---

• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: He gets distracted from a mission upon seeing food.
• Big Eater: Fitting for a dinosaur, he's almost always hungry.
• Emerald Power: He's green and has powers (albeit not mystical powers).
• Extreme Omnivore: Has no qualms with eating hamster snacks.
• Flanderization: His Big Eater tendencies are exaggerated in the reboot.
• Furry Reminder: In episode 8 of the reboot, Rex sees Komodo as chicken and crouches towards him. He also has the tendency to roar in the reboot, thus telling us he's a dino.
• The Leader: He's arguably the leader of the team.
• Madness Mantra: When distracted by food, he sometimes repeats its name constantly, so much so that it falls on this category. It's more Played for Laughs though.
• Not So Above It All: Despite being one of the most mature Animal Mechanicals, his hunger can get the best of him and make him act silly.
• Obsessed with Food: So much so that he will act like a toddler upon seeing food in an island.
• Psychopathic Manchild: He sometimes reverts into this upon seeing food. Just like in Madness Mantra, his reversion is always Played for Laughs.
• Super-Strength: His power.
• Third-Person Person: Rex gains this along with a very derpy face when distracted by food.

Unicorn is a pink mechanical unicorn. Her power is Mechana Fly.

  • "Stretchy like a big rubber monkey!"^note changed to "fantastic elastic" in later episodes (when it's Sasquatch)
  • "Handy dandy tool time!" (when it's Komodo)
  • "Fast like a rocket!" (when it's Mouse)^note She says this after another character, usually Komodo, remarks that Mouse is fast

• Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Although Rex is not a Cloudcuckoolander per se, she, more often than not, is the one to keep him in line when he is distracted by food.
• Furry Reminder: When she laughs, she neighs like a horse, obviously telling us unicorns are like horses.
• An Ice Person: Her magic horn can create ice and snow. It can also melt the latter.

• Badass Bookworm: He's the most intelligent of the team, and knows karate.
• Butt-Monkey: There is not one episode where he doesn't get kicked around in some fashion (usually by Sasquatch), except for "The Elephant Train", "Mechana Pinball Island" and "Mechana Dancing Bear Island".

  • "If I am correct, and I always am..."
  • "Fascinating!"
    • "Fascinating creature/s!"
  • "Curious!"
  • "Bad idea!" (when warning Sasquatch about something)

• How Did That Get in There?: Often his reaction to whatever silly thing he finds in his tool tail.
• Informed Species: Looks more like a Chinese dragon (think Mushu) than an actual komodo dragon.
• Insufferable Genius: Downplayed. He means well to the other Animal Mechanicals but, given the opportunity, he will not hesitate to brag a little about his intelligence.

• Mad Libs Catchphrase:
  • "I have {a} very sensitive [body part]."
  • "One mighty mechana-[tool] to the rescue!"
• Mundane Made Awesome: As mentioned in Large Ham above, he acts like a karate fighter when using his Mechana ability, which is just using common tools (like a hammer, a screwdriver, a saw or a wrench).

• Nerd Glasses: Wears these. And he's never seen without them.
• Never Bareheaded: The eye equivalent for Komodo.
• Only Sane Man: The most levelheaded and least impulsive of the Animal Mechanicals.
• Red Is Heroic: He's red and heroic.
• Spock Speak: He usually evokes Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness. That, and he doesn't use contractions oftenly.
• Signature Sound Effect: Expect a high-pitched "boing" sound effect to appear when he's in the spotlight of a scene.
• Unnecessary Combat Roll: Whether on his normal or on his Mechana Gizmo state, he is prone to moving himself around like a karate fighter despite the situation not calling for it. That, and he tends to shout stuff like "Ee-yah!" following the same logic.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He's afraid of balloons popping, as shown in the episode "Balloon Volcano Island".

• Leeroy Jenkins / The Millstone: Due to his stupidity and impulsivity, he tends to derail the Animal Mechanicals' missions.
