8 | A trilogy of CGI movies based on the ''Franchise/ActionMan'' toy franchise that were all released direct-to-video. |
9 | |
10 | In the first movie, '''Robot Atak''', Doctor X's henchman No Face, disguised as Action Man, kidnaps scientist Professor Moran, so Doctor X can force him to develop a mind control gas. Action Man and his Action Force (Flynt and Redwolf) must clear Action Man's name, defeat Doctor X's robot army and stop his mind control plans. |
11 | |
12 | The second movie, '''X Missions''', is a retelling of the Franchise/GIJoe movie ''Valor versus Venom'', but with the Action Man cast of characters. Doctor X kidnaps citizens and takes DNA samples from zoo creatures to create an army of man-beast hybrids. |
13 | |
14 | Third and last, '''Código Gangrena''' ('''Code Gangrene'''), only available in Latin America, has Professor Gangrene freeing Doctor X and No Face from prison and later betraying them. Action Man and Action Force then have to stop Gangrene's plans. |
15 | ---- |
16 | !!Tropes applying to these films: |
17 | * AllCGICartoon: All three films are animated entirely in CGI. |
18 | * AwesomeAussie: Flynt is an Australian member of Action Force. He even uses a boomerang. |
19 | * BandagedFace: No Face covers up his face (or lack thereof) with gauze. |
20 | * BroadStrokes: Despite having a similar aesthetic to ''WesternAnimation/ActionMan2000'', the movies seem to more or less follow the continuity of ''WesternAnimation/ActionMan1995''. |
21 | * CaptainErsatz: No Face's appearance and Modus Operandi make him an evil version of Film/{{Darkman}}. And his role of being a MasterOfDisguise by wearing many different masks to impersonate other characters is a carbon copy of Chameleon (the Marvel Comics villain). |
22 | ** Rebel from ''X Missions'' is pretty much [[Franchise/GIJoe Scarlett]] with another name and an English accent. Rebel even uses the same character model Scarlett has in G.I. Joe: Valor vs. Venom. |
23 | ** Action Man channels [[VideoGame/SplinterCell Sam Fisher]] when he infiltrates the ISD headquarters wearing Night Vision Goggles in ''X Missions''. |
24 | * ClearMyName: Action Man must do this in the Robot Atak movie, after No Face impersonated him to kidnap Professor Moran. |
25 | * EvilIsPetty: Doctor X wants world domination because he wanted everyone to treat him like a hero but was instead treated like a madman. |
26 | * {{Flanderization}}: Doctor X suffers this in ''Robot Atak''. While he was already a bit of a cheesy GenericDoomsdayVillain in the 1995 cartoon series, he was at-least fleshed out in the 2000 CGI TV series into a more interesting and threatening villain. ''Robot Atak'' not only reverts X back into being the GenericDoomsdayVillain he was in the 1995 cartoon series, but they also turn it up by dumbing him down into a borderline comedic parody of the trope, where he spouts unintentionally comedic dialogue that makes him come off as less threatening. |
27 | * FunPersonified: Flynt cares more about having a good time than anything. |
28 | * GiantSpider: Professor Gangrene has giant spiders assist him in ''Código Gangrena''. |
29 | * HatedByAll: In ''X Missions'', No-Face points out to Dr. X that everyone in the world hates him, something which Dr. X outright admits [[CardCarryingVillain he takes pride in]]. Eventually, even No-Face and Gangrene grow to dislike him. |
30 | * LicensedGame: ''Robot Atak'' had a tie-in game for the Game Boy Advance. |
31 | * LosingYourHead: Dr. X is depicted as a disembodied head with a robotic body, with the first film having a scene where his head is removed from his body and is left comically helpless. |
32 | * MadScientist: Doctor X, as usual. One of his main henchmen, Profesor Gangrene, is also this. |
33 | * MasterOfDisguise: No Face's special technique, which he uses to try defame Action Man by commiting crime while disguised as him. |
34 | * MechaMooks: The X-Robots are mechanical minions of Dr. X who look like him. |
35 | * FreudianTrio: Action Force. |
36 | ** Redwolf is the Superego (calm and collected, though with some sense of humor) |
37 | ** Action Man is the Ego (as the quintessential action hero, sometimes he makes good planning, but other times he takes impulsive actions to keep the world safe) |
38 | ** Flynt is the Id (impulsive and fun-loving) |
39 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Near the end of ''X Missions: The Movie'', No-Face realizes Dr. X isn't going to give him his new face and decides to quit working for him and disappear. |
40 | * ShotForShotRemake: ''X Missions'' is basically this to ''[[WesternAnimation/GIJoeReelFX G.I. Joe: Valor vs. Venom]]''. It even reuses assets and character models. |
