Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.

In the 2020 reboot, it's revealed that she was stripped of her powers by a alien race with cosmic powers known as the Topians and forced to work for them by making monsters and releasing them to cause chaos and destruction.

Added DiffLines:

* ALoadOfBull: He's a large, anthropomorphic bull.
* TheBrute: General Slaughter is arguably the most physically powerful of the Dark Queen's top minions. While Robo-Manus uses his ranged arsenal and Big Blag throws his weight around, General Slaughter is generally content to use his horned head and fists to beat on the 'toads.
* DegradedBoss: After his appearance in the original NES game, General Slaughter has generally appeared as either a WarmUpBoss or a MiniBoss in the later games.
* TheDragon: Acts as this to the Dark Queen in the cartoon pilot, as Robo-Manus is AdaptedOut and Big Blag was DemotedToExtra.
* DumbMuscle: He's brutish and powerful, but he's outright described in the manuals as one of the Dark Queen's least intelligent commanders.
* FourStarBadass: He's one of the Dark Queen's generals, and strong enough to clobber the Battletoads in a fist fight.

* BuxomIsBetter: Her original design was particularly busty.



* EvilBrit: Has a noticeable British accent in the reboot.



* HartmanHips: Her reboot design, not that her original design was [[CurvesInAllTheRightPlaces lacking in the hips department]].
* PlayingWithFire: In ''Battletoads and Double Dragon'', she attacks by throwing fire balls and transforming into a patch of fire that moves along the ground, damaging the Battletoads or Lee brothers on contact.
* SpinAttack: In the original game, she transforms into a tornado and spins around the stage to attack the Battletoads.
* WillOTheWisp: She transforms into a glowing wisp-like energy form to move around the arena during her fight in ''Battlemaniacs", and after her defeat.



* GoombaStomp: Robo-Manus is notorious for this, especially in the original game where him landing on the player amounts to a OneHitKill.

He also returns in ''Battletoads & Double Dragon'' none the worse for wear after being completely blown apart in the Gameboy game prior.

A hideous cybernetic mutant armed to the teeth with a variety of deadly weapons. One of the Battletoads' deadliest foes, he serves as one of the Dark Queen's two bodyguards, main bodyguards and very is likely her second in command.



*AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: While Robo-Manus is one of the taller characters in the series by default, especially in the Gameboy game, his appearance in the arcade game takes it UpToEleven, with him clocking in at 76' 8" tall and weighing 12,931 lbs for his appearance as the final boss. He's shown in another gargantuan form during the flashback in the reboot comic.



* CombatTentacles: He's regularly depicted with some kind of metallic tentacles in his character artwork, though he never uses them in-game.



* ShouldersOfDoom: One of Robo-Manus' recurring features. Often featuring some grotesque fleshy brain-like tissue that can be seen through the cracks in his armor

to:

* GoombaStomp: Robo-Manus is notorious for this, especially in the original game where him landing on the player amounts to a OneHitKill.
*IShallReturn: Declares "I'll be back!" after his defeat in the arcade game. The new reboot-based comic shows that he indeed made good on that promise, as he's shown fighting the Battletoads in a flash back prior to the events of the reboot.

*VerbalTic: '''BZZT''' He hasz a particularly '''FZZT''' noticeable one.
*VillainousBreakdown: He suffers a complete systems breakdown after his brain takes enough damage in the arcade game, singing ''Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'', offering a cup of coffee and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas before exploding.
*WalkingArsenal: Blaster cannons, visor blasts, missiles, exploding drones, hand-flung electric fire balls and mortar blasts all seem to be a part of Robo-Manus' built-in arsenal.
*WhatCouldHaveBeen: Concept art for Robo-Manus shows he had a [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/battletoads/images/e/ea/RoboManusHumanoidForm.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200929030216 smaller, less-monstrous humanoid form]] resembling [[{{Film/RoboCop}} RoboCop]], as well as his sprite in the original NES game. [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/battletoads/images/e/ef/RoboManusToyConcept.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200927031755 Additional concept art for an unreleased toy]] indicates that he would've undergone a horrific mutation (complete with his body ''splitting in half'') into his more recognizable form for battle. This was likely left out of the earlier games due to technical limitations at the time.

A stout, obese mutant rat with a morning star tail who leads the Dark Queen's mutant rat pack. The second of the Dark Queen's bodyguards.
----
* EightiesHair: Big Blag has what can best be described as a cross between a mullet and a pompadour.
* {{Acrofatic}}: Big Blag is a lot more agile than he looks, and is capable of jumping very high. Used in tandem with his weight to crush the 'toads underneath him
* BewareMyStingerTail: His most stand-out feature apart from his immense girth is the spiked morning star at the end of his tail, which he appropriately uses like a flail.
* CounterAttack: In the arcade game. Attempting to strike Big Blag with a smash hit a second time will usually result in him yelling "Sucker!" before immediately striking the player with his morning star tail.
* FatBastard: He's a fat, greasy-looking rat that loves brawling with and stomping on the 'toads.
* GoombaStomp: One of Big Blag's main attacks is leaping on and crushing the 'toads with his immense bulk.
* InflatingBodyGag: After being defeated in his giant form in the arcade game, his belly button pops out and he begins to fly around the room as he deflates back to his normal size.
* LightningBruiser: In the arcade game. Big Blag's capable of delivering hits surprisingly fast and rolling around the arena to attack the 'toads.
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Big Blag gains the ability to grow to an immense size in the arcade game.
* StoutStrength: Big Blag is nearly as muscular as he is fat, and he's more than capable of brawling with the Battletoads.

* CoDragons: With Big Blag.
* CyberCyclops: He's typically depicted with a [[{{Series/Battlestar Galactica|1978}} Cylon]]-like visor with a [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] or purple light serving as an eye. His appearances in Battletoads and Double Dragon and the arcade game give him a more angular visor with two eyes.
* TheDragon: While he shares the role with Big Blag, Robo-Manus is definitely the more dangerous of the two. Further supported by the fact that he serves as the final boss in the Dark Queen's stead in the Gameboy game and the arcade game.
* EyeBeams: He can fire lasers from his eyes in Battletoads and Double Dragon. It's also implied that he does this as his final parting shot in the arcade game.
