Pop Culture[]

- Cataclysm quotes John Steinbeck's Of Mine and Men famous phrase with the quote, "This is where we separate the mice from the... uh, whatever."
- Throttle shouts "Andale!", a recurring reference in the series to Looney Tunes character Speedy Gonalez, known for the famous phrase.
- Baby Vinnie quotes verbatim Looney Tunes' Tweety Bird catchphrases when the character spots Sylvester the Cat in the show.
- Throttle calls Cataclysm and the Claw Troopers "Scat Cats", a likely reference to the Spike and Tyke short of the same name.

Goofs[]
- As the Clawbine is being toppled by Modo, Vinnie can be seen on his bike completely missing his face mask.
- As the cage swings to the right after Charley blasts it apart, Vinnie can be seen missing his bandana and bandoleers.
- Vinnie retains his mask and earrings as a baby. However, the youth serum's science explained by Dr. Catorkian imply this would only happen to one's biological body rather than prosthetics and clothes. His biker clothes vanish into merely a diaper, unseen for the rest of the episode.

- Despite Vinnie's diaper tearing when in the Clawbine's claw hook, it is seen completely normal in the next shot.
