The only noteworthy thing you bring up is that some things ended up in the 2003 show, like the vehicle designs, but how do we know these aren't just different pitches based on the same early toy designs and mandates?

[QUOTE=CyberCubed;1747008]There were two different pitches for shows there. One was going to be a CG animated series seemingly more Mirage-centered, and the other was going to be a WB cartoon. Both were considered around 2001 before eventually Mirage went with 4kids and we got the 2k3 series.
Overall they went with the best option. 2001-era CG would have aged horribly and most of it is the same Mirage stuff that the 2k3 series covered, and while the WB cartoon did have nice designs for the Turtles, it probably would have been a short 52-65 ep Saturday Morning series on KidsWB in the early 2000's.[/QUOTE
Damn, I knew there was 2 pitches but I just figured these all came from the same one, the turtle designs look relatively similar in both, looking a lot like the mirage turtles. I figured the test animation was just early early work for the same pitch as the 5 minute pilot. I rushed this video out a little bit I must’ve missed something.
I’m currently working on a lost episodes/seasons of the 2k3 series information video. I hope this next video can bring back some memories.
