* ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy: There is very little in this cartoon that looks like stuff from the toyline it was based on, apart from some of the vehicles, including the aliens. The Ice people, for instance, were mantis-like rather than humanoid and the Bone people were basically green [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Giger Aliens]] with guns. What's strange is that some toy designs got used for completely different things. The Planet Rock toy became one of Rock's moons and Tek was used as the basis for Vox.

Trendmasters later began to issue figures based on the show characters with the ''Shadow Raiders'' name to at least partially rectify this.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A third season was planned, which likely would have had the heroes actually achieve a meaningful victory over the Beast Planet.

More about the Beast Planet's origins and how they tied into the Precursors who built all the artificial planets would've likely been a part of this too.

Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame:
** These World Engines are not [[Film/ManOfSteel Kryptonian machines that terraform planets]].
** The Zuma of this series is not the same individual as the character from ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrol''.

Revising Names The Same entry so it's not bashing the work needlessly and expanding on What Could Have Been entry.


** You're better off watching Zuma of ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrol'' for some SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel.

* RecycledSet: The Prison Planet episodes reused Mainframe from ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' to pad out backgrounds. In turn, Jungle Planet reappeared as the planet Regalis V in ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' (where Botanica picked up her plant form).
