History WMG / GenLock

[[WMG: Union Nano-weapons have a similar effect to [[Anime/Gundam00 red GN particles.]]

* [[spoiler:Confirmed, at least partially. The man pretending to be Sinclair was killed at the end of the second episode]]

* Given how gen:Lock tech works, it's far more likely for the pilots to suffer severe mental issues, such as something similar to body dysmorphia.

* Possibly Jossed. The trailer heavily implies that the piloting system is a mental connection not unlike that from [[Film/{{Avatar}} Avatar]].

* Alternatively, Sinclair is a ReverseMole; pretending to be the Union's spy within the program when he's actually playing them by giving intel to the Vanguard. This might be played further for drama when Sinclair has to defect to keep his cover

At the end of the character reveal trailer that introduced him and Romanyszyn, the camera zoomed in on his picture, which is noticeably darker than the others. Things like that don't happen unless there's a good reason, and given Rooster Teeth's [[Machinima/RedVsBlue history of introducing likable characters who turned out to be evil]] [[spoiler: (COUGH*Felix*COUGH)]], I wouldn't be that surprised.

* Possibly Jossed. The piloting system for the suits is heavily implied to be a mental connection not unlike that from [[Film/{{Avatar}} Avatar]].

If the suits aren't piloted traditionally ala ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'', the suits are piloted via quote un-quote ''motion capture'' (think the Jaeger pilots from ''Film/PacificRim''). And if the latter is what happens, the cockpit is the chest area, this troper theorizes.

** Fair point regarding the name. Although my theory is more about what I’d the Union are actually the good guys and the side the Vanguad represents are actually the bad guys.

We haven't seen much of him or been told much either. In promotional images, Sinclair is often in the same pose. This could mean he dies early on to show the show's stakes.

Based on the dialogue in the first teaser (wherein Dr. Weller indicates that Chase ''wasn't'' lucky to have compatability with the technology and was "still adjusting" to it), along with the show's title ''and'' the show's summary, the latter stating that the pilots gain abilities "at no small cost". It's a fair guess to say that this will happen, and prove to be a major secret no-one informs the pilots about until it's too late.

As in neither the Union or Vanguard will be portrayed as completely good or completely evil and the conflict will be revealed to be a case of BothSidesHaveAPoint. The Vanguard will naturally want to defend themselves and their culture but do so by any means possible while the Union could have a genuine desire to unite the world to prevent Humanity from destroying itself due to cultural differences. WordOfGod does say that the show will be DarkerAndEdgier so one way could be shown is by not having it be a case BlackAndWhiteMorality.

Not really much to go off of for this theory but I decided I might as well throw it in after thinking of it (plus this is call wild mass guessing so why not make some crazy theories). Perhaps the Union which is mentioned in the second trailer will turn out to be the guy guys. The Union does sound more like a name for TheFederation instead of TheEmpire.

Mainly those who are generally disliked by those who appreciate things like personal freedoms and rights, like dictators whose own countries now regard them negatively for various reasons, like hypocrisy, attacking/controlling the free press, personal depraved actions, and the vilification of those who didn't submit.

!There will be references to [[Creator/MichaelBJordan Michael B. Jordan's]] past work.

[[In a PlotTwist it will be revealed that the Union are the good guys and the Vanguard are the bad guys]]

Perhaps Julian Chase was raised in [[Film/FruitvaleStation Oakland]]. Or his CQC score is high, but focuses mostly on [[Film/{{Creed}} boxing]]. Or he hates [[Film/FantasticFour2015 fire]] and [[Film/{{Chronicle}} telekenisis]]. Heck, maybe his casual clothing has a tendency to be [[Film/BlackPanther2018 black and yellow/gold]].
