4	''LEGO Galaxy Squad'' is a Franchise/{{LEGO}} Theme released in 2013. Succeeding ''[[Toys/LegoAlienConquest Alien Conquest]]'', this Toys/LegoSpace theme centers around humans and robots teaming up against [[InsectoidAliens insects in space]]. Story-wise, it serves as a continuation of ''Monster Fighters''[[note]]the alien threat being unleashed by that theme's BigBad[[/note]] and was followed up by [[Toys/LegoUltraAgents Ultra Agents]].
5	----
6	!!Tropes:
7	* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: A few set names, like the Crater Creeper and Vermin Vaporizer.
8	* AlienAbduction: The Buggoids have purple pods with which to capture humans for unknown purposes.
9	* BugWar: The Galaxy Squad is fighting the Buggoids seemingly to stop the latter from abducting humans and expanding their swarm.
10	* CastHerd: There are ten heroic characters in total (six humans and four robots), split into four teams.
11	* ColorCodedCharacters: There are four differently-colored teams in the Galaxy Squad: Blue, Red, Orange and Green, each with their own specialty:
12	** Blue: Technology
13	** Red: [[RedOnesGoFaster Speed]]
14	** Orange: Firepower
15	** Green: Defense
16	* CombiningMecha: The turret section of Vermin Vaporizer can separate into a MiniMecha piloted by the Green Robot. The Eradicator Mech has a small ship portion that can detach. Otherwise, many of the Galaxy Squad's other vehicles are the "combining vehicles" variation.
17	* FragileSpeedster: The Red team, focused on speed, exclusively use small, quick-moving vehicles that are light on defense.
18	* InsectoidAliens: Come in many varieties. The humanoid types are the Buggoid (generic insect), Mosquitoid and Mantizoid. They all appear to have grown from larval forms found in the sets. There's also giant brick-built bugs.
19	* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: The [[PaletteSwap red Buggoids]] appear to be higher-ranked than their green counterparts due to being rarer and piloting bigger vehicles (the large Star Slicer).
20	* LukeNounverber: Ashlee Starstrider plays it the straightest with the noun + verb surname, but most of the other human characters also have futuristic-sounding compound words for last names.
21	* MechanicalInsects: All of the Buggoids' vehicles are modeled after insects. The Warp Stinger is a mosquito, the Star Slicer is a mantis, and the smaller side builds of "Bug Obliterator" and "Vermin Vaporizer" appear to be a dragonfly and scorpion respectively. The rest don't really resemble any specific type of insect.
22	* MoreDakka: Orange team's specialty. Their vehicles are loaded with missile launchers and their robot carries a {{BFG}} in both of its set appearances.
23	* MosquitoMiscreants: The Mosquitoids are a common Mook type, and their iconic vehicle, the Warp Stinger, is also designed after a mosquito.
24	* PaletteSwap: While the main three types of Buggoids have unique head molds, the red Buggoids are the basic green Buggoids but with inverted colors (the green Buggoids have small red markings and vice-versa).
25	* SlayingMantis: The Star Slicer is a giant mechanized mantis that [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin slices]] things with its claws.
26	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Ashlee Starstrider of the Orange Team is the only female (human, at least) in the theme.
27	* SpaceMarine: The titular squad, an elite unit who fight in space with high-tech weaponry.
28	* StealthSequel: ''Galaxy Squad'' is actually a sequel to ''Toys/LegoMonsterFighters'', although this continuity isn't obvious from any of the sets or promotional media. As shown in a ''LEGO Club Magazine'' comic, the Buggoids are attracted to Earth because of a beacon of light emanated from Lord Vampyre's castle, and therefore the Galaxy Squad must intercept them before they invade Earth. Later, ''Galaxy Squad'' received its own StealthSequel: ''Toys/LegoUltraAgents'', which stars Solomon Blaze after retiring from Galaxy Squad but once again does not advertise this continuity in most media.
