Notes
- The Saber Tiger is the Zoid that set the precedent followed by Zoids such as the Dimetrodon and Seismosaurus in simply being named after the animal it's based on; in Japan, the Smilodon is referred to as "Saber Tiger." This tends to be lost on Western viewers, where the common term is "Saber Toothed Tiger" (or the more scientifically correct "Saber Toothed Cat.")
- Raven's sadism is on display for the first time in this episode. In real life military conflict, it is irrelivant whether or not the crew of an enemy vehicle survives; the gunner's objective is simply to disable the machine. Opening fire with his Saber Tiger's weapons, Raven kills two Republican soldiers by shooting their cockpits. This starkly contrasts with his portrayal in the manga, where Raven is only interested in killing Zoids and spares their pilot's lives when he can. This may have been a choice on the anime writers' part to make Raven seem more evil, though it makes his eventual redemption that much harder to swallow.
