Their names are slightly different in the original German, and while the more famous one is a princess with a WickedStepmother ([[EvilMatriarch or mother]]), the latter is from a poor but far more functional family. (Also, they're explicitly described as a brunette and a blonde, respectively.)
** TheBigBadWolf that appears in these sorts of stories will combine aspects of the ones from ''Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs'', ''Literature/LittleRedRidingHood'', ''TheBoyWhoCriedWolf'', and other stories featuring a wolf as the antagonist.

Out-of-universe, it's quite possible that the designers FASA literally ''did'' attach ''Marauder'' arms to a ''Catapult'' chassis to create this design, as the popular and iconic ''Marauder'' was [[ScrewedByTheLawyers stuck in copyright litigation hell thanks to Harmony Gold]] and they had to make use of the design rights somehow.somehow.
** A number of early Clan 'Mechs are possible composites of preexisting 'Mechs, especially the various "Unseens" affeted by the Harmony Gold case. The ''Hellbringer'' is a ''Warhammer'' body with ''Marauder'' arms, while the ''Summoner'' is the body of a ''Thunderbolt'' (with its distinctive off-center circular missile launcher) mated to ''Warhammer'' legs and a ''Marauder'' arm. The ''Gargoyle'' seems to be part ''Atlas'' and part ''Warhammer'', while the ''Executioner'' is substantially ''more Atlas'' fused with a ''Victor''.

* ''Radio/DimensionX'': In [[Recap/DimensionX50Nightfall episode fifty]], an [[AudioAdaptation adaptation]] of Creator/IsaacAsimov's "{{Literature/Nightfall|1941}}", the original Sor was never on-screen. This [[AudioAdaptation adaptation]] merges him and the cultist who attacks the observatory into one character, then reuses Latimer's name for a CanonForeigner.

* In most adaptations of ''Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'', the Narrator is a separate being disconnected from the rest of the cast. In the stage musical, the Narrator is an elderly Max, essentially turning the story into a flashback from his perspective.
