We don't want to overdo this one, because if they look too similar it could confuse readers into assuming the trope is narrower than it is. I think the current image works fine.
The caption, however, is really bad.

Rhymes with "Protracted."The caption definitely needs to go...as far as the actual pic, I'm neutral on it.
...Didn't we have this discussion before?
Fight smart, not fair.I was wondering that myself, but there's nothing in the history showing a pic change and there's not an older IP thread.
Maybe we're thinking of Hive Queen?
Fight smart, not fair.That's it...I had that pic in my head but the trope name wasn't coming to me.
There's got to be a better picture for this. Right now its just "a bunch of guys with the same expression". This might not even be picturable.
Being in a Japanese-produced work is not enough of a difference to warrant its own trope.I want to say something from like the Star Trek comics with the Borg but google fails me.
Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Perhaps this?◊ Or this?◊ They'd need to be cropped, of course, but the Stepford Cuckoos are a really good example.
Ah, here.

"You fail to grasp the basic principles of mad science. Common sense would be cheating." - NarbonicThat looks good.
Reaction Image RepositoryThat one and the one with Cyclops, cropped about halfway, are good.
Is it possible to make that "boring" line a little more legible? Aside for that, the pic's looking great.
"We are not a stuffy encyclopedic wiki. We're a buttload more informal".The best way I could see to do that cut out two of the five. I got a few more options, too.

"You fail to grasp the basic principles of mad science. Common sense would be cheating." - NarbonicEh, not looking as good... I made the text a little clearer in the five-headed pic: here◊.
On a side note, noobish question: how do you post an image in a post, rather than a link?
"We are not a stuffy encyclopedic wiki. We're a buttload more informal".You need to upload it.

Then just post the link here, no brackets.

Yeah, unwritten rule number one: follow all the unwritten procedures. - CamacanThanks guys, good to know. So, here's a version with a readable line:
"We are not a stuffy encyclopedic wiki. We're a buttload more informal".
Looks great and has my vote!

Winnah.
Go with that one; it's perfect.
Big improvement.
Good enough; the pic is up, potholed, and tagged. Caption or no?
Yeah they all have the same facial expression but I don't think that gets the trope across well enough
