Can also be (in most cases) a shining example of [[Cutscene Incompetence]], especially in Deadlocked, where you are captured by a bare handful of the same robots that you will be destroying by the dozens later in the game, often with a single round of ammo from the Harbinger. ~Whiteface, occasional troper who doesn't feel like registering
