Notes & Trivia[]
- In the Mobile Suit Gundam novelization, his full name is given as "Lom Flanagan".
- Dr. Flanagan's character design is notably different in the Mobile Suit Gundam TV series compared to the movie trilogies. This is due to a redesign by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, who did not design the original character for TV version. Yasuhiko's design has been used to represent Dr. Flanagan in all media since.
- The design change of Dr. Flanagan is parodied in Mobile Suit Gundam-san, which has the two Dr. Flanagans fighting for the role in the "Doctor Sayla Mass" segment.
