The blond rocker is definitely Danny Cooksey (Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown/Brad Buttowski from Kick Buttowski) White bearded morlok with chains sounds like Jess Harnell but I'm not 100% sure if it's him Most people know this already but the guitar song they often used is Through the Fire and Flames by DragonForce. It's placeholder music, common practice with pilots it seems, since they're usually not meant to air anywhere. This is all I know and it's from identifying with my ears. Dana Snyder has already been said lol

In an alternate universe, this show has been released in 2012 by Disney in its channel "Disney XD" and it rocked.

I feel like this pilot is the epitome of just being pitched at the wrong place and the wrong time. Disney XD probably had what they wanted from other shows, and they probably hated how much budget this pilot used, despite it coming out as a masterpiece. I feel like the best time to pitch this show would have been when Rise TMNT actually got a huge resurgence in 2022-onwards, so basically where we are now. I’m sure Netflix or someone else would actually get this on streaming if they could. Anyway this pilot looks amazing.
