That big bar fight is finally over, and you’re grabbing tacos with the Z-Team. Everything’s cool until Punch Up hits you with the big question: “Who are you really?” Now you’ve only got two choices: “I’m Robert” or “I’m Mecha Man.” This is a huge moment, and if you’re stuck, we know exactly what you should do.
The Quick Answer: Yes, Reveal Your Identity
Don’t hesitate. Pick “I’m Mecha Man.”
Why? Because the team is going to find out your secret in Episode 6 anyway! It’s way better for them to hear it from you. It builds more trust, gets all that Flambae drama sorted out immediately, and just makes for a better story.
What Happens if You Say “I’m Mecha Man”?
If you choose to tell them you’re Mecha Man, get ready for things to pop off. The whole team is shocked, but nobody loses it quite like Flambae. Because of your history, he completely flips out and tries to fry you right there.
Don’t worry, though. Golem instantly jumps in to shield you. Also Waterboy or Malevola (Based on your choice to add Waterboy or Phenomaman to the team) throw water on him. Then Flambae flies off. After he’s gone, the other members share their real names with you, and you can feel that the trust between you has gone way up.
In Episode 6, pretty much the entire team (minus Flambae) shows up to watch you test the new suit. Flambae doesn’t come to work that day. But it all gets sorted out at Robert’s housewarming party. Flambae shows up, walks right up to you, punches you square in the face, and says he “needed to do that.” And just like that, you two are cool. It’s a great ending for that storyline and one of the best scene in Dispatch episode 6.
What Happens if You Say “I’m Robert”?
Choosing “I’m Robert” is the safe route, but it ends up being the lonelier path. Robert gives a big speech about “moving on from the past” and how the Z-Team members are the real heroes now.
Flambae isn’t happy with that answer but lets it go. The team still shares their real names, so the moment is important in story.
But the problem shows up in Episode 6. When you go to test the new suit, only a few people (like Invisigal and Chase) show up to watch. It just doesn’t feel as supportive.
And here’s the worst part: your secret gets out anyway! At your party, a drunk Chase gets in an argument and yells out the truth for everyone to hear. The room goes silent, and everyone finds out in the most awkward way possible. It’s the kind of moment that makes you wonder, do choices in Dispatch even affect anything? Well, yeah, they do, because how they find out matters a lot.
So Why You Should Reveal Your Identity
Here’s the bottom line: your secret isn’t staying secret. No matter what you pick, the Z-Team knows the truth by the end of Episode 6. The only question is whether you want to control the situation and tell them yourself, or let it leak out by accident.
Choosing to reveal your identity in Dispatch is the better move. You deal with Flambae’s anger head on, get punched, and it’s over. You look more trustworthy, the team respects you for it, and the conflict is actually resolved.
Hiding it just delays the leads to a super awkward reveal later.
Does This Choice Have a Trophy?
Yep! You get a separate silver trophy for each of the two choices.
Here’s a little pro tip: The game saves right before Punch Up asks the question. You can pick one option, get the trophy, then quit to the main menu. Load the save again, pick the other option, and get the second trophy. It’s an easy way to complete this part of the Dispatch Episode 5 walkthrough.
