** Before that, ''how'' Weller figures out that the spy is not gen:LOCK compatible--while being held hostage by Sinclair, he theorizes that either Sinclair has [[FaceHeelTurn switched sides since qualifying for gen:LOCK]], or [[KillAndReplace he's not the real Sinclair]]. Sinclair ''barely'' reacts, but Weller takes his response as confirmation of the latter, and wags his eyebrows at the impostor smugly.

[[AC:Second Birthday]]
* During the game of capture the flag that Leon, Jodie and Miranda play against the three rookies, Valentina uses a car to sneak past the mechs. Kazu sees this, and buys time by using Cammie as a "human" shield and charging the others as a distraction. It ''nearly'' worked, too.
* Dr. Weller had a hard sell ahead of him after Sinclair's death spooked the team, and nearly caused Cammie to leave. His solution? Convince the team to try out their Holons just once outside a hangar where a squad of medivacs are set to drop off another group of refugees. He then delivers ''this'' soliloquy as the refugees debark - which is as relevant in the real world as it is in-series.
-->'''Weller:''' Needless aggression, unscrupulous greed, unchecked hate. To have the images, the headlines, incessantly thrust at you, hour after hour, years at a time, you normalize to it. They want you to go numb, become indifferent or lose your self in distractions, for it to feel like the evil in this world and all its machinations are too big to challenge. That loss of control leads to despair. To re-engage, to claw back even the tiniest sense of control, you don't have to save the world. You just have to make a difference where you can, with the opportunities you are given.

* In a villainous moment, we see that the Union is ''not'' to be messed with as it [[CurbStompBattle literally rips the life out of New York City]] in 2068 with its nanotech.



* During the fight with Fake!Sinclair, he nearly gains the upper hand on Yasmin. While this is happening, Chase learns from Cammie that "Sinclair" is a spy and that he needs to do something. His solution? Materialize behind Sinclair and simply say "Boo," scaring Sinclair into opening fire on his hologram and giving Yasmin an opening.
* An underhanded example from Dr. Weller when "Sinclair" tries to steal the gen:LOCK tech for the Union. He calmly orders his robot, Caliban, to plug Sinclair into a machine - knowing full well that the spy was pretending to be the real deal (rather than being a turncoat) and would therefore get killed. That takes NervesOfSteel.

* Julian's HeroicSacrifice in the Battle of New York is a hell of a thing. Knowing that the Union supermech can detect his nanotech-neutralizing warhead arming, he flips his fighter to interpose it between incoming fire and the bomb, shielding it just long enough for it to detonate.

* The way the Holons - a.k.a the mechs that Julian now pilots - are controlled. Instead of a conventional pilot controlling the mech from the inside, the pilot's mind is essentially digitized and transferred to the mech. For a lack of better terms, you literally ''are'' the mech.
