* indicates the character was silent during the episode
The Geberville Marching Band was most likely a nod to first season story
editor Steve Gerber (Matthew Pak's 3 3/4" G.I.Joe Collector Guide - Volume Two: The Television Episodes).
The name of Leatherneck's nemisis in the episode, Buck McCann, was probably based on the name of the voice actor who brought Leatherneck to life, Chuck McCann.
Wet Suit’s oxygen tanks suddenly appear on his back from one shot to the next.

General Hawk has either a strange sunburn or the cel was not completely inked. |
|
Buck McCann's uniform changes from grey to blue to almost white when Leatherneck attacks the Cobra Commandant.
Leatherneck's backpack sudenly appears from one shot to the next.
Like "Computer Complications," Wet-Suit's character design was inconsistent.
He appears either in a generic Joe diving suit, which was first seen during G.I.Joe: A Real American Hero, or in his white and blue suit.

While driving past Leatherneck on his motorcycle, Zandar appears bald. |

From one shot to the next, the ground changes from grass to concrete.
