The Fallout TV show is here and it is loaded with Easter eggs and references to all the games.
Which isn’t all that surprising as we know thatthe Fallout TV show is canon, according Todd Howard.
It’s not actually true, unfortunately, given how variable bomb yields are.
Prepare for the Future!
You’re S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
Fun fact: it’s made from cow shit.
Or the coastal sandbank that wrecked it, depending on the source.
They nuked the fridge
There’s two potential Easter eggs here.
A similar weapon appears in Fallout 3 under the name Rock-It Launcher.
Episode 2
It’s Dogmeat!
Don’t worry, he doesn’t die.
Is that a super mutant?
Although the fingers moving here suggests this one is very much still alive.
Automated Turrets
When Wilzig is escaping the Enclave lab we see a classic Fallout Automated Turret.
Although there’s no way of telling what this one was.
According to a quote in Fallout 4 the name came from Chinese prisoners and means monster or demon.
However, the prominent airplane nose is a clear call out to the classic settlement.
They’re harmless and generally kept in settlements for food, milk, and leather.
Pip-Boys for everyone
When Lucy visits Ma’s Sundries there a range of Pip-Boys in the window.
There are others hanging in the window but we never really get a good enough look to identify them.
These have appeared in several games as everything from a crafting item to a loot box.
Unfortunately it’s open so we can’t see what the design is on the lid.
The first cat in space!
Both have appeared in every Bethesda Fallout game in some form.
It does also look a little like some concept fan art for an’Aggrresive Radaxolotl by Carlos Ochoa.
Episode 4
It’s an evil Mister Handy
Mr.
Handy is a common robot throughout the Fallout series.
In this case this is Snip-Snip, a medical Mr.
Handy currently performing organ harvesting for bandits.
And yes, it it Matt Berry providing the voice.
Abraxo cleaner
When Lucy makes her escape from the organ harvesting trap she uses Abraxo cleaner.
This has been a mainstay of the series since Fallout 3 as a crafting resource and sellable item.
This seems to be modeled on the Fallout 4 version.
Leather armor
When Lucy leaves the Super-Duper Mart she’s wearing some classic leather armor.
It was included in the first game as an in-joke and stuck around.
Fiends
The brief fight Maximus and Lucy have on the bridge is with two fiends.
They hate basically everyone and, in-game, attack anyone they meet on sight.
Codsworth is also the name of the specific companion Mr Handy you might have in Fallout 4.
The show is also set about 15 years after New Vegas.
Red Rocket
The next time we see Thaddeus he’s approaching a Red Rocket.
In the lore of Fallout it’s basically a gas station for atomic cars.
Here though we can clearly see Cooper is reading Tesla Magazine #7 from Fallout 4.
In the game world, finding and reading these gives you a boost to your energy weapon damage.
Specifically the Colt 6520 pistol that appears in Fallout 1 and 2.
It’s a Fallout 4/76 assault rifle, specifically with the long barrel mod.
A sort of Robobrain
Fallout has a long history of brain-in-jar robots appearing every game.
The real Vault-Tech
There’s a lot going on in this Vault-Tech meeting.
Big MT is a research centre that appears in New Vegas.
RobCo is the robotic and software in all the games.
While, finally REPCON is the Rocket Engineering and Production Company of Nevada.
More importantly when this group are throwing around ideas for vault experiments they’re all from the game.
(Thanks again to Chris for pointing that out.)
Laser pistols appear in all the games and are oddly absent in the show considering.
DEATHCLAWWWWWWW
The final shot of the show reveals not one but two surprises.
The first being a Deathclaw skull.
The Lucky 38 Resort and Casino is the big tower and those prongs at the top are unmistakable.
