Notes[]
Animation and Technical Errors[]
- When reporting to Serpentor, Tomax and Xamot's uniforms lose their coloring on the right side.
Continuity Errors[]
- Cobra leaves a single B.A.T. to guard their computer virus at Anasazi. Also, there's no computer tech or IT guy around in case something goes wrong.
- Cobra Commander does not have a speaking role and is seen without a black glove.
- Of all the cities on the Cobrathon's bottom text scroll of phone numbers, San Francisco's has the strangest format: 2-007-(656)133-1958. At the time this episode was aired, the 656 area code wasn't in use; currently it's the area code for the Tampa Bay, Florida area.
Miscellaneous Trivia[]
- The computer virus is later used in "Joe's Night Out".
- All the Cobras dress up in tuxedos for the telethon, including Dr. Mindbender in a tuxedo complete with his cape.
- Befitting his decreased importance in the Cobra high command, Cobra Commander doesn't get any facetime in front of the cameras; he's stuck manning the phones.
- Destro also mans the phone lines and comments on the tackiness of the marathon.
Real World References[]
- The Anasazi or Ancient Pueblo Peoples were a Native American culture in what is now the Southwestern United States.
- Mainframe mentions that Cobra's computer was located inside Cloud City, which is the same name used for Lando Calrissian's city in The Empire Strikes Back.
