The training robots used by the animated Justice League (which shares The Zeta Project's DC Animated Universe continuity) are very similar to Zeta's first appearance in Batman Beyond, establishing that the robots were initially developed decades before Ro met Zeta. One of these robots was used by the government to attack Supergirl in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Fearful Symmetry", where he was noted to be a "Z8" type.
