While giant robots may not fit every genre, I think the idea has merit. By throwing a spanner in the works I force the characters to react and break them out of whatever's holding up the story.
Was it Dash Hammett, or Raymond Chandler that said something along the lines of this? That if you get into a jam in a plot, have a man with a gun burst into the room?
