ReBoot

I'm looking for the web comic but I'm having trouble finding it any idea where I need to go to get it?

I'm looking for the web comic but I'm having trouble finding it any idea where I need to go to get it?

How is it that I'm the first person to post this...seriously this should be in the hearts and minds of every ReBoot fan ever. I know the memories of the original ReBoot game still haunt me but, come on that was almost three generations of gaming consoles ago.

Between the PS3, PSP, and the Wii it should NOT take to long to produce a quality game...i mean the graphics and physics engines are half done already and with all the untapped material from three seasons, two movies, matrix and andrAIa' game time, Bob's web-riding, the battle for mainframe, and deamon's infection they could make a game series in no time!

Now Crouching Binome, Hidden Virus presented the audience with a first-person view of using glitch, matrixes gun, and andrAIa's trident frankly I've been obsessed with the idea ever since now with games like bio-shock and the conduit fueling the FPS genre i think it would take very little effort to put that together...how awesome would that be!

Something ...

Wouldn't it be awesome to have a ReBoot convention?

Of course, that'll only really be viable if the revival does happen and we do get those movies. Maybe then Rainmaker could also afford to pay the rights fees and get the DVD boxset we all want out there.

But it would be cool to see the cast and creators at a con. I saw the footage on youtube of the ReBoot panel at the Anime con in Vancouver and devoutly wished I could be there. Did any of you guys see it?

You asked for it!

Rainmaker wants to hear from you.

Do you have a question, or multiple questions, that you want Rainmaker to answer? Not an automated response, but a true response from the Creative Director of all of Rainmaker? Well now is your chance!

Post your questions in this thread. The top five requests will be sent directly to the Creative Director of Rainmaker, and the replies will be posted in this thread.

This is the best opportunity to get any question you want answered. The only thing to remember is that some information needs to be kept secret, so don't expect any detailed answers to questions like:

"What is the story to the new movie?"
"Is this the end to the hunt?"
etc. etc.

There are still millions of questions I'm sure you all have. Post as many as you want!

Stay frosty!

For the coming movies/seasons/etc., the show faces a great dilemma: who to cast?

Tony Jay, one of the greatest voice actors on television (and many other mediums), gave us an amazing villain. John William Baldry, another fantastic actor, gave Captain Capacitor his spirit and made Old Man Pearson one great Codemaster.

Casting actors to take up Mr. Jay's and Mr. Baldry's roles will be a real challenge.

So, who do you think would be best?

Personally, I think that Jeremy Irons would sound the closest to Jay. Irons lent his voice to Scar from the Lion King, along with a long list of other movie credentials. If Irons was not available, I think Jim C. (the filter is trying to restrict his last name), the voice of half of Disney's characters and Scar's singing voice in Lion King would be the next best choice.

For Captain Capacitor, John Rhys Davies would be an excellent choice. For anyone unfamiliar, Davies is probably most popular for  h...

I was thinking the other day about getting a tattoo and thought to myself "What would be BA enough to mark up my body with?" and then it hit me:  Matrix's awesome tattoo.  So my question is, does anyone out there have like a picture or some kind of clear drawing or something of that nature of it?  I've been looking on the internet but to no avail.  Help me please!

There was a playstation game for Reboot and it had several scenes not from the original series.  I never played the game, but I recently came across it on youtube.  It looks like a prequel episode of the show.

It's been awhile since I've seen the show.  I'm wondering if they ever included the game's episode into the regular series.  Has anyone played the game and what was the game about?

For me, the weirdest thing was finding out that Hex was a benign virus.  Whereas Megabyte was a malignant virus.

The most interesting thing was finding out that Hex and MB were siblings.

Hello 'Booters!

This week, the guardians thought we'd poll the most controversial question in the community. Take it as any of these interpretations:

Who is your favorite character?
Who is the best character, and why?
Which character influenced you the most?

With Rainmaker being more involved with the community, we feel this is the best way for fans to clearly speak who they want to see more in the movie.

But more than that, I personally love hearing the debates as to who is the most popular character.

When it comes down to it for myself, I loved Season 3 Bob. I loved Bob all throughout the series, as I got to watch him grow to be more mature.

The season 3 Glitch Bob was modest about how wicked he was with Glitch. At the time where we didn't know about the issues Bob had with the merge with Glitch, Bob appeared to be invulnerable. I almost wish there was a second take to Showdown, where it truly was Bob vs Mega...

For those who've not yet viewed my YouTube channel, there are some EARLY demos from the original Mainframe crew way back when they were trying to pitch the series to the networks.

Some of you may have seen the first promo from when I first uploaded Fast Forward: The Making of ReBoot to the 'net all those years ago... but the rest I think you'll agree are a unique insight into the technology of the time.

Set your time travel circuits for the 90's and activate the flux capacitor!

Reboot has a great story. We accept that.
We also accept that reviving the series will be a great effort.

My simple suggestion is that, alongside our attempts at bringing theatrical movies, graphical updates, etc, we should also take the best stories we can and turn them into novels. There might be moments where we wish there was artwork for a scene, but as I see it, Reboot may be able to live in these novels if they're well written.

If they're interesting books, they could raise lots of Reboot awareness and maybe some capita for our revival projects, not to mention being entertaining in their own accord. Course, one problem is finding someone to write them, but , with the help of the community, I'm sure it could meet the high expectations for the series.

This is still a rather unpolished idea and it may be difficult to implement, or have some kinks to work out, or even already be suggested, but I do think that in the long run, they have the potent...

I think if they want to make a theatrical movie,
they shouldn't solve the cliffhanger in it, because it would be too confusing
for the new audience, and I do think there should be a Theatrical Reboot
movie.  If they are gonna make a Theatrical movie they should redo seasons
1&2 to have the same graphics as season 3&4 and broadcast them all in
order, then release a TV movie to close up the cliffhanger.  By the end,
if they space it out, more and more people will know about reboot.  There could
also be some viral marketing having to do with one of the viruses.  And if
they do make a Theatrical movie, I think it shouldn't just continue on the same
story.  It should have the same main characters, yes, somewhat the same
feel, but not the same mainframe.


From what I can tell, Reboot takes place on a computer in the 90s, and is
probably r...

Basically there's been all this talk of the movies and how they want to follow a different story line and make it more accessible to everyone.

Yet it would just be a disservice to every fan of the original series. I mean for everyone who has hung onto the cliff hanger of season 4, waiting and hoping for a revival.

I'm sorry but as nice as the comic continuation is... it's just not the same. Not to mention it breaks the flow of how the show ended.


I can't be the only one who wants to see the original characters as they last were, with the original voice actors and all the wacky moments and tv/movie references. I hope that these things don't get missed in the screen adaptation.

I just felt the need to discuss the fact that the movies should follow the TV show... not simply take place in the ReBoot world and have ReBoot type characters and stuff.

Sorry for my little absense, I was wandering Vancouver Island with my lovely girlfriend ^-^

This week, GlitchBob and I (Sorry Justice, you and your crazy 7 hours ahead of us) have decided to ask you, the fans, a more debatable question!

What is your favorite (favourate for us Canadians) episode, and why?

I always have a tough time deciding on this one, as I really favor most episodes... even though I will never really enjoy High Code (hides from criticism).

The episode I can never get enough of is Number 7. It was such a silly episode, but that's what made it fun. Plus, Megabyte's facepalm is brilliant.

But overall, the reason Number 7 is my favorite is the soundtrack. That 8 bit music is freaking sweeeeeet.

So I ask you, my fellow booters, what is your favorite episode, and why?

I know that at the heart of ReBoot's story it's about the everlasting rivalry Bob and Megabyte have against each other but I had a day dream not long ago and in my head i went over some crazy visuals featuring a very vibrant "web" via Season 3 and just thinking about how this would all turn out if it were a more highly detailed web battle of epic proportions think "Troy", "Braveheart" and all those movies that feature empires at war but with a large onslaught of sprites and web creatures. It's something i hope would be elaborated more on in the movie(s), origins of the creatures and the riders..i could just imagine how sweet it'd be to see something of what i envisioned unfold, obviously we have the fantastic battle already gone over with the terror that happened inside of Mainframe and with Matrix and The Crimson Binome but just imagine if that was on more of a grand scale. Seeing more of what the guardians and such like Turbo are capable of would be awesome.

Key tools to t...

Just tossing around a few ideas that I have not see posted as of yet. I am new, so if you have seen something like this, sorry.  
1. I think it would be cool to have reboot with real people... I have thought about it a lot lately. We probably have the technology now. It would probably be hard to do the voices  like the original though.  
2. The user could be on a laptop - or perhaps something even more compact.
These are just a few of conversation starters.... Have at it!

I have decided that it doesn't matter if there are different voice artists portraying the characters! Forgive me for saying this, but I have a reason:

There have been 5 changes of Voice Actors throughout ReBoot's Creation. Here they are:

Season 2 (well, from Talent Night)

*Enzo's Voice Artist Changes (I suppose this one doesn't really count since he just ages)

Season 3

*Enzo's Voice changes again.

*Hacks voice changes.

*Bobs voice changes

Season 4

*Yet again, Enzo's voice changes.

Also, it doesn't matter if their voice is different, as long as they stay in character it's cool, right?

I was a little suprised, and like "Why did it end that way? Oh well". A few months later, I heared about them making movies (which we are all waiting for). However, it is a bit more annoying to watch when you take into consideration that it was the last episode of ReBoot....

I'm not sure if a similar thread has been posted before, it is late and I'm to tired to search through all the pages.
I have watch the movie many times and never fully understood this, after i post I may check the wiki.
Bob's code was the key to beating Daemon or at least her infection, I understand why he wasn't able to cure Turbo, part of his code was missing thanks to Megabyte. And Matrix had a complete I wanna say copy of his code or protocol so he was able to administer the cure when he went back to sprite mode. But what I'm having trouble understanding is why Bob's code. If it was a Guardian thing then why were the others infected, Turbo was able to fight it for a while. Any insight?

I've been thinking about it and makes me want to ask the question, what is scuzzy (hex's cat) and where did it come from anyway? i mean it's got to have some secert to it, in season 3 it was able to get through the fire wall and get to hex but the never explained how. does it have some kind of special power that they never explained? and after it reached hex it just dissapeared from the series. was it like an incanation of hex that she made to keep her company but then re-joined here when she was held captive to give her a boost in power so she could escape? come to think of it scuzzy did look pretty virus like. what do you think?

part of Reboot's charm, for me, was the ability to take the mick (or, putting it a different way, having a tribute) of many things like other tv shows, films, characters etc. Just off the top of my head I can think of all these that were in a Reboot episode;

Wacky Races

Power Rangers

Thunderbirds

Indiana jones

Pokemon/Dragonball

The X flies

Wallace and Grommit

Looney Tunes

Toy Story

The Matrix

To name but a few. Is there anything that they didn't take the mick out of and so could be used in future films/epsiodes? (cough, cough- hint, hint)

the above are most of my favourites, but what are yours? What other ones are there that i've missed?

for me my three favorite episodes is really quite easy I have been a fan since the beginning.

Anyway straight to the point.

1. Enzo's Birthday
     the guitar dual always puts a smile on my face

2. Firewall part 1
     the James Bond parody brilliant simply brilliant

3. Megaframe
      I always respect how they showed clips of the war      and the firewall being destroyed, most shows leave large gaps in the past.

So there you have it i could go into more detail but i am running late as it is. So leave your pics or comments and ill get back to ya.

I thought of a BRILLIANT movie Idea a while back.... and I've only just remembered it! The idea is that it's set AFTER the Hunt, and Mainframe has been plauged with War. It's sort of like Terminator Salvation, with The Hunt being like Judgement Day.

I've been the fan of the show for a long time. In fact I just bought AndrAIa and Megabyte 12 inch figures today at a local flea market, they had more, but I didn't have enough, it was then or getting home. But I would like to see a flashback type of episodes, web comic or movie, from season 3, a lost episode deal, with what happened between "Game Over" and "Icons" this may have been suggested already, but I thought I'd atleast put it out there. Hope you are all well

Is Cron viruses  were real, how devastating would they be?

Given that people who don't know much about Reboot (coz they weren't fans originally or weren't around at the time) will have to be convinced to go and see the film (personally I don't think there are enough of us yet to keep the franchise going alone), it has to be a fantastic film. This obviously means good reviews, very good adverts, and word of mouth etc.

Now, just imagine what would happen if the film was awful and it flopped. What would that mean for us? Where would this leave us as fans who have kept the show going for so long?

I'm not saying that it WILL be a flop, I'm just wanting to know people's opinons on what could happen next.

Hmm, the forums ate my other, longer post. Damn.

Anyway, basically I'm wondering if anyone has any information about the Reboot and/or Shadow Raiders soundtracks? I'm currently waiting for Reboot DVDs to arrive, but I started re-watching Shadow Raiders again, and forgot how cool the music was.

I love collecting TV and movie soundtracks, as they often have some of the coolest music.

We need help for the community with the dialogues in English for the Reboot seasons.

Thanks!! and sorry... my translation from Spanish to English isn't very good!

I'm a long time fan of ReBoot and I have rewatched every episode more than once even knowing that in the end their would be no resolution due to season 4's cutbacks.
So very recently after rewatching everything I went sifting the internet for more information on ReBoot to see if there was any kind of resolution and i found this website.
I was excited to learn that there had been a competition on how to relaunch and continue the franchise, i read all the entry ideas and then i read the comic continuation.
Dont get me wrong. It felt like ReBoot and it seemed like the direction the story would have gone in and it was a gripping read but theres still one thing that bugs the hell out of me.
It feels to me like if Daemon Rising and My Two Bobs were features cut into 4 episodes then Arrival could easily be just the comic version of the third film however when it got split into 4 episodes they just never bothered the ever show the first episode, probably the second as well....

So why was Megabyte such an interesting and perfect character for ReBoot? There are so many reasons to list, but I'll try to keep it brief while also trying to avoid the completely obvious. I've omitted so much to try and get in the meat and potatoes, but hopefully this scratches the surface of what could be said about everyone's favorite Green Eyed Monster.

Having a convincing driving force to counter by the hero is what makes or breaks villains in general. Megabyte's desire for ultimate power may have seemed too simplistic and cliche at first glance, but his actions to achieve his goals defined the show's unique angle. Villains commonly try the usual act of blotting out the sun, but how does a virus accomplish that in a world without one? And why try and destroy something that would ultimately destroy you? Fascinatingly enough, there are actually viruses so chaotic that they'd destroy themselves to go out in a blaze of glory with an entire city in tow. But enough about his...

My fiance is a HUGE fan of hers, so in the spirit of the rest of the posts in this section, I was wondering what you all thought of the women behind the beast that is Matrix.

What do you all think of when our favorite male virus enters your mind? LOL

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the new site! I've already seen the anticipation based on the load on the site! I am extremely enthusiastic to communicate further with old and new fans alike.

I thought I'd christen the site with a question that all fans from all areas can answer:

What made ReBoot special to you?

I began watching ReBoot in 1994 when it began to play on YTV. I believe this was back when the PJs were still on YTV.

I believe the most memorable moment was when The Zone played the teaser clip from the first episode of Season 3 ("The rest... didn't make it. Nine? That's all?"). I remembered, since I never noticed the shadowing, how heavy Dot's makeup was all of a sudden.

I have always found I can relate to ReBoot, and throughout the years as I've met many fans and creators and voice actors, I have found a community of great strength and knowledge.

So I leave the question to yo...

As I was cruising the web, I came upon  this url, which offers an interesting look into Enzo's transition to becoming Matrix:
http://aminorglitch.org/look/enzoseye.html

Judging from this author's viewpoint, it seems that Mainframe Entertainment specifically knew where Enzo's character was headed from the start of Season 3, perhaps even during Season 2's run (specifically, the episode, Painted Windows).  Though, if you ask me, that blue figure on the cube cited as evidence very well could be AndrAIa, not Bob.  Though, that's just my opinion.
I just thought this would be an interesting read...

I realise it's hard to get this project off the ground considering the economy and other factors. That being said, I think the best course of action that can be done as of yet is securing Gavin Blair and Ian Pearson as writers again (and of course everyone else involved possible).

It would be a huge sign of goodwill towards us old fans as we loved what they did with the series and seen how the show has been handled in a third parties hands.

Not only would it give us great relief but would give us confidence in Rainmaker. Please, at least give us some news!

Thank you.

Okay.

If ReBoot is going to come back it's going to have to evolve.

I know it and deep down in your heart of hearts, you know it too.

The CGI was groundbreaking at the time and Kudos to all those at Mainframe for producing my favorite TV Show EVER EVER EVER!!!  To move forward it cannot rely on it’s limited fan base to support it, nor can it afford to sink a ton of cash to appease that limited number.

So… think LONG and HARD about this before replying…

WHERE DOES REBOOT GO NEXT?

It has the perfect setting, some most excellent characters and plenty of history to draw...

Welcome to the new reboot.com everyone! 

I just put the site live, and it looks like it's having a little bit of a hard time dealing with all the excitement, but I'm keeping an eye on things and I'll be taking care of any issues that come up tonight.

If you see anything severely busted, be patient (or don't be patient and PM me heh) and we'll get to it as soon as we can..  There are A LOT of you coming here right now..

Who would like to see the Original show re-rendered and reanimated.

Since i have gained 3d skills over the past year i plan on reanimating the show in HD. Still keeping to the original just new textures, new models, real reflections, zbrush details, good animation(not that reboot had bad animation for its time) and much much more.

So if you have any interest in this and would like to help in any way let me know!
or just voice your opinion here!


PS if you are hiring Rainmaker....PM me :)

If I throw Ken and Barbie into the bathtub for a photo op, would that count as fan art?  Blue Jell-o would probably look more like water, but I don't want to try and get that out of Barbie's hair ;) 

What are brownie points anyway?  Chocolatey goodness, the tiny guys from "Willow" or small girl children who sell cookies?  I use the expression brownie points and have no idea what it's in reference to.

Woot!  Woot!  Check out this awesome fan art pic from Atomic Skull out.  Buddy your name should really be Atomic Skillz.



PRETTY FREAKIN AWESOME eh?  I was floored (still am) and I even incorporated Bethany's look into the next 3 pages I uploaded for World Asunder.

Loved the comic. Horah for return of codemaster Lens and everyones virus, Megabyte. I hope future comics and the film trilogy use Megabyte to infect and create "The MegaNet" through his code from Hexadecimal, who infected the Net to stop Deamon. Can not wait to see what will come for ReBoot's Revival.

Alright all you kiddies, you wanted some Nexus Rising Fan Art and look at the gem that PSElliot drew for us.  I have been magnifying and combing over every line and I'm still blown away.  It's amazing.

I'm going to put up some more stuff this weekend.  But take a moment and check out the work that PS did and fan it for him, his pencils are AWESOME (I would rate it but you can't rate your own stuff!)

I've been meaning to get to this for a couple of days now, but work and life and magazine interviews and stuff has intruded and kept me from blogging about THE AMAZING FRIGGING ARTWORK THAT STURSTEIN HAS DONE FOR "INSIDE OUT"!

I am convinced that if you had all seen his beautiful work earlier you would know why I am so stoked to get this book made.

So without further ado, for your enjoyment, first the five personalities residing inside Jenny.

Now individually this is Jan.  She is the youngest:

Next is Jean.  She is studious and smart and great at music.

Third is Jade.  She is the warrior.
 

I finally updated the fan art gallery with the pictures by Will Gibson and Crackwalker! Check 'em out if you missed them the first time!

It is done. I came, I saw, I ate. It was a great trip going to visit the incorrigible JMcleod and her family. The trip coming back went off without a hitch, meaning that I arrived on time. I'll be quite busy for the rest of the night. Got to clean the road filth away and feed myself.

The great Sturstein checked out my pitch The Fox Goddess and sent me a message asking if I wanted some fan art done by him. DUH! He draws awesomely and said yeah, that Heihachi and Hoshiko would love it.
