Trivia

• Nitroblast's head piece is the same as the 2193 Jetbug set's, but is placed backwards and red.
• Despite what is shown in the box art, Nitroblast does not have a glowing green eye in his set.
• In the set's front box art, his tube connects his right shoulder to the Plasma Blowtorch. However, according to the set's building instructions, this is an error, as the tube connects his left shoulder, on the part that holds his tank, to the Plasma Blowtorch.
• Nitroblast's tank is a transparent orange variant of one of the two tanks previously used in the 7148 Meltdown set, but with two yellow spikes.
• Nitroblast has an appendage that connects his left arm to his back.
• Nitroblast's set's HeroFactory.com description called him "Cracker". While it is an error, it could refer to his talent of cracking through security systems.
