Line 10:
* '''Jade''' -- [[The Lancer]] to Graveheart, she's a proud warrior to Graveheart's humble miner. Distrustful and somewhat disdainful of others, undeservedly (at least when not talking about Femur).
* '''Prince Pyrus''' -- ''"I'm the Prince, I get to do what I want"'' [[Hot-Blooded]] child prince of Fire, he chafed under the role of leader but was often assertive and responsible. Despite his quote, he wasn't so much a brat as unchained by "tradition", especially when it was xenophobic. His [[Power of Trust|trust]] in Femur was one of the things that helped the latter be somewhat less jerky.
* '''Femur''' -- The [[Token Evil Teammate]], a greedy, slimy, cowardly, sexist, lecherous, [[The Magnificent|vainglorious]] lizard who was not above selling out the Alliance. Would alternate being [[Dumbass Has a Point|unexpectedly]] [[Wisdom
* '''Lady Zera''' -- The spitfire [[Tagalong Kid]], and haughty princess of planet Ice.
* '''Zuma''' -- A late addition, a psychic woolly being who is wise and contemplative ... yeah, she got maybe two episodes tops, and not very deep ones either.
Line 36:
* [[The Baroness]]: General Lampray.
* [[Battle Couple]]: [[Official Couple]] Graveheart and Jade definitely qualify.
* [[Battle in
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Graveheart. Usually the compassionate and mild-mannered leader of the Alliance... but keep in mind that this is also the same man who {{spoiler|snapped like a twig and took out most of Fire's aerial fleet ''by himself'' after his brother was killed right in front of him.}} In other words, ''not'' someone you want to piss off.
* [[BFG]]: The Sonic Cannons.
Line 70:
** [[The Big Guy]]: Jade
** [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Femur
* [[Fling a Light Into
* [[Funetik Aksent]]: Both of the Beast 'generals' who can speak, with thick Russian or Eastern European accents.
* [[Gentleman Snarker]]: Cryos.
Line 85:
** Hilariously used in one episode. Whereas normal troopers will explode with their ship if it's even grazed by a Drone's attack, the heroes' ship (which is the exact same ship used by their mooks) survives two or three direct hits and the only thing knocked out was the engines.
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: The heroes have an amazing knack for hitting the tiny containment unit of the Beast Drones when not using the heavy sonic cannons.
* [[Jerk
* [[The Juggernaut]]: While the heroes destroy the Beast Drones by truckloads, the Beast itself {{spoiler|shrugs off all attempt to stop it, including ramming a planet into it, detonating a planet turned into a bomb inside it, and teleporting it to unknown parts of the universe. The last one only forces it to shift targets.}}
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: King Cryos. "You can count on Ice to be the first to stand at your side."
Line 95:
* [[Kuudere]]: Jade is a Type 2. Her "dere" side comes out most frequently around Graveheart, but as the series progresses we see her gradually warming up to other Alliance members as well.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Apparently, Graveheart's "I'm just a miner'' annoys Jade even more than the audience. Femur has been known to do this as well.
* [[Market-Based Title]]: It was called "Shadow Raiders" in Canada because Canadian kid's TV shows can not have the word "war" in the title. For this reason, another [[Merchandise-Driven]] show by Mainframe was named "[[Beast Wars
* [[Merchandise-Driven]]: Based on ''"War Planets"'', a toy line of planetoids with various gadgets that popped out.
* [[Moment Killer]]: Femur's bad timing almost gets him throttled by Jade.
Line 101:
* [[Morality Pet]]: Pyrus seems to be something of this to Femur, as the otherwise amoral and treacherous ruler of Bone has a definite soft spot for the young prince of Fire. In a more literal fashion, the seedling of Planet Jungle that Femur is charged with tending could be seen this way.
* [[Never Accepted in His Hometown]]: Graveheart. {{spoiler|Until the series final, that is.}}
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Averted all to hell and back. One episode, "J'Accuse," seems devoted to doing nothing ''but'' saying variations on the words murder, kill, and the titular die as often as possible. Fitting, considering it is about a murder case.
* [[No Flow in CGI]]
* [[No Sympathy]]: Empathy is not Jade's strong point...
Line 124:
* [[Single Biome Planet]]: Each of the planets are defined by a single geographical type (Usually whatever their name is): Ice - ice, Rock - rocks, Fire - volcanoes, Bone - swamps, Jungle- jungles, Sand - sand. This is one of the few [[Justified Trope|justified]] examples, as virtually all of the planets seen are artificial.
* [[Shout-Out]]: There are a number of scenes in the first season that heavily mirror sequences from [[Star Wars]].
* [[Taking You
** The self-destruct of {{spoiler|Planet Jungle}} is also a variant of this, since its World Engines were inoperative and it was going to be eaten anyway.
* [[The Evil Prince]]: Femur had a brother whose throne he usurped and sent to the Prison Planet. Although he was Femur's exact opposite when we meet him (refined, noble, tall, and muscular), flashbacks indicate that he was having Femur disposed of but Femur managed to turn the tables.
Line 131:
* [[Tsundere]]: Zera, who's pretty fiery for an ice maiden.
* [[Twist Ending]]: A really dark one, by the standards of a children's show. See [[Book Ends]] above.
* [[What Happened to
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Graveheart had an experience of this when his little brother was killed on planet fire.
* [[The Voiceless]]: General Voyd, who often acts as a tiebreaker between Generals Blokk and Lampray. Possibly the direct representation of the Beast's judgement.
