Line 13:
* They wanted to join the hero's side all along. They just wanted to test the hero's power first
* They're a [[Dirty Coward]] who doesn't want the hero to finish them off.

Line 65:
* Saia in ''[[Tactics Ogre the Knight of Lodis]]'' offers Alphonse a deal after being bested in combat, agreeing to fight against other demons alongside Alphonse since he only cares for power.
* You meet a ''lot'' of these guys in the ''[[Suikoden]]'' series. A lot of characters won't join until you have a castle of a certain size, which depends on how many other characters have joined you; some won't join until you have a certain number of characters, period. The implication is that they want proof you have a large enough army to do anything before they sign up.
* A (semi)heroic example in ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]'': {{spoiler|Zelos}} utters this line after {{spoiler|betraying the party to Yggdrassil}}. Of course, {{spoiler|[[Multiple Endings|in all but one of the endings]] [[Changed My Mind, Kid|he turns out to be lying.]]}}
* ''[[War Craft|Warcraft 3]]'' has Varimathras, a Dreadlord who switches sides to avoid being killed by Sylvanas, and who even has "[[Lampshade Hanging|I'm always on the winning side]]" as one of his responses. In ''[[World of Warcraft]]: Wrath of the Lich King'' {{spoiler|it's revealed that he lied and never left the Burning Legion, using his position as second to Sylvanas to be [[The Starscream]].}}
* Happens to Augus in ''[[Asura's Wrath]]''. As shown in episode 15.5's interlude, Augus wasn't interested in joining the eight Guardian Generals at first, stating that they were "weaklings". Then Deus came along and fought him to a tie. After the fight, Deus promises Augus that all battles will be like the one they were in if he joins his cause. [[Blood Knight|Augus complies]].
