}}'''The Shadowplayer Show''' is a sketch comedy series featuring many characters, such as the retired bounty hunter known as Shadowplayer. This series introduced the [[Protocol Robots]] and [[Louie Vargas]], who would be given their own spinoff series in the form of the ''[[Guard Duty]]'' side series ''[[WarGames]]''. Most episodes are stop-motion animated with customized builds from the ''BIONICLE'' toyline, though there are some episodes using the ''[[Halo]]'' video games via machinima.

Because of this, ''BattleDudes'' can be seen as a precursor to ''WarGames''.
