Summary: Thoughtful, Chonological Showcasing(thank you, BKN)
Review: I'm eagerly awaiting these episodes on DVD because, in my opinion, they were the best part of an impressive series. I was lucky enough to be motivated when BKN had a Starship Troopers Marathon that showed every episode, day by painstaking day, until, at last, "Homefront" ended up on my platter. In my opinion, the climax to these episodes was worth the wait, too. While following the Troopers through all the other systems was fun (Tophet and Klenda being the other highpoints), the battle for Earth really took the proverbial cake. Bugs and our home sweet globe, two forces that should (and finally did) confront one another, lead to some awesome scenery and, more importantly, a change in the way the cartoon has been going. Until now, we've touched base a bit with tragedy and some emotions along the way, but we've also been submerged in an ocean of gunfights that the Troopers always win. Well, without giving anything away, this series goes above and beyond, letting you know desperation and the cost of war. You get the violence, but you also get so much more.
Its a sure bet!...

Summary: Roughnecks Ho!
Review: I'm truly a fan of this series, and i thank myself for catching the first episode of this show. The CGI is stunning, something which i wished to learn... I'm bitterly disappointed with Sony for not producing the last 3 episodes, in which Humanity's last stand will be held deep underground in the core of the Earth. If Sony can't let us have the episodes, at least let us have the scripts... so we'll know what happened.This campaign on Earth touched me quite a lot. Lt Jean Razak, a guy i have came to admire myself, died in line of duty. Why? Why must he detonate the grenade? Rico, Diz and Doc could have helped him! Frankly, episode 36, Funeral For a Friend, nade me cry... a great man, laid to rest. So, Sony, make it happen! Let's have the last 3 episodes! P.S. To all the fansites up there, please petition for a release of the last 3 episodes. Look alive, Apes!

Summary: Live Forever Apes
Review: In this movie we see the fall of Jean Razak and the rise of Johnny Rico. The war is now being fought in our backyard of planet earth. Unfortunately, Sony has chosen to leave out several important episodes from the original series and I,for one, would like them to release the remain episodes. So if anyone at the Sony Corp. reads this review, please forward it to the departments that produce these movies. I have purchased all of the Roughnecks Chronicles that have been released and am very interested in purchasing the remaining episodes.

Review: It's unfortunate the DVDs were not released in the right order, but can't complain! This DVD 'ALMOST' rounds up the whole arc of the series but the cliffhanger leaves much to be desired. I hope they release the last 3 episodes for closure. Watch it in order if u can! Much better than the movie! Foundation Imaging did a great job...just like Babylon 5!

Summary: Best ever
Review: Ok I'm sure you already know how awsome this show is. I Loved it the first time I saw, and as soon as I saw it being sold I bought all the DVD's. Each DVD is better then the last one. Although there are a couple of epsodes that were left out, you can imagin what happens. I hope that when sony gets the money they can put the epsodes that they left out on to one disk. The ending is left open. I was told that there are 3 more story's before the final battle. I hope that sony gets the money and completes it all. These DVD's are a must for anyone who liked the show. So stop reading this and buy the damn disk's.

Summary: At long last, the unaired episodes!
Review: Recently I was pleasantly surprised to see DVDs of the Hydora, Tesca, and Tophet campaigns in a local video retailer. The last DVD that I was aware of being released was Pluto Campaign. I have seen all but the last 3 episodes on tv when they were originally aired, so I'm greatly looking forward to seeing the completion of the series. I am a HUGE fan of the show and have been VERY VERY lucky to have attended 3 conventions that several of the voice actors and production staff attended. Next to Gargoyles, this series was by far one of the best 'cartoon shows' that I have ever seen. Great detail was given to the character development and story line. It had great writers and had some great plot twists. Rico rules, but Gossard is God!

Summary: The Bug War Comes Home
Review: The First Interstellar War comes to a stirring climax in "The Homefront Campaign", the latest DVD release in the Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles series. During the close of the Klendathu campaign, the Arachnid Queen escapes and SICON forces follow her trail. They find her in deep space and after pitched battle destroy the Royal Transport. The world celebrates but Carl Jenkins, the Roughnecks psychic believes the Queen is alive on Earth. At Carl's urging the Roughnecks enter deepest darkest suburbia to prove the bug menace remains. Sadly Jenkins is correct, the Queen is on Earth and our home becomes the last battlefield. The war does not go well, and the Roughnecks are in the thick of it. The squad suffers a terrible loss and must find a way to stay together to continue the fight.
This DVD is a triumph and disappointment. The stories in this chapter are surprisingly adult and poignant, as the squad deals with death, self-doubt, and uncertainty. The CGI work done primarily by Foundation Imaging is some of the best of the series (watch for the fighter plane flyover of Hawaii) The disappointment is that the end of the story is uncertain. Sony originally scripted three final episodes to include the final conflict of the war, and because of budgetary constraints those episodes have not been produced. I hope the success of these DVDs will prompt Sony to give the show's fans the ending they deserve.

Summary: Attention Humans: The only good Bug is a dead Bug!
Review: This disc contains episodes 32, 34, 35, 36 and 37 of Roughecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles. Perhaps now the rest of the world can appreciate the frustration of the fans that this series was never completed. Episode 33 was never made due to budget limitations and episode 31 was skipped over since only 5 episodes would fit on the disk (according to the commentaries anyway). The grand finale, episodes 38 - 40, were scripted but never animated. Perhaps now that the series is available on DVD the demand for more episodes will be overwhelming. Frankly, I was hoping they'd be able to squeeze episode 31 on this disc as well, since now there is an episode gap between the Klendathu Campaign and the Homefront Campaign. Still, if I was forced to choose between episode 31 and the last televised episode of the series, I would have made the same choice. So even though this disc isn't all an obsessive fanboy could hope for, it still offers up the best and brightest episodes of the entire Roughnecks series! This campaign brings the Arachnid conflict to Earth's own back yard. Mutant Bug clones will try to infiltrate our civilian infrastructure. Loyalties will be divided between saving civilian lives and eradicating the Arachnid menace. Our heros will face a crushing personal loss to their own squad (one of the main characters will NOT live to see the end of this campaign). But if our heros aren't able to pull themselves together, the planet Earth may not have any hope for a future. This is the climax the entire series has be building toward. If you are interested in collecting this series at all, you MUST own this DVD!

Summary: Your place or mine?
Review: This is a GREAT dvd, however we are missing the story arc I have loosely named the Frozen (or Lost) Asteroid Campaign and it directly precedes the Klendathu Campaign. Without revealing content, the "Frozen Asteroid" arc introduces new bugs (Fireflies) and answers the questions: What was referred to in the Homefront Campaign as the destroyed Transport Bug, and why the Troopers felt the war was over. The missing episodes are "Ice-Olation", "Mixed Signals", "Hot Ice", "The Inside Story", and "The Ice Men Goeth". War is hell with no true victories and the Homefront Campaign drives this "home". Throughout this series we have lived with the members of the Roughnecks and have developed a kinship with them. Now our kinship will be translated into emotion and empathy. No more hot, cold, wet and inhospitable planets to fight on, we are home. We are safe, but we are not alone. The bugs have inexplicably arrived, adapted, and infested. The war now will be fought using the family car as a shield, the front door as a barricade and the radio as our window to the world. When it comes to "bug" infestation, on a grand scale, victory may mean that "we" are expendable. Action sequences take place in familiar surroundings; the streets of our cities. The Homefront Campaign is definitely the most visceral story arc in this series and will leave you with an unexpected sense of loss. To end at the beginning, THIS IS A GREAT DVD.
