Trivia

 * The series' deepest origins go to September 17th, 2010 in which a 7 year old NoxiMation had drawn up his first idea of what the Changers was. As the series would be rebooted many times over, this era was given the name "Pre-Changers". Through the course of over a decade, many things have changed; including but not limited to:
 * The Changers originally using "Monster Bracelets" to fight crime, devices similar to the Xonerate Gauntlets in appearance, but would transform the user into a set of Universal - type creatures. The idea was axed in the series' next incarnation due to its similarities to the American action cartoon Ben 10.
 * The Changers originally being much younger, starting out as second graders and being in seventh grade as the series came to a close.
 * Zaire originally not being present. Instead, a kid named Aaron had place of his spot on the team. Zaire eventually joined as the series went over a "refreshening" of its universe, but not as drastic as a hard reboot.
 * A character named Tyler Mitchell, based on a classmate of Noxi's from elementary school, joined the cast as a fourth member soon after Zaire.
 * Ivy was originally non-existent, but she was created soon after the refreshening. Originally being named "Invadress" and starting out as one of the team's worst enemies, she quickly grew into an anti-hero and eventually ally of the team.
 * Kroy was originally just Jersey City, New Jersey. Although CXD also takes place in Jersey City, it's appearance and characteristics have been heavily modified for the story.
