Defenders of DynaTron City 1992 Pilot Episode Unsold animated television short film pilot

The story takes place in Dynatron City, a futuristic metropolis full of varied technological wonders including Proto Cola, a soda that not only energized and revitalizes consumers but causes spontaneous mutation due to its radioactivity. While inhabitants of Dynatron City fall in love with the drink, one can’t help but wonder if city doctors aren’t battling just so much cancer. Dr. Mayhem is bewildered by the positive response to his drink, noting that he created it in an attempt to terrify the populace but they have embraced it and him. Our heroes begin as ordinary citizens of the city, delivering a shipment of Proto Cola to Dr. Mayhem’s warehouse/headquarters. When Mayhem stiffs them on payment they decide to use brute force to right the wrong but are quickly captured along with a mutated monkey boy already in Mayhem’s possession. Due to a lack of planning uncharacteristic of Mayhem’s apparent genius, monkey boy is able to slip the chains but abandons his companions in the search for bananas. He slips on a rogue peel and accidentally fills the chamber they’re being held in with Proto Cola and electrifies it, causing sever spontaneous mutation to occur, thus the Defenders of Dynatron City are born.
