Trivia / Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad

• Act Who You Know: According to Glen Beaudin, Robin Mary Florence's real life personality was almost identical to that of her character Sydney.
• Colbert Bump: Much like Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills, this show was listed in Dragon Ball Z Abridged by Abridged!Vegeta in an attempt to explain what the Ginyu Force is like.
• He Also Did: Matthew Lawrence, who played Sam, would go on to play Jack in Boy Meets World.
• No Budget: The show only had four sets, which made depicting the effects of the viruses Kilokhan released very… creative, to say the least.
• Old Shame: 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 Power Rangers Fan Convention Power Morphicon 2014 and has previously retweeted other toku things on his Twitter account.
• Recycled Script: A surprising number of plot points, such as the heroes needing to use an exercise bike to power the computer and being inspired by a sandwich to create Servo's Battle Shield, were straight-up recycled from the show's source material Gridman.
• Recycled Soundtrack: A handful of songs used for the show's soundtrack were originally created for DiC Entertainment's Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
• Technology Marches On
  • Kilokahn boasts processing speed of 400 megahertz. In '94, that was pretty impressive, but the computing revolution was in full swing, and we'd have budget processors that strong not even five years later.
  • More or less the whole show basically. The series made considerable use of floppy disks for important information.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Aaron Pruner was originally in the running to play Amp.
  • As mentioned under Heroic Sacrifice in the main article, the original ending for Kilokhan Comes To Town (meant to be the Grand Finale before they found out they weren't getting canceled) was to replicate the Gridman finale where the main character dies, and one of the villains makes a Heel–Face Turn to set up becoming the new hero of the show.
  • More seasons were planned after the initial uncancelling, but were scrapped when the discussions for Gridman Sigma in Japan fell through (no material to adapt = no further seasons).
  • According to Glen Beaudin, Malcolm was planned to become the new Servo in future seasons, just as Malcolm's Japanese counterpart would have become the new Gridman.
    • Likewise, had the plans for his Gridman counterpart to become 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.
  • 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 Origin Story for the characters was advertised for a 1995 release but never materialized.
• Working Title: Power Boy
