Trivia

• TMK-500 is the only character King Knight can play Joustus with that doesn't have its own card. This is likely because it is a Tinkerbot.
• TMK-500, short for Turn My Key-500, has this name because the developers wanted to have some character say the line "Turn my key!" since Shovel of Hope.
• In Free Play mode, TMK-500 is incorrectly colored like a normal Tinkerbot (blue instead of gray).
