Line 1: {{trope}} Whenever someone decides to make an invention, they usually don't get it right [[Flawed Prototype\|the first time]]. Sometimes, it may result in [[Super Prototype~~\|Super Prototypes~~]]s that have to be scaled down and depowered for easy mass-production capacity. Other times, it may go wrong. [[Gone Horribly Wrong\|Horribly, horribly wrong,]] resulting in a string of machines ending in Mk. VIII, Mk IX, until it's finally (relatively) safe. Then, when someone shows you the Mk. X, you ask [[Fridge Horror\|what happened with 1-9?]] And there you have the Unseen Prototype(s). They are rarely mentioned in story, but come to mind once you realize that to get this far in an invention, there had to have been a lot of failures. ---- {{examples~~\|Examples:~~ }} == Anime and Manga == * The first time one of [[Mad Scientist\|Dr. Gero's]] creations appears in ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', it's Number 8. The next time one shows up, he's gone all the way up to 17. (An [[Omake]] illustration shows the fate of the numbers in ~~between--most~~between—most of them were failures or considered too uncontrollable.) * The title character of ''[[Yuria 100 Shiki]]'' is her inventor's 100th attempt at creating a [[Sex Bot]]. A few early models appear, including a crude inflatable doll. Line 16: * The previous tests of the teleporter in ''[[Half Life]] 2''. "What cat?!" Though, things don't go quite as planned with it even when it is seen. * Subject Delta of ''[[BioShock (series)]]'' already qualifies as a [[Super Prototype]], but the name "Delta" implies that there were three before him. Knowing what the people of Rapture were screwing around with, it couldn't have been pretty. * There have been at least 13 Murakumo units produced in ''[[~~Blaz Blue~~BlazBlue]]''. Only the 13th, 11th, and 12th ever appear on-screen. == Film == * ''[[Plan 9 from Outer Space]]''. What were the first eight plans? * In ''[[Lilo and Stitch]]'', Stitch is Experiment 626. Most of the previous 625 experiments are never seen, although some of them do make an appearance in [[Lilo ~~and~~& Stitch: The Series\|The Series]]. * The Time Machine in ''[[Meet the Robinsons]]'', which has had several failed prototypes, one of which looks like a Dali painting, and the Mark I which has only a single screw left. * [[Austin Powers\|Doctor Evil]] calls his [[Tractor Beam]] "Preparation H", as preparations A-G were complete failures. Of course, this is all to set up yet another joke for Scott to laugh at.
