* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the second season the regular goopmandos are joined by T-4, but he disappears after his debut episode.

''Creepy Crawlers'' was an animated series by Saban Entertainment that ran from 1994 to 1995. It was loosely based on a toy line that revolved around molding plastic into insects. The show was about a boy named Chris Carter. He spends his days working in a magic shop run by Professor Googenrime, an old magician who wishes to gain true magic powers to get back at the magicians that laughed at him. Chris experiments with a Magic Maker to help with business, but Googengrime's ritual empowers it and it accidentally creates insectoid heroes called the Goop-Mandos (Hocus Locust, Tick-Trick-Tick, and Volt Jolt). Googengrime, however, takes the Magic Maker and uses it to create horrible creatures called Crime Grimes. Chris teams up with the Goop-Mandos to foil Googengrime's schemes in every episode. During the course of the show, a few other Goop-Mandos joined: Sting Ring, Commantis (permanently), T-4, and Fire Eyes (for one episode each).

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the second season the regular goopmandos are joined by new heroes twice (T-4 and Fire Eyes), but both disappear between episodes.

* AllForNothing: The first season ends with the Goopmandos and defeating Googengrime's entire army of monsters. A disguised Googengrime himself takes them off Chris's hands, and the season ends on him declaring the battle's just beginning. The heroes accomplished nothing.

%%* MonsterOfTheWeek: A lot of the Crime Grimes were essentially this, although the show wasn't adverse to reusing the same monsters either.

* HourOfPower: The Goop-mandos' powers came from a bulb full of slime in their stomachs. When it had all dripped to the bottom, they were powerless and had to hang upside down and let it drip to the top again to get their powers back. It became less of a problem as the series played out and they presumably learned to avoid it.

%%* BigBad: Professor Googengrime.
