Time, Be Still - S1-E14

Character mistake: The whole episode begins with a wrong premise, that somehow is true anyway; the federation has just one Mobile Suit. That's not true, as it has also the Guntank and Guncannon, which engaged Zeon in the previous episode, and still they are not used in this episode, so the plan works as intended. Funny they'd have somehow intel so precise that they can run a commando raid targeting exactly the armor weak spots, but at the same time ignore the elementary facts about the enemy forces.

Route 7-11 - S1-E12

Character mistake: In this episode, they constantly refer to the semi as an eighteen wheeler. The tractor would have tandem (two) rear axles with dual tires. This one has only one rear axle on the tractor. Added up, the rig only has fourteen wheels.
