* BoomHeadshot: His ignorance of the Golden Rule Of the Gears got him killed ''[[EpicFail 20 minutes into his service]]''. His helmet found in ''5'' has a huge chunk of the faceplate blown off.
* BreakoutCharacter: Anthony Carmine was originally intended to be a one-shot character with so little plot significance, that he didn't even have a unique face worth modeling. For varying reasons, he made a [[EnsembleDarkhorse large enough impact with the fandom]], that it's become mandated that each new game includes a Carmine, and with a [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute very similar personality]]. It's also become a trend that [[TheyKilledKenny something bad happens]] to a Carmine.
