• This monster appears in the artwork of "Evolution End Burst".

• This card has a similar counterpart: "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon".
  • Whereas all of the "Cyber" Fusion Monsters requiring "Cyber Dragon" as Fusion Material are LIGHT-Attribute, all four Chimeratech Fusion Monsters are DARK instead.
    • Similarly, while all "Cyber Dragon" cards include the phrase "Evolution Burst" in their attack names, both Chimeratech monsters include "Evolution Result" instead.
  • Both this monster and "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" are based on the Chimaera, a mythical beast who had the head of a lion, goat and snake. More recently, chimaera refers to the idea of combining things that occur naturally, much like both monsters are Fusion Summoned by using various Machine-Type monsters. Their design may also be based on the Hydra or the Yamata no Orochi.
    • This monster is also similar to "Five-Headed Dragon"; both are multi-headed draconic monsters that require multiple materials of their Type in order to be Fusion Summoned.

• This card has a LIGHT counterpart: "Cyber Eltanin".

• This card is the first Fusion Monster to have a variable number of Fusion Materials.

• This card is the only Fusion Monster listing "Cyber Dragon" as Fusion Material to have all identical heads.

• In the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime, this monster was depicted as having a head for each monster used in its Fusion Summon (e.g. six heads in its first appearance). It could also attack as many times (including direct attacks) as the amount of monsters used to play it; this card's OCG/TCG effect does not apply this to direct attacks.
  • According to the anime depiction, this card, as depicted in its official OCG/TCG artwork, has an ATK and DEF of 4800, since this monster has six heads; this card's ATK and DEF increases by 800 x the number of Machine-Type monsters used as Fusion Materials.
