* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Actually, the "first" of these. The Land Lion is the only Liveman mecha that could be truly called an AnimalMecha, as it is a giant mechanical lion. All the others are actually vehicles (a jet aircraft, a twin-hull submarine and truck-like wheeled vehicles) with a somewhat vague AnimalMotif aesthetic.

The 6th episode has the MonsterOfTheWeek use its time-based powers to bring the T-Rex to the present, where a young boy befriends it and nicknames it Gon. The 7th episode has the villains put Gon under mind control and test if Gash's Giga Phantom cannon can [[MakeMyMonsterGrow make it giant]] since the Giga Phantom normally only works on the villain's created monsters. Unfortunately for the Liveman, Gon does become giant, forcing the Liveman to fight and slay it with their mecha.

* HilariousInHindsight: The evil plan in episode 6 is to bring the dinosaurs back so they go on a rampage and destroy the world. Bringing the dinosaurs back would be a subplot 4 years later in KyoryuSentaiZyuranger. Since that show framed bringing the dinosaurs back as a good thing, so much so that the characters protected those dinosaur eggs over the course of the entire series, this show makes that an UnbuiltTrope.
** 15 years later, dinosaurs on a rampage would be a motif in BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger.

* AbsenteeActor: Tooru Sakai (who plays the human form of Gō Omura) only appears in nine episodes, despite being shown prominently in the opening intro during the first few seconds. From the third episode and onward, Omura assumes a monster form called "Beastman Obuler" (a costumed character voiced by another actor) and remains that way during the remainder of his tenure in Volt. When Omura reverts back to his human form, he leaves Volt and only shows up for a few guest appearances afterward.
