* In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', Starscream tries to defect from the Decepticons to the Autobots, but he makes the mistake of accidentally revealing that he [[DeadPartner killed Cliffjumper]] to Arcee. He is forced to flee when she tries to kill him for revenge. Realizing that his long history of antagonizing them makes any long-term alliance impossible, so tries his hand at being an independent player. That doesn't last: several failed schemes force Starscream admit that he simply doesn't have the resources or allies need to take over Cybertron working on his own. After some thought, he reasons that regaining his high position under Megatron's rule is much better than the nothing he could achieve on his own, swallows his pride, and use several of his stole artifacts to bribe his way back into the Decepticon ranks.

Geralt himself ends up being forced to take a side in "The Lesser Evil" in the conflict between Stregobor and Renfri, due to Renfri threatening to slaughter the townsfolk of Blaviken.

* One of AesopsFables is "The Dilemma of the Bat," about a bat that imposed neutrality upon himself to avoid making enemies. Briefly, war between the beasts of the earth and the birds of the sky seemed imminent. The beasts asked the bat to join their side, but the bat deferred, claiming to be a bird. Likewise, when the birds asked the bat to side with them, the bat claimed to be a beast. A last-minute truce between the lion and the eagle averted war, but left the bat with no allies and shunned as a distrusted pariah. "In seeking to make no enemies, I've succeeded in making no friends," the bat lamented.
