Man, does anyone else remember the buzz about that unaired pilot for the cartoon called Radical Squadron back in the 90s? It's like it vanished into thin air. The show eventually got picked up and renamed but they say the pilot had this darker tone and I've heard it had completely different voice actors. Never got to see it myself but I'm dying to know if anyone here has more deets or, fingers crossed, a copy hidden in their attic?

Let's try to piece this together. There should be more clues about Radical Squadron's pilot out there. Often times, storyboards, scripts, or promotional material will slip through the cracks. These can lead us closer to the actual footage. Anyone got leads on those? Sometimes they're auctioned off or archived in university collections. Also, check early internet forums, somebody might've mentioned it back in the day.

new here and WOW didn't expect to see a post about Radical Squadron! I’d give my left shoe to see that pilot. Has anyone tried reaching out to the original show creators on social media or something? Maybe they can shed some light on this lost gem.

From what I know the show that Radical Squadron became had every trace of that pilot scrubbed due to significant rebranding. There's a good chance that there are copies out there somewhere, likely with someone who worked on the original production. Networking with animation industry vets could be key to uncovering it. Good luck, it's a tough one!

Yeah, they definitely had a completely different cast for the pilot. It's like this piece of media just doesn't want to be found. But man, imagine how cool it would be if it lived up to that darker, grittier reputation. Would've been ahead of its time for the 90s I bet.

Collector here. Radical Squadron's unaired pilot is one of those holy grails of lost media. Been on the lookout for years at garage sales and old rental stores. No luck so far, but the search continues! The curiosity is killin' me—wish someone would just upload it already!

Heard a rumor once that the unaired pilot's theme song was way more intense, and they had to tone it down for the networks. No idea if it’s true, but wouldn’t surprise me with the 90s edgy vibe they were going for. Anyone got the scoop on that?

I totally remember Radical Squadron! The original darker pilot was such a legend at my school, but none of us ever saw it. Pretty sure they switched the voice actors when they changed the name. It would be amazing to see how different it was from the series that aired. The hunt for lost media is such a thrill!
