* MidseasonUpgrade: In the final two-parter the Martians manage to upgrade their BKM to BKM Ultra. Although it's kind of hard to tell how much of an improvement it was, since BKM tended be [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe as powerful as any particular fight scene with it required]].

''Butt Ugly Martians'' was a rather short-lived CGI cartoon that ran on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} between 2002 and 2003. It focused on three butt-ugly Martians named B-Bop a Luna, 2T Fru-T and Do Wah Diddy who were reluctantly sent as scouts to the planet Earth under the commander of their ruler, the Emperor Bog, to make it suitable for conquest. However, they take a liking to Earth and its culture and instead pretend they enslaved it by sending fake progress reports to their boss. Bog starts to get suspicious of the reports, sending in forces to check out on how the trip is progressing, forcing the aliens to defend themselves and their newfound home when the time comes.

A sub-par series in terms of computer animation, even considering its time, it nonetheless had some cute moments and a stellar cast of voice actors, creating a VERY small but dedicated following.
