Just to makes things clear, Road Rovers was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and focuses much more on comedy than the action. Imagine if Animaniacs did a a bit parodying Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but with dogs and you'll get the idea.

Specifically, the Rovers were a group of stray dogs who are [[HumanityEnsues temporarily turned humanlike]] by a mysterious scientist known as "The Master"(No, not [[Series/DoctorWho THAT Master]], [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer THAT one]] [[ManosTheHandsOfFate or THIS one). They save the world from villains including General Parvo, who was trying to take over the world by turning dogs and other animals into monsters, while in their free time acting as the beloved pets of world leaders (such as Queen Elizabeth II and President Bill Clinton). The fact that the dogs were all pets of world dignitaries at least added an interesting twist, as they sometimes had to work in their 'civilian' identities to convince their owners not to go to war.

->"''Let's hit the road, Rovers!''"
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/RoadRovers.jpg]]
Road Rovers was a short-lived animated series (1 season, 13 episodes), which told the story of "The Road Rovers". They were (stop us if you think that you've [[TeenageMutantSamuraiWombats heard this one before]]) a group of ordinary animals who become [[PettingZooPeople anthropomorphic]] [[AnimalSuperheroes superheroes]] and use their special abilities and gadgets to [[TheyFightCrime fight crime]].
Specifically, the Rovers were a group of stray dogs who are [[HumanityEnsues temporarily turned humanlike]] by a mysterious scientist known as "The Master"[[hottip:*:No, not [[Series/DoctorWho THAT Master]] or [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer THAT one]] [[ManosTheHandsOfFate or THAT one]]]]. They save the world from villains including General Parvo, who was trying to take over the world by turning dogs and other animals into monsters, while in their free time acting as the beloved pets of world leaders (such as Queen Elizabeth II and President Bill Clinton). The fact that the dogs were all pets of world dignitaries at least added an interesting twist, as they sometimes had to work in their 'civilian' identities to convince their owners not to go to war.
----
!!Tropes:
* TheAce: Hunter
* ActionGirl: Colleen.
* [[AnIcePerson An Ice Doggie]]: Exile.
* AnimalSuperheroes
* AndroclesLion
* AsideGlance: Colleen, so often that she borders on a {{Fourth Wall Observer}}.
** Hunter does it too, usually when delivering one of his catch phrases.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Never make the Rovers mad. Especially not Hunter, Colleen, or Shag.
* BlueEyes: Colleen and Exile have these.
* BoisterousBruiser: Exile
* BrainyBrunette: Colleen has her moments of this.
* TheCameo: One episode ends with a villain sent away to an insane asylum for megalomaniacs. [[PinkyAndTheBrain The Brain]]'s voice is heard among the inmates, followed by a closing shot identical to the one at the end of every ''PinkyAndTheBrain'' episode, complete with theme song.
* CatchPhrase / RunningGag:
-->'''Blitz:''' ''[insert statement involving his desire to bite the rumps of his enemies]''
-->'''Exile:''' Don't be weird boy.
** More running gags involve Shag pointing weapons backwards. Subverted when he has it right to begin with and someone tells him to turn it around, which he blithely does.
** And when they release their AxCrazy friend, Muzzle, on the bad guys with a shout of "Let's Muzzle 'em!" Cue GoryDiscretionShot.
*** Eventually the Rovers get bored watching Muzzle constantly maul the bad guys and engage in other activities, like watching TV or [[ShoutOut playing poker]]. [[HammerSpace Where they]] ''[[HammerSpace get]]'' [[HammerSpace these props from is never explained.]]
** Colleen pretending not to know Blitz's name and instead calling him other more amusing B names until the last episode.
** "Yet Another Unexpected Twist!... Bummer."
*** Hunter had a ''ton'' of catch phrases, the above is just one of them. Other's include "I would ''not'' have predicted this!" and "[X], Cool."
** The show pretty much runs on running gags. Some more include Colleen saying completely random and nonsensical things when doing her martial arts, Exile completely butchering several idioms at once, and [[HuskyRusskie the Russian Exile]] complaining about people always [[IncrediblyLamePun "rushin'"]] him.
** And then there's General Parvo...
---> '''Parvo:''' ''[Coughing uncontrollably] Lozenge!''
* CloudCuckoolander: Many characters qualify for this, but Hunter and Colleen specifically stand out in this area.
* DirtyCoward: Blitz, for laughs.
* DogStereotype
** DogsAreDumb is averted though, if anything it's more like "Dogs are little weird."
*** Which is TruthInTelevision.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The theme song is sung by the main cast.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Colleen.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase
* ExpositoryThemeTune: Tells us how the dogs all got here, tells us what all their names are, what their super powers are, where they are from, and their personality all at INCREDIBLY rapid speed. Seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRcXRiZpxGI here.]]
* EyeBeams: Exile and the Master (sort of).
* FakeNationality: Everyone but Hunter though Colleen could easily be taken for Australian given where her accent drifts off to sometimes.
* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Extremely obvious in the second episode, where two attack helicopters are fitted with rocket pods. Guess what they shoot? ''Lasers.'' [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy Mildly]] subverted in episode 6 when three F/A-18/Su-25 lookalikes open fire on our heroes with regular machine guns. They're about as realistic as a potato in a root beer factory, but they're there.
* FiveManBand: Enforced
** TheHero - Hunter
** TheLancer - Blitz
** TheSmartGuy - Exile
** TheBigGuy - Shag
** TheChick - Colleen
** SixthRanger - Muzzle
* FragileSpeedster: Subverted with Hunter, who's not as strong as Blitz or Exile, but sturdier than Colleen or Shag and runs faster than all of them put together.
* FridgeBrilliance: General Parvo's hatred of the Road Rovers and the reason he's always coughing makes perfect sense when [[spoiler: you see his helmet removed and realize that he has cat ears, making him part cat and that he was coughing up hairballs the whole time.]]
* FridgeLogic: How the Rovers react in the first episode, and several other places. It gets worse when the Rovers call attention to the fact that they haven't got any idea of how to fly jets or drive cars. That doesn't stop them from knowing what an ignition is, or how to stay on the road. Or how not to crash into the ground.
** Also, in "A Hair Of The Dog That Bit You", [[spoiler: if Colleen was the werewolf and not Exile, then how did giant claw marks end up on the inside of the door to Exile's room?]]
*** We probably don´t want to know...
*** The door wasn't even locked, so it could just be a simple frame-up.
** In one episode, the leaders of the world were hypnotized into starting a war with each other once the moon came out. So how did the moon come out in several different parts of the world ''at the same time?''
* GlassCannon: Colleen could use her martial arts to take down almost any opponent, but she was the smallest and least sturdy of the Rovers.
* GratuitousGerman: Averted with Blitz, who most of the time just talks like TheAhnold, but the chancellor of Germany in one episode ordered his men, over the phone, to "stop the Blitzkrieg!".
* GeniusBruiser: Exile is quite muscular AND skilled with mechanics.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: It worked only once. While discussing [[{{Patronymic}} Russian names]] they used the example of "Sonov". Add that to the patronymic suffix "-ovich" and you'll see why that song got cut for later airings. See the video [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K46McMq9IF4&feature=channel_page here]]. To be fair, the dogs probably wouldn't see this as much of an insult, as they ''all'' are.

* HotAmazon: Colleen.

** The HoYay is particularly noticeable between Exile and Blitz. Besides the MistakenDeclarationOfLove mentioned below, several episodes have some scene where one of the two is hugging, kissing, or getting in an unfortunate position with the other for comedic effect.

*** He also invites her to chase/chew on tennis balls with him at the end of ''Hair of the Dog''.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: The ''entire cast''. Except for Hunter.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/RoadRovers.jpg]]
Road Rovers was a short-lived animated series (1 season, 13 episodes), which told the story of "The Road Rovers". They were (stop us if you think that you've [[TeenageMutantSamuraiWombats heard this one before]]) a group of ordinary animals who become [[PettingZooPeople anthropomorphic]] [[AnimalSuperheroes superheroes]] and use their special abilities and gadgets to [[TheyFightCrime fight crime]].
Specifically, the Rovers were a group of stray dogs who are [[HumanityEnsues temporarily turned humanlike]] by a mysterious scientist known as "The Master"[[hottip:*:No, not [[Series/DoctorWho THAT Master]] or [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer THAT one]] [[ManosTheHandsOfFate or THAT one]]]]. They save the world from villains including General Parvo, who was trying to take over the world by turning dogs and other animals into monsters, while in their free time acting as the beloved pets of world leaders (such as Queen Elizabeth II and President Bill Clinton). The fact that the dogs were all pets of world dignitaries at least added an interesting twist, as they sometimes had to work in their 'civilian' identities to convince their owners not to go to war.
----
!!Tropes:
* TheAce: Hunter
* ActionGirl: Colleen.
* [[AnIcePerson An Ice Doggie]]: Exile.
* AnimalSuperheroes
* AndroclesLion
* AsideGlance: Colleen, so often that she borders on a {{Fourth Wall Observer}}.
** Hunter does it too, usually when delivering one of his catch phrases.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Never make the Rovers mad. Especially not Hunter, Colleen, or Shag.
* BlueEyes: Colleen and Exile have these.
* BoisterousBruiser: Exile
* BrainyBrunette: Colleen has her moments of this.
* TheCameo: One episode ends with a villain sent away to an insane asylum for megalomaniacs. [[PinkyAndTheBrain The Brain]]'s voice is heard among the inmates, followed by a closing shot identical to the one at the end of every ''PinkyAndTheBrain'' episode, complete with theme song.
* CatchPhrase / RunningGag:
-->'''Blitz:''' ''[insert statement involving his desire to bite the rumps of his enemies]''
-->'''Exile:''' Don't be weird boy.
** More running gags involve Shag pointing weapons backwards. Subverted when he has it right to begin with and someone tells him to turn it around, which he blithely does.
** And when they release their AxCrazy friend, Muzzle, on the bad guys with a shout of "Let's Muzzle 'em!" Cue GoryDiscretionShot.
*** Eventually the Rovers get bored watching Muzzle constantly maul the bad guys and engage in other activities, like watching TV or [[ShoutOut playing poker]]. [[HammerSpace Where they]] ''[[HammerSpace get]]'' [[HammerSpace these props from is never explained.]]
** Colleen pretending not to know Blitz's name and instead calling him other more amusing B names until the last episode.
** "Yet Another Unexpected Twist!... Bummer."
*** Hunter had a ''ton'' of catch phrases, the above is just one of them. Other's include "I would ''not'' have predicted this!" and "[X], Cool."
** The show pretty much runs on running gags. Some more include Colleen saying completely random and nonsensical things when doing her martial arts, Exile completely butchering several idioms at once, and [[HuskyRusskie the Russian Exile]] complaining about people always [[IncrediblyLamePun "rushin'"]] him.
** And then there's General Parvo...
---> '''Parvo:''' ''[Coughing uncontrollably] Lozenge!''
* CloudCuckoolander: Many characters qualify for this, but Hunter and Colleen specifically stand out in this area.
* DirtyCoward: Blitz, for laughs.
* DogStereotype
** DogsAreDumb is averted though, if anything it's more like "Dogs are little weird."
*** Which is TruthInTelevision.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The theme song is sung by the main cast.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Colleen.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase
* ExpositoryThemeTune: Tells us how the dogs all got here, tells us what all their names are, what their super powers are, where they are from, and their personality all at INCREDIBLY rapid speed. Seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRcXRiZpxGI here.]]
* EyeBeams: Exile and the Master (sort of).
* FakeNationality: Everyone but Hunter though Colleen could easily be taken for Australian given where her accent drifts off to sometimes.
* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Extremely obvious in the second episode, where two attack helicopters are fitted with rocket pods. Guess what they shoot? ''Lasers.'' [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy Mildly]] subverted in episode 6 when three F/A-18/Su-25 lookalikes open fire on our heroes with regular machine guns. They're about as realistic as a potato in a root beer factory, but they're there.
* FiveManBand: Enforced
** TheHero - Hunter
** TheLancer - Blitz
** TheSmartGuy - Exile
** TheBigGuy - Shag
** TheChick - Colleen
** SixthRanger - Muzzle
* FragileSpeedster: Subverted with Hunter, who's not as strong as Blitz or Exile, but sturdier than Colleen or Shag and runs faster than all of them put together.
