* ArtisticLicenseBiology:
** The b-plot of "Spark Bug" has Crusher trying to outsmart a caterpillar, who is ''very'' strong and can lift anything much bigger than him, even Crusher himself. While caterpillars are indeed strong, they cannot lift heavy things like Crusher in real life.
** One episode has Blaze and Pickle get chased by electric-zapping electric eels. Electric eels like the ones they encounter do not shoot electricity from their tails like they do on the show; they give electric shock stings when making physical contact with them.

* OffModel: Blaze’s face in Season 1 is designed rather cartoonish and with a more unique appearance than the other trucks; there were times that his mouth would deform or stretch exaggeratedly in some scenes like when he grits his teeth when pushing or pulling, or when he opens it wide when jumping. His face got a slight redesign in Season 2, having a slightly smaller mouth that no longer curves to the side and is animated more fluidly.
