they were the teen titans and ppg 2016 packs

all i will say is that the teen titans one was really cool

since THEY MADE A SPECIAL EPISODE FOR IT while this discussion is hjiacking entire thread, yes but also no

That was Wave 9, it ended on an odd number as it was SUPPOSED to end with Wave 10 as a sort of grand finale but LEGO pulled the plug on it SO damn suddenly and quickly they didn't have a chance to do jack squat.

I'm pretty sure Wave 10 was originally gonna have Ron, hence his complete and total absence from the game otherwise fans were upset about, Minecraft as a new world although what the character, vehicle/gadget would have been and if it would have been a story or level pack as well is unknown (Although it's pretty obvious it couldn't have been anyone other than Steve, unless they were gonna base it on Story Mode and have it be Jesse instead, hence the rumor of it being a level pack considering Telltale Games wasn't bankrupt yet at that point in time. It does make a lot of sense though considering as considering how the game works you'd have to have quest NPCs in the hub world and unless they were all gonna be Villagers that spoke in text like the Simpsons characters [and maybe Alex] there isn't much option for NPCs unless they just picked generic ones like the actual LEGO sets have.) and some other stuff I forgot.

However due to impending ime constraints they decided to just make it a singular character Wave 10 as a grand finale, Lord Vortech himself. You'd be able to access literally any world with him, and they even got Gary Oldman back to make more reaction lines although they only seem to be for Year 1 characters and vehicles, but you can actually still listen to them in the files. The fact he has reaction lines for vehicles at all shows he was meant to be playable since obviously he can't enter vehicles as a boss.

There's also a lot of scrapped franchises from Year 2 and stuff that was planned to be in Year 3 including not only Minecraft, but also TMNT (though that was canned by Cartoon Network's inclusion),  Steven Universe, a Dreamworks rep, Loony Tunes and Tom & Jerry, Mega Man and even rather oddly Pirates of the Caribbean. Details in this video here, complete with fan-made mockups of what the characters may have looked like.

but yeah LEGO just straight up dropped the anvil of cancellation on it and we couldn't even get the true final wave of ONE character. Nope, just "End it. RIGHT now. We're done with it. Literally right this exact second, you're done, pack up your shit and discard it, we're doing new themes now, this is dead, right now."
