=== The animated series has these tropes: ===
 
* [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: {{spoiler|Mr. Cairo. He was originally an analytical program that was going to be integrated into Doctor Jak's mind to help him find out who was responsible for the Sector Zero wreck (which killed his wife), but the illegal clinic where he was receiving the operation was raided by the Enforcers, and the program ended up being lost on the net, where it eventually became self-aware and developed its own personality.}}
** Likewise {{spoiler|Heisenberg, the fractal biot, who becomes self-aware after his external processor is damaged. He then uses his own sub-components to make other biots selfaware, beginning with Pavlova, Dr. Jak's assistant}}
* [[Animated Adaptation]]
Line 46:
* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]]: "The Magician", an old friend of the Phantom family who bears a striking resemblence to an elderly version of Falk's [[Mandrake the Magician|Mandrake]].
* [[Legacy Character]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Two meanings of the word "graft" are "A portion of living tissue surgically transplanted from one part of an individual to another, or from one individual to another, for its adhesion and growth" and "The acquisition of money, gain, or advantage by dishonest, unfair, or illegal means, esp. through the abuse of one's position or influence in politics, business, etc." It's the perfect name for the character Graft, a [[Hollywood Cyborg]] who is the enforcer for a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]].
* [[Mecha-Mooks]]: Maximum, Inc. apparently consists of three people and an army of robots.
* [[Mega Corp]]: Maximum, Inc.
