Summary: Great, but..... missing episodes?
Review: Definitely missing one episode from here (it is actually the Klendathu Campaign that's missing it)... which is the hunt for the bug queen in space. Granted this release is good, but I hate missing out on episodes like this. Also I hope Sony will release a DVD with the 3 final episodes + all the other episodes that were released on TV but not on DVD (Ice Asteroid Campaign?). I like to collect entire series... not bits and pieces. I;m sure other fans will appreciate this. Hope Sony gets this message.

Summary: Good, but disappointed!
Review: Don't get me wrong. I love the animation and the CGI graphics. It's some of the best I've seen. But I waited a long time for this series to come to DVD, because it's almost never shown in chronological order on television.

I ordered this particular DVD because I was expecting/waiting for the excellent episode called "Trackers". This was the episode where the troopers followed the Queen bug to earth after a game of "hide and seek" in deep space.

In "Trackers" we learned a great deal about Higgins (the reporter) and we saw an excellent space battle that rivaled some of the greatest sci-fi movies in existence today.

So those of you who purchase this DVD should know that "Trackers" is MIA. I don't know about anyone else, but when I purchase a DVD, I at least want ALL of the episodes that were available on television.

Summary: You want to live forever?
Review: Having watched and purchased all the available episodes of 'Roughnecks', I can honestly say this is the best of the bunch. I enjoyed watching the technical aspect improve from episode to episode, but the storytelling has matured as well.
Any fan of the series must have wondered, what would happen if the bugs ever got to Earth? Homefront begins to tell that story, in all the glory and tragedy of any battle on your own doorstep.
Each episode stands on it's own merit, but taken together, the series weaves together seamlessly into a greater whole.
For once, fans of the book and fans of the Movie can agree on something, Roughnecks delivers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Series
Review: I have all six episodes in the DVD series. Great set of DVDs. Homefront is by far the best of the series, in my opinion. I just hope that the final 3 episodes originally scripted will be produced. The ending of Homefront leaves you hangin. Also the episode where Carl communicates with the Queen before returning to earth should be included either in Homefront or Klendathu. Also the Ice Bug Astroid needs to be produced. Overall, a great collection of DVDs.

Summary: Roughnecks : Starship Troopers Chronicles
Review: I have to say that I usually do not watch cartoons whether they be celluloid or CG but I make an exception here. Not only is this an action packed series but it also has intelligently written scripts. The characters are believable and you do end up actually caring for them and hoping that they don't get skewered by bugs. I have watched every episode to date except the last Chronicle which has yet to be released, the Zephyr Campaign was just released last week so we're almost there. I recommend this entire series to anyone who loves SST or sci-fi for that matter and I know anyones children will love it too.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better than the movie
Review: I was not much of a fan of the movie. (I couldn't stand the over use of the "Hollywood Bullet.") But my friend told me about this series and I was hooked. Over the whole series we get more background about Rico, Dizzy & Carmen. My biased favorite episode is the last one on this disk because it takes place at Kaena Point, O'ahu, Hawaii. It's only about 30mi from where I live.
