piece of dialogue. Listeners recognise it instantly as a boast, a joke explanation for a character suddenly becoming unstoppable, and it works best when the scene has already pushed credibility to its limit.

The line comes from Senator Steven Armstrong in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, released in 2013, where he uses it to explain his superhuman strength during his boss fight. Clips of the scene spread online and later became a staple of meme edits, gaming videos, and short-form posts, often paired with footage of characters powering up or surviving something impossible. Its appeal has lasted because the phrase is short, instantly quotable, and works as a tongue-in-cheek answer to almost any unexplained feat.
