Z-Storm
Z-Storm is a spin-off created by Steel Sponge that premiered on SBC on May 1st, 2010. After November 4th, 2011, with fifteen episodes, the spin-off went on hiatus and had two more episodes released sporadically before its cancellation. In early 2012, Steel announced that he had plans to rewrite every episode of the series that had been published. On June 4th, 2016, Steel announced the spin-off's cancellation, expressing that he had completely lost the motivation to continue the spin-off as it was and had lost interest in it. In the process, Steel's plans for a second season and his plan to revise all the episodes were abandoned as well, with only six of the episodes being slightly reworked. It would not see a revival of some sort until 2017 with the release a new spin-off titled Red Flag Savior: Rebirth of a Storm.
