History Series / Terrahawks

* FiveManBand:
** Heroes:
*** TheLeader: "Tiger" Ninestein
*** TheLancer: Mary Falconer
*** TheSmartGuy: Hiro
*** TheBigGuy: Hawkeye
*** TheChick: Kate Kestrel
** Villains:
*** TheBigBad: Zelda
*** TheDragon: Yung-star (arguable, as he doesn't fully fit the description, but he's at least the closest match on the team)
*** TheEvilGenius: It-star
*** TheBrute: Whoever the MonsterOfTheWeek happens to be (failing that, this role usually falls to the Cubes)
*** TheDarkChick: Cy-star

* AlternativeForeignThemeSong: When shown in the US the end credit theme was replaced with one of Kate Kestrel's songs ("Living In The 21st Century"). The sequence of the Zeroids and Cubes playing tic-tac-toe was also replaced with a traditionally animated scene of a Zeroid bouncing up and down next to a Cube (and eventually smashing it). When it was dubbed into Japanese as ''Earth Protection Force Terrahawks'', they gave it the AnimeThemeSong treatment, adding traditionally animated sequences with brand new theme songs titled "Galactica Thrilling" and "Taisetsu na One Word" in addition to the original English Supermarionation/animation sequences and music.

* FantasticRacism: Ninestein's distrust of the zeroids (which sometimes borders on outright hatred) often comes across as this.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: ''Sure'' you were “enjoying the attention”, 101...

* PunnyName: "Ninestein". Serves as a ShoutOut to UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein, of course, while reflecting on the fact that he is one of nine clones (and as of "Gold," one of ''eight'' clones). See also AlanSmithee below.

* AlanSmithee: All but three episodes of the series - "The Midas Touch" and the two-part series opener "Expect The Unexpected" - have scripts credited to individuals with [[ThemeNaming names ending in "-stein"]] (examples: "Doppelganger" was penned by Albert Zweistein, "Terratomb" by Edward E. Barestein, "Space Cyclops" by Lita Beerstein, etc.) Most episodes were actually written by script editor and Anderson regular Tony Barwick (who's credited under that name on "The Midas Touch").
