Bastion is a playable robot hero in Blizzard's Overwatch, which launched in 2016, and his voice lines are made up of electronic chirps and beeps instead of spoken dialogue. Fans began clipping those sounds for soundboards and short videos because they are instantly recognisable to players and easy to reuse as a reaction. The clip has stayed popular in gaming edits and meme videos, where a few seconds of Bastion's curious, mechanical voice can signal a robot joke, a game reference or a playful moment without needing any words.
