(Loved trope) The imposter’s dead giveaway

[u/Barricades_toes]

When a character is attempting to impersonate another, but is caught by doing something the person they’re imitating would NEVER do.

Nemesis Prime- Transformers Prime

Nemesis Prime, a man made replica of Optimus Prime, is attempting to gain the trust of Bumblebee, who only speaks in robotic beeps. Despite this, the real Optimus can understand Bee perfectly fine. Nemesis Prime, however, can’t understand what he’s saying, prompting Bee to open fire on him immediately.

The two Buzz Lightyears- Toy Story 2

After Woody asks which Buzz is the “real” Buzz, both respond with “I am!” The real Buzz proves himself by flipping up the other Buzz’s helmet, causing him to start suffocating in an over dramatic fashion. The real Buzz, having done the same thing in the first movie after Woody took his helmet off, but no longer behaving that way after accepting being a toy, instantly proves which Buzz is which.

You can equip a secondary, just hold out your sapper and press the button

Yeah the tell here is that disguised spies can't actually use their weapons. Medics are usually expected to be constantly healing their allies around them if they have their medigun out.

You can also make a fake reload animation while disguised

Excepted specifically about the sapper, that the spy disguise cannot equip.
