Rayman Pirate-Community

(I'm not sure wherever if Rabbids related topics should be either under the Off-Topic or Rayman banner, so if any mod would like to let me know, that would help me a lot!)
-----------------------------------
I've recently stumbled upon images of what I thought was for the other cancelled mature Rabbids game after surfing on DuckDuckGo and not properly checking through Tumblr, up until a certain post I saw on the latter site implying that the concept art from 2012 was part of a pitch for Ubisoft's hypothetical Nickelodeon show that would go on to become Rabbids Invasion.

As someone who watched Rabbids Invasion on Netflix, I was interested, yet creeped out by the transformations that the team was experimenting at the time with ones such as Iron, Rocket, Blender and the one that haunted me for a while, that being Gum with the strings all over him, yeesh...

Anyways, I thought that this information would be useful for the RayWiki article of Rabbids Invasion, since it's a stub at the moment that I'm writing this topic.

I think this is just concept art for Attack of the Killer Rabbids From Outer Space, not Rabbids Invasion.

Are you sure about that?
Because, there are 3 pieces of concept renders mentioning Nickelodeon, France Televisions and the logo for Rabbids Invasion's early name, Rabbids TV Series, hinting that this was obviously a pitch for a television series.

Plus, the concept art is very different from what we see in the Attack of the Killer Rabbids From Outer Space as it's moreso based on transformations, not distant aliens from outer space and that it has been rendered/created in 2012 (with one them being created 6 days before ZombiU even came out), while the alien rabbids concept art had been created in 2010, literally 2 years apart.

You're right, the dates do not add up. Those depictions of monstrous rabbids being killed reminded me that other title, but Guillaume Arvieu might just have reused his own ideas for this prototype of Rabbids Invasion. I suppose we could create an "Early development" section featuring these artworks and highlighting the likely inspiration for them?
