History Heartwarming / RocketPower

* Another general one for Otto. Whenever Reggie gets a new friend, or hangs out or does something outside the group, he gets all sort of bent out of shape, and jealous. He almost feels like he is losing his sister. Example: in "The Return of Clio" some of the dialogue is- "you can hang out with Clio or be a part of Team Rocket, but not both", "because we're a team Reggie, a team, Clio's just getting in the way of that", "you're totally jealous" "Otto you're my brother, we'll always be a team", "except when she's here, then all you want to do is hang out with her"

* Violet's Flower is a role reversal that seems almost completely [[OutOfCharacterMoment out of character]] for both Merv ''and'' Violet. The gang accidentally destroys Violet's flowers, pushing her into a borderline AngstComa for almost the entire episode. Merv is annoyed, but he's actually ''quite'' understanding to the kids - he ''knows'' it was a total accident, and that they feel bad for it. His annoyance isn't at the children, it's at the fact that there's no way to actually ''fix'' this situation. But when the children suggest winning the roller derby for Violet's sake, he's ''very'' willing to listen.

* In "Back Bowl," after Otto and Twister get lost in the titular area of skiing-and-snowboarding area that's off-limits, Reggie and Sam tell Raymundo and Tito about it, and the four of them go to save Otto and Twister. After bringing the boys back to their lodge and the adults lecturing them about never doing something like that again (especially since those areas are off-limits for a reason), Otto (who had previously made Reggie and Sam promise not to tell Tito and Raymundo about where he and Twister were going) [[UngratefulBastard seemingly gets mad at them for breaking their promise.]] Reggie defends herself and Sam by claiming, "Well, it was getting late and we didn't know what else to do!" But Otto simply smiles and says, "Thanks for breaking my promise."

* In one episode, a new kid and tag-along tries to join the group, but his social-climbing [[ManipulativeBastard pushes Sam to the side]]. When Otto, Reggie and Twister learn this, [[EverybodyHasStandards they don't take it so well]]. After finding Sam, they let the poor kid know that he is many things, but "Disposable" is not one of them and neither is he replaceable.

Merv is annoyed, but he's actually ''quite'' understanding to the kids - he ''knows'' it was a total accident, and that they feel bad for it, and his annoyance is more that there's no way to ''fix'' it. However, he's more than willing to help them out in a way that they feel ''will'' make Violet feel better.

** When Mr. [=McGill=] is exposed as a cheater, he is immediately stripped of the title he'd won years ago, and has given to Raymundo, who looked like the biggest failure of his life is finally behind him now.

* In "Race Across New Zealand", Mr. McGill's son, in contrast to his father, is perfectly friendly, has lots of respect for his opponents, even through his snark, and proves to have lots of honor when he refuses to accept a win by cheating.

* A general one for Otto. [[HypocriticalHeartwarming Yes he will pick on his friends and butt heads with his sister more than might be healthy but if anyone else does it, there will be hell to pay.]]

** When Twister injures himself during the last leg of the titular race, Otto tells Reggie, who he had been insulting and mistreating the whole movie due to Raymundo's ParentalFavoritism, to go on ahead because he's not leaving his best friend alone when he's hurt and is openly proud of Reggie's win.

* In ''Escape from Lars Mountain'', after being picked on his brother Lars for one too many times, Twister then comes up with a heinous plan himself and lets Otto, Reggie, and Sam in on it. When Lars and his goons find Otto, Reggie, and Sam, with Twister nowhere in sight, Lars shows sincere concern for his brother since it's getting late and his parents will go ballistic if he comes back home without his brother, to which Otto tells Lars to look for Twister on his own. Lars frantically searches for his brother throughout the night, only to find his shoe near a raging river. One of Lars' goons then makes a gesture suggesting that Twister was DrivenToSuicide, much to Lars' horror. Otto, Reggie, and Sam catch up with Lars and his goons, Lars telling Twister's friends that he would never want anything bad to happen to his little brother. Lars then confesses that just because he picks on his little brother so much, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about him, and is close to tears, until Twister reveals that he's still alive and he was hiding nearby.

* In "Reggie's Choice", Reggie is torn between a volleyball tournament and a street hockey game scheduled at the same time. After seeing her in action on the volleyball court, Otto gets the hockey game rescheduled so Reggie doesn't have to choose between her new team and her old one.

* In an episode where the kids join a Sandcastle contest, they unfortunately find out that it's too close to the ocean and the tide threatens to wash it away. They try several things to hold the water off such as digging a moat for the water to come in and forming a barrier with their skim boards. Twister at one point seeks assistance from Lars and friends, but is laughed off. Just when it looks like the group is going to be overcome by the tide, a hand reaches past to help steady the barrier-- Lars's hand. He and his friends add their larger surf boards to the barrier, keeping the water at bay long enough for the judges to note the kids' contest entry.

* In "Father's Day Off", Sam's dad comes to visit him, but spends the entire day talking on his business phone and completely ignoring Sam. But once he realizes what he's been doing, he throws the phone in the back seat of the car and takes Sam out to spend time with him.

--> '''Twister:''' Right. It's a brother thing.

--> '''Lars:''' Hey! Don't insult Twister! Only I can insult Twister! ''(smiles warmly at Twister)'' It's a brother thing.
