Trivia[]

  • This episode introduces the Groundhawk, a bomb disposal vehicle with various armaments for scanning and safely detonating explosives. This vehicle shows up again in Space Giant
  • If one looks closely at the table It-Star is sitting at during it's first scene, the word 'boom' can be seen written in the dust. Given the perspective, it's obviously meant to have been written by It-Star.
  • For the shots of the geological graph display in Battlehawk, the camera was placed infront of an actual computer monitor and Computer graphics designed by Kevin Davies were played on the screen. This is most obvious when the Trans-America pipeline is overlayed, given it's constructed of text symbols such as slashes, commas and asterisks.
