* In ''[[Promethean: The Created (Tabletop Game)|Promethean: The Created]]'', the Prometheans aren't claiming they have no emotions; what they're claiming is that their emotions aren't ''real'' in some way. As artificial creations, they find themselves aping human emotions in an attempt to pass for normal. Their [[Karma Meter]], Humanity, measures how good they are at that; as it slips away, they're less able to keep the facade.

** The vampires of ''[[Vampire: The Requiem (Tabletop Game)|Vampire: The Requiem]]'' are also stated to not feel genuine emotions so much as ''remember'' emotions they had felt in life; the game notes that a vampire embraced young might suffer some awkward moments as they try to experience emotions they never felt before the Embrace. The only emotions a vampire is truly capable of "feeling" are those that come from the vampire's [[Super Powered Evil Side|Beast]]: rage, hunger, and self-preserving fear, all of which manifest in the [[Unstoppable Rage]] referred to in the game as "Frenzy."

* In ''[[Mass Effect (Video Game)|Mass Effect]]'', The Geth teammate Legion has shades of this. Despite having a robotic manner and being an aggregate of 1183 VI programs, he often talks about morality, purpose, and the meaning of life. His opinions on freedom sound suspiciously [[Transformers|familiar]]. Occasionally, his "I'm an emotionless robot" facade cracks, such as when confronted with betrayal or unpleasant revelations, when asked pointed questions about his illogical behavior, or when playing ''[http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Broker_Dossiers/Legion Galaxy of Fantasy]''.

* in ''[[Super Robot Wars (Video Game)|Super Robot Wars]]'', Lamia Loveless was made with emotions, but considering her circumstances, she only prioritizes her mission and thinks emotions are useless. Only after various missions with her new friends that she starts discovering that she has emotions and starts valuing them.

* ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]'' plays with this trope on occasion, which such statements as "I don't have any emotions, and sometimes that makes me feel sad".

** Especially since most of the robots in the show seem to have perfectly human-like emotions, although the triggers are somewhat different.

* Mr. Freeze in ''[[Batman ~~the~~ Animated Series (Animation)|Batman the Animated Series]]'' claimed that his emotions had been frozen dead within him. Sure, his voice tone [[Creepy Monotone|doesn't portray any emotion]] , but [[Tear Jerker|the things he actually]] ''[[Tear Jerker|says]]'' are another matter entirely.

* Red Tornado in ''[[Batman the Brave And The Bold (Animation)|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'', especially in the episode "Hail the Tornado Tyrant!".

** Also, Red Tornado and his "family" in ''[[Young Justice (Animation)|Young Justice]]'', which frustrates their creator T.O. Morrow to no end.
