This is a page documenting the mysteries of the original Bakugan Battle Brawlers series, from seasons 1-4.

Season 1

The BakuBowl commercial had CAD models of Hydranoid, Silent Naga, and Infinity Dragonoid, were they going to get released?

Season 2

The anime exclusives

Plenty of anime exclusive Bakugan, were they supposed to be released? Who knows, it seems like they weren't, they did have models in the anime. A good point on Discord shows that Saint Nemus has space for an Attribute wheel and Minx Elfin has all the hollow space, perhaps they could have been toys. Of course, Sega Toys made some of the NV Arc 2 Bakugan into toys thankfully, but there are still some missing out, such as the Vexos Mechanical Bakugan. Does Saint Nemus have a prototype?

The unreleased Bakugan

NV had an interesting poster showing all the releases seen here. Early art, Elico seems different. Still, lot of unreleased Bakugan there, eventually they got released in later seasons except for Flare Wilda and Flash Falcon Fly. Several years later they do exist after all, only prototypes of Darkus and Ventus Flash Falcon Fly have been seen, but there is a finished Flare Wilda that lights up. There is also a prototype Mutant Elfin

Now, all the other Bakugan..

• Dartaak
• Zeon Hylash
• Cyclone Percival
• Iron Dragonoid
• Sky & Gaia Dragonoid
• Meta Dragonoid
• Flash Ingram

Did these actually exist during this season? We've seen a prototype Mutant Elfin and it had a card in NV: Mutant Elfin (3/7sa). So did the other unreleased Special Attacks and Traps, they all had cards. The cards were from Bakugan.com, so if they had a card - they probably had made some early models right? Do they exist? Are there any prototypes of these Bakugan out there?

the video-game sprites

There are sprites for the Resistance Evolution Bakugan in Bakugan RotR, interestingly there is a sprite for Dryoid which seems to be Sega art.

There is a sprite for Magma Wilda that looks exactly like the early art for Flare Wilda on the NV poster except the body is metal instead of glowing red. There is also a sprite for Saint Nemus that does not have the t-pose like ball, so maybe all these Bakugan did have plans for toys after all? Including Dryoid?

Season 3

There wasn't much problems with GI, no unreleased Bakugan (...well, there were the Wave 5 Battle Gear and Pyrus Vicer), but definitely some ultra rare Bakugan like Volt Elezoid and Buz Hornix. However, there are some interesting finds such as Pyrus Phantom Dharak and a translucent Darkus Phantom Dharak, perhaps these were released in Europe somewhere?

Season 4

The biggest mystery of them all, the final season, lot of cancelled things, some things that were released or weren't? We'll never know. I wonder what Bakugan is on Low Jump? What was with Europe getting everything like those Mobile Assaults, Core Bakugan? Why didn't Spin Master bring Krowll, Mutant Krowll, and Boulderon to NA, could this have been Wave 3 since oddly Wave 3 had no Bakugan balls at all? What's up with that Translucent BakuEvolution Alpha Hydranoid?

BakuNanos

Wave 3 Bakunanos: Aeroblaze, Jamsaber, Spearax, and Orehammer. No pics available besides packaging pics from DT and the Bakugan site. According to DT, BakuNano was discontinued in NA but some managed to show up in certain stores, such as Learning Express. It seems they may have showed up in EU, but not enough info to verify. BakuNano are probably something that would interest many so this may be why it was never sold online and there are no pics. Possibly why BakuNano were next to impossible to find after Wave 2, perhaps they might have made too many and SM realized they probably shouldn't sell them.

Additionally, there are these other BakuNanos: Reconblast, Zillinger, Blamtheon, Snipeon, Boomenator, Boompike, Batterax. Seems like they were going to be released in the Season 4.5 toyline, do they exist? There is a pic of Snipeon thanks to DT so maybe they did have designs, he also mentioned there was a 3in1 BakuNano.

Combat Bakugan and Mechtogan

It seems there was going to be Clear Mechtogan, but they were cancelled.

The Combat Sets in Wave 2, do they exist? The Bakugan exist and at least one packaging was seen, we also have pics of these four Bakugan, and 1/4 of the Mechtogan (Dreadeon).

• Combat Taylean
• Combat Helios
• Combat Trister (seen on a russian website)
• Combat Razenoid (came with Combat Dreadeon)

One interesting to note is Dimensions had a Combat Slynix, Silent Strike, and Accelerak. Dimensions obviously had all attributes of Mechtogan (even though they weren't released) for obvious reasons, but Vexfist was released in the same wave but doesn't have a Combat version oddly. Perhaps Combat versions of these three Mechtogan came with these Bakugan. Unfortunately no pics of them.

The mystery continues, it looks like there was a Wave 3 Combat sets too. The colors were Light Blue/Black. Absolutely no word of these being seen in stores and must have been EU exclusive. The pics that exist are from Taobao, no word of Combat Mechtogan for them.

• Combat Krowll (Krowll was an EU Exclusive)
• Combat Wolfurio

BakuSuper G Mutant Helios/Krowll/Krakenoid

BakuSuper G were those Mutant two-packs where the Bakugan were translucent and had high G-Power. It seems there were Super G two-packs with Mutant Helios/Krowll/Krakenoid, not much documentation though.

The EU Special Treatments

BakuSpark, BakuEclipse, and BakuPhantom. Previously BakuPhantom was thought to not even come to EU but they have been sold on eBay. There are some interesting things to this, all of these three treatments seem like it was only for only Sky Raiders, think again.

There is a BakuEclipse Krowll, BakuPhantom Horridian, Mutant Krakenoid, I have never seen packaging of non Sky Raider Bakugan with these three Special Treatments.

There are also some Battle Suits with these treatments exclusive to Russia. Light vs. Dark Battle Suit, what is this?

The final releases: Mechtogans, Marvel Bakugan, and BakuLegacy

DT said Mandibor would be released, but it seems like SM discontinued Bakugan before this could happen, he mentioned it was Pyrus and Ventus and its Gs, they do exist and were sold on Taobao. There are also variants of Smasheon and Miserak that have no documentation of releasing, perhaps they were Season 4.5 re-releases.

More solo packs with that BakuLegacy packaging, one with non-special treatments of the Mutant Helios, there's also a Subterra Worton. I know the BakuLegacy three pack was released in NA, but were the solos released too?

There is also Chromopod, which nobody knows if it was released or not, no package ever seen, only Aquos and Pyrus were seen on Taobao. Months later there is a poster showing Chromopod, maybe he was released? Who knows?

There's still more, there is a toy of Thor, thought to not exist. It is ACTUAL packaging, wonder what card is included? I have searched far and have no proof Thor was ever released, the package of Thor said "Imported into the EU" I think. Does Hulk exist? What about The Mighty Thor and Red Hulk?

There is an Amazon listing talking about Thor vs. Taylean and Hulk vs Blitz Dragonoid, but that doesn't mean anything.

Season 5

Season 5 was mentioned by DT, we thought it was an actual season 5. Going back to his comments he mentioned it would be released in the later half of 2012, it would be a "blast", and there would be two evolutions of Drago. He never clarified his comments after that, even during BakuBlasters release. Now I think he was talking about BakuBlasters all this time, perhaps SM just left it as Season 4.5 (the filenames were called 4.75 interestingly).

One thing to note is BakuBlasters had a different color scheme compared to Season 4. Each season of Bakugan, the color schemes were altered slightly... season 5 after all?
