• Children Voicing Children: Depending on the episode, Brian O'Malley was voiced by either Noam Zylberman or Michael Fantini.
• Dueling Shows:
  • More of a Dueling Merchandise with the toys from Kenner's Police Academy: The Animated Series; just look at the gimmicks of both toylines.
  • The same with Kenner's RoboCop line, as both featured cap-firing gimmicks.
• Missing Episode: Episodes 40-48 have been taken off the CONtv website, and have yet to return as of this writing.
• The Other Darrin: As noted above, Brian O'Malley went back and forth between being voiced by Noam Zylberman and Michael Fantini.
• Show Accuracy/Toy Accuracy:
  • Mace's colors are completely inverted, going from a blue/white attire with orange padding to an orange attire with blue padding.
  • Taser is a blond, clean-shaven white man in the cartoon and a bald black man with a handlebar moustache in the action figure line.
  • Also, Hardtop had brown hair in the cartoon and black hair in the comic.
  • The Crooks barely resemble their toy counterparts thanks to vast exaggerations on the part of the animators.
• Studio Hop: Though the series is animated by DiC, the commercials were animated by TMS Entertainment, contracted by Hasbro and DC Comics themselves.
• What Could Have Been: Hasbro planned a third series of action figures (and two cap-firing backpacks) for 1990, but they were cancelled due to declining sales.

  • Had the Unit:E crossover project gotten off the ground, Agent Fowler from Transformers: Prime would've been injured and rebuilt as that continuity's version of Bulletproof Vess.
