They look pretty decent with some cool design elements, although it's animation style is only a little better than GI Joe VvV.
But it got me to thinking; why couldn't they make a Colonial Marines animated series? If done properly, I feel it could be a sleeper hit.
Also, the I wish the Hellboy animated series would continue.
Same with the Amazing Screw-On Head.

It ends with a huge cliffhanger and was cancelled so the DVD "complete series" is incomplete. As a whole though, it is a pretty good show. The animation isn't bad for when it was released. You can look around online and find the writers ideas for the final season which is pretty interesting.

When Star Wars the Old Republic is released next year I was contemplating on creating the Roughnecks as a Tribute to the legendary Razak's Roughnecks from the series.

It's an update of the old Gerry Anderson show. I think it holds up pretty well. It also has some pretty nice vehicle designs. Searching Videos for "new captain scarlet" | Veoh#

But at the time, the animation was state of the art. I know a lot of people don't like The Clone Wars, but the movement of characters has improved so much from Roughnecks.
