Trivia[]
- This is the only series where it was possible to obtain all the Series 1 and Evolution characters in a different form.
- As the series involved the Gogo's swapping their heads, some of the characters were redesigned. Examples include Sago having his arms on his sides, and Eco obtaining a ridiculous, large head bigger than his body.
- The comics for each issue were drawn by five different artists each with a unique style. The first five comics in each issue were drawn by Jack Lawrence, while three other artists did the comics for issues 6-80 (with the exception of 10) The artists were Anthony Williams, Kev Hopgood and Nigel Dobbyn. Issue 10's comic was drawn by Ellen Lindner, making her the only artist to draw the comics for one issue.
- The comics had several mistakes and errors in them, including mistaking some Gogo's with others, and even having incorrect character designs.
- The magazine's final issue was released in July 2011, in which it covered Bigu.
- Upon it's release, there was free merchandise when you ordered various times, including:
- Even though the magazine mainly focused on the Series 1 and Evolution Gogo's, some Explorer Gogo's can be seen in the comics for the earlier issues.
- When first released, there was a free flyer that came with Issue 1, along with a poster drawn by Jack Lawrence containing Series 1 Gogo's. Aside from that, Issue 2 contained a free comic book holder.
- Micro Moshi Mega Heads (from the Moshi Monsters franchise) are a very similar product that most likely took inspiration from Mega Metropolis.
- In the United Kingdom, the first issue was 99p, while the rest were £3.99 each week.
- On the back of the earlier issues, you could see a miniature red coloured Mosh. This can imply that Series 1 Gogo's were going to appear alongside Evolution in Mini form.
- Mega Angiru is the only figure to appear in a light yellow colour in the series. It can also be seen in the Mega Metropolis commercial.

Fusion is an alternate series of Mega Metropolis, and it was implied to be only released in the Philippines and Asia. There were plans in 2012 to release Fusion in North America. It was set to release in Fall 2012, but it was cancelled. According to Sang Pham, and JDNA, the cancellation was likely due to the franchise being less popular.
The Fusion series had a fourth of the amount of the 80 Mega and Mini Gogo's, and it doesn't have the Pods. In North America, They would have a "Buddies and Kiddies" booster pack, consisting of two Mega and Mini Gogo's in each one.
In the late 2010's, Fusion was released in Indonesia under a new packaging that resembled other series released in the Pacific.
