*In the Relocated mini-series of the popular machinima web-series ''Red vs. Blue'', Sarge of Red Team "upgraded" their Warthog with an EMP cannon. Although it was intended to have a similar role to that of the Gremlin, his modifications caused the Warthog to stall every time it was fired. It is unknown if the EMP cannon concept was a reference to the Gremlin or merely a coincidence.
