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.

Tom Magis Great concept, great pilot... Sadly, it seems abandoned... Lost forever like Half Life 3...
camiacono 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.
Jason 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.
Maetch01 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.
