Added DiffLines:

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Largely averted with Johnny, Rasczak, Carmen, Carl, Xander and Zim, who at the most bare no more than a very vague resemblance to the actors who played them in the movie (even Zim who's voiced by his movie actor Clancy Brown, doesn't look much like him). Though Dizzy curiously resembles Dina Meyer, the actress who played her in the movie (albeit with much shorter hair).


Added DiffLines:

* {{Flanderization}}: Whilst Dizzy in the movie did have a crush on Johnny and was implied to be jealous of Carmen, in this series however, her crush on Johnny and jealousy of Carmen borders at times on the level of an unhealthy obsession. Her hyperactivitive and competitive personality is also more pronounced in the series than in her movie counterpart.

* TwentyFourHourArmor: {{Justified}}: the MI troopers often find themselves on worlds with unbreathable or no atmosphere, and their insulated power suits keep them alive. Also, T'phai is ''never'' seen without armor after joining the Roughnecks due being a Skinny, thus breathing methane.

''Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles'' was an animated CGI series based on ''Literature/StarshipTroopers'', a novel by Creator/RobertAHeinlein that had long-lasting impact on the development of ScienceFiction and chronicled Earth's war against the Bugs, an insectoid alien species. The series combined elements of both [[Literature/StarshipTroopers the original novel]] and [[Film/StarshipTroopers the movie adaptation]] to create a hybrid series that retained the action/adventure story of the movie, but with additional characterization and personal relationships. The series followed the exploits of "[[TheSquad Razak's Roughnecks]]" throughout an ever-expanding BugWar.

* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** Leadership within the Bug horde was hinted at from the first campaign where the Roughnecks were discussing about the possibilities of Bugs having intelligence. There's also the missing personnel which the Roughnecks never found until the appearance of the Brain Bugs gave the audience an idea what happened to them.
** Upon entering the ship, Sequoia and finding Zander, Razak asks the Major what happened to the Sequoia's crew and Zander replying that he killed them. Of course, the Roughnecks assumed he was saying that he killed the bugs infesting the ship, the same bugs that had dog tags and armor on them.....
