The French-Canadian version of Animal Mechanicals is indeed to be called; or retitled as; Les Super Mécanimaux; in fact in which also airs on the French-language free-to-air television network Ici Radio-Canada Télé; starring French-Canadian voice actors Nicolas Charbonneaux-Collombet as Rex, Éveline Gélinas as Unicorn/Licorne, François Caffiaux as Komodo, Catherine Brunet as Mouse/Petite Souris, Denis Roy as Sasquatch, and Marika Lhoumeau as Island Owl/Petite chouette de l'île.

Alexander Tol provides the occasional vocal noises for the male characters, while the females are performed by Rae Reilly. Characters Rex (voiced by Jim Fowler in the English version and Nicolas Charbonneaux-Collombet in the French version) is a green Mechana-tyrannosaurus. His enhanced ability is strength. Often, when utilizing this ability, Unicorn refers to him as being "strong like a titanium Tyrannosaurus" which, with his name and bipedal shape, would indicate that he is a robotic Tyrannosaurus rex. He is the leader of the Animal Mechanicals when they are on their journey to their mission. When he transforms, he becomes a cross between a truck, a forklift, a tractor, and a digger. He also has an obsession with food. Unicorn (voiced by Leah Ostry in the English version and Éveline Gélinas in the French version) is a pink Mechana-unicorn. Her ability is Mechana Fly, which is when she appears two wings on her back and her hooves turn into rocket boosters. The horn on her head can be made to blink like a beacon, allowing other creatures to follow her while she is flying. It can also do magic, make a whirlwind, throw lightning and light up. When flying, her legs are bent backwards and her hooves become rocket boosters, propelling her through the air. Her wings are folded inside her back, except when in use where they provide direction and speed control.
