{{quote|''"Pay no attention to [[The Man Behind the Curtain]]!"''
The time has come, and after much journeying and many plot twists, the heroes are finally going to face the [[Big Bad]]. Unfortunately, there's a problem: said [[Big Bad]] is much stronger than they ever could have imagined. Its power is monstrous, its defenses impenetrable, and no matter what they do, the heroes can't so much as get it to flinch. Despair and woe, the villain has triumphed! His victory is assured!
Line 10:
See also [[The Man Behind the Curtain]].
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The Pretenders in ''[[Transformers]]''. There was never really a "reveal" that within the [[Badass]] Bludgeon was a puny robot (the audience knew all along—it's a [[Merchandise-Driven]] series after all), but even he knew how lame his inner robot was.
Line 33:
* In ''[[Angel]]'', the demon known as the Beast in season 4 is revealed to be simply a minion of the real big bad, the demon-hijacked Cordelia.
== [[Tabletop
* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' module WG7 ''Castle Greyhawk''. An iron golem is built like a giant mecha, with many attacks a normal iron golem doesn't have. Its head holds a control room with an orc inside that is controlling it.
