History Trivia / SuperhumanSamuraiSyberSquad

* OldShame: Subverted with to Troy Slaten (Amp). Although Glen Beaudin said that Slaten hated his time on the show, the latter made an appearance at the official ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' FanConvention Power Morphicon 2014 and has previously retweeted other {{toku}} things on his Twitter account.

* RecycledSoundtrack: A handful of songs used for the show's soundtrack were originally created for DiC's ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''.

* [[ColbertBump Colbert Bump]]: Much like ''Series/TattooedTeenageAlienFightersFromBeverlyHills'', this show was listed in ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' by Vegeta in an attempt to explain what the Ginyu Force is like.

* NamesTheSame: The show's production coordinator's name? Creator/MichaelMoore!

** Kilokahn boasts processing speed of 400 megahertz.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** See TechnologyMarchesOn. Anything that involves real-world computers is going to run right into this. Even though the computer is turned into a supercomputer by the Servo program, everything we see onscreen ''still'' looks pretty darn primitive when it isn't digital world battle footage.
*** In particular, the proliferation of Compaq-branded computing equipment dates the show. Compaq was a ubiquitous brand around the time the show aired, intentional brand insertion or not; by 2002, the company merged with Hewlett-Packard, and by 2013, the brand was completely gone in the United States. Younger viewers in UsefulNotes/TheNewTwenties might not even recognize it's meant to be a real-world brand.
** Also, Sydney's outfits, especially her ''Series/{{Blossom}}''-style hats, are vintage-early 1990s and look positively quaint by today's standards. And the hairstyles looked outdated ''five'' years later; we were on the tail end of EightiesHair.
** Malcolm is also this, especially well into the [=21st century=]. Malcolm is very much a ''pre-UsefulNotes/{{Columbine}}'' nerd student malcontent; tromping around in black, being sharply antisocial, occasionally attempting to hurt people en masse (though school officials don't know about that last part, generally). In the [=21st=] century, particularly UsefulNotes/TheNewTens and beyond, it would feel virtually unthinkable that Malcolm's behavior wouldn't draw serious concern and, for him, unwanted attention from school officials and other government actors. "Water You Doing?" in particular would '''''never''''' air on kids-time-slot broadcast television in the [=21st=] century. In the show's time, though, "brooding" nerds like Malcolm weren't really seen as a credible, potential threat (which the show plays on) and his treatment in the show is very much in line with how such kids were seen.

* HeAlsoDid: Matthew Lawrence, who played Sam, would go on to play Jack in ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld''.

%%%%* NoBudget:

* NoBudget: And boy did it show.

** When a second season wasn't possible, the writers were called in to discuss a sequel series that would have possibly adapted a different show. A premise was written and pitched, which was to have the Syber-Squad become either "security analysts or a virus protection squad. But nothing came of it.

* {{Vaporware}}: A direct to video movie which would have served as an OriginStory for the characters was advertised for a 1998 release but never materialized.

* WorkingTitle: ''PowerBoy''

*** Likewise, had the plans for his Gridman counterpart to become [[EvilCounterpart an evil version]] of the hero materialized, the same would have happened to Malcolm. Beaudin even mentioned that there was plans for him to play a "Black Servo" that would have served an antagonistic role.
