Trivia
- He may be similar to Luke Skywalker from Star Wars, who had his hand sliced off and put back into place by a medical droid, 2-1B. This may be a reference to Luke Skywalker, whom of which Mark Hamill played, who is also the voice of Skips. He may also be similar to the GWAR character, Techno Destructo, who has a robot arm and similar mohawk.
- His voice actor, Steve Blum voices Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios in the animated series Star Wars Rebels.
- He drives and owns a DeLorean DMC-12.
- He used to have a wooden arm that Skips built for him until centuries later, when he traded it for an upgrade.
- His name used to be Samson, but once he became a Technomancer, he changed his name to Techmo.
- Techmo may also have eternal life, as Skips fixed his arm during the late 1700s and he couldn't have lived until the present day (however it is also possible that he has been using technology to keep himself alive and well). "Skips in the Saddle " confirms that he's immortal when he and Gary were picking ladies and Gary saids that they're both immortal.
- He is able to go inside computers to kill errors.
- He was possessed by Doom Ma Geddon to fight Skips.
- When he moves his fingers, it sounds as if he has both fingers and bones, even though he has a mechanic refaction.
- His mechanical hand says "Yoshimoto", which could possibly be a reference to the character Yoshimitsu, from both of the video game series Tekken and Soul Calibur, who also has a robotic arm.
- This is also a reference to the PlayCo armboy, which was also developed by "Yoshimoto".
- When he is inside computers, he is seen with both of his natural hands and both his natural eyes.
- He is in a band that made a techno remix of Yankee Doodle.
- This remix is heard once more in "A Skips in Time".
- He is the only real Technomancer so far, since Rigby was the only one in The Realm of Darthon. However, Rigby was just pretending to be one.
- He also looks remarkably like an elf decker from the table-top RPG Shadowrun.
- Techmo bears a resemblance to an Adventure Time character named Ash.
- His name might be a reference to the video game company Tecmo (prior merging with Koei as Tecmo Koei), best known for making the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive series, thus why Techmo might have a katana on his back.
- It was revealed in "A Skips in Time" that he is not only a Technomancer, but a stormchaser as well.
- It was also revealed in A Skips in Time that he has a panini maker in his arm.
