Notes[]
Animation and Technical Errors[]
- The intro for Season 1 has Flint yell "Yo Joe!" at the beginning, but with Duke's voice.
- After the attack by the Fatal Fluffies on Space Station Delta, Clutch is incorrectly colored as Rock 'N Roll.
- Clutch is voiced by someone other than Michael Bell.
- When Mutt reads the card packaged with the Fatal Fluffies, what he reads doesn't match the text on the card. For the last sentence, he reads "I'm sure you will enjoy their deadly secret.", but the card says "I'm sure you will enjoy their amazing "split" personalities.".
Continuity Errors[]
- Cobra Commander had been arrested at the end of the second miniseries yet is now running around heading Cobra at the beginning of the episode with no explanation.
- Destro betrayed Cobra Commander and escaped at the end of the first mini-series, yet here he and Cobra Commander are together like nothing happened.
- Fatal Fluffies sprout laser rifles when they change.
- Shortly after the attack on G.I. Joe headquarters, Quick Kick is spotted in a wide shot of Joes. However, Quick Kick won't be recruited into G.I. Joe until later on in "Chaos in the Sea of Lost Souls."
