"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.

This actually came out in 2007, not 2010. It's a sad shame that both Nickelodeon, and even Cartoon Network, rejected this show. It would've saved either channel!!! This was made by Lynne Naylor and Chris Reccardi, who were known for their work on Tiny Toons, Ren and Stimpy, Powerpuff Girls (original), Samurai Jack, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!, Chowder, and even Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi (if I'm not mistaken). I really love the Modifyers, and I wish Disney Channel picked up this show, since both CN and Nick refused to pick this up. And I'm not joking, Cartoon Network was the only other network besides Nickelodeon that refused to pick this show up. This is why Disney Channel picked up the Modifyers. I just absolutely adore Mae Whitman's performance of Agent Xero. Agent Xero was such an adorable character, and I was so sad that I won't see her adventures with Mole. Since Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon still refused to green light this show, why not Disney Channel? I know this pilot is 10 years out of date, but it would've worked more if this was a TV series.

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.

Sometimes, you see a one-shot comic or cartoon and you realize that this has so much potential, but then you learn that there's never going to be any more to it. Such is the case with "The Modifyers", a one-episode pilot that was briefly considered by Nickelodeon but was passed on.The plot focuses on the young, brave, and slightly mischievous Xero, an agent for a secret mystery-cracking organization called "The Modifyers" who operate in a strange city of abstract visuals and unusual characters With help from her small sidekick/transforming tool Mole and her own power of disguise, she has infiltrated the organization of the evil Baron Vain as "Lacey Shadows" and is competing with one of his henchmen for possession of a valuable object. However, when she tries to deliver the object to her boss, Xero ends up losing track of it, and she ends up getting pulled into more trouble.The graphical style is incredibly rich and detailed, kind of like Steampunk meets Dr. Seuss, with some 60s spy flair and a bit of magical girl influence for good measure. The characters have such flexible expressions, and you can't help but look when Xero smiles. Mae Whitman delivers a pleasant vocal charm as Xero, and Jeff Bennett and Paul Rugg provide equally-memorable dialogue.If anything bad can really be said about this, it's that the plot is a little underdeveloped, but since this is a pilot, it's not so much a flaw as it is proof that so much more could've been done had this achieved full show-status. Hopefully, somebody in the higher-levels of TV programming will someday take another look at this and decide to give it a shot.
