History Animation / Miniforce

** And the main villain resembles a thinner white-haired version of Syndrome from WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles, too.

* AbsurdPhobia: Volt seems to have gained a temporary fear of circles when he got his horoscope read to him in “Fortune of the Day”. This even comes to play when the VillainOfTheWeek Pio uses circle-shaped beams to catch Volt off-guard and trap him.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS:
** Is the show’s name/team’s name (at least in English) “Miniforce” with no space between, or “Mini Force” with a space? Even official sources don’t seem to be consistent with the spelling, what with Netflix spelling it with no space but one of the episode titles “Mini Force and Baby Iguana” being spelled with a space in the official Website/YouTube upload. Though the Korean name of the group, “미니특공대”, is officially spelled with no space after the “Mini” part
** For that matter, is the girl’s name Susie or Suzy? Netflix’s subtitles say Susie, yet the English dub credits and some of the Website/YouTube upload descriptions also say Suzy. Her original Korean name is spelled “수지” in hangul, which honestly can mean either.
** Is the white haired villain guy Nine or Nein? Subtitles suggest Nine sometimes, but the Indonesian dub credits on Netflix list him as Nein. Again, the ambiguity of spelling things in Korean hangul does not help a bit.
** The VillainOfTheWeek of "Kungfu Master Cho" is spelled "Laoshi" (as in the Chinese word for "teacher") in Netflix's subtitles, but there's enough evidence in the Korean and Chinese versions, as well as the English audio, to suggest that it's intended to be "Laoshu" (as in the Chinese word for "mouse").
** Is the 2nd season's first episode's title "Arrow of the Griffin" or "Arrow of the Griffon"? [=YouTube=] suggests the former, Netflix suggests the latter. On top of that, the beginning episode title narration says "Griffon", but Commander Chen then later pronounces it "Griffin", meaning [[InconsistentDub not even the same dub can stay consistent with what it's supposed to be]].
** The SnakePerson in the "Serpent Witch" two-parter is either "Silah" or "Shelia", though the English audio suggests the former.
** The black cat that serves as the most consistent SixthRanger of the series starting in ''Miniforce X'' season 2 is named "Leo" in the [=YouTube=] episode titles and "Rio" in the Netflix titles.

** Ray briefly quits the Miniforce and sides with Pascal to try and bring them down. This lasted only three episodes (both parts of the “Black Miniforce” two-parter and “Saving Dr. Tao”) before Ray realizes his wrongdoing. Though unlike “Sammy’s Betrayal”, Ray has done all this on his own accord [[spoiler:(albeit under a planned BatmanGambit by Pascal)]]

* ShoutOut: In some city battle shots, a billboard for ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' can be seen in the background.

%%A SequelSeries, ''Miniforce X'', began releasing in April 2019. Another, ''Super Dino Force'', premiered on Netflix in early 2021.%%

** Captain Powerman in ''Super Dino Force''. Actually a subversion; season 2 reveals he's one of the two CoDragons for the real Big Bad, Lord Polus.

* DayInTheLimeLight: The ''Super Dino Force'' episode "Air Purifier Monster Attacks!" is this for Jackie and Lina, who fight the smaller form of the titular monster by themselves.

* DenserAndWackier: ''Super Dino Force'' is this compared to even the original series, much less ''Miniforce X''. The object monsters are goofily designed, there's a sizeable increase in [[ToiletHumor fart jokes]], and Captain Powerman is the least intimidating BigBad in the show, to the point of being an infrequent target of slapstick (if still dangerous in his own right).

** ''Super Dino Power'' season 2 introduces Lina, a white rabbit that's assigned to the team by Commander Chem to compensate for the introduction of a new villain. Surprisingly, she's actually an orange ranger instead of white.

%% Because of the Spell My Name With An S situation with many of the names (as a result of converting Korean hangul into translated English), here's a guide of the "proper" spellings (at least for this article) to make things easier and consistent: the team name/show title is "Miniforce" (ONE WORD, NO SPACE), the main girl's name is "Suzy" (not "Susie"), and the bad white haired guy is "Nein" (as in the German word for "no").
%% Also, per https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=54746&type=att , do NOT add "The Mockbuster" to this trope list despite what your initial impressions might be.

A {{Prequel}} movie based on the series was released in 2016, called ''Animation/MiniforceNewHeroesRise''. It has later spanned four more seasons: ''Miniforce X'' (2018-2019), ''Miniforce: Super Dino Power'' (2019-2021), ''Miniforce: Animaltron'' (2021-2022) and ''Miniforce: V-Rangers'' (2022-2023).

* TheCameo: Vroomiz, another SAMG Animation production, makes occasional cameo appearances on this show, usually as part of a show running in the background television in Suzy's living room.

''Miniforce'' (original Korean title: 최강전사 미니특공대, Choegang Jeonsa Mini Teuggongdae, literally “Strongest Warriors Mini Commando Squad”) is a [[HangukManhwaAenimeisyeon South Korean]] AllCGICartoon made by [[Creator/{{SAMG}} SAMG Animation]] (an animation studio also known for their contributions to ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug''). First airing on the EBS television channel in South Korea on September 3, 2014, the show consists of two seasons of 26 episodes each (for a total of 52 episodes), with each episode lasting approximately 11 minutes each.

The show follows four main characters: [[TheLeader Volt the squirrel]], [[TheBigGuy Max the beaver]], [[TheLancer Sammy the owl]], and [[TheHeart Lucy the fox]]. Together, they are part of an animal agent organization known as the Miniforce. They normally live at a house under the care of a human named Suzy. But when the [[BigBad Big Bads]] Nein and Pascal plot trouble and carry out evil plans around their peaceful area, our heroes come to the rescue by transforming into human-like battle suits and putting a stop to their plans, usually involving defeating another villain or a mechamon. In the second season of the show, [[SixthRanger Ray]] the [[MixAndMatchCritters animal chimera]] sometimes tags along to help the Miniforce even.

** One [=YouTuber=] who made a WebAnimation/YouTubePoop of the show one time has said “I especially like how Pascal's design is basically [[http://tokusatsu.wikia.com/wiki/Ecogainder Ecogainder]] but evil”.
