Animation and Technical Errors[]
- Right after the first commercial cliffhanger, Torch captures Snake-Eyes. A quick cutaway shows Zap and Snake-Eyes running when it should be Zap and Spirit.
- Scarlett sits in the front seat with Wild Bill when she gets rescued from the gangs. Yet when Wild Bill says "did you see that? I'm a'heading that way, partners," Scarlett is missing. Then in the next shot she is once again sitting in the front with Wild Bill.
Continuity Errors[]
- Buzzer says that he is illiterate, though his filecard says he was once a sociology professor.
Quotes[]

Real World References[]
- One of the themes in the show is rebellion, therefore the character design references are from the James Dean's character in Rebel Without a Cause. Similar to the gang members in the comic book series The Dark Knight Returns, all three thugs in the Blue Jean Brigade have words on their shirts, like "rogue", "fugitives", and "crusaders", which are connected to the show's theme. And to add to the air of criminal activity, one of the gang members speaks in Marlon Brando-like voice from The Godfather while "taking a poll" during the beginning of the show.
- During the 1980s, Toyota car commercials included a tagline that was mentioned by Tomax and Xamot while standing next to mayoral candidate Harper: (Tomax states) "Who could ask for any-" (continued by Xamot) "-thing more?"
