MOTORCITY SEASON 2 MASTERPOST

once upon a time, over 10 years ago, just a few months after the announcement that Motorcity was officially canceled...the creators of the show took pity on their heartbroken fandom and gave us several glimpses of what season 2 might have been like. they saw how much we loved Motorcity and gave us every scrap of info they could at the time, so that we could use those scraps to imagine our own personal "Season 2" - whether it continue on in our fics, our fanart, or simply our own heads.

I'm making this masterpost so that none of this material will be lost or forgotten, and so any fanartists/fic writers still hanging around today can use it for inspiration. if there's any related material I've missed, PLEASE feel free to add it in a reblog or let me know in my inbox! I want this list to be as complete as we can make it! :)

Season 2 Writer's Wall posted (and later deleted) by @chrisprynoski on twitter, and shared on tumblr by @peopleofmotorcity, these pictures of the writer's wall showed us a "rough sketch" of what could have been, and gave our imaginations SO many fun theories and possibilities to play with. every blurry sticky note was a treasure to us. :')

Chris Prynoski's Fan Interview + Tumblr Q&A's this whole interview on youtube is a delight to listen to, and Part 2 in particular has some interesting bits about season 2. (skip to 17:10 for some good stuff about Texas and Chuck's backgrounds!)

-> Part 1 -> Part 2

Chris P also answered several juicy season 2 questions on tumblr. sadly his blog is deactivated now, but you can still read through all of them at the links below!

Capri Chilton - Mike Chilton's long lost big sister! I can't remember where or when it was first revealed that they were considering giving Mike a secret older sister, and I haven't been able to track down the origin. that being said, when it was revealed, the fandom loved the idea so much that they begged the creators to make it canon. Chris P busted out the "magical canon stick", gave us this delightful concept sketch, and "Capri Chilton" was born!

The Motorcity Series Bible "To help you all understand what it is you are reading, this is the material that Titmouse used to help pitch Motorcity, and it was also a tool for writers to use when coming up with episodes to help understand who the characters were before there was any other reference. That being said, this was one of the very first documents about Motorcity, so many things have changed or evolved from these early concepts." (x)

Motorcity Series Bible - Redacted Version (Pages 1, 2, 17, 19, 20) funfact: @peopleofmotorcity was the official? unofficial? tumblr blog for Motorcity, and it was run by a guy named Mac - an animator for the show who loved to tease and joke around with the fandom. before revealing the actual first 13 pages of the series bible, he posted this censored version as a prank - a mix of truth and trolling! it's up to the fandom to decide which is which. ;)

MTV Era Motorcity Masterpost a fantastic collection of glimpses into the original pilot/pitch trailer that would evolve into the show we know and love today, found and compiled by @waksworldrebooted. "In 2000, Chris Prynoski pitched a cartoon called Motorcity. He made a card and a website promoting the show, which wouldn't see the light of day until the Walt Disney Company got their hands on it."

Motorcity Unaired Pilot - 2009 Disney Version Originally aired during Comic Con 2012, the pilot was recorded and then posted on YouTube by Allison Simmons in July of 2012, later being privatized in 2022. The video was re uploaded onto VKVideo 22 days after its original posting to YouTube and is still currently available to watch online. (x)

I drew this for the Motorcity Fandom years ago and it never hit off, I just wanted to share again. I'm considering rewatching. @peopleofmotorcity u awake?

Wow, Jacob cooked up a storm of–nothing. It’s a blank table. Bad job, Jacob. Click picture for full view!

So, here's a master plan that I'm going to yell into the void. I became aware online yesterday that we can pester Disney+ by suggesting Motorcity as a show we'd want on their platform... I did it on all my devices, I got a bunch of friends irl to do it on their devices too. If we bug 'em enough, we might see Motorcity finally come to Disney+. That'll bring this show into the light more, make the active fandom happy, remind the old fans about this show, and maybe gain more fans. The Motorcity fandom innitially seemed sparse after all these years, but I realized that it's just dormant 'cause I keep finding more and more people who miss this show (they just don't post about it anymore). No clue if this will actually work, but I can dream.

Hello, I was wondering if you could post a full size version of the concept board you shared close ups of from that ask a couple weeks ago? I would really like to see the whole thing (and inspect every inch of it lol) Sorry if you only have those closeups, I just wanted to ask just in case :)

Those are all I’ve got my dude, sorry! TuT  Those are taken directly from posts by peopleofmotorcity, who worked on the show and was kind of the showrunners’ contact point on tumblr?  I don’t have any special insider knowledge, and I would also love to see a full size high res version haha.

Quoted from my Youtube comment: “The art, the story, the characters, the music, culminates to create one of the most imaginative and inspiring shows I've seen in the last decade; animated or otherwise. The amount of love, talent, and dedication that Chris Prynoski and his team put into the ONE season of Motorcity shows that this show ended WAY too soon for all the untapped potential it had. Most series WISH they could find their identity and focus in their first season and yet, Motorcity made it seem FLAWLESS. Motorcity had and still has one of the most amazing fanbases I've ever been apart of... Meeting other wonderful fans and being able to connect with some of the beautiful people who made this series possible, has instilled in me a kind of inspiring creativity I will have for the rest of my life. Motorcity made me a better artist and a better person and for that reason and more, I will always #FIGHTFORMOTORCITY“

A small spark can bring the coldest engine roaring back to life.

Stay tuned.  

When the link below has 1,000 comments with the hashtag #FIGHTFORMOTORCITY, and a reason why you love the show, I will be back with more information.

BEHOLD - the glorious season 2 writer's wall, posted for us by @peopleofmotorcity just a few months after Motorcity's tragic cancellation. :(

funfact: back in the day, the fandom tried starting a "motorcomic" project to use these sticky notes as writing prompts and put together our own season 2 in comic form. it never quite got off the ground and ended up fizzling away from what I remember, but it was a wonderful idea at the time.

I may or may not be looking through all these puzzle pieces again to try outlining/writing a season 2 on my own right now because godDAMMIT I love these characters and this big lovely sandbox too much to let 'em rest ;_;

My first attempt at colouring fanart! I'm armed with a 24 pack of crayola pencil crayons from the dollar store and I ain't afraid to use 'em! What I lack in supplies I'll make up for with determination!
