Notes

[edit]
  • Tap-Out's character model was seen in an image from Derrick J. Wyatt's blog. The image, posted on April 1, showed various characters who would and would not appear in the rest of Season Three. Score one for Tap-Out!
  • Tap-Out's bust is rendered more or less unreadable in the actual episode thanks to the camera distance and the blur effect of the flashback. The confirmation that that's who it is comes from Mr. Wyatt.
  • Tap-Out wears the 65356-9292-346 body-type, the same protoform mold as many others. Unlike them, however, he was reformatted into it after the Great War.
  • Bill Forster wrote Tap-Out, Volks, and Glyph's bios, and linked them by writing "like they were having some high-school drama". Forster also admitted that Tap-Out's downgraded body was to get around Derrick Wyatt saying the body-type was post-war when the cartoon showed Tap-Out's head at the wartime dojo: "Jim [Sorenson] said maybe he downgraded his body. Derrick signed off on it and there we go"<ref>Disciples of Boltax: Secrets of the Almanac II Part One</ref>
