Shows and Content
Red vs. Blue
Rooster Teeth was previously most well-known for Red vs. Blue (RvB for short), a machinima series that takes place in Blood Gulch Canyon across the Halo series. The shows stars Sarge (Matt Hullum), Richard "Dick" Simmons (Gustavo Sorola), Dexter Grif (Geoff Ramsey), Franklin Delano Donut (Dan Godwin) and Lopez (Burnie Burns) on the red team and Leonard L. Church (Burnie Burns), Lavernius Tucker (Jason SaldaƱa), Michael J. Caboose (Joel Heyman) and Allison "Tex" (Kathleen Zuelch).
While the series is still in production, its popularity among the company's productions has since been usurped by Achievement Hunter's Let's Play videos and the late Monty Oum's animated series, RWBY.
