3''[[http://www.troopsofdoomcomic.com/ TROOPS OF DOOM]]'' is an action-figure comic by Kraig Furtado. It features a massive, three-way battle between the Franchise/StarWars Empire, [[Franchise/GIJoe G.I. Joe and Cobra]]. At stake are control of the galaxy, and the ancient super-technology known as [[BuiltWithLego Legotech]]. It won't be easy, though: none of the three sides have more guns or fewer idiots than the others, and the Legotech's mysterious [[{{Precursors}} Legonian]] builders are still out there...

7!!Tropes found in TROOPS OF DOOM:
8* BadBoss: Cobra Commander doesn't have people executed for minor disappointments...he prefers ordering savage beatings.
9* BattleCry: The usual ones from Cobra and the Joes, plus the Legonians' battle cry of "LEGOOO!"
10* BountyHunter: Plenty of them, mostly from Franchise/StarWars.
11* BuiltWithLego: Legotech, natch. It's incredibly valuable because it basically runs on ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve. If you can build an agglomeration of Legotech vaguely resembling the device you want, ''it will function perfectly as such.''
12-->'''Rock 'n Roll:''' What are you building, Clutch?\
13'''Clutch:''' Haven't decided yet. Either a {{doomsday device}} or an ice cream maker.
14%%* ButtMonkey: Boba Fett.
15* CallAHumanAMeatbag: Due to their tiny stature, the Legonians call normal humans "longshanks".
16* CannotKeepASecret: Trooper Adams.
17-->'''Hackett:''' See, this is exactly why Lord Vader washed you out of spy school.
18* ColonelKilgore: Captain "Die" Young.
19* DissonantSerenity: Part of what makes Legonians so creepy. They ''always'' have that little smile on their faces, even when they're [[http://www.troopsofdoomcomic.com/2012/04/03/rockets/ snarling out threats of gruesome revenge]].
20%%* TheDitz: Boba Fett.
21* DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent: Garidan the information broker. His feats include selling the Joes the location of the Legotech ''in their own stash'', and turning himself in for the Imperial bounty on him and getting away with it.
22* DraftDodging[=/=]IWillFightNoMoreForever: The assorted snowtroopers on the prison ice-planet Rura Penthe pulled an oddly touching example. When war was declared, they all decided that they didn't ''want'' to fight and die, especially against fellow snowtroopers who had become their friends. And ''especially'' especially given that all three factions can simply [[http://www.troopsofdoomcomic.com/2011/01/07/vrp-day/ tell their respective bosses huge lies involving the words "we killed them all"]] and then get back to their drunken rocket-ski experiments.
23%%* LEGOBodyParts: Legonians.
24%%* MacGuffin: Legotech.
25%%* MadScientist: Dr. Mindbender.
26* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Between TheEmpire from ''Franchise/StarWars'', both factions from ''Franchise/GIJoe'', and an alien race called the Franchise/{{Lego}}nians. With guest appearances from anybody else the author had an action figure of.
27* MiniMecha: The Legonians are fond of these.
28* MundaneSolution: Done [[http://www.troopsofdoomcomic.com/2009/04/06/version-17/ here]] when MARS still can't find a way to armor the chest of their Battle Android Trooper.
29-->'''Cobra Commander:''' You, retrieve that block of wood we use to hold the door open. [[DuctTapeForEverything And some masking tape]].
30* MundaneUtility: Featuring such exploits as [[http://www.troopsofdoomcomic.com/2008/03/26/smoke-break/ using a flamethrower to light a cigarette]].
31-->'''Clutch:''' ''Steady''...Watch the beard...
32* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Colwell at one point got ''turned into one'' by Dr. Mindbender. He gets better.
33* RedShirt: PlayedForLaughs as an actual curse that affects red clothing.
34* RunningGag: The defective [=BATs=], people mocking Snow Job's skis, Crimson Guard members [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute being surgically modified to look like Fred]] and then dying...
35* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: The Legonians, who come prepared with Legotech.
36* SuicidalPacifist: Uhura, the [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Federation]] exchange officer.
37-->'''Duke:''' I had to gag her because she wouldn't shut up. Started taking crazy. Making up words, like "compro-ate" and "negoti-mise".
38* TruceZone: The Merc Union tries and fails. Rura Penthe does it ''without'' trying.
39* UnusualEuphemism: Yotz!
