* CompletelyDifferentTitle: in Latin America the show is named ''Invasión: La Serie'' (Lit. Invasion: The series) because the [[Film/{{StarshipTroopers}} 1997 film]] was titled ''Invasión'' (Invasion), however this is a case of InNameOnly since the animated series is more TruerToTheText.

* TroubledProduction: ''Big time''. Also overlapped with ScrewedByTheNetwork in certain cases-- it was syndicated by Creator/{{BKN}} ([[Creator/SonyPicturesTelevision Columbia Tristar Television]] licensing it to them), and as a result, it was supposed to air 5 episodes a week. But there weren't enough episodes ready yet, forcing BKN to rerun multiple episodes. Some stations aired the new episodes as they came in, even if they were already in the middle of a story arc. Then BKN went and sold the show simultaneously to what was then [[Creator/{{Syfy}} the Sci-Fi Channel]], pissing off Sony (and damaging Sony and Sci-Fi's relationship in the process). VFX house Flat Earth left the project midway; rumors said that they fell behind in their work for this show (being busy with ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'' and ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' at the same time), but it may have been because Sony kept delaying Flat Earth payment for their work, forcing them to pay for the ''Roughnecks'' work themselves and forcing them to leave when the financial stability of the company was called into question, delaying production of new episodes even further. As a result, several {{Clip Show}}s were pasted together to help fill the initial episode order. And combine all this with a dying syndicated market for animation, and being scheduled in unpalatable timeslots on both local stations and Sci-Fi (much like what had happened to ''WesternAnimation/{{Exosquad}}'' earlier in the decade), the show was canned with four episodes left unproduced.

* UnfinishedEpisode: The last four episodes were left unfinished due to the TroubledProduction, leaving the show to end with a cliffhanger and to make up for the 40-episode order, four {{clip show}}s were produced in its place. The dialogue of the episodes had been done at the time of the cancellation.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The show was originally intended to be a traditionally animated series.
