The Transmogrifyer From Calvin and Hobbes

A card board box with dials on it that turns anything placed in the box into anything else (provided there is a dial on the box for it, and adding a new dial takes a free action with a sharpie marker)

The Only Gun (Various Horror movies and Shows)

The Only Gun takes various forms, usually a small self-defense handgun, like a battered 9mm or a .38 revolver. It is the only firearm in the isolated, desolate place in which it is found. Anyone attempting to use the Only Gun in self defense will die a horrific death at the hands of their attacker UNLESS they are the sole survivor of the group, in which case they will succeed. Use of the Only Gun for nefarious purposes will ensure the gun will have an empty chamber.

Gigantor's Remote Control.

This large and bulky remote control deck with manual controls and no DNI is the only way to control the large (described as "bigger than big" and "taller than tell" anthroform drone known as Gigantor in the West and as Tetsujin 28 in Japan.

...Herbie's Lollipop (Herbie the comic book)

Effect - When used as a melee weapon it functions like a giant hammer doing STR/2 +8 damage. While it is in your mouth you can also cast Levitate even if you are not awakened (effective MA of 3 for mundanes).

Disadvantages - Who ever wields it immediately gains 125 kilos in weight of pure fat (250 for a Troll), needs to wear black round framed "Coke Bottle" lens glasses and have a ridiculous haircut that looks like your mom put a bowl over your head as a guide. For really hard core GMs, the PC should also be required to wear a spandex suit that says "The Fat Fury" and a "Plumbers Freind" on your head. Before using the lollipop as a weapon you have to clearly announce to your target, "I will bop you with my lollipop".

A Strange Glowing Fungus

This Fungus is laden with photoluminescence, but even on cursory examination, any biologist will tell you it is not safe to eat. However, if you do eat it, all of the electronic and battery powered equipment you possess will recharge instantly to maximum capacity.


Log

This brown stump of a log's exciting exterior belies its true nature. But that nature... is in the eye of the beholder.

Master Sword

when all damage tracks are empty this upgradable weapon focus launches a bolt of pure energy with a dv equal to its current power level. It starts as a force 2 focus, which doubles when an amount of orichalcum is worked into it for a specific owner. It doubles again if blessed by a free spirit. But always remember, To have the sword, first you must master it.

[Aku]

ok, heres a few off the top of my head...

The A-Teams weapon stash

Any of these weapons are completely ineffective at actually HITTING someone (automatically rolls a critical glitch), but said critical glitch will ALWAYS end in the explosion of any and all vehicles, small buildings, oil drums, milk cans, and anything not living. Said explosion will still not harm anyone though.

The spell creation system from Morrowind

ok, so not an item, but do you really want to be able to let the mage cast a spell that will launch you into the air (jump), clear a quarter of the map, and then cast a 100% levitate right when you're supposed to smack into the ground so you take no damage....

Action Movie Revolver

This 6 chamber .38 revolver is magiclly able to hold 10 bullets in each chamber, but becomes completely empty in the event of a glich or a critical glich.

Mateba Model 8 Unica Autorevolver, 2017 production. (Ghost in the Shell, all movies/manga/series)
Grants the owner +3 Edge. This exta edge is allowed to exceed attribute maximums. As a trade-off, however, the bearer suffers from the Sensitive System flaw so long as they own the item.

SEED Invoker (Persona 3)
Shaped unnervingly like a semi-automatic handgun of unknown manufacture, the Invoker allows the bearer to summon a spirit with Great Form and Posession when used. The spirit is only capable of posessing the individual who posesses the Invoker, and has a force equal to the bearer's essence+2. Determine all spirit powers normally.
In order to use the Invoker, the item must be aimed at the bearer's own head and the trigger must be pulled. Onlookers may believe the user has just shot themselves in the head.

Rickenbacker 4001 Bass Guitar (FLCL)
An oddly modified Rickenbacker 4001, this item contains a ripcord-starter connected to a flywheel within the body of the guitar. When pulled, the guitar emits a sound not unlike a 2-stroke gasoline engine. While the engine is engaged, the item functions as a Weapon Focus 2 Club.
Any metahuman struck with the guitar must make a Body+Willpower (3) test or have an astral gateway form within their forehead. This astral gateway enables spirits to enter the physical world from the Deep Astral; only a number of spirits equal to the victim's Essence may enter before the portal collapses. These spirits are friendly towards the victim in that they will not attack the victim unless bound and commanded to do so, but neither are they under the victim's control, either.
Additionally, the Rickenbacker enables the user to fly (as though they were surfing on the guitar) and grants the user +3 dice on all rolls relating to "rocking out." Note that playing blues, jazz, pop, or any similar musical styles on the bass are not considered to be rocking out.

As to ORAC, I would append that ORAC also has the Divination power. See the episode "Redemption."

Duncan McLeod's katana

Any physad owning that weapon is able to magically whisk it out of nowhere, so long as they wear a leather coat, and move their hand behind their back in a fluid motion.

The rings of Captain Planet

5 matching rings, each imbued with the powers of a force 5 elemental, one each for Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Man(or Beast). Wielders can use any of the innate powers of the elemental spirit contained in their ring. If all 5 wielders join together in a 1 combat turn ritual magic circle, they summon a force 25 Great Form Spirit with all the innate powers of all 5 elementals(at force 25) which has a severe allergy(pollution). The spirit owes one service and then releases its' power back to the rings, until resummoned.
"By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!"

The Sword of Omens" "Thundercats" cartoon

Short sword which fits into a magical sheath (included). Sheath acts as a grapple gun, with a bolt which is capable of piercing stone, and a magical retracting line capable of lifting the character to the bolt head.

Short sword acts as a reusable force 6 Clairvoyance Quickened spell. The sword can also lengthen itself in a 1 combat turn ritual while summoning and casting an "Unbinding" spell on the wielders' closest companions, who all have a token similar to the Eye of Thundera on the sword. Sword acts as a +3 weapon focus.

"Thunder, thunder, thunder, Thundercats, hooooo!"

Elvis Sun Glasses (True Romance)

When in need of advice or emotional support the King will appear to you and give solid and valuable advice. This advice will invariably cause you to enter into violent situations.

[bibliophile20]

The Dagger of Time (Prince of Persia)
The dagger is a small knife (Damage (STR/2)+1) Weapon Focus with a Unique Enchantment placed on it--the ability to reverse time in short spurts, up to five Combat rounds. The wielder of the knife remembers the events that occurred during the rewound seconds and can take steps to avoid whatever events occurred during those moments--such as avoiding a wrong step that lead to their death. The Dagger is powered by a corrupted mana that makes up a certain variety of shedim, the mana manifesting as a glowing golden sand.

Seven League Boots (Discworld)
These battered leather boots are Inhabited by an Ally Spirit with a modified Movement power; when engaged, the wearer can take seven league (21-mile) strides. Note that if the spirit starts to actively dislike the wearer, it can allow the obvious consequences of having one's feet 21 miles apart take place. The boots are capable of independent movement, and so are frequently caged or tied down when not in use.
