== Anime and Manga ==
* The first time one of [[Mad Scientist|Dr. Gero's]] creations appears in ''[[DragonballDragon 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 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 15:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* 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 ''[[Bio ShockBioshock]]'' 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]]''. Only the 13th, 11th, and 12th ever appear on-screen.
 
== Film ==
* ''[[Plan Nine9 Fromfrom 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.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Star Trek: theThe Original Series]]'' episode "The Ultimate Computer". Doctor Daystrom comes aboard to oversee tests of his M5 computer.
{{quote| '''Kirk:''' I'm curious, Doctor. Why is it called M-5 and not M-1?<br />
'''Daystrom:''' Well, you see, the multitronic units one through four were not entirely successful. This one is.<br />
Line 31:
'''McCoy:''' The M-1 through M-4, remember? Not entirely successful. That's the way Daystrom put it. }}
* In ''The Dr. Steel Show'' Episode 2, [[Doctor Steel]] calls his hamster, "Hamster 65". In Episode 1, he had a previous hamster "experiment" (referred to elsewhere as Hamster 42), which had died. One wonders what happened to all the other ones?
* ''[[Babylon Five5]]''. We do eventually find out what happened to Babylons One through Four.
* ''The [[Benny Hill]] Show''. Benny (as Fred Scuttle) is displaying his homemade, backyard rocket in which he plans to fly to the moon.
{{quote| '''Scuttle:''' May I present...''Indestructable the Second''!<br />
Line 47:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* On ''[[My Life Asas a Teenage Robot]]'', we actually do find out what happened with XJs 1-8.
 
== [[Real Life]] ==
