Insurgent wrote:Reboot was one of my favourite shows. Shame it was only shown on a once run through woth no repeats. I can't remember much about it now, but I think it ended on the cliffhanger that grown up kid, girl and dog had been lost in the games for a few years after loosing Bob in the game that had trapped them, when they had just learnt from a pirate that Bob still lived somewhere. Is that true? Or am I misremembering yet another thing? Anyway, Reboot was brilliant. I loved the villian. Megabyte? Anyone know where there are soundclips from this show, I would love to hear bits again.
EDIT: Wohoo! Youtube has some Reboot goodness! Time to reminicse.
Here's what happened:
At the end of Season 2 (Version 2, as they call it), Bob was launched into to Web by Megabyte, leaving Enzo as the Guardian of Mainframe. He failed, leaving the falling Mainframe in the clutches of Megabyte.
At the end of Arc 1 of Season 3, Enzo was in a game with AndrAIa and Frisket. He lost, so they went into game sprite mode, meaning that rather than be deleted when the game left, they would become part of the game and leave with it! When the game dropped onto another system, they would win it, go back to their regular mode, and leave the game, hoping to find themselves on a system with ports to the Net in order to get back to Mainframe. This process is known as 'Game Hopping.'
Thing is, they did that until they matured. Enzo went by his last name, Matrix, because he did not want to be associated with the weak little boy, since he had grown into a big, strong man. AndrAIa became hot. 'Nuff said. Plus, she was the only one who could keep Matrix, a loose cannon, under control. Frisket was still their loyal friend, and he was as strong as he had always been!
Matrix had given up hope until finding a way home and finding Bob, a promise he had made to Dot, when, in Version 3.2.3 (Season 3, Arc 2, Episode) "Number 7" (the entire episode was a reference to the TV show "The Prisoner"), he realized that he was still the weak little boy he'd always been and there was nowhere left to run. He
had to get back to Mainframe and find Bob!
In Version 3.2.4, "The Episode with No Name" (the entire episode was a reference to westerns, such as The Man with No Name"), the Mainframers found themselves in a system with ports to the Net, only to find that Net travel was restricted... by the Guardians! Matrix later met with Turbo, the Prime Guardian (voiced by Gary Chalk, so Prime might be a reference!) and discovered that time in the Games is accelerated, which is why they've matured faster, meaning that there is still hope for Mainframe! Turbo also told him of Daemon, a supervirus who had already infected the entire Guardian collective, except for Bob, which is why they had restricted travel in order to find him (Matrix had some of Bob's code, given to him when he was given Guardian Cadet status in Season 2, which is how the infected Guardians tracked him down). Turbo managed to fight the infection, but he wouldn't be able to fight it for much longer.
Over the next few episodes, the Mainframers managed to free the Software Pirates, led by Capitan Capacitor (introduced in Season 1's "The Crimson Binome") as well as Ray Tracer, a web surfer voiced by Donal Gibson, brother of Mel. Using the Pirates' ship, the Saucy Mare, they managed to flee to the Net, and later went into the Web to find Bob.
They eventually found him, he had joined the Web Riders and took the form of Interface. Thanks to Bob, who had been reunited with his friends as well as Glitch, they were able to get through Mouse's Firewall (see Season 2) and get to Mainframe, where they were finally reunited with their friends and family. Phong was being held captive by Megabyte, who was trying to get the code to access the Supercomputer from him. Bob got captured by Hex, who was eager to see him again, and Matrix faced off with Megabyte in an epic battle atop the nearly destroyed Principle Office. He managed to beat the virus, but Megs was about to hop into his portal to the super computer when Mouse hacked it, sending him into the Web!
That wasn't the end though, as the entire system was crashing. Bob made a gamble. He figured that when the User would reboot the system, System Restore would return Mainframe to how it was in Season 1. I guess that was the restore point. It worked! And since Matrix was in game sprite mode the whole time, the system didn't detect him and 'restored' him, hence Little Enzo was back in Season 4.
I'll explain about Season 4 if you want me to. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!!
You really have been doing your homwork
