The Modifyers is an animated short created by Chris Reccardi and Lynne Naylor intended as a pilot for Nickelodeon. The short is about Agent Xero who is sent out to recover the All Seeing Eye which has been stolen from the Museum of Odd Stuff by Rat, the cohort of the evil Baron Vain. Along his way back to Baron Vain, Rat is met by Lacey Shadows who attempts to recover the eye instead of Rat for the Baron. The two fight over who is able to return the artifact and ultimately it is revealed that Lacey is actually Agent Xero in disguise. After she is revealed, she foils the Baron's plans and Xero and her sidekick Katz return the eye.

Great concept, great pilot... Sadly, it seems abandoned... Lost forever like Half Life 3...

It's been years since this pilot has been shown to the public and I'm wondering why this hasn't green lite. It's popular, funny, cute and overall everything animation fan want in a cartoon now a days and I'm sure if there was a kickstarter of some kind it would reach more than it's intended goal. I'm not sure how pilots work but If the original creators did get the rights back it would be a prime series to put on netflix.

"The Modifyers" is an American 12-minute animated cartoon from 2010 that served as an appetizer and pilot project for a potential Nickelodeon show with the same name and characters. It did not happen as this one never got picked up. But looking at the IMDb rating here, I guess it still has its fans. And honestly this mix of SciFi, animation and comedy wasn't bad, had some solid moments and characters I will admit. I doubt this is worse than any/some of the stuff Nickelodeon has actually picked on in the last decade maybe. It shows that several Emmy nominees worked on this pilot project here as there is a certain level of class attached to it. Voice acting is okay too. The animation style sure looks a bit retro and this one could also be a lot older judging from the visual side. But this is not a criticism at all and you probably know it. All in all, there may not be one area where this short film really stands out, but it is a well-rounded effort in pretty much all fields. Would have deserved to get picked up. I recommend checking it out.

I seen the plot of the show and it ends in a cliff hanger which I would think they would be making a new episode but no nick shut it down. I wanted to see what would happen to them. This would have been on the top of the list of shows with the most views if it wasn't rejected by nick and now in 2014 a tasteless show aired on nick about two ducks who sell bread YET they had the nerve to say no to this show which I believe could have became a huge hit who doesn't like a show with a crime fighting girl who -Spoiler- had her cover blown by a ring just too big for her finger by the way the shows only episode ended after the "evil villain" found her ring. This show even though the only episode was about 12 minutes long it was the best show that I have ever seen. The show was well done may have needed a little work, by that I mean action but overall no other work is needed. Also who stops a show without a season to test to see if it is a good show. I hate shows that end on cliff hangers but I hate a show that final and first episode ends on a cliff hanger. You had the cliff hanger to lead into a new show which even said to be continued because the producer thought someday if not today or tomorrow we will get a new show for this up and it will be great. 4 years later still no new show and people still believe that their will be a new show soon hopefully in the next year or so.
