** Gamma is unlikely to have as significant a curbstomp against other forces as other Commanders because of the Legion's lack of supermaterials and their simple unit designs. [[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/posts/8990557/ From Tiki]], in response to a question about Legion Diamondbacks getting taken out by Heratic Geth:
-->Sure, they can make elite super units with ridiculously advanced materials and abilities, and do so (Nova's Yacht, Arkships and Warships, Leeroy Gibbs' prototype CMC Armor, Commander Gamma's v2 body that has DIGITS and can turn into a flying gunbrick, for example)...buuuut the Legion's R&D Flotilla does recall that they do work for a Commander, so part of their thing is Maximum Utility for Minimum Cost.

* AIIsACrapshoot: Averted with most of the Artificial Intelligences created by Gamma, who are rather decent people. This is also averted by Gamma himself, who is definitely a good guy.
** DownPlayed in regards to the Plasma Bats: while they are ''extreme'' pyromaniacs, they aren't really evil, and their insanity isn't normally a problem for Gamma.
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Nova]] lost a few limbs when Gamma's forces rescued her. Luckily, Gamma made her prosthetics that work just as well as the old ones.

* WhamEpisode: Chapter 15: During the assault on Tarsonis, it's revealed that Mengsk has access to Psi-Emitters, despite Gamma's efforts to prevent this. ''Furthermore'', it turns out that Narud has caught onto Gamma and has sicked the Tal'Darim on the Tarsonis. Combined with the Protoss, this leads to a four way battle for control of the planet.
