* The ''Merlin'' was the first sample 'Mech used to demonstrate the 'Mech construction rules with the ''[[Battledroids]]'' rulebook, where it appears in a slightly different configuration owing to slightly different construction rules. Like the ''[[Chameleon]]'', it was largely overlooked until it finally received a proper entry in ''Technical Readout: 3058''.
