This is bad, very bad.

I don't understand why Michael Hefferon would choose to incorporate ReBoot into The Guardian Code. It's like he knowingly sabotage his own creation. If you want to create a successful show and don't want a severe backlash from the homebase and/or newcomers then you probably shouldn't use "ReBoot" or include certain elements from the original show that seem completely out of place for The Guardian Code.

Episode 10, Mainframe Mayhem, was supposed to woo ReBoot fans. It failed. Yes, it was awesome that; Michael Benyaer, Kathleen Barr, and Shirley Millner returned. It was nice that the episode centered around Mainframe. I loved the design for Hexadecimal, it was beautiful. What ruined episode 10, Mainframe Mayhem, you ask? It was the poor execution of the character designs for; Bob, Dot, and Enzo--the unoriginal dialogue by Bob, the introduction of the /actual/ User from ReBoot, the fan merchandise of ReBoot within The Guardian Code, Hexadecimal face transitions, the game cube which wasn't purple, the lack of certain characters such as; Matrix, Ray Tracer, Phong, Mouse, Mike the TV, AndrAIa, and etc--the green xbox cover, and the incorrect information how stuff works.

Tony Jay, the new voice for Megabyte, he's not bad, and I'm happy he was chosen for such a difficult character. I did not like Megabyte's redesign, but I also understand that it's a chance for Tony to make the character his own.

The CGI and the transition to the kids in their suits isn't bad. I like it. It reminds me of Iron Man.

The script, acting, plot, and villain aren't good. I don't even rate The Guardian Code as a good quality kid/teen show.

It does have some things that stand out about it, but being ReBoot is not one of them. I don't know how good this show would've been if the script was given more thought along with the acting and plot.

This show is one of those throw away shows and easily forgettable.
