Errors

• Penny claims that you shouldn't treat blind people differently. However, this point seems a little moot as Rocky and the others did just that, as they were impressed with her fighting skills before she was revealed to be blind and they also tried to help by picking her things up when they fell over, despite that they would probably do that with other people regardless. Rocky ends up apologizing to Penny for having treated her differently, despite him not doing that at all, when it was rather that Penny assumed it was because she was blind.
• The Defender Wheel keeps changing location so Rocky can quip some more. For example, the camera pans up to Defector which implies it was a POV shot from the Defender Wheel but then the wheel still magically managed to get enough space to energise itself for the fatal strike.
  • This was accomplished by the editors splicing in and even recycling various shots outside of the weapon.

Notes

• Final appearance of the Defender Wheel as well the only time that it destroys a monster and the only time that Tommy doesn't use it.
• The original title for this episode was "Robot Recycling".
• In the scrap yard scene, where and when Defector is created, Change Robo's chest, a hump from the Mastodon Dinozord and a broken exoskeleton of Drill Master can be seen.
• Ed Neil and Danny Wayne Stallcup both make out-of-suit cameos as Penny's opponents.
• Rocky demorphing in front of Penny despite his secret identity is justified due to Penny being blind.
