* PopCultureIsolation: ''MECH-X4'' is a live action Western take on the SuperRobot genre, best known among anime fans, but not much anywhere outside of them. The biggest examples of giant robots to the general Western public are ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'', the Zords in ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' (which, incidentally, was owned by Disney for a while), and ''Film/PacificRim''. Guess what movies and TV shows ''MECH-X4'' [[OlderThanTheyThink gets commonly accused of being a ripoff of?]] Humorously this also worked in the shows favor, as some fans of shows like ''Power Rangers'' and ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'' got into it and compare ''MECH-X4'' to those shows favorably.

* FanNickname: The BigBad was referred to as The Mastermind by some fans and in the closed captioning until the reveal of them being [[spoiler: Seth Harper]]. This has lead to some confusion, as other fans referred to them as The Leader like Principal Grey did in the show.
