The moment that all of you Reboot fans have been waiting for has finally come. Reboot: The Guardian Code has been given the green light by Corus Entertainment for Mainframe Entertainment, the reformed TV division of Rainmaker Entertainment, to produce 26 half-hour episodes of reimagined version of the classic. The series will target mainly kids, tweens and teens. The series will be a hybrid live-action/CG-Animated series.
Here is a synopsis of the series:
ReBoot: the Guardian Code is an adventure-comedy series about four teens (Austin, Parker, Grey and Tamra) who discover that they’re next-gen Guardians with a mission to save the world, by defending it in cyberspace. The Internet revolutionized the world, but it also left it vulnerable to attack. With the help of VERA, the last surviving cyberbeing from the original Guardian Program, our heroes stream into cyberspace where they use their awesome code-based powers to battle viruses that have been unleashed by a ruthless hacker. Known only as the Sourcerer, he seeks to rule the world by controlling cyberspace. Original fans of the show will be happy to hear that Megabyte will be back and he’s getting a major upgrade. ReBoot will showcase leading edge technologies and bring coding into the mainstream for kids.
When Austin, Parker, Grey and Tamra are not trying to stop viruses from overloading a nuclear power station, or remotely opening a dam to flood a city, or playing Criss Cross Crash Hour with a city’s transportation grid, our heroes are being typical teens: arguing with their parents over curfews; dealing with crushes; or trying to avoid getting suspended for skipping class when they’re really on a cyber mission to save the world!
So the good news about this is the series is back. The bad news is that its part live-action which eliminates this series from coming on Toonami on Adult Swim if it even had a chance due to its target audience. What do you guys think? Let us know what you think by commenting below.
