  • I remember this now... now I just see it as globalist propaganda targeting youth before school in the mornings.

  • the video is really good, getting the ending screen before the intro ends? have to thumb down

  • It's been way too long since i've seen Roughnecks i god damn missed it

  • Wait...the "Bug City" was on the surface the whole time? And they didn't even see it? WTF?

  • my discusted bugbare about crackle that they never

    let crackle viewers in the uk to watch films like ghostbusters

    and etc you have to be a viewer in the usa to get the full advantage

    in which is not right for the americans to get all the good streaming

    movies and whilest we in the uk get all the rubbish stuff .

  • Oh come on guys, theres still a lot less adds then there are on TV and more importantly, thanks to those, we get to watch this show for free on the internet with pretty damn good quality. I think I can take 1 minutes of adds if it means I dont have to hunt down all the DVD (hell I dont even know if there are DVD of this show).

  • why would the plasma bug shoot at the hive, even if the troopers were there

  • What the hell is wrong with this thing?! Start stop start stop start stop! Its pissing me off!!

  • does anyone know where i can download all 7 videos 4 free ppl!

  • @doesykk61 bit torrent?

  • Looks cool, the only reason it got cancelled because nobody gave a shit.

  • 15:19 throw the poke-ball!

  • 5:19 throw the poke-ball!

  • i loved this show

  • god I thought Eva Longoria's face was cgi for a minute then

    bloomin make up ads lol

  • m night shamalama: What a twist!

  • holy crap! dual wield XD

    thank you Crackle for uploading this :)

  • Why this show "Crackle" (from Crackle Movies & Television website regarding Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles): As one of the most renowned Sci-Fi franchises, it inspired Halo and changed a generation of video gamers forever.

  • @KevinCorporation

    Not just Games. The original books spawned everything we have regarding "space marines" or anything of the like.

  • does anybody else watch this and think halo reach??

  • @LUCCARDI Well I haven't played Halo Reach yet, but I have played Halo 1,2,3. As you have probably noticed in this video, many of the ships, weapons, suits etc look very similar to the ones used throughout the Halo series. I believe that the developers of Halo were influenced from the roughneck series when they were designing the game. In fact, the Roughneck series was created in the late 90's versus Halo which was made in the early 2000's. Regardless, both Halo and this show are great.

  • @LM309 I think I heard somewhere that one of Halo's developers worked on Roughnecks.

  • @LM309

    Well, Halo was probably being developed while this show was running. At earliest it was being worked on since 97-8

  • AWWW MAN, this is OG right here.....I remember watching this while I get ready for school.

  • This is my fav show, can't wait until it is back I just caught up online at seevstreaming (.) com

  • LOL Nicorette ad! Nicorette...*shark bites his arm*Nicorette...Nicorette...Ni­corette...mmm.....SHARK!!! SHARK!!! SHARK!!!

  • 2:00 You know, if they never sleep, they're going to kill someone accidentally. Further sleep deprivation is going to get someone murdered.

    (at the end) Um hello? Airstrike!

  • that look like a bug mix with some kinda space ship

  • Fuck no this is not halo halo dont got bugs just paracites

  • Halo???

  • the theme music is fucking awful!

  • the cg might have sucked, but we never had it so good. this was better than the movie, it followed the book while maintaining the sweet detail od the bugs that the movies produced. +1 to the animators of this show. it brings a darker side to "cartoon" that most americans never understand or see.

  • @skingraph666 Uhh...Followed the book? Not at all! This was even farther from the book that the movie was plot-wise! :/ The only thing remotely similar was that it had the skinnies (Who in the book were not 'enslaved' by the arachnids, but fought with them of their own free will because of Humans trying to force them off their planets) and the idea of a single man being worth a platoon of modern day infantry. I did like this series though, it was very very well done as we speak, (More to add)

  • @skingraph666 as we speak, I'm painting some of the gaming minis that were made by Mongoose Publishing. In fact, I'm working on cap troopers and taking a break now and then to assemble some of my Rippler bugs. :P Recently picked up a used pack of the Roughneck themselves and currently have them soaking in Pine-sol to strip off the previous owner's shitty paint job so I can make them look at least semi-decent.

  • @WolfFawkeswell thier drop capsules(for lack of a better term) were from the book, but skinnies being, enslaved not enslaved no biggie, being enslaved gives more of an underdog feel,:), im only 27, my father use to read the book to me here and there when i was younger... never read the book front to back, the figurines sound awesome are they pewter figurines like warhammer?

  • @skingraph666 Warhammer uses plastic. :P And some are metal, some are plastic. With warhammer it seems they tried to make the core, important units out of White Metal. Which makes them expensive, but nearly indestructible. I know having dropped my Wolf Guard captain a few times already while painting him. The Starship Troopers game though is out of production. You can get alot of the stuff on ebay still. Mostly plastics for around 1/2 to 1/3 their old MSRP. If you want more info, just PM me. :D

  • If Bug City was above ground couldn't they just look for it from orbit? Seems like a waste of time for ground teams

  • @brotherofAnubus Yeah but which is more fun also the anti aircraft bugs

  • i really feel bad for Higgans, "Higgans," *clip falls out of gun* "Take cover and wait for the all clear."

  • 5:40. THAT would be my girl friend if she was real.

  • This came out a year after the first half life. SO how could it rip off 2?

  • And what are you talking about? what bugs from HL2?

  • these ads kill the atmoshphere so much not to mention the fact they show up a the worst time

  • @lasallerocker421

    As much as i agree with your comment, you are forgetting one thing, the ads pay for these videos. I hate the ads too, but a video with ads is better then no video at all.

  • their suits do look simlier to master chiefs suit the whole of what master chief looks like lol

  • 3:54

    Higgens fail

  • From an Ex solider gotta love the funny in this:.oh and solider up lock and load let's kill some bugs.

    and why not just have a recon team watching for that big bug and follow it then blast it to nothing first we learn from the enemy then we kill them.

  • wth is that honda shit?

  • hey you know what this show also reminds me of its an anime called Blue gender

  • dont forget about the japanese animation short lived tvshow..I think it was 5to8 episodes long. And followed the book closer then the movie did. Its funny hearing japs trying to say spanish names "Carmencita!" "Inez!" "Joanny!" *Johnny*

  • That is one be bug... others who think spolier just wait till you see...

  • Oh, man... those eyes... nice detail, there...

  • Gossard is one crazy bastard.

  • Forgot to include Warhammer 40K; it was released in 1987

  • Starship Troopers as "Starship Soldier", was published in October and November of 1959. Starship Troopers (first film) was released in 1997. Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles aired on PAx network in August of 1999. Halo: Combat Evolved was released on November 15, 2001.

  • @shawncat thank you for finally showing people the truth of "who did it first" that should stop a lot of spam in the comments.

  • @zack6220 halo ce and this have little to nothing the same and if u want to go far there were shows that took place in space even before color tv

  • @MrDeathshot96 exactly my point, i just hate having people argue in the comments about who did it first rather than watching a kick ass show for its time, and agreeing halo is a good series if you're into those games but honestly i hated the games that came after halo 1.

  • @shawncat you need to find a copy of GRUMBLES FROM THE GRAVE. I mean it....you will have the last from RAH....Including his lecture, THE PRAGMATICS OF PATRIOTISM. the novel, one of his most controversial and that Lecture make up one of the most compelling divergent views of ethics.....

  • guys stop saying stuff like this came 1st and stole this and that. ppl will always believe whatever they saw 1st came 1st and very few will bother to check if u tell them.

  • Yeah, that seems to run rampant among YouTube users like a plague

  • Hole crap! The plot thickens with this epidsode. Good character development in this one to

  • Comment removed

  • this is a lot older than warhammer 40k i remember this when i was 5. i didn't really understand it then, but i was 5 so you couldn't expect much. all i knew was army plus laser guns equal lots of fun.

  • anuther thing is that warhammer 40k inspired lots of thing like this and play warhammer 40k dawn of war 2 it has the

    tyranids

  • As has been pointed out in other places, Starship Troopers is from a novel that's decades older than Warhammer 40k by Games Workshop- the 'bugs' as written by Heinlien are indeed older than the Tyranids, and same for his rendition of power armor to Space Marines.

  • starship troopers is like warhammer 40k its older than this an one of the ailens in it look like bugs there called tyranids just google the tyranids

  • @stopmen44 Wrong.

  • this show is awesome

  • realy the plazma has to come out its ass

  • DON"T FEED THEM BEANS!!!

  • Listening to this episodes with headphones on I've realized that the music on this show is really good

  • higgins..."mag falls"...just take cover

  • i love the theme song of this show....gives yeh the goosebumps ^^

  • what i dont get is why they dont just give up pluto. obviously the bugs have been living there for a really long time. we should just go to a different planet.

  • They can't give up Pluto. If they do, it won't be a planet anymore! Wait...

  • oh srry wish they made game of this show now

  • They made an RTS for Starship Trooper but it's really old now and I'm not sure if it's good or not

  • They do have a starship troopers game I think

  • they do

  • they did its called Starship Troopers: Maruader its way old its like a downgraded Halo1 in the sense its really old and everything from starship troopers is in Halo.

  • can u list hte names

  • i love this but the only thing i dont like is the lack of human blood and a few casualities, i mean the movie had people die left and right and this show have them survive every adventure with small wounds

  • I dunno, one guy lost his entire forearm in the last episode.

  • yea, but that was prosthetic, so that doesn't really count. Besides, when this came out it was trying to be a saturday morning cartoon, and blood and death was real taboo back then.

  • But compare this to shitty modern cartoons, and you can see violence from the days of yore (lol 10-ish years ago) you'll realize we've actually REDUCED the amount of violence in kids cartoons. Kinda lame if you ask me.

  • @clintsaunders I take this show over garbage like gumball and adventure time.

  • if u watched the original live action movie, ya see dizzy in a class with Razzak as her teacher. he actually lost his arm in the first campain and has a robot one he lost in the last eppisode.

  • wats a cg

  • lol u must be very younge, cgi is computer generated grahpics

  • Ya know, Crackle we are not stupid. We all got the idea about U of P from the very first commercial. You don't need to add it twice more. If anything it makes me not want to have anything to do with them.

  • this show is the bomb, tho there were some problims in this show, it still kicks but, i mean, look were we are now, w/o this show, there might not have been a Halo trilogy, or a Lost Planet game, just look at the alians on Lost Planet, they resemble the bugs alittle.

  • I think thats a bit of a stretch. I'm sure halo had a lot of diffrent things factor into it, especially the Alien movies. And lets face it, alien bugs are not exactly that unique.

  • i gues ur right. but i stil think the bugs look like the aliens on Lost Planet.

  • nope this came before lost planet ws little beat cuase capcom play style irradtes the hell out of people

  • i know that! i didn't say anything of that sort, i just said the alians "looked" like the things of of lost planet. i never said anything about what came first. but whenever i do play lost planet i enjoy it.

  • wel the intro is right

  • I still love the intro for this show

  • lol, "higgens, *mag drops*, take cover, wait for the all-clear" xD

  • shes claustrophobic wow shes afraid of santa claus lol just kidding.

  • why doess pluto have a atmospheric glow and friction? also didnt razaks arm get biten off

  • Razak's arm was robotic so they just replaced it with another one

  • well, i think pluto has been terraformed and without a doubt in my mind its in one of the bugs stomachs

  • dont these guy know how to aim. dam this is worse than MoH

  • damn Pluto sux no wonder we kicked it out

  • loove i can watch these on youtube thanks

  • god the cg sucked back then

  • yes well, I have seen worse both before and after this.

    Also I don't really care about that, I love the story and the caracters.

  • well cg's might have sucked back then, but the shows were still worth watching, instead today you have good cg's and garbage plots :P

  • lol so true

  • @uzernam302 not only does the cg suck, but the voice acting is horrible and the story sucks to boot.

  • @zev007 lol isnt this like episode 20 or so? if you dislike the show that much why in the world are you still watching this far into it?

    and anyway i had no problem with the voices or the story. found the former just fine and the latter interesting.

  • @uzernam302 As a matter of fact, I have no idea what episode this is. I decided to look this show up after reading something about it on wikipedia and this is the link I followed. After watching maybe 10 minutes of this video diarrhea I could take no longer and thought I would share my opinion. I'm glad you enjoy it. I don't. Maybe you'd do better if you weren't so presumptuous, wouldn't you say?

  • @zev007 woops, so you randomly decided to watch this episode first.. sorry but that's not of any concern to me. Wouldn't you do better if you look into a show say.. at the beginning? that's like opening up a book at page 250 reading 2 paragraphs and making up your mind on the book based on the font style they used. w/e. and no i dont think i'd do any better because i dont really care. if you dont like the show i'm not going to tie you down and force you to watch it.

  • @uzernam302 I didn't randomly decide. I had to start somewhere. If the show was any good (especially in a genre like this), you could pick it up at any point. It's like when you get a sneak peak at a book by reading a chapter of it printed at the back of another book by the same publisher. If the book was any good, you can get a sense of that from the chapter they've selected. It's not judging it on its font, its judging it on the content. In this case, the complete lack of content/talent.

  • @uzernam302

    I don't think it's that bad really... the lip-synching here is better than I see in most videogames these days.

  • @uzernam302 Like to see you do a better CG job, you fucktard

  • @GSXRMarshall i was replying to someone who was saying the cg's of this show sucked. why dont you get that stick out ur ass and shove it down your throat?

  • man i remeber da movie it rocked so much i wich dey had made a game

  • those bugs seriously need to watch their friendly fire :P

  • thee a hive mind, what is the few campared to the many? they live by this logic.
