Zaurus and the Masters of the New Discovery

Zaurus and the Masters of the New Discovery is a Transmanitainian live-action action-adventure television program produced by Cannon Films, developed for television by Robert Haydon-Reaves for Senbai Pictures. It was based on the Masters of the New Discovery created with the idea of the working title The Dimension of Zeerus and Planet Zaurus by Rob Davies and Robert Haydon which was scrapped in 1962 due to the worst developments to TV.

The series was created and developed for television in 1978 by writer-film producer and director Michael Drew Maddon under his production tag, Cannon Television, with executive producers Robert Haydon (who developed and created the series along with Madden).

Production history
The Senbai Television company released the original Zaurus toys in January 1977 in all across other toy stores; an international franchise backstory was developed by CTRS Entertainment Studios. On late 1978, Robert Haydon wrote a "series bible". Some time after, both firms pitched the idea to the Transmanian Radio and Television Corporation network (TRT), who turned it down.

Unlike Star Trek, Star Wars and other TV programmes or animated cartoons in the late-70s and early-1980s, Zaurus is usual to the notable to break the boundaries of censorship. The resulting series broadcast on the Transmanian Broacasting Independent Television Network in 1980 (later TBN in 1981).
