ProductioneditThe show was produced by Columbia Tristar and Sony Pictures for daily television syndication and ended its run of a single season with a cliffhanger instead of a proper series finale. Though originally planned for 2 D animation, Sony contracted Foundation Imaging to produce the episodes with 3 D computer animation. Since Foundation was unable to keep up with the production schedule, Flat Earth Productions were involved with creating episodes 1. Hyper Image with 2. Rainbow Studios with 2. The series was to end with a titanic battle on a larger scale than any previous episode against the Bug forces on Earth, but production halted before this story arc was fully developed. Of the 4. 0 episodes originally scheduled, only 3. Each week was to be a separate campaign with five daily episodes. In the Homefront Campaign only five episodes were completed, with the last three episodes Gates of Hell, Circle of the Damned and Final Inferno left incomplete, along with Homefront, a key episode in the campaign. Homefront was to show the destruction of Buenos Aires, referenced in later episodes. Summaries of two of these episodes are available at the Trooper. PX website. 1The missing episodes had their dialogue recorded and some of their animation completed. This existing material was not included in the series DVD release. Some of that material leaked online. A version of the lost episodes was performed once in 2. Gathering of the Gargoyles fan convention. In order to fulfill Sonys 4. Pluto and Beyond and Propaganda Machine can be thought of as coming near the beginning of the Tophet Campaign. These summarize the events of that the preceding Pluto Campaign and a few Tophet events, without adding new material. In Marooned, one of the main characters becomes lost alone in space and has flashbacks about events from the Pluto through Zephyr Campaigns in no particular order it appears intended to take place in the midst of the Klendathu Campaign. Court Martial of Lt. Razak also takes place during the Klendathu Campaign specifically, day 1. All four have been released on DVD. ProblemseditFan sites bemoaned production and distribution problems that prevented the series from finding an audience before it was canceled. Among the issues cited by Glen Oliver of Aint It Cool News are The series was sold to syndication to air five episodes per week before there were enough episodes to accommodate this schedule. This resulted in a few episodes being repeatedly rerun, alienating viewers. Individual stations syndicating the show aired new episodes as they were completed, interrupting presently airing story arcs. The series was sold to Sy. Fy without proper authorization. This soured relations between Sony and Sy. Fy to the point that the cable channel lost the rights to air the show. One of the two effects companies working on the show was fired after a few episodes, ruining an already overly ambitious production schedule. Flashback or clip show episodes were added to fill gaps created by the inability to meet the production schedule. Bohbot Kids Network aired the series between 5 and 6 AM. The Sci Fi Channel aired the series at 7 3. AM. These are hardly desirable time slots for the target audience. Fan campaign and DVD releaseseditWith a fan campaign begun by the now defunct Roughneck Chronicles website, the Pluto Campaign was released on DVD. Based on sales, the other arcs were released on DVD. However, these subsequent DVDs were released in order of popularity, not in chronological order. The last DVD released was called Trackers, containing an episode bridging the gaps between the Klendathu Campaign and Homefront Campaign DVDs, and the four clip show episodes. Unlike the other DVDs, Trackers did not have any cast or crew commentaries.
