History WesternAnimation / Motorcity

* AutomaticCrossbows: Terras have ones grown from plants ...
** AbnormalAmmo: ... which shoot seeds that quickly grow into [[WhenTreesAttack entangling plants]].

* ADayInTheLimelight: "Texas-ify It" for Texas, of course.

* {{Badass}}: Mike, most definitely. Even outside his ride, he can display [[CowboyBebop Spike Spiegel]]-level martial arts.

* BerserkButton: [[{{TheDitz}} Tooley]] gets surprisingly violent at people speaking ill of Kane--sadly, [[{{TooDumbToLive}} he doesn't get any smarter.]]

* BoisterousBruiser: Texas, whose reaction to basically any situation is to punch it in the face. Even if it doesn't have a face. ''Especially'' of it doesn't have a face.

* FlippingTheTable: ...is not enough for Texas in "Ride The Lightning." [[{{UpToEleven}} He instead opts to swing it and smash it to bits]]. [[{{ManlyTears}} And then tear up.]]

* HeyItsThatVoice:
** Dutch is voiced by [[KenanAndKel Kel Mitchell]].
** Texas is voiced by Jess Harnell, best known for [[{{WesternAnimation/Animaniacs}} Wakko Warner]]
** Kane is voiced by MarkHamill.
** Jacob is voiced by BrianDoyleMurray, best known for [[WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack Captain K'nuckles]] and [[{{SpongebobSquarepants}} The Flying Dutchman]].
** It's hard to find any animation [[JimCummings Dr. Hudson's voice]] hasn't been in.

** Jacob is a lightly modified Goat from MegasXLR and Downtown.

** Episode 1 has Dutch suggest modifications to Mike's, one such modification being the addition of "[[{{Pokemon}} Magmortars]]".
** One scene in the first episode [[http://guts-n-effort.deviantart.com/art/Motorcity-101-Animation-304590030 has a bit of animation]] that the animator openly admitted [[http://i.imgur.com/I68eI.jpg was a reference to]] {{FLCL}}.

* TheDitz: Tooley. See also TooDumbToLive.
-->'''Kane:''' [[SurroundedByIdiots You are a thick-skulled dimwit of a manchild, Tooley]] ... but loyal!

* {{Butterface}}: [[spoiler: Kaia.]]

* PaintingTheMedium: The theme song is metal. Which would make sense given that this is a show about cars, but the term "Detroit metal" specifically refers to its auto industry.

* AnimalMotifs: The four main cars are named and designed after animals. For example, Mike's car Mutt not only has dog designs but the engine often ''literally'' snarls and growls.

** They also shoot lasers. Yes, Gunchucks.

* WorldHalfEmpty: Entire sections of old Detroit appear to be completely abandoned, and even the inhabited areas aren't that crowded.

* ScaryTeeth:[[spoiler: What the Terra's hide behind their gas masks.]]

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Kaia and most of the Terras.

* DefectorFromDecadence: Mike, Jacob, Dutch and Julie (to an extent). It's probable that a sizable chunk of the population of Motorcity used to live in Deluxe.

* DumbMuscle: Tooley, although he doesn't necessarily look the part. Also Texas, but he's less of a bully about it.

** With the [[HairDecorations right doodads]] to provide structure, it's not an impossible style to pull off. It would, however, be ridiculously high-maintenance.

* SecretKeeper: Julie's friend Claire.

* TheDitz: Tooley. See also TooDumbToLive.
-->'''Kane:''' [[SurroundedByIdiots You are a thick-skulled dimwit of a manchild, Tooley]] ... but loyal!
* ThirdPersonPerson: Texas.
* TooDumbToLive: Hey, Tooley? The hunter-killer robot only ''looks'' like a dog, and it doesn't need petting.
* TwitchyEye: Kane, about once an episode.

* SpoilerOpening: Kaia and the people of Terra are introduced as allies in the show proper, but given the fact that they appear alongside Kane in the opening sequence makes it easy to deduce that [[spoiler: they end up being foes of the Burners.]]

->'''Kaia''': Is everyone okay? I thought I heard a lady screaming.

* {{Butterface}}: [[spoiler:Kaia.]]

* CatGirl: Sort of; Julie's avatar has cat ear, adding to the AnimalMotifs

* TheDragon: Tooley

* MasterOfIllusion: one of 9 Lives' features.
* MakeMeWannaShout: one of Whiptail's features.

** Dutch: Whiptail (scorpion)
** Texas: Stronghorn (rhino)

* EvilGloating: Abraham Kane LOVES this.

** TheBigGuy: Texas.

** TheChick: Chuck. Screams like a girl, does whatever Mike says, and doesn't even have his own car.
