*** As a kicker, the end of that episode [[spoiler: made it quite clear that while this incarnation was retired and focused on healing as part of the Noble family until he eventually naturally regenerates into the , he'd come out of retirement to do things like take Donna and her daughter, Rose, on trips]] means that while there's no intention for him to ever reappear, there is always the option at any point in the future of taking up 14's costume again.

* During the Dreamwave Comics period, a lot of Transformers fan-artists were hired to work on the comics, apparently [[MadeASlave out of love]] for the series. That didn't go [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&col=1&old=1&column=litg&article=2102 quite well]]. Most [[DoingItForTheArt still remain working]] for IDW and/or Hasbro.

** Matt Morsia (Legend) was a huge fan of the original series and even had a poster of the show's original {{heel}}, Wolf, on his bedroom wall.
--->'''Matt:''' I watched every single episode of the original Gladiators as a kid back in the '90s (had a life size poster of Wolf on my wall for like 5 years) so this is an absolute life goal for me.
** Toby Olubi (Phantom) [[https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertainment/gladiators-2023-cast-line-up/ says that]], as a 90s kid, he viewed the original Gladiators as a "version of real life superheroes". Now he's one himself.
** Ella-Mae Rayner (Comet) was a fan growing up, and [[https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertainment/gladiators-2023-cast-line-up/ says]] that Jet, one of the original Gladiators, was one of her inspirations.
--->'''Ella-Mae:''' I specifically remember Jet, she was an icon for me as a child and one of the reasons I become a gymnast. I can’t believe I will be following in her footsteps. It really is a dream come true.
** Not only was Jodie Ounsley (Fury) a fan of the original show, but she actually watched her father take part as a contender. She describes becoming a Gladiator herself as "truly surreal".

* ''Series/Gladiators2024'':
** [=CrossFit=] athlete Zack George was a fan of the original ''Series/{{Gladiators}}'' shows, and is now "Steel", one of the revival's Gladiators. Not only has George talked about this when [[https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertainment/gladiators-cast-steel-zack-george/ interviewed]], but the show's commentator mentions it when Steel's first introduced.
** Several of the contestants are fans of previous versions of ''Gladiators'', which the show is keen to acknowledge. The introductions for episode one contenders Myles and Kerry mention that they both grew up watching ''Gladiators'' twenty years earlier, but never thought they'd compete in it. Kerry describes the experience as surreal.
