Trivia

 * Ash Prime's helmet could be loosely based on the traditional Kabuto Samurai helmet and shows certain aspects of other Samurai Helmets like the oversized chin guard.
 * The ponytail on the Ash Prime helmet is somewhat reminiscent of the ponytail in Ash's original concept art.
 * This "ponytail" was originally intended to be included in his final design, however, cloth physics at the time did not permit it.
 * In the Codex, Ash Prime's arm blades are mounted underneath the wrist; in-game, however, the blades are positioned above his wrists much like the normal Ash.
 * Ash Prime's ability features are energy ribbons that emerge from Ash Prime when he appears out of Smoke Screen and when he reaches his destination from Teleport.
 * Ash Prime has Orokin writing on his torso that says "Tenno Model 24N - Serial 147H".
 * Ash Prime's Arsenal image shows him holding the Vectis Prime as a lefty. Although this may be unintentional, it could hint to Ash Prime being ambidextrous, hence why he is equally efficient with both arm blades.
