Trade Secrets - S1-E5

Factual error: The Strikers steal several suits of Elemental armor in a few minutes and use it to escape after they are discovered. It takes 15 minutes to put on battle armor unaided and that's for an Elemental trained in its use. The armor is custom fit for a 6 and a half to 7 foot Elemental but 5 foot Val wears one. Elemental armor is also protected by voice recognition and code phrase software. Needless to say there's no way they could just walk out with 3 suits.

Protect and Survive - S1-E6

Factual error: On Trellwan, Victor Davion piloted a Victor and Galen Cox a Crusader. The cartoon has Victor in a Mauler and Galen in a Centurion. The Mauler is a particularly silly choice as it is a new Kurita (the Davion families traditional enemies) mech that was not in production during the Clan invasion of Trellwan.

Road to Camelot - S1-E9

Factual error: The First Sommerset Strikers upgrade their mechs with Enhanced Imaging technology. EI cannot be used without Clan cybernetic implants that look like luminous tattoos. None of the Strikers have the implants, yet they still use EI.

Road to Camelot - S1-E9

Factual error: Camelot Command's computer tells Franklin that Aleksandr Kerensky created the Clans before leaving the Inner Sphere. The Clans were created by his son Nicholas decades after the Exodus.
