** The Imperial Sudden Transport can disguise itself as any vehicle. While the disguise is technically flawless, sometimes the chosen disguise is the problem- no player is going to ignore the MightyGlacier Apocalypse tank somehow zipping along at breakneck speed, or the Harbinger gunship on the ground, or the battleship moving on land. It also has to turn off the disguise to let troops out.
** The Mirage tank uses a holographic projector to disguise itself as a random prop (tree, civilian car, etc.). It can also turn off its own camouflage to cloak nearby allies, but this also causes a honking big visible cloud to surround it.
*** One mission has a Mirage manage to project both the cloaking field ''and'' disguise itself as an enemy. This GameBreaker of an ability is never referenced again.
** Subverted by Spies. While the interface effect ''looks'' like a hologram (to let the player know what unit the spy is currently disguised as), an in-game interview has a spy claim that it's mostly acting like what the other person expects to see, which explains why animals see right through it. Again, nothing prevents the spy from having a perfectly inappropriate disguise like a swimming infantry unit (only commandoes, spies and ninja can swim) or a dolphin swimming on land.

* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'': Candice from season 1 and early season 2 has the ability to cast illusions which make her appear different to people. In practice, it's the same basic ability asShapeShifting, VoluntaryShapeshifting, but it's explicitly not that.
* ''Series/TheOrville'':
** Inepisode 6 of ''Series/TheOrville'', "[[Recap/TheOrvilleS1E06Krill Krill]]", Captain Mercer and Lt. Malloy use holographic technology to disguise themselves as Krill in order to infiltrate a Krill warship. The devices are provided to them by Isaac, a member of the technologically-advanced technologically advanced robotic Kaylon race. The holograms appear to be more than just visual, as when Mercer and Malloy get stuck in a doorway, you can hear the sound of two leather outfits rubbing against one another, implying either some kind of HardLight or an auditory simulator.
