Trivia[]
- For unknown reasons, this episode aired earlier from the production order.
- The entire episode is done in a rock opera-style, and is the first rock opera produced for an animated television series in history.[1]
- This episode reflects on the 1993-1996 series, where in a handful of episodes Throttle, Modo and Vinnie sings a tune during the episode.
- Charley this time decides to stay with Throttle, Modo and Vinnie to live on Mars as they are her family and not to be separated like in 1996. She would also be the first human to live on Mars.
- This episode wraps up the series completely with a close to very happy finish, tying up loose ends, leaving the one question of Harley's destiny.
- The music is almost set to a nod to the rock artist, Meat Loaf, known for his rock opera style shows and singing technique, and his use of motorcycle themes.
- Rob Paulsen was a trained singer before he was an actor, so no training was required for this episode was needed.
