!!''Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars'' provides examples of the following tropes:



* WeUsedToBeFriends: Carl and Johnny have this between them, to both their regrets. While Johnny confides to Dizzy that he feels his best friend has gotten too big to be friends with, Dizzy ([[spoiler:who is really Carl]]) admits that Carl could have tried a little harder. [[spoiler:This is the reveal that Diz is actually a psychic hallucination when she suddenly asks,]] "Come on, Johnny! We're still friends, aren't we?"

* CharacterDevelopment: All of Rico's new recruits. They went form extremely incompetent and being unable to complete a training simulation without total failure, and even making fun of Johnny's command (including putting spoons in front of one eye to mock the fact Johnny has an eyepatch.)to fighting the bugs for real (albeit skiddish and a bit clumsy about it.) to being willing to fight alongside Johnny against the bugs and respecting him as a commander.
