Roboroach

RoboRoach is a Canadian animated television series that aired on Teletoon in Canada, Animania HD in the United States, and Fox Kids internationally. It follows the story of a cockroach named Ruben and his brother Reginald. While scavenging for food, as seen in the opening, Ruben is caught and experimented on. His brother saves him, but when they jump into an electrical outlet, Ruben is transformed into a robot and cockroach cyborg called a roboroach. After that, he swears to use his powers only for the good of everyone and never for personal use, which is unfortunate for Reginald.

== Characters == ===Main=== Ruben "Rube" Roach (Scott Thompson), the second-born and younger of the Roach brothers, has been turned into a "super-bug" thanks to being captured and experimented on before he hopped into an electrical outlet and transformed into RoboRoach, gaining shapeshifting abilities and since that day serving as the superhero of Vexberg. He always thinks of others before himself and never accepts gifts of gratitude, and that's the reason why he and his brother live in poverty. Ruben is also quite childish, naïve and believes almost everything anyone tells him. Reginald "Reg" Roach (Ted Dykstra) is the firstborn and eldest of the Roach brothers who always tries to get rich, but always fails. He is overambitious and tries to use his brother's powers to obtain money, but Ruben always turns down reward offers because, as he says: "A good deed is its own reward!". That infuriates Reginald, and he is also quite selfish and bad/ill-tempered. This often causes him a lot of trouble. However, he is still Ruben's big brother regardless and there are times he can cast out his own greed and anger aside just for his big younger brother whenever he believes he might lose his brother and more, showing us he truly cares for his brother and loves him as much as Ruben does for him. His catchphrase is "Why me? Why me? Why, all the time, me?" with slight variations according to the episode. Mayor Mierworm is the mayor of Vexburg. She does not like Ruben or Reginald and thinks of them as menaces. Once she even tried to blame them for a crime they never committed, just to get rid of them. As a politician she is not very good, but seemingly Mayor Mierworm gets re-elected quite often. Skeeter Jettings is the main reporter in the series and can be found announcing the news on Reginald and Ruben's TV. His name is a spoof on Peter Jennings. The Police Chief is RoboRoach's friend and the chief of the police station. Also known for his giggle. Doc is the Roach brothers' personal physician. Sterling Überbucks is CEO and owner of his company "Überbucks Dynamic Concerns". He and his helper Toadie are always trying to get richer at the cost of anything. Sterling has a nephew Stewie Jr., an evil twin brother named Carling and a great-great-great-grandfather named Sterling Überrucks the Very 1st.
