	"Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles" (1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		I first read the book STARSHIP TROOPERS when I was ten years old (now some 25+ years ago) and I have always loved that book.
		ROUGHNECKS does attempt to keep faith with the book, especially with the addition of the Skinnies, even in portraying them as they are in the book--allies, then enemies, then allies again.
		That's true, especially as all the characters in ROUGHNECKS were allowed to evolve, whereas on VOYAGER only Seven or the Doctor were really allowed to expand and grow.

		ROUGHNECKS: STARSHIP TROOPERS CHRONICLES is an animated TV show based upon the novel by Robert Heinlein that incorporates many of the elements from the novel as well as Columbia Tristar’s 1997 blockbuster STARSHIP TROOPERS.
		The Roughnecks are one of several squads sent beneath the surface of the planet to locate and destroy the source of the bug army, called "Bug City".
		The violence stems from the Roughnecks assaulting the Bugs with guns, grenades, and tanks, until the insects are reduced to mere green goo.

	Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles (Starship Troopers: The Series in the United Kingdom) was a CGI animated television series based on both the novel by Robert A. Heinlein and the 1997 film adaptation directed by Paul Verhoeven (who served as executive producer for the series).
		Tophet: The Roughnecks land on the methane-atmosphered desert world of Tophet, discovering an indigenous race which they dub "Skinnies." At first believed to be friendly, the Skinnies are revealed to be allied with the Bugs (though not by choice).
		Zephyr: The Roughnecks land on an ice asteroid in order to recover a toxin deadly to the Bugs when they discover that the asteroid is really a giant Bug itself, and fight to survive with limited oxygen and ammunition.

	Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles - Trackers (1999): Clancy Brown, Elizabeth Daily, David DeLuise, Rider ...
		The first time I saw Starship Troopers in 1997, I was taken with its top-notch special effects, brazen violence, and what I briefly thought of as unintentionally funny dialogue.
		Heinlein's bulky trooper armor, for example, appears in the animated series, rather than the film's visual emphasis on sexy bodies (and their gory ends).
		This take on Starship Troopers is vaguely faithful but never startling-even audiences who hated the film version, or thought it unintentionally funny, were somewhat jarred by the experience of watching it.

		The Roughnecks wend their way through multi-episode military campaigns in high style in a number of DVD releases from Columbia; this time we're taking a shot at some single-episode stories, and even taking a few moments of reflection on the whole war and the soldier's lot.
		Starship Troopers appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this double-sided, single-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation is produced by Jon Davison, with Phil Tippett directing.

	TechnoFILE Reviews "Roughnecks - Starship Troopers" on DVD
		Based on the Paul Verhoeven film "Starship Troopers," which in turn was loosely based on Robert A. Heinlein's classic science fiction novel of the same name, this is a computer-animated kids' series that's obviously designed for children.
		Razak's Roughnecks is a unit of the Mobile Infantry and its cap troopers have been sent to Pluto to wipe out what they think is a small infestation of enemy bugs.
		Unfortunately, "Roughnecks" means well, and it tries hard, but its kiddie target means that is has to work overtime not to be offensive to anyone.

		Episode 13: The Roughnecks trial a new robotic Roughneck, the Cybernetic Humanoid Assault System, which must learn the value of human life and what it truly means to be a soldier.
		Episode 15: The Roughnecks discover that the enemy ‘Skinnies’ are actually bug slaves and they set about freeing them, although Private Jenkins, the Roughnecks’ psychic, is disabled by the psychic battle with the chief Brain Bug.
		Paul Verhoeven, the original director of the film Starship Troopers (among others like Robocop), is executive producer on this series and his influence, albeit minor perhaps, is felt occasionally.

		Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles--The Pluto Campaign is a mini-platoon epic comprised of the initial five episodes of the series, essentially a series of skirmishes and assignments leading up to the climactic confrontation at Bug City.
		The characters of Roughnecks are very human, men and women who grow and develop as the series moves on and they face and defeat the challenges of living life during war-time.
		Starship Troopers started off as a novel written by Robert Heinlein that chronicled an interstellar war in the eyes of one of a soldier.

		Roughnecks debuted late in the summer of '99 and ran for nearly forty episodes (two season's worth) before it was cancelled.
		In that sense, no Roughnecks is not like the book - not a scrap of political theory to be found throughout - however, several of the characters and technologies are brought along for the ride.
		In the first installment the troopers are given a mission to capture a bug that they can pull information from.

	Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles - The Complete Campaigns DVD Review - MovieWeb
		I never saw the movie Starship Troopers, so when I was given Roughnecks to review, I wasn’t too excited.
		The mere spectacle of what has been drawn is nothing short of awesome, but the depth to which the CGI characters project emotion is something else to marvel at.
		While I never really took Starship Troopers (or it’s sequel) seriously, I have actually gained a lot of respect for it after watching the episodes that come with this box set.

		Episode 17: Rico, the last Roughneck to accept the new Skinny platoon member T’Phia, is forced to work with him to save the rest of the group.
		Originally created as 40 20-minute episodes, Roughnecks is a progressive animation aimed squarely at boys (or the boys within).
		Both are 4:3 with the first being for Roughnecks 2: Starship Trooper Chronicles: The Tesca Campaign and the second being for the groundbreakingly awful Krull.

		When the pilot Carmen Ibanez is forced to crash land their powerful spaceship on icy, unpredictable terrain, heroic Rico, Flores, T’Phai and the rest set out to complete their work: finding a powerful toxin they can use against the deadly ‘bugs’ taking over the universe.
		What they encounter instead are fire-breathing insects and asteroid-shaking earthquakes which plunge the Troopers and their ship further into the center of the planet.
		Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles has been an entertaining series thus far, albeit not quite as entertaining as the movie it was partially patterned after.

		Up next is a particular spot on the planet that seems to be swallowing troopers at an alarming rate, leaving no trace of where entire squads have disappeared to.
		A particularly clear example is the rock spire that one of the troopers is stuck on at 13:55.
		One interesting thing that is pointed out is the little Easter eggs that the animators sneak in at times - in one scene there is a little grey alien on the front of one of the trooper's boats - this is the mascot of 'grey team'.

	dOc DVD Review: Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles—The Tophet Campaign (2001)
		Johnny Rico and his Roughneck squadron are among the small number of troops assigned to perform special missions on Tophet, most of which are designed to locate bug activity and mark it for air strike.
		The Roughnecks usually have to fight off masses of bugs or overcome some other kind of danger, and that's about the limitations of the stories.
		If I had any complaints, it would be that the machine guns the Roughnecks use emit a rather 'wimpy' sound, so their weapons sound really flat compared to rest of the activity.

	Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles: The Pluto Campaign DVD Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		"Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles: The Pluto Campaign" is not a sequel to the hit sci-fi film of 1997, but rather a television adaptation with a heavy influence from Verhoeven's vision of the novel and an opportunity to portray elements that could not be depicted in the feature film due to budgetary restraints.
		The question of whether or not the "bugs" can be reasoned with and the propaganda used to lull enlistment is briefly touched upon in the film.
		The animation by Foundation Imaging is excellent and DVD is the best way to enjoy "Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles: The Pluto Campaign" with a (1.33:1) aspect ratio preserving the original exhibition and the English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround is superb.
