*In the ''Deliver Hope'' trailer, Thom's armor is very similar to SPARTAN-B312's armor before Bungie decided to depict B312 with fully default armor in promotional materials. It is likely that Bungie gave this image to Thom to help associate the image with his successor S-B312.

*Thom was originally intended to play a larger role in ''Halo: Reach'' as a living member of Noble Team, and was described to be "cowboy-like". However, like [[Rosenda-A344]], he was ultimately cut from the game and only mentioned in the [[Noble Team performance reports]] as a now-deceased former member.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aOb6Nn8egA '''Youtube''': ''PAX 2010: *Bungie Panel*''] ([[Marcus Lehto]]: ''"And yes, originally, there were seven SPARTANs. A little trivia for you guys; Rosenda and Thom were two Spartans that didn't make the cut..."'')</ref>

*The manner of Thom's death, ensuring the detonation of a bomb within a Covenant ship, is remarkably similar to the deaths of [[Samuel-034]], and [[Jorge-052]]. However, in Samuel, and Jorge's cases, they chose to stay behind due to Samuel having to stay in the Covenant ship due to an armor breach and Jorge and Forge having to manually detonate improvised Slipspace drive "bombs", while Thom could not get out of the battlecruiser in time.
