  • Acting for Two:
    • Sound engineer Steve Negrete also provided the voice of Beebop, the AI who monitors the robots during shows, and QWERTY, the computerised overseer of Walter Manor. All three parties tended to get involved during the shows' opening sequences, leading to this trope.
    • On "The Vice Quadrant", each performer does several voices; it can be very hard to tell when this is happening.
    • Commander Cosmo was voiced by Bunny.
  • Based on a Dream: The melody of Soliton was inspired by a dream David Michael Bennet had when he was around 9-12 years old.
  • Creator Couple: The original Walter Workers Brianna and Paige were respectively David and Bunny's girlfriends. Both left amicably after breakups. David's previous girlfriend Gabi was an emergency Walter Girl for one show, and helps out at shows in the area. David's current girlfriend Chelsea is a Walter Worker (though she became one prior to their relationship beginning), Camille being Chelsea's sister.
  • The Danza: All of the Walter Girls are named after their performers.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: After Upgrade's departure, her vocals and solo song "I Am Not Alone" were removed from Album One, and were nowhere to be found on album reprints or on Spotify. The band has since worked things out with Upgrade's performer and both the original album with her song and harmonies and the newer version without her are available.
  • Reality Subtext: The announcement of Rabbit's gender flip, several months after Isabella came out, featured the explanation that their mechanics had "Discovered Rabbit's original plans had some different parts to the ones installed when she was built"
  • Role-Ending Misdemeanor: In June 2020, sexual abuse allegations against Michael Reed and Steve Negrete came to light. While Mike was kicked out and denied everything, Steve fully admitted to what he did, apologized, and voluntarily resigned. The band will no longer associate with either, and the music videos for recent songs "Latum Alterum (Ya Ya Ya)" and "Shattered Stars" were reposted with both completely removed. As this came during the COVID-19 pandemic, how the live shows will work once restrictions ease, as well as the fate of Beebop and QWERTY, is unknown.
  • Teasing Creator: They're never going to do any more covers, so stop asking. ... Yup.
    • Bunny likes to tease fans on her out of character Twitter with more adult concepts than the usually PG band posts on official channels, including basically confirming the idea that she's had sex in the full Rabbit outfit before.
