rdfs:comment
  • In his first appearance, Billy Shoepack was described to be just as dangerous as a real alligator due to his personality and common occupation of transporting dynamite. However, after he helped The Star Tugs and Zug out of an unusual situation, they came to appreciate him. In his second and final appearance, Up River, he helped Sunshine out of a burning logjam. Unfortunately, the blast caused the logs to be washed downstream, out of control, so he got few thanks.
  • Billy Shoepack is an alligator tug. He appeared in the episodes "Up River" and "Trapped". He speaks with a West Country accent. In his first appearance, Trapped, he was ridiculed by the Star Fleet and Zug. However, after he helped them out of a sticky situation, the others learned better. In his most recent appearance in Up River, he helped Sunshine out of a pile of logs which the smaller tug got trapped under. Unfortunately, this caused the logs to be washed downstream, out of control, so he got few thanks.

abstract
  • Billy Shoepack is an alligator tug. He appeared in the episodes "Up River" and "Trapped". He speaks with a West Country accent. In his first appearance, Trapped, he was ridiculed by the Star Fleet and Zug. However, after he helped them out of a sticky situation, the others learned better. In his most recent appearance in Up River, he helped Sunshine out of a pile of logs which the smaller tug got trapped under. Unfortunately, this caused the logs to be washed downstream, out of control, so he got few thanks. Billy Shoepack carries lots of dynamite, and has helped the Star Tugs out of two sticky situations. However, he also caused the aforementioned one in Up River. Interestingly, Billy's wheelhouse did not move in Trapped, nor did his facial expression change. In Up River, however, his wheelhouse moves and he has different faces, like the other tugs. Billy's character reflects that of Billy from the sister series, as having the same name.
