* ExtremelyProtectiveChild: B.A. is a force of nature under ordinary circumstances, but if you ''really'' want to make him furious, threaten his mother.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Later on in that episode, he allows the team members to drive with Murdock in the van, so they could be with him if he died on the way to the hospital. Like all of the MPs who pursue the team he normally ends up arresting the villains they've defeated and when searching for them at a retirement community he and his men participate in their remembrance ceremony.

* {{Jerkass}}: He's more ruthless than Lynch. When one of the team (Murdock) is shot in the second season finale, he gloats about how it will be the team's undoing, because their scramble to save their injured member will mess with their capability.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Never mentioned again after the episode "Fire".
%%* TheNeidermeyer

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Never mentioned again after the episode "Fire".
%%* TheNeidermeyer
"Fire", which is odd because the A-Team all talk about him like he was meant to replace Decker permanently.
* TheNeidermeyer: Possibly the biggest one of the A-Team's various [[InspectorJavert Javerts]], since he doesn't respect them like Lynch and Decker.

* IShallTauntYou: While he likes to taunt the [[VillainOfTheWeek villains of the week]] just to mess with them, he sometimes does it to goad them into doing something foolish.

to:

* HiddenDepths: The origin of Hannibal's enmity with Decker reveal this. He and Decker have a nasty bar brawl over Hannibal's anger at Decker targeting NVA hospitals. Hannibal's attitude here was very much not the norm at the time.
* IShallTauntYou: While he likes to taunt the [[VillainOfTheWeek villains of the week]] just to mess with them, he sometimes does it to goad them into doing something foolish. He's basically Bugs Bunny in human form.

Drink Based Characterization now has a subtrope specifically for milk drinkers


* DrinkBasedCharacterization: B.A.'s favorite beverage is milk, which demonstrates his Gentle Giant nature when he's not in rage mode. It was the team's favorite way to slip in a sleeping pill to carry the bruiser onto an airplane (whenever a mission required them to travel long distances quickly).

Added DiffLines:

* NeverMyFault: Whether she actually believes it or not, everytime Faceman brings up their story, she acts as if it's him the one who ruined it. Faceman, however, eventually [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech forces her to face the truth]]: she didn't end things between them because he failed her, or did something wrong. She run away because she realized that he was serious about them and she hadn't foresaw that so, instead of accepting that she was scared by it, she preferred to run away and blame him.

renamed trope but this was a ZCE


* FourElementEnsemble: Hannibal is fire, Face is water, Murdock is air and B.A. is earth.
