History WesternAnimation / VorTechUndercoverConversionSquad

* GoodIsNotSoft: In "The Hunger", Hudson Roarke makes the suprisingly ruthless order that, if they can't convince the deempowered Frostbite to do a HeelFaceTurn, they can at least eliminate her while she is no longer a threat.

* CombatTentacles: The proeminent yellow "fingers" on the Bio-Mech's gauntlets double as these.

''VOR-tech: Undercover Conversion Squad'' was an animated television series produced by Creator/{{Universal}} Cartoon Studios which aired as part of Claster Television's syndicated ''Power Block'' in the 90s, along with ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'', reruns of ''WesternAnimation/{{Reboot}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeExtreme''.

It featured a group of secret agents led by Hudson Roarke. Their mission is to SaveTheWorld from Lord Matrix, Hudson’s older brother, infecting the world with a techno-infectious plague.

* NotBrainwashed: In "The Hunger", it's revealed Frostbite became a Bio-Mech not because she was taken over by TheCorruption but because she fell into a deep depression after the death of her father and desired power beyond human limit.

* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: In "Hunger", Frostbite absorbs a lethal amount of radiation while attempting to steal an experimental military device, and while [[PowerIncontinence randomly shifting between her Bio-Mech form and human identity]] decides to quit the Bio-Mechs. Rick Rhodes sees an opportunity to appeal to her better nature and tries to convince her to switch sides throughout the episode. While [[StatusQuoIsGod the attempts ultimately fail and Dana Harding reverts into being Frostbite]], the episode ends with Rick satisfied with the thought he possibly planted the seed for a HeelFaceTurn.

* NeverSayDie: Averted in "Hunger" in that the death of Frostbite father's is discussed in definitive terms, but a line in the episode mangles a common idiom in this manner:

* RecycledPremise: The initial set of toys were recycled from Creator/{{Kenner}}'s ''WesternAnimation/{{MASK}}'' line. ([[WordOfGod According to one of the writers]], the brand was created by Kenner's owner Creator/{{Hasbro}} as a way to reuse the ''M.A.S.K.'' toy molds (as the [[Film/TheMask then-recent Jim Carrey movie]] apparently made using the ''M.A.S.K.'' name not viable; ironically, Kenner ''also'' created the tie-in toys for said film).

* AvengersAssemble: Several episodes feature a scene where Hudson Roarke calls the other Tech agents to deal with the episode's problem, followed by vignettes of them abruptly leaving their daytime job, in a fashion very similar to ''WesternAnimation/MASK''.
