Originally a Patreon request by Isabella. This review, like this show, has been years in the making...so now it's finally time to take a look at ReBoot: The Guardian Code and see just why it was so disappointing.
So this show was destined to fail. Too bad since Mainframe has done some of my favorite shows. I saw the original airing on ABC's Saturday morning and the episodes that didn't air there on Toonami. They also did the Beast Era Transformers shows (Beast Wars and Beast Machines), War Planets/Shadow Raiders, and the Acceleracers movies so I know they know what they're doing with the right people behind it.
This kind of ideas has been used better in other series, like the aforementioned Code Lyoko. Hell, Power Rangers has produces seasons with similar ideas of fighting a computer virus with RPM and Beast Morphers.
With the ideas present, this could have actually been a decent series in it's own right.

ReplyDeleteOh Joy, another sup-par series sequel.

So, who's worse? Michael Hefferon, Jonathan Tzachor or Shinichiro Shirakura?
