- Mann Co. was first introduced into the TF universe on May 15, 2009 when the Spy Update Day 4 was released in the Team Fortress 2 Blog.
- According to the Mac Update's comic as well as Bidwell's Big Plan, Mann Co. products tend to break down, catch on fire (although Saxton Hale claims that that's how he knows the products are on), and melt into people's skulls.
