Summary
Tidbits
This marks the final appearance of a Coyote robot in the series, but Greg Weisman was not finished yet with the concept. He had planned for at least three more Coyotes to come, as a matter of fact, if not more. The first two (Coyotes 5.0 and 6.0) were to have appeared in the third season; Coyote 5.0 would be involved in some unknown way with Iago/Coldsteel, while Coyote 6.0 would (apparently on its own initiative) form a new version of the Pack as the Ultra Pack. And in the projected Gargoyles 2198 spinoff, there would have been a further Coyote, Coyote X, who had by this time developed enough sentience to be planning to take over the world (until the Space Spawn invaded, after which Coyote X, his eyes opened to larger horizons, upgraded his ambition to conquering the entire galaxy).
Xanatos's mention of the Cauldron of Life's being made out of iron, and connecting it to Coyote 4.0's ability to imprison Coyote the Trickster, is a foreshadowing of the revelation in Ill Met By Moonlight concerning the Third Race's vulnerability to iron, and also indicates (even before we discover this to be certain in The Gathering Part One) that Coyote is one of Oberon's Children.
