** More proof of T'Phai's badassery. In "The Face of Truth", after [[spoiler:he's freed from his Control Bug and the Roughnecks are storming the Xylon mine]], they tell him to sit tight while they handle things. During battle, Lieutenant Razak is hit by constrictor spray. Higgins goes to help him, but a skinny is sneaking up on them from behind. Abruptly, the enemy is zapped with an X-ray blast. The Roughnecks look up to see T'Phai sitting on a ledge above them, holding a gun nonchalantly.

* In "Hide N'Seek", the MI do the one thing that has ''never'' happened in any other ''Starship Troopers'' continuity: they [[SparedByTheAdaptation save Buenos Aires from the Bug Attack that would have destroyed it]].

** For perspective, this is the ''only'' continuity where Buenos Aires survives: in [[Literature/StarshipTroopers the original novel]] Buenos Aires is raided and destroyed off-page after the Skinnies reveal Earth's location, in [[Anime/StarshipTroopers the OVA series]] the aliens attack ''New'' Buenos Aires and while the MI kills them the city is destroyed in the battle, and [[Film/StarshipTroopers in the 1997 film]] it's [[ColonyDrop hit by a meteor]].

** One for the Queen for surviving the Roughnecks tracking her down and ''nuke her''. There's a reason [[CassandraTruth SICON doesn't believe Carl when he claims she's still alive]]: it shouldn't have been possible.

* Five Words: Higgins with a Missile Launcher. The timid reporter even manages to nail a Hopper threatening Lieutenant Razak. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfFunny.

* In the final produced episode, Rico is angsting over the fact that he is not prepared to be Lieutenant and trying to hand off command duties to [[SergeantRock Sgt. Zim.]] But Zim isn't having ''any'' of that: he tells Rico both he and Razak saw a leader in Rico from his days in Basic training, and that if Rico has any respect for Razak, he will not be wasting time worrying over whether Razak would approve of him as a replacement. Showing the final bit of CharacterDevelopment for Rico in this series, he gets it together and whips his squad into shape, putting together a plan to survive the Bug army besieging the outpost and [[NukeEm destroying the facility]] to take the Bugs out. Later in orbit, Carl tells Rico that of all the [=MI=] squads evacuating Hawaii, "Rico's Roughnecks" held out the longest and took out the most Bugs. Too bad [[CutShort production problems killed the series there...]]

* Carl's psychic duel with a Brain Bug, with [[YourHeadAsplode impressive results]].

to:

* In the final episode of the Hydora campaign, "Sole Survivor," Carl's BigDamnHeroes moment when he saves TheSquad from the Brain Bug's army with '''[[GunsAkimbo dual]] [[StuffBlowingUp triple-barreled rocket launchers]]'''. And then follows it up with a psychic duel with a the Brain Bug, with [[YourHeadAsplode impressive results]].


Added DiffLines:

* In the Klendathu episode "The Mission," Lt. Razak is weakened by the atmosphere of the planet and the team is forced to leave him behind while hoping a [[MacGyvering hastily thrown-together antidote]] will cure him. Later, the team is pinned down by Zander and his swarm of Imposter Bugs. Just as Zander is lecturing Rico on how surprise is the greatest weapon, who else comes swinging in (literally!) but Razak himself, catching ''everyone'' off guard.
* The ''Bugs'' get a massive awesome moment when in "Trackers," the conclusion of the Klendathu campaign, they launch nearly a hundred Transport Bugs all in a massive BatmanGambit to provide decoys for their Queen to escape. [[TheFederation SICON]] is completely fooled.
