Despite powerhouse ratings when it first aired (it often beat out new episodes of ''[[The Venture Bros]]'', [[Adult Swim]]'s most popular original series), Seth Green [[Too Good to Last|halted all production on the show]] to focus on his [[Money, Dear Boy|self-admitted]] [[Cash Cow Franchise]], ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' -- even though he wasn't a creator or producer, and Matthew Senreich said he had enough material for "maybe ten seasons" of the show [http://www.adultswim.com/shows/titan-maximum/extras/interview/matt-senreich-titan-maximum-interview.html in an interview].

{{tropelist}}
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: They say the [[Humongous Mecha]] genre, but ''[[Voltron]]'' is the obvious target.
** There's also a lot of tiny shout outs to the [[Combattler V|Nagahama]] [[Voltes V|Romance]] [[Daimos|Trilogy]]. That, and Gibbs looks just like [[Captain Harlock]].
Line 95 ⟶ 94:
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]]: Palmer. Post-[[Face Heel Turn]] Gibbs claims that he was the ''true'' hero, since he came up with all the plans and that Palmer's just a glory-hogging prick. Knowing Palmer, this is no doubt completely true.
** [[The Lancer]]:
** [[The Big Guy]]
** [[The Smart Guy]]:
** [[The Heart]]: Originally, Spud (arguably); Willie seems to be verging on this.
** [[The Sixth Ranger]]/[[Team Pet]]: Leon
Line 172 ⟶ 170:
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Possible variant - nice job [[Break the Haughty|breaking your lancer]], hero! Titan Maximum also appears to play this straight on a small scale fairly often.
** The first season ends with them {{spoiler|failing to stop Gibbs from completely frying Mercury}}.
* [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer]]: In the first season finale, Willie goes on about how Clare's [[BFS|sword]] is made of "Aggregated diamond nanorods; hyperdiamond! The hardest substance there is!" Cue the freeze frame and the disclaimer informing that [[wikipedia:Aggregated diamond nanorod|ADNR's]] are a real substance, and are every bit as hard as advertised. We don't yet know of anything harder.
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: Willie's grandparents try this when the sex tape of Gibbs and {{spoiler|Jodi}}.
{{quote|'''Grandmother Palmer''': They...they're just wrestling, Willie.
Line 209 ⟶ 207:
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Palmer and Willie.
* [[Silent Bob]]: Leon.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Gibbs, after his [[Face Heel Turn]].
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: Gibbs' shtick. He attempts to be suave and [[Magnificent Bastard|magnificent]], but this is sharply contrasted by his cruder tendencies and love of [[Flipping the Bird|flipping people off]].
Line 220 ⟶ 219:
* [[Talk to the Fist]]: Played with. Gibbs is trying to make his ransom demands and Palmer smashes the robot transmitting his signal. Gibbs just keeps taking over more robots until he finishes.
* [[The Stoic]]: Leon.
▲* [[Ted Baxter]]: Palmer and Sasha.
* [[This Is Gonna Suck]]: All over the place:
** The Martian carrier commander has two in the span of two minutes: "Fuck me in the ass." when Titan Force Five shows up and "Aw, mom's gonna get some bad news..." right before the carrier is destroyed by Titan Maximum.
