* {{Animesque}}: Oh, yes. The accompanying artwork looks pretty normal, but the Minifigures exaggerate the animesque look to a spectacular degree. Also, there's random kanji slapped pretty much everywhere.

* AbortedArc: The jungle arc, which only got one comic, and the books were cancelled before it got there. Just as well, Meca One doesn't appear at all and there's not any major plot-relevant enemy mechs.

* AIIsACrapshoot: Meca One's realisation that he's too far above mankind to serve them, and his subsequent robot rebellion.

* AttackDrone: Each of the machines in the jungle arc also house a small [[DroneDeployer detachable robot]] somewhere on them.

* RealRobotGenre: All the mechas are manufactured by their owner faction, and don't have anything in the way of super powers.

In 2006, Franchise/{{LEGO}} noticed that the construction of HumongousMecha and anime-based models was becoming a very common trend in the LEGO fan community, and so the LEGO Exo-Force [[Toys/LEGOThemes theme]] was born. A take on the RealRobotGenre with a heavy dose of {{animesque}} set and character design, it follows the conflict on Sentai Mountain between the last known humans left alive and the army of rebel robots which caused that to be the case to begin with.

* AfterTheEnd: Sort of - Sentai Mountain is said to be the last remaining outpost of mankind.

* AnimeHair: The line's most distinguishing feature among the fandom. Almost every minifigure hair piece is ridiculously large and spiky - no other minifigure hairpiece ever is this enormous. It actually is a massive contrast with the artwork, which is much more reasonable in how it depicts the characters' hair.
** The hair pieces were so ridiculous that one model in a [=LEGO=] Ideas book used Takeshi's do as a head of lettuce. Yeah.

* ColorCodedCharacters: It started off this way: Takeshi had red mechs, Hikaru had blue, Ryo had orange, and Hayato had white. The first two kept loosely to this rule for the Golden City arc, but soon this was basically abandoned.

* CoolTank: Ryo's Mobile Defense Tank, an anti Sonic Phantom weapon. Also present is the Hybrid Rescue Tank, which Keiken co-pilots.

** EliteMook: The Devastators, which get the bigger and more powerful machines.

* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Hikaru
** TheLancer: Hayato
** TheSmartGuy: Ryo
** TheBigGuy: Takeshi (despite his machines being front and center on every series list, he qualifies more as this)
** TheChick: Hitomi

** [[IncrediblyLamePun So, by deconstructing them?]]

** The hair pieces were so ridiculous that one model in a Lego Ideas book used Takeshi's do as a head of lettuce. Yeah.

* AttackDrone: Each of the machines in the jungle arc also house a small detachable robot somewhere on them.

* BigBad: Meca One, leader of the robot faction.
* BigGood: Sensei Keiken, who sits mostly out of the way until the jungle arc, where he's the copilot of Ryo's tank.
* ChekhovsGunman: Hitomi is first seen in the comic 23 as one of Ryo's techs, seven comics before we even get to know her name.
* ColdSniper: Hikaru.

* CombatMedic: Ryo usually gets smaller support machines, but does just as well in a tank or the fairly awesome Blazing Falcon.

* FauxActionGirl: Hitomi is tried to be put as an ActionGirl, and had the series continued that may have happened. But as it is, she appeared in one set with no mech to speak of. In the comics, however, she briefly pilots the Blazing Falcon normally assigned to Ryo.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Takeshi is driven by the robots capturing his family. He gets mostly over this once they are rescued by Hikaru.

* SpiderTank: The Striking Venom, Meca One's original personal mecha. Also present are the Combat Crawler X2, Shadow Crawler, and Arachnoid Stalker.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Takeshi is driven by the robots killing his family.

* GatlingGood: More than a few of the mechs feature gatling cannons of some kind. Meca One LOVES this trope: both the Striking Venom and Mobile Devastator are equipped with a HUGE pair of gatling cannons.
