39* ExtremeOmnivore: Has no qualms with eating hamster snacks.
40* {{Flanderization}}: His BigEater tendencies are exaggerated in the reboot.
41* FurryReminder: In episode 8 of the reboot, Rex sees Komodo as chicken and crouches towards him. He also has the tendency to roar in the reboot, thus telling us he's a dino.
42* TheLeader: He's arguably the leader of the team.
43* MadnessMantra: When distracted by food, he sometimes repeats its name constantly, so much so that it falls on this category. It's more PlayedForLaughs though.
44* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being one of the most mature Animal Mechanicals, his hunger can get the best of him and make him act silly.
45* ObsessedWithFood: So much so that he will act like a toddler upon seeing food in an island.
46* PsychopathicManchild: He sometimes reverts into this upon seeing food. Just like in MadnessMantra, his reversion is always PlayedForLaughs.

62* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Although Rex is not a Cloudcuckoolander per se, she, more often than not, is the one to keep him in line when he is distracted by food.

95* HowDidThatGetInThere: Often his reaction to whatever silly thing he finds in his tool tail.
96* InformedSpecies: Looks more like a Chinese dragon (think [[WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} Mushu]]) than an actual komodo dragon.
97* InsufferableGenius: Downplayed. He means well to the other Animal Mechanicals but, given the opportunity, he will not hesitate to brag a little about his intelligence.
98* LargeHam: He tends to act like a karate fighter for no reason, specially when using his Mechana Gizmo ability.

101** "One mighty mechana-[tool] to the rescue!"

109* SignatureSoundEffect: Expect a high-pitched "boing" sound effect to appear when he's in the spotlight of a scene.
110* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Whether on his normal or on his Mechana Gizmo state, he is prone to moving himself around like a karate fighter despite the situation not calling for it. That, and he tends to shout stuff like "Ee-yah!" following the same logic.
111* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's afraid of [[AbsurdPhobia balloons popping]], as shown in the episode "Balloon Volcano Island".

130'''Sasquatch''' is a blue mechanical sasquatch. His power is stretchiness.
131
132* AesopAmnesia: No matter how many times his stupid decisions or his pounding cause the mission to be derailed, he always keeps on making them.

140* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He's the silly one.

142* FatAndSkinny: The fat to Komodo's skinny.
143* {{Foil}}: His lack of brains is the complete opposite of Komodo, and they tend to clash both figuratively and literally.

145* LeeroyJenkins / TheMillstone: Due to his stupidity and impulsivity, he tends to derail the Animal Mechanicals' missions.
146* LethallyStupid: In line with Aesop Amnesia above, his stupid actions most of the time endanger the creatures than inhabit the islands the team visits (e.g: making them almost fall of the Island).
