Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles - General

[img]http://epguides.com/RoughnecksStarshipTroopers/logo.jpg[/img] For those who have seen Starship Troopers the movie may not have heard about the short run series called Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles. It was a CG animated series that was intended to be a kids show. It was one of the first CG animated series in syndication and came out right around the time of Reboot. (another CG show) It had groundbreaking CG animation for its time and a great story arc.

It had all of the main characters from the movie. There are 7 campaigns in the series each with 5 episodes. The campaign order is Pluto campaign Hydora campaign Tophet campaign Tesca campaign Zephyr campaign Klendathu campaign Homefront campaign The entire series can be found in two youtube accounts. first three campaigns are on [url]http://www.youtube.com/user/yoghurtrancher[/url] the last four are [url]http://www.youtube.com/user/Rye78[/url] (It looks like the first part of the first campaign isn't working ) unfortunately the company went bankrupt and the last three episodes were never finished. (all voice acting was recorded) There was a petition a while back to finish the series but no one knows what happened. The box set collection can be found on Amazon for $30 and sometimes less.

Goddamn I loved reboot [img]http://www.stuffwelike.com/stuffwelike/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/reboot.jpg[/img]

How exactly do you turn a mediocre action film about CGI bugs getting shot to mincemeat into a kid's show?

That show was the best.

I remember one episode of reboot where enzo fell into a glitch and almost got deleted. that was my favourite one, i hated that little bastard

I've been wanting to see this series for a while, thanks OP! :love:

I loved both of these when I was younger.

[QUOTE=Loen;21991396]How exactly do you turn a mediocre action film about CGI bugs getting shot to mincemeat into a kid's show?[/QUOTE] The violence was drastically toned down. You never directly saw someone die other than a ship blowing up in the distance. There is plenty of talk of casualties being high, several of the main characters are injured for several episodes and without giving too much away, we lose at least one of the main characters. There is plenty of bug gore though.

I have the Trackers campaign.

God damn I need to watch this when it isn't 12 PM on a school night.

Nostalgia attack. :byodood:

Love the sound the bugs make when they're getting shot
