Trivia[]

Twisted Metal 2[]
- In the instruction manual, Captain Rogers is incorrectly identified as Captain Roberts who is the Driver of Outlaw.
- In earlier versions of the game, his name was "Col. Dawson".
Twisted Metal III[]
- If in Twisted Metal III the Captain Rogers is the same character from Twisted Metal 2, this poses a conflict in when TMIII takes place. As it states Captain Rogers has aged two more years between 2 and III, this conflicts with how Jamie Roberts, one of the two drivers of Outlaw, has aged five years between 2 and III.
Twisted Metal: Head-On[]
- The character that drivers Warthog in Head-On known as Colonel Hall was actually called "Cpt. Rogers" in an early version of the game when it was still known as Twisted Metal: Rage.
