* TheHeavy: Prelude acts as this for the majority of the second season.
* TheHorde: Most Emotispecters (Warlord Kroz's species) are like this.

Added DiffLines:

* ActionGirl: Moranna Ceres. Though she begins as a DarkActionGirl, this lasts for all of about one full episode and a half before she joins Tech's team.


Added DiffLines:

* BigBadEnsemble: Dethrouge and The Puppet Master are the two Big Bads for the first season, which ultimately results in a VillainTeamUp in the season finale.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Determinator}}: Napoleon Eldridge. Fitting, seeing as how he's supposed to represent your typical Shōnen protagonist.


Added DiffLines:

* DitzyGenius: Napoleon Eldridge is your average hot-headed, logic-defying, common sense-ignoring Shōnen-style protagonist; he also happens to be a genius in academic pursuits, especially Linguistics.


Added DiffLines:

* GreaterScopeVillain: The Anti-Life Entity is eventually revealed as the driving force behind the plans of a few major villains.


Added DiffLines:

* HumanoidAliens: Just like the source material, most of the aliens in this series are of the humanoid variety. Eventually explained as the result of a cyclical energy that tends to force sentient species into a humanoid shape during evolution.
* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: Once Tech becomes semi-immortal, he 'dies' several times throughout the rest of the series.


Added DiffLines:

* MinovskyPhysics: The rules for how spacetime works in this series have been extensively laid out in a text known as Panglar's Theorem of Timeline Relativity.


Added DiffLines:

* MythArc: The entire series revolves around the potential arrival of the Anti-Life Entity, [[spoiler:which eventually happens in the series finale]].


Added DiffLines:

* TheDragon: Prelude is ultimately revealed to act as this for the Anti-Life Entity.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: This is how Kroz gained his position as ruler of the Emotispecters.


Added DiffLines:

* GeniusBruiser: Warlord Kroz is a Leader-class Emotispecter, and has the physique and battle scars to prove it; on the other hand, he apparently possess enough knowledge and mental fortitude to be granted access to the normally restricted [[{{GreatBigLibraryOfEverything}} Archives of Oberon.]]


Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:

* BizarreAlienBiology: Pretty much every alien fits this to a tee, though special mention goes to Overtide, an alien made almost solely out of ice and water that may or may not just be a walking suit for sentient algae.
* CerebusRollercoaster: This series tends to switch between light and dark at will, for better or for worse.


Added DiffLines:

* PrecisionFStrike: Tech attempts to drop one in the eighth episode, but gets [[{{CurseCutShort}} interrupted by a scene cut]].
* Really700YearsOld: Xr. Nullamor is revealed to have been around in Ancient Egypt around 1790 BC, despite presenting himself as a much more recently born person.

* AnimalisticAbomination: The Creature from Into The Pit certainly qualifies as one.



* AwesomeButImpractical: A few of Tech's alien forms are this.
** Destructorb is pretty much a living nuclear bomb, but can't control any explosion he starts.
** Rockoustic is powerful enough to destroy a planet with one blow, but is incredibly clumsy.
** Mysticon is a straight-up RealityWarper, but lacks anything resembling common sense.
* AxCrazy: Surprisingly [[{{JustifiedTrope}} Justified]]; Blyte and other violently insane lifeforms come about as a result of [[{{EldritchAbomination}} The Void]]'s interference. It's even pointed out that most mentally ill people don't usually end up hurting anyone but themselves.
* ComesGreatInsanity: Blyte is an incredibly powerful combiner alien, but his base form's contradictory nature turns him into this trope.



* EldritchAbomination: The Void counts as one, and even introduces itself as such.
-->'''The Void''': Oh, I'm not a lifeform, at least not in the way you might think of one. Think of me more as a sentient force of nature, or your friendly neighborhood Eldritch Abomination here to tell you you've made a terrible mistake.



* LaughingMad: Blyte does this when he first wakes up; when questioned by Kroz on this, he simply expresses disappointment at Kroz not 'getting the joke'.



* SlasherSmile: Blyte has '''four''' of these.
* SuperMode: The [=SpecTrix=]'s 'Evolution' function can basically activate this for any transformation.

----
!!Tech 10: Rebooted contains examples of:

*AffablyEvil: Warlord Kroz is a perfectly decent person to be around if you aren't fighting him.
*AngstWhatAngst: Tech has been in multiple life-threatening situations, and has displayed at most slight displeasure at this.
*AntiHero: Tech fights more for what he believes is 'justice', whether or not that fits in with anyone else's definition.
*AntiVillain: Warlord Kroz prefers to fight fairly using the Galactic Code of Conduct.
*ArmsDealer: Alvono was in forced labor for one until Tech managed to bust the operation.
*DarkerAndEdgier: Where the original Tech 10 continuity was overly simplified and optimistic, this series takes a somewhat more realistic take on the matter.
*GalacticConqueror: Kroz has fairly won rule over around 72 planets, though he doesn't seem to actually do anything with them.
*GoodIsNotNice: All three main protagonists fall under this, each having a unique form of rudeness and sarcasm.
*HotBlade: The Pyronaut Blade Tech owns has the ability to cut through most armor when at full temperature.
*KnightInSourArmor: Tech seems to operate under the first personality type.
*NobleDemon: Kroz sticks to a moral code seemingly of his own invention at all times.
