Syp would cast her costars Ella Rhee, Xanthe Folan, EthanChaotic, Sandguardians creator Intro-Mind himself as the voices of Sarah Daws, Nicole Vega, Randy DeLuca, and Geff Rodrigo respectively during the production of Classic Season 2 and retained for the current series continuity.

Trivia
- Sandguardians and Guard Duty share the majority of the same central cast members, including Intro-Mind, Ella Rhee, Xanthe Folan, Syp, and EthanChaotic as Geff, Sarah, Nicole, June, and Randy in Guard Duty.
- The premiere days of Sandguardians' first episode and Guard Duty's original series pilot are only six days apart, both premiering in November 2011. Likewise, Syp The Mighty and Intro-Mind have known each other since that time since both were fans of Red vs. Blue, one of the earliest Halo machinima series.
- The development of Sandguardians' fourth season in 2022 inspired Syp The Mighty to revive Guard Duty later that same year and subsequently cast Ella Rhee, Xanthe Folan, EthanChaotic, and Intro-Mind himself in Classic Season 2. In a way, Intro-Mind is the reason Guard Duty is still ongoing.
- While not explicitly canonical to one another, Syp and Intro-Mind consider Guard Duty and Sandguardians to take place within the same world at different points in time.
- Intro-Mind was the sole writer for the first three seasons of Sandguardians, as well as most of Season 4 with the exception of its finale where he was joined by Syp.
