Line 258:
* [[Command & Conquer]] Red Alert 2 and [[Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3|3]] have the Allied spy unit which can do this. The Imperial Sudden Transport from [[Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3]] can disguise itself as an enemy vehicle.
* ''[[StarCraft II]]: Wings of Liberty'' features an alien organism, called "changeling", which is capable of assuming the identity of the enemy race, clothes and all, and do some recon. Units won't be able to spot or attack the changeling without the player's direct intervention in the form of explicit order to attack what appears to be an ally.
* ''[[Space Quest]]'' has you do this in homage to the Stormtrooper disguise in ''[[Star Wars]]'', although in this case, Roger is fortunate enough to enter the Sarien base near a laundry room. Later, you lose the helmet and blow your cover.
* ''[[Covert Front]]'' has a scene where Kara has to dress in [[Imperial Germany|German]] officer's clothing so that she can drive past a German checkpoint safely. This all hinges on none of the soldiers getting a good look at her and realizing that she is not only a woman, but also the spy whose photograph is plastered over all their bases; once in Lisbon, Kara still has to avoid all the soldiers guarding the roads.
* ''[[Covert Action]]'' during break-ins enables the disguise when the player character moves over a knocked out guard, and cancels if there's an alarm. This doesn't always fool the adversaries - if they see the agent in a far corner of the room, turned away and looking at a very interesting wall, it works, but if they meet the agent face to face in the door, or catch on something suspicious (like safe-cracking or attacking another guard), they'll raise an alarm.
