I'm not familiar with the comic, but in the movie I did get a kick outta the 'plasma bugs'. "Plasma Bugs – Bigger than the Tanker Bugs, Plasma Bugs have a rather nasty ability to fire huge, volatile globs of plasma from their rear ends at airborne or distant targets. They are first encountered on Pluto." I think they should be named Procto-Bugs.
Since the other 'Roughnecks' page was there first, this should have its useful material edited in, and then be turned into a 'redirect'. I did a few changes here, because it was the one I found.
I've got other stuff to do that I rate higher, so don't expect me to do any more.

Except to say the other page needs a 'spoiler alert'. --GwydionM 17:29, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
The character section should have a spoiler alert! Fegor 10:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title
What's the title on this? WP lists it as Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles and IMDB lists it as Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles. --Bensin 11:30, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
DVD COVER
The displayed image of DVD cover is not an official cover, but a bootleg cover. There is no single package legally available that includes all DVDs.
I suggest it be replaced with this image:
http://ec3.images-amazon.com/images/P/B0000648X4.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V1056710530_.jpg
Which is (unfortunately) the least cluttered looking one.
TITLE
The correct title seems to be "Roughnecks Starship Troopers Chronicles", in this order without "The". It is spelled this way on the title screen, all DVD covers + booklets and promotional material. Though the semi-colon is normally added for readability.
[edit] CHAS section abridged
I took the liberty of shortening the CHAS section. The character was only in 1 episode so it didn't seem appropriate that he had a longer blurb than Rico's. --RDBury (talk) 04:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Episode 33 "Homefront"
I could not find a source stating that this episode had been produced and aired, only that it had not been, so I removed the statement that it had not been included on DVD due to time constraints of preparing the DVD (seems rather it was not included because it didn't exist.)71.205.136.119 (talk) 02:06, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Bug list re-add
I re-added the bug list that was removed in Jan. The list could probably be trimmed some but I feel that deleting the entire list wholesale is not justified. The creatures on the list can be found at websites devoted to the series, specifically the STC archive, and an attempt has been made to summarize the information in these sites. Only creatures that appear in more than one episode, or who play a major role in a single episode are included. If more stringent criteria should be used then they should be discussed here rather than simply deleting the entire section. I feel that the alien creatures appearing in the show contribute as much to its character and enjoyment as the human characters and technology which have their own, perhaps overly detailed sections.--RDBury (talk) 00:36, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
