Line 8:
=== The series had examples of the following tropes: ===
 
* [[Character Asas Himself]]: Cursor even gets the "[[And Starring]]" billing.
* [[Cool Car]], which also happens to be a [[Flying Car]].
* [[Energy Shield]]: Automan can be one, by "merging" yourself with him. Since he's made of light, you can just walk through him and stand where he stands (but since it's [[Hard Light]], it will subsequently stop bullets, etc.).
Line 20:
* [[Sue Donym]]: Automan's usual alias outside the computer is Otto J. Mann.
* [[Short Runners]]: Only lasted 12 eps,with a 13th episode unaired (though all 13 aired in the UK).
* [[Shout -Out]]: Many, as one of Automan's abilities was to duplicate skills he saw performed in movies or television. One notable incident involved duplicating the skills in The Hustler - right down to the missed final shot.
* [[They Fight Crime]]
* [[Tron Lines]]: on every vehicle Cursor creates. Also Automan's holographic body; even when in plainclothes disguise, his glowing collar is always visible.
* [[Weakened Byby the Light]]: Automan and Cursor's power needs meant that they could only be projected into the physical world during off-peak hours, i.e. nighttime.
