Pitch Pilot
In 2013 a pilot was made to pitch the series to the network. The characters had some design changes compared to the final show, most notably Kiki, who's has a darker skin tone and without a hair band and Marina who's hair is a darker shade of blonde, the character Commissioner Goldstar is also noticeably absent. The pilot wasn't found until 2018 when its creator John Andrews uploaded it onto his Vimeo.
