2019 - 2024 The FULL series is OUT NOW! Watch all 8 episodes here: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/25605447/ -------------------------PLEASE READ----------------------- BEWARE, IT IS LONG -RECAP-: On August 26 2019, I thought about starting an animated series after gaining interest from Tilly’s old series “Catnapped”, though I had no idea what I was going to do with it, so I made it superhero-themed. The name was originally going to be “A Team of ULTRA Bolts”, but due to a typo, I made it UTRA instead because I thought it would be cool!! I originally planned to have 7 major characters in the series (Jake, Amelia, Michael, Isabelle, Alice, Thomas, and Zodian), but as the series grew on, I increased the amount of major characters and added extra sub-plots and story arcs. I originally planed for the series to have 4-5 episodes, but in April 2020, I increased it to 8 (Mainly because I was copying Minecraft: Story Mode XD). So I released Episodes 1 & 2 within two months (Although looking back at them, they weren’t well written, as sone parts don't make sense and I left a bunch of plot holes about the characters that needed to be explained in future episodes. >.<) In June 2020, just when I written the script and sent out the lines for the old draft of episode 3, I lost interest in my series as episodes 1 & 2 felt old and boring, so I went ahead and quit the series, until April 1 2021, when I missed working on my series and decided to bring it back. Then one month later, I rewrote episode 3’s script, recasted every single Character from the first 2 episodes (Except mine and Tilly’s), and animated and released episode 3. (I still wish I remade episodes 1 and 2 though, but after episode 2, the series gets better, and I’m glad I rewrote episode 3’s script to the current version, though I would've aldo tweeked some parts in some of the episodes' scripts. There was a point when I casted @MyaIsAwesome as the Dark Dragon for episode 2, but that was a direct mistake as the voice didn't fit to what I envisioned, So when that scratcher left scratch I took over as voice actor for the Dark Dragon, and recorded new lines for episode 2 snd onwards. As more characters came, I opened auditions each time an episode was released. It would often take me a year to animate an episode or two. -CELEBRATION-: And now… WE’VE REACHED 5 YEARS OF A TEAM OF UTRA BOLTS!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! Firstly, I’d like to say a MASSIVE thank you to all of you for watching my series, and everyone who voice acted in it (Some who left Scratch too), everyone who submitted background characters for my series, and Tilly for being my biggest supporter throughout the 5 years!!! This has been an exciting, emotional, and bumpy ride to this point, but by God’s grace, I made it here!! Now I have 6 episodes released, 1 with it’s animation finished, and another one left to finish animating!!! So to celebrate, I decided to release the OFFICIAL POSTER for the series (Which is an improvement from the one I did 5 years ago: and I would like to announce that (As you might know) I’ll be release a FINAL TRAILER for episodes 7 & 8, It will indicate that the episodes are fully done, and I want to make this finale premiere special, so I’ll be releasing 6 TV Spots on my YouTube channel, 1 each day, until the finale releases! And as a bonus, I’ll be releasing a character posters and profile pictures project, so if you want to celebrate the finale premiere, you can use the character posters as banners or the profile pictures for your profile!! It’s going to be the biggest and ambitious finale you’ll ever see on Scratch! If you’ve read up to here, comment “Happy 5 years” Thank you all so much! :) - Sam Credits: Tilly for Bow tie and structure of the Hellstro Beasts for structure of the characters All of you for watching my series since it's beginning Music: Really Slow Motion - Most Epic Battle Ever (Deadwood)
