The Ben 10 Pilot Was ACTUALLY REAL | Lost Media FOUND

For years, we've been teased with alleged leaked screenshots of an unaired Ben 10 pilot. Confirmation on whether or not it was real was both confirmed and denied by two reliable sources, so what's the tie-breaker? Let's delve into the complete history of these rumors, and what lead to a game-changing discovery.

PROMOTE #Ben10forMultiVersus on Twitter!!

Ran into this post on my feed. Great detective work. Yep. It was a test for the oversees studios. We test the studios we want to use by having them animate a few scenes from the storyboards. Character interactions for acting and of course a transformation scene. I love that you also had pages from the zine we put together for ComicCon.

I'd like to imagine now that the original pilot is now an alt dimension

As a character designer myself, I would pay RIDICULOUS amounts of money for an official Ben 10 art book featuring concept art, design process, scrapped ideas, etc.

[TonikoPantoja]

I might be wrong here - but that MIGHT just be a vendor test. I personally don't think its a full pilot. Usually with tv animated series, the studio sends out a reel/animatic from a sequence to a variety of vendor studios to see which one they'd decide to stick with long term.

I just occurred to me that the Ben 10 franchise is 16 years old at this point. I can’t believe my favourite franchise is nearly 20 years old.

The original premise of Ben 10 was very similar to the DC comic "Dial H for Hero" which might have contributed to the change to aliens.

[vetarlittorf]

If the concept art is true, then I can see why they changed it. Ben's bowl cut simply doesn't suit him and Gwen having a long ponytail would be harder to animate. I'm glad they changed it because the hairstyles we got for Ben and Gwen in the final product are far superior.

Lost media is like finding acident treasure in a way. It's always a relief when something cool like this is finally found and real as well.
Case in point I love this series and fandom everytime something cool or exciting happens in it, it makes me proud to be part of something big and even times eventful too.

My personal theory is that Washington B.C was originally supposed to be the Pilot episode. The grocery store footage used in this missing pilot and the fact that the Pop-Up Trivia says Animo was inspired by the events of “And there was 10” to continue his experiments makes me think the Missing pilot was basically the episode Washington B.C. with some obvious changes in the plot.
The problems with my theory would be how would you combine Ben finding the omnitrix with a Dr. Animo plot, I feel it would take to much time.
Unless the show starts with Ben already having the watch (like in the reboot). It could be implied Ben already found the watch, and the missing pilot could somewhat play like the one we know. Since in the episode(Washington B.C) Ben has to learn what being a hero truly is, and the episode also features Heatblast and Fourarms, 2 of the most promoted aliens.

The flying skull man returns.
Finding lost media is just like treasure hunting.
And that Ben 10 edit for the, Multiversus looks Awesome.

[Feedback]

Yo, this is sick

Also, regarding the feedback, and bloxx bits
I didn't notice the promos using a different background, but it is really cool to see both sequences with the Alien Force/ Ultimate Alien transformation backgrounds, some epic stuff in this vid of yours

[josephdavey]

if Multiverses does use anything ben 10 related I think Rath, Water Hazard, Bullfrag and heatblast would by my top picks for playable aliens.

[ryzl]

My bet for Multiversus is that They'd put one Ben as the character, and add the rest of the series counterparts as skins. I hope its they add the OV one with Hoodie. For character animation, i think they might go with Ben in human form normally, but when performing attacks or special moves, he changes aliens. Could be cool

[RadikAlice]

Mad respect to Rahk-Zi for making a _truly_ historic discovery in the history of Ben 10
And mighty thanks to you for spreading the word Kuro

[yxrackman]

There could be an alternate time line where the pilot existed everything would go out as normal with minor differences

[perry-]

Glad to see the Lost and Found getting shouted out! This is an amazing find!

[SocksFCGameArchives]

The Ripjaws with 2 tails was actually an action figure, as well as Stinkfly with the red eyes. In the intro, we see a green Ripjaws design at the numbers part. Could that have been an earlier design?

[shaggymofo]

I love Dave Johnson, I always wondered how would he draw a teen Gwen and Ben as well as the aliens. had he stay for alien force.

[SpaceFluffDW]

I don’t care what anyone says, Kuros surname is “the artist”

[ThatRipOff]

Honestly, I like the look of Ponytail Gwen even more. It may not be quite as unique of a hairstyle, but I really like the design. Would've been a extra pain to animate, though.
