The Mystery Cartoon Character Game, now with 20% more ongoing.

Correct. Hoss Delgado is a mixture of Snake Plissken--which explains the long red hair, outfit and eye-patch and Ash Ketchum--because of the chainsaw hand. In the possible spinoff pilot Underfist, he was given a machine gun leg as well. Also, at one point he was dating Eris, the goddess of discord and chaos.

Also, Hoss was a cartoon crush of mine--think it was the long hair and eye-patch combo. Ironically enough, he may have been my most "normal" of my cartoon crushes.
Also, I didn't know TV Tropes even had that category!

^ Yeah, when Fast Eddie started out, TV Tropes were some recognizable patterns in the plots of television shows. However, it didn't take long to blossom into the juggernaut of theatric and literary devices it has become.

So, we're doing eye-patches now, eh? Goodie.

1) This character made her debut in a regularly televised animated series that was exported to the United States. She would recur in two subsequent direct-to-video productions.

2) "She?" A girl with an eye-patch? Yes, she has one, a pink inverted strawberry one over her right eye (viewers' left).

3) She's likely not a bad driver per se, it's just that a manual transmission can be difficult. Thus, just once, she has the silly thing in reverse.

Yow, forgot about this. Okay, back on tracks now.

4) This character is human. No claws, fangs, fur, or wings on her, nope.

5) It's an anime series that being taped, one that debuted in 2012. So, this character is one of the cute little squeakies that join the fun relatively late.

6) Normally, boys do the contact sports such as rugby and hockey, while girls do the skill sports like gymnastics and volleyball. This girl participates in a "sport" that would usually be considered boys' territory. But surprise! it's an all-girls team competing against other pure girl teams.

And it's time for the cupcake clues.

7) This character and her teammates live aboard a converted aircraft carrier, where the flight deck has been converted to a small town.

8) Team Anteater, specifically.

9) Violent as her sport is, it did not cause her to lose an eye. She joined the team with her strawberry eyepatch already installed.

Oh, dear, another dud. This would have been Momoga of Team Anteater from Girls Und Panzer, an odd series about high school girls that work as tank crews, battling teams from rival schools over hill, over dale and even through town. (Funny how there's no traffic at those times.) She's the driver of the Chi-Nu Type 3, and has a strawberry-shaped eyepatch.

Guess I'll have to scrounge up a better eyepatch character.

To be honest, I have never heard of this anime.

I have this one from Amazon. The premise is preposterous, certainly, but the camaraderie among the girls is charming, and their enthusiasm is infectious. Miho Nishizumi used to be a junior officer for powerhouse school Kururomine, until she chose to rescue her comrades rather than defend her flag tank. It cost her team the championship match, for which Miho was ostracized. Miho transferred to rinky-dink Oarai to get away from the win-at-any-cost mindset of tankery. Though she's roped back into the game, it's girls doing it for the fun and enjoyment and teamwork that re-ignite Miho's passion. It also serves as a reminder that sports were meant to be fun, first and foremost; when it's reduced to performance metrics and capital draw, it's not really a sport any more, is it?

Ah, here's one that got overlooked, surprisingly.

1) This character appears once in an animated feature film, then in a follow-up short cartoon.

2) It's a mere cameo appearance in the short cartoon, while this character gets title billing and most of the screen time in the feature film.

3) This character has a very limited vocabulary, and rarely says anything. Nevertheless, this character has an almost contagious impact of goodwill on the other characters.

Intermediate clues time.

4) This character isn't really date material, though he has a steady job. Of course, being a hopeless romantic, he tries so very hard to meet a pretty young thing.

5) While this character is definitely not a Bad Guy, he still rules the world. Rather than lording it over everyone, though, this character is content to build scale models ... of Manhattan Island.

6) Not human, let's clear that point up right now. Neither is the girl of his dreams, for that matter. So what? It's still romantic.

Oh bother, time for the cupcake clues.

7) It's easy to rule the world when there's nobody left, just this character and lots of junk.

8) Technically, that's not his name; it's his designation. It describes what he does all day long.

9) A Pixar Animation production. Whoops, make that a Buy n Large production.

Could this fellow possibly be WALL-E?

It could be, all right. So much so that this is indeed Pixar's WALL-E, the little Waste Allocation Load Lifter, Earth-class. He's the garbage 'bot, the only functioning one left on Earth. Somehow, we tapped his fellow characters, but not the quixotic boxy junkmobile. Good on you, Em, for not letting Wall-E go to waste.

Thanks, OUB. Now for one who's never been posted in this game:

1. My friends and I go after an evil inanimate object.

2. Like many other animated movies, my story is based on a book.

3. My movie was the first animated Disney movie to be rated PG, due to scary supernatural themes, and even some onscreen deaths.

This surely must be The Black Cauldron, the first feature animation after Walt's death. I think the young hero's name is Tarren. It didn't do so well at the box office, ushering in Disney's Dork Age.

Good job, OUB. . You got it right, except that the boy's name is spelled Taran.

Sweet. And looky here: there's a hole in the Character List where a heroic character should be. It's fixing time!

1) This character first appeared in a regularly televised cartoon series, being a 100% Good Guy. He'd later get a spin-off series, but with much less heroics.

2) Just like the scheming villains he fights, this character has a secret lair. Who knows, he could have defeated its previous owner and decided he'd keep it for himself. Those places aren't often on the tax rolls, y'know.

3) TV Tropes calls it Space Is Noisy, despite having no air in it to conduct sound. Nevertheless, this character is able to bellow his name every episode through the hard vacuum. Because he's just that awesome.

Well, just to prevent him from slipping into unguessed territory, I'll lay my money on the table, and say it's Space Ghost.

Then collect your winnings, Em, because this is indeed Space Ghost, by Hanna-Barbera Studios. His spin-off series, of course, is Williams Street Productions' Space Ghost Coast To Coast.

Thanks, OUB. Now for some real untapped territory:

1. I made my animated debut just last night.

2. In this new special, I'm the bellhop at a hotel, which is odd, given my species.

3. In real life, I was once owned by the late thriller who lent his name to the title of the special.

Last three clues:

4. My original residence was a ranch named after Peter Pan's home.

5. Today, I live with my own kind.

6. I share my name with several female cartoon characters, including one of the Powerpuff Girls.
