** Also played with, as there aren't many laser weapons amongst the Boyzz Brigade, who generally rely on either melee combat (Ninjazz, Street Boyzz) or indirect fire (the Sports Boyzz, themselves ''very'' accurate with their own sports-themed weapons - which mostly act like explosives rather than projectiles).

* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: The Boyzz are very obviously mechanical, but have wildly differing personalities whilst displaying self-initiative and emotions (and, in at least one case, ''amnesia''). The 3M-produced robots avert this most of the time, uniformly speaking with a "Steven Hawkings-voice" and demonstrating no personalities or sentience: one of the RM Corp's goals is figuring out how Ziv made his robots so human. One episode revolved around ZZ trying to sell the secret to a rival of RM Corp, {{spoiler|who was [[The Mole]]}}.

* [[Three Dimensional Episode]]: Each episode had a short action sequence (almost always a laser shoot-out with the RM Corp bots) with motion designed for [[wikipedia:Pulfrich effect|Pulfrich Effect]]-style glasses (ie, one darkened lens), announced by ZZ shouting "it's laser time!" Thankfully they never lasted long and nothing really pivotal happened during them.

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: At one point the RM Corp robots switch to a highly advanced, laserproof alloy for their armor plating that the Boyyz have trouble cutting through. Until they discover that the alloy's chemical weakness is citric acid. As in, lemon juice.
