*The refurbished ''Clint'' featuring in the story is problematic for several reasons. It is explicitly described as a CLNT-1-2R, but even this earliest model was only introduced in [[2607]] according to the ''[[Master Unit List]]'', i.e. three years after the events described. The 1-2R series normally has an [[AC/10]] barrel instead of a right hand, plus a single medium laser, and is not equipped with [[jump jet]]s. However, in the novel the 'Mech uses jump jets and twin Magna medium lasers which are mounted on the right arm, as well as a fully modeled right hand. This could be taken to mean the 'Mech was customized when it was hand-built (possible given that the ''Mech Friends'' knew all along that they had no ammunition for the autocannon), though the ''Clint'' depicted on the book cover features a regular barrel arm and no hand. Further, the ''Mech Friends'' complain about having no ammunition for the missile launcher despite no known ''Clint'' model mounting a missile launcher of any kind. *The refurbished ''Clint'' featuring in the story is problematic for several reasons.
