I was lucky enough to catch this show as a kid, I'm from America. I can't remember what channel it was on, but I got so excited every time I was able to watch it
i remember watching Pokemon, Digimon and Cardcaptors in 1999-2000. only recently heard of the re-boot for Cardcaptor Sakura which starts off where the original show ends off, with her moving on up to middle school. (started in January of this year. hot damn!)
Jim B. You bet. I heard him in other roles, including the Elder God From Legacy of Kain: Soul Reavers 1, 2 and Defiance. He also voiced none other than Galactus: The Devourer of Worlds in the mid 90s Fantastic Four cartoons. The man could pull off sinister and omnipotent (all-powerful) with little effort.
William Norton The only other roles I remember him in were the main antagonist from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and some role in the "Mighty Ducks" cartoon.
Hexadecimal's ultimate sacrifice. She was the only virus who changed. She sacrificed herself to save Bob and rid the web of Daemon. That was something special. As well as Megabyte taking over the principal office one last time and ending with starting the hunt for Bob and the others. Frustrating cliffhanger that begs to be finished, even after 10 years.
I come from the 90s, I've search through UA-cam, Netfix and TV Series for this show; Reboot. My format - Fan. To view and review. To review this video, it's pros and cons. To review it for, the comment scrollers. ... They say Rainmaker Studios is remaking the show, and that it's a disgrace to the original. No one knows for sure... (jk, the trailer is God awful) But I intend to stay away from - REBOOT's REBOOT!
Yeah, it got bad quick because the show finally decided to get a plot. In the UK, it was banned halfway through season 2 when Bob was sent into the web because it was "too dark" for children. Honestly, if children can't handle shows like this, they sure as fuck aren't going to survive adulthood.
The rhythm at which the show evolved, season by season, was amazing. It went from a light "daily life" cartoon with a few shenanigans to a dark, dead-serious show with high, apocalyptic stakes in season 4... Basically, the show grew up with its audience, starting in 1994 and ending in 2001. The audience began to watch this when they were 10 years old and they were 17 yo when it ended.
Sadly it got discontinued.. :( I've heard multiple reasons (idk which is true). 1. One of the voice actors died (Megabyte's I think). 2. The show was too expensive to continue making. 3. The company was forced to cancel it.,, 3.
I'd kill for even just 4 more episodes of the show (one story arc) to close the story. Heck, get a crowdfunding thing going to help support it. Tony Jay can never be replaced as Megabyte either, however as a replacement the guy who voices him in Guardian Code is actually not too bad. He's like the only thing I can compliment in that garbage series.
THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD! Ive been searching for this show FOREVER, I remembered watching this show when I was younger but never knew the name of it (or remembered) THANK YOU SO MUCH WATCHMOJO YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM
wait he dead? say it not true...checks imdb GOD #$@%! he did the voice for one of my favorite characters Mortanius in the game legacy of kain...my childhood is ruined now :(
Yo I still remember my anxiety lol. I had the same reaction as the others in the room with her. The complete silence... Just turning around and watch her reaction.... The intensity was real loll it was so sad. Her Paine was tengible
Of course, reboot was a TV show from the mid nineties and the first major production to use CGI entirely. They beat pixar to the punch by at least year. So of course, being a tv show with a modest, at best, budget and the pioneer of the technique of using ONLY cgi for it's visuals, the CGI would be stiff and more primitive than a major billion dollar motion picture produced 25 years later. I haven't seen Ready Player One, I'm reading the book first. But I'd wager RPO is nowhere near as funny as Reboot. the satire in later seasons was hilarious. You saw James Bond, Mortal Kombat, and Evil dead in this video, but Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Power Rangers, X-Files, The Matrix, Godzilla, Dragon Ball Z, Star Wars, Star trek, they all got roasted pretty fierce. Forget Season 1, the show itself gave no f***s. They even flipped off Broadcast Standards and Practices (the organization that applies censors to all television productions) and the network ABC when they cancelled the show after Season 2 and they had to jump networks. It's this kind of tone that makes people hate the promotional material for the Netflix Reboot, Guardians Code, since it looks utterly generic and boring compared to the orginal.
I started watching it again a couple of weeks ago. ReBoot was such an awesome, groundbreaking show. I thought the scene in Season 3's "Mousetrap" which Matrix aims his pistol at Bob was sad. I felt his pain. Matrix said that he didn't know why he did it and that he reacted. Matrix was obviously suffering from PTSD. If Funko ever does ReBoot Funko Pops, I love to get adult AndrAla.
Yes! That episode always made me sad. He was acting all strong but he was still hurt and traumatized of how everything turned out. He obviously has self esteem issues. The kid in him still believes he let everyone down...Always loved Matrix
I'm really shocked that *System Crash* isn't on this list. System Crash was a gut punch as a kid. After searching for so long, Enzo and Andraia at last find Bob, make back to Mainframe, Hex gets healed, and Enzo defeats Megabyte. And then it turns out it was all of nothing - Mainframe is already beyond saving and literally disintegrates, resulting in the assured deaths of the civilians as well as the heroes. And then just it seems all hope is lost, the solution Bob came up with is nothing short of brilliant. What a wonderful show ReBoot was and still is.
I think it was in the Evil Dead takeoff that Dot and Bob and Envo figure out the rules and wonder what kind of sick person would play a game like that. They look directly at the camera as they ask it.
"When Bob came face to face to face to face with Hexadecimal his chances of survival went from small to Infinitesimal." It really was the perfect sendoff.

The musical wasn't in the final episode, it was a few episodes before the wedding episode. Also, Enzo, AndrAIa and Frisket were already sprites, they changed to "game sprite mode" to avoid nullification.
Reboot wicked! Lol hey number one it ends on a horrible cliffhanger that will never ever be concluded leaving a generate of fans unfortunately hanging! Love this show a lot, it might be 'ugly' but it sure has it's own style and is still brilliantly written. Hexadecimal has the most character development!
Adam Watson We lost the actor who voiced Megabyte in 2006. IF this show does get a reboot (pun intended), his successor will have some big shoes to fill, just like Mako's successor who voiced Aku in the reboot of Samurai Jack. Included in the list of characters Tony Jay (he originally voiced Megabyte) voiced were the Elder God From Legacy of Kain: Soul Reavers 1, 2, and Defiance and most notably Galactus: Devourer of Worlds from mid 90s Fantastic Four cartoons. The man could easily pull off sinister and omnipotent (all-powerful).
A lot of technology and cg rendering techniques were invented because of Beast Wars and Reboot. Simple things that don't seem complex, like fog for instance, did not exist in this medium before a certain episode of Beast Wars in which several Maximals were blinded by an energon explosion. These two shows don't get enough credit for what they brought to computer animation as a whole.

Yeah I remember when I was a kid and I saw her shoot her nails out and then go right into that lady’s throat. That was the exact moment I remember thinking “oh my God… That was awesome! Violence is so cool!!!! “
Seriously wtf i legit just remember reboot last night and watched afew clips now i hear theres a reboot of reboot and then watchmojo uploads a video >_>
Not that strange, they recently revealed the show's successor so people have been talking about the old show more and more. It's likely that someone posted something small about the show and it reminded you of it subconsciously. Stay away from the new show, it's an utter disgrace and even the trailer will anger you.
Pretty much any Hexidecimal moment and especially her sprite ones with the adorable new look she had were my favorites... Runners up have to be anytime there's a game... lol and also just about anytime Dot participates, but I can't say that I enjoyed all the character redesigns in the fourth and final season miniseries. Their faces changed into these uncomfortably detailed, even uncanny valley looks... and especially Bob... whose voice changed at least once too... and Bob's hair changed twice, getting his hair even shorter than the first three seasons in the final season, though he was technically Megabyte then. Maybe Megabyte didn't like having shaggy hair. lol Let's not forget the weird looks Hex and Megabreath got in The Guardian Code, the "ReBoot reboot" that didn't have any of the classic characters until the end, though I suppose the main villain may be the same user from the original series. Hex had her classic look then, but also the same uncomfortable facial details season 4 had.
#4 was always one of my favorite moments. Of ALL television. The big bad, that basically wanted to destroy the ENTIRE internet, was able to have fun and melt faces like that. Always brings a smile to my face.
I thought at first the moment in the ep 'Game Over' wasn't going to be in the list.. That proved me wrong.. Shame the other part ain't on the list.. Like when Hex said the line.. 'DAMN YOU FOOL!' or the backstory on the 4th and final season.. Oh well a man can dream though.
I loved this show as a kid, especially the more darker 3rd season with Matrix and AndrAIa as the lead characters. I'm still a little sad Reboot never got a 4th season, it had so much more potential.
I liked this cartoon so much I bought the full series. The D&D episode is still my favorite, and all the nerd jokes like - why is everyone afraid of 7 , because 7, 8 , 9 . ;)
Loved this show! It was very relatable because of computer references throughout as well as entertainingly palatable material...reliving my 2nd childhood with shows like this and pee wee herman on Saturday morning. 🙄
I'm in my 60s, but all the nodes of my network still sport Reboot character names. There was always so much clever stuff going on in their backgrounds. Like the action in the background of one toy room game that showed a toy white Ford Bronco being slowly chased by several police cars.
10: Eh, I had other moments I liked better. 9: That entire game from said episode was a good moment. I especially love the joke where Dot questions what kind of sick creature enjoys playing such a game, and Enzo points at the audience. It's true. 8: This episode was interesting in its place in the arc at the end of Season 2. The episode before that was mostly a hilarious Power Rangers parody. It kept us from expecting the much more serious episodes that would follow, starting with this one where we got a villain who while generic, was completely serious. It's also pretty cool how Season 4 tied into this episode, explaining that Gigabyte was the original virus and being split when he came to Mainframe explained where Bob got the idea to split him in the first place. Gigabyte is also a case of where a villain with no personality is used effectively by only keeping around for one episode to help move the plot along, and to establish things in the flashback. 7: This should have been higher. I cannot stress how bold a move this was, letting Megabyte win and writing Bob out of the episode for the better part of the following season. Even when he returned, Matrix had still taken over as the main character. Forget kids shows, try naming shows aimed at adults that will take a risk like that, and actually have it pay off. Also I might flamed by the Transformer fans, but this is what the death of Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime taking his place should have been. Hot Rod was introduced right in the movie, intervened with Optimus' fight and got used as a human shield right as Optimus was about to kill Megatron, and at the climax of the movie he's just the new leader because he's the chosen one even though he didn't actually do anything to prove himself as leader, and in fact just showed that Ultra Magnus was a better choice to be leader than him. In Reboot, this was the point where Megabyte finally beat Bob, double crossing him at just the right moment so that he could finally be rid off him. And Enzo, unlike Hot Rod, had been a major character in the show from the beginning and while he caused some trouble, as the show went on we saw him become an increasingly capable hero. Plus in the following season he had to earn everyone's respect instead of just getting accepted readily like Rodimus did. Also Megabyte crushing Glitch was a big deal since it would get too broken to do much an episode later. Enzo would not be able to use it as a convenient plot device the way Bob often could. 6: So to add to this; during the first two seasons, Bob never actually defeated Megabyte in a one on one confrontation. He either had to run away or pull out some kind of trick, though to be fair they did come close to having a fight at the start of Season 2, but Glitch conveniently ran out of power and Bob, as usual, had to avoid facing Megabyte directly. Matrix in this fight did what his idle never managed, even with Glitch. Plus right at the start we saw Megabyte goad Matrix into throwing his gun away and fight him hand to hand. The look on Megabyte's face basically said at first "do your worst boy" before going to away "what a fool" until Matrix actually hit him. By and large we never saw anything do any damage to Megabyte like that, in fact we in the flashback to when he was Kilobyte when even saw Glitch used on him and it failed to stop him. Megabyte himself still showed that he would not going to down easily. When he starts kicking Matrix towards the edge of the Principle Office, you feel how pissed off he is with those audible steps. And who else was telling Matrix to get up before Megabyte kicked him again. 5: Gotta give the show credit with how it had Bob written out by getting sent into the web instead of Megabyte just killing him, since that gave an opening to eventually bring him back. And at a point none of us were expecting given by that had been no sign of him so we really were not expecting him to be one of the Web Riders. 4: Adding to how hilarious this scene is, when Megabyte mentioned what his plan was it had something to do with the sheer number of people. His minions response boiled down to "anything but that" implying they were morally repulsed at some evil plan by Megabyte to kill everyone there. And it turns it out it was all just him wanting to show off with his electric guitar. The first season was weird. 3: I never got this reference as a kid as I hadn't watched any Bond films until years later. 2: This episode really had the show pushing the envelope. We had a Mortal Kombat homage with the User beating his opponents with MK like finishing move, which while we did not see on screen was pretty clearly made out to him crushing their skull. Frankly I'm surprised Mortal Kombat hasn't used anything like that. On top of this, the episode had started off with the hint that everything was fine. Megabyte was trapped behind the firewall, he tried launching an attack through a hole created by Hexadecimal but it was just a hole in one spot so his forces were easily shot down. Everyone gather to see Enzo who finally won them over enter the game. But when finally faced the User, after winning a round, he started losing and despite his best efforts, he just could not beat the User. And then we cut outside the gamecube, with the familiar "Game Over" but it was followed by something we rarely ever heard "User Wins." Following Dot's cry after everyone is silent, we hear Megabyte laughing in delight. 1: I for some reason never saw this. So for honorable mentions, I have few I feel should be one there instead, or just plain on the list The alternate reality Dot was viewing at the end of Season 1's two part finale. Season 1 was mostly lighthearted, so it's finale was shocking with how dark it was. Dot had gotten a number of binomes to trust her with their PIDs, but thanks to Cryus' betrayal they are stolen and wind in Megabyte's possession. Dot spends the episode beating herself up until she and Bob end up in a game, where Bob loses leaving Dot to win, and she suddenly finds herself hearing the game is over and she is Mainframe ruled by Megabyte. Of course it turns out not be real, but the look at Megabyte's rule over Mainframe is stunning with how dark it is compared to what the show had looked like before hand with the city a ruined dystopia and Megabyte is practically worshiped. It went to show us why even he had not achieved any major victories, why he could not be allowed to win. And it was the kick in the pants Dot needed to win the game. This gave us a surprising moment where Bob wasn't the hero for a change. Megabyte breaking into the Principle Office at the start of Season 2. So at the start of Season 2 we had an episode where Megabyte sneaked into the Principle Office disguised as a package that was an upgrade from the User. Glitch is conveniently out of power so Bot and Dot can't do anything to stop Megabyte from accessing the Principle Office's control and he starts using them to try and reformat Mainframe into his image. For the rest of the episode it is a race against time with the constant dread seeing the city and everyone in slowly being fading out of existence. Hexadecimal fighting Daemon. So when we saw Daemon she proved unstoppable. No weapon used by any of the main characters could harm her and she used her power to infect each of them and reduce them to her devoted worshipers. Against this unstoppable villain it is Hexadecimal of all people who comes out as the unlikely hero, returning to her original Virus form and having drawn power from Mainframe's core, actually fights against Daemon and for the first time we actually see somebody hinder the Super Virus. Matrix and Andrai in the unnamed system. So after Enzo and Andrai vanished into the Mortal Kombat clone, we two Sprites in a game which turn out to be them. We see that they have visibly aged into very different characters than what we knew from before, Matrix especially when he finds that mantis virus and kills it while it's begging for mercy.
It was great to watch the show when it aired and be able to connect with some of the staff on the Reboot newsgroup. Although it looks a little dated, it's amazing how well it holds up. This was at the very start of CG cartoons. They taught Pixar how to do CG. And they had so many in-jokes and meta references. For instance, the Welman on the tape player (2:12) was the name of a staff member. Most of the best bits are from season 3. That was after ABC dropped the show and they could make it without the parental restrictions. It's a shame they ran out of money before they could finished season 4. But season 4 never seemed as good as season 3.
William Norton That would be hard for the replacement voice actor. The baritone voice of Tony is quite distinct and unique which is why he was immediately identified as Megatron in the Beast Wars Transformers by the fans.
I canceled my Netflix account over this. A bit much I know but this show is why I love cgi. And they turned it into a live action pile of garbage and shit all over the old fans. I expected more from Netflix but I was let down as a customer. I mean come on the show showed a reboot fan as a 40+ stereotype. I'm a fan that watched this as a kid. I'm not even 30.WTF?
Top 10 Best Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM Moments)!!!!!!!!!! Top 10 Easter Episodes on TV!!!!!! Top 10 Bunny Characters in Movies, TV, Video Games, and Anime!!!!!!! PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!!!!
Top 10 Best Donkey Kong Country (TV Show) Moments is all i need. its that show everyone loves to hate, because the cgi isn't as good as reboot, and reboot is older than it. lol
Why did you put CLASSIC in the title? we all know the piece of shit remake won’t have any good moments in at all so there’s really no need to differentiate the two : /
Man i miss this series. Its a shame that the guardian code was complete and total garbage from start to finish. Its like netflix bought the IP just to ruin it.
The golden years of YTV. As a Canadian kid growing up in the 90's, I will forever be grateful for all the brilliant tv shows we were blessed with.
I praise you Canadians for bringing me the care bears 🥰 one of the best shows from Nelvana in the 80s
Heck yeah Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 my time growing up 1993-2000!! Loved YTV!!
I was lucky enough to catch this show as a kid, I'm from America. I can't remember what channel it was on, but I got so excited every time I was able to watch it
Best shows of my childhood where on ytv
90s to maybe 04 or 05 where the best years. Pj Phil all the way!
The line up was Reboot, DBZ, Sailor Moon, Gundum, new adventures of Johnny Quest and more. Toonami was running shit in the late 90’s.
i remember watching Pokemon, Digimon and Cardcaptors in 1999-2000. only recently heard of the re-boot for Cardcaptor Sakura which starts off where the original show ends off, with her moving on up to middle school. (started in January of this year. hot damn!)
Actually it was Thundercats, Sailor Moon, Reboot, Dragonball Z, Gundam Wing/Ronin Warriors, Tenchi Muyo
Oh dude those shows were so awesome!
Shit man I miss Johnny quest
oh man.. best line up ever for me. Good times..
RIP Tony Jay (Megabyte) - His voice was like audio butter.
Jim B.
You bet.
I heard him in other roles, including the Elder God From Legacy of Kain: Soul Reavers 1, 2 and Defiance.
He also voiced none other than Galactus: The Devourer of Worlds in the mid 90s Fantastic Four cartoons.
The man could pull off sinister and omnipotent (all-powerful) with little effort.
William Norton The only other roles I remember him in were the main antagonist from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and some role in the "Mighty Ducks" cartoon.
Jim B. I know right! He had the best voice.
He was also Anubis in Gargoyles. Yes it was just one episode, but when it's Tony Jay it's an episode you remember.
WhiteFangofWhoa

Hexadecimal's ultimate sacrifice.
She was the only virus who changed. She sacrificed herself to save Bob and rid the web of Daemon. That was something special.
As well as Megabyte taking over the principal office one last time and ending with starting the hunt for Bob and the others. Frustrating cliffhanger that begs to be finished, even after 10 years.
All hail the Queen of Chaos.
Megabyte’s cliffhanger haunts me to this day…
Matrix executing that Satan guy at point blank was just brutal, very underrated.
I come from the 90s,
I've search through UA-cam, Netfix and TV Series for this show; Reboot.
My format - Fan. To view and review. To review this video, it's pros and cons. To review it for, the comment scrollers.

They say Rainmaker Studios is remaking the show, and that it's a disgrace to the original.
No one knows for sure... (jk, the trailer is God awful)
But I intend to stay away from -
REBOOT's REBOOT!
😂👍
Can't believe you only got 1 comment 😂😂😂😂👌🏾
Love it!!! ❤️
I watched this show for a long time till it was cut off cartoon network!!
# 1990's kids
Yes Ma'am!
They eventually showed the final episode but the time gaps between airing was annoying
Yeah, it got bad quick because the show finally decided to get a plot. In the UK, it was banned halfway through season 2 when Bob was sent into the web because it was "too dark" for children. Honestly, if children can't handle shows like this, they sure as fuck aren't going to survive adulthood.
I love this. Along with goosebumps Nd are you afraid of the dark
Smell that?
CHILDHOOD.
The rhythm at which the show evolved, season by season, was amazing. It went from a light "daily life" cartoon with a few shenanigans to a dark, dead-serious show with high, apocalyptic stakes in season 4... Basically, the show grew up with its audience, starting in 1994 and ending in 2001. The audience began to watch this when they were 10 years old and they were 17 yo when it ended.
*OMG! THIS SHOW WAS MY SHIT WHEN I WAS A KID! LIKE, FR, THOUGH!*
Jim B. Nobody asked or cares stfu
Nelson Morriss *OUCH!* I just read your comment and I cut myself on your sheer edginess! I need a band-aid! Quick!
I cried at the anguish in Dot's voice when Enzo lost the game. Absolutely devastating. Get's me every time.
I happened to have watched the ENTIRE series a few years back. And I must admit that it was one of the best things that I've done in my life.
Where can you watch it?
Reboot! Thought everyone forgot about this
I will never forget this show
So did Rainmaker and Netflix.
Because the word reboot is curse by gostbasterd and star trek.
Lmao! Was gonna comment your comment damn!
My info good to know we all feel the same Lol
The cliff hanger were all still waiting for to be resolved
Sadly it got discontinued.. :(
I've heard multiple reasons (idk which is true).
1. One of the voice actors died (Megabyte's I think).
2. The show was too expensive to continue making.
3. The company was forced to cancel it.,,
3.
It's not fair.
too late to continue with tony jay being gone, megabytes voice cannot be replaced.
I'd kill for even just 4 more episodes of the show (one story arc) to close the story.
Heck, get a crowdfunding thing going to help support it.
Tony Jay can never be replaced as Megabyte either, however as a replacement the guy who voices him in Guardian Code is actually not too bad. He's like the only thing I can compliment in that garbage series.
THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD! Ive been searching for this show FOREVER, I remembered watching this show when I was younger but never knew the name of it (or remembered) THANK YOU SO MUCH WATCHMOJO YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM
Finally, somebody did a list on this show! WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!
RIP Tony Jay (2 February 1933 - 13 August 2006).
wait he dead? say it not true...checks imdb GOD #$@%! he did the voice for one of my favorite characters Mortanius in the game legacy of kain...my childhood is ruined now :(
Boomstick4life
I learned of his passing shortly after I got my first smartphone and found WatchMojo.
Boomstick4life
Do not forget his performance as the Elder God in both Soul Reavers and Defiance.
Kevin Lashley
Would you believe that I stumbled upon an old time radio show where he voiced the main character, a blind detective?
That Dot scream when she thinks enzo is nulified still pulls at my heart strings everytime i watch that episode
Yo I still remember my anxiety lol. I had the same reaction as the others in the room with her. The complete silence... Just turning around and watch her reaction.... The intensity was real loll it was so sad. Her Paine was tengible
One of the earliest CGI animation...👍😎
Actually it was the FIRST cgi animated show.
Chad Hutchings it explain the cringe wen you just watch ready player one
kingchup specialist arrogant What does reboot have to do with Ready Player One? One is a tv show, the other is a novel and a movie.
Chad Hutchings better cgi in ready player one.
Of course, reboot was a TV show from the mid nineties and the first major production to use CGI entirely. They beat pixar to the punch by at least year. So of course, being a tv show with a modest, at best, budget and the pioneer of the technique of using ONLY cgi for it's visuals, the CGI would be stiff and more primitive than a major billion dollar motion picture produced 25 years later.

System Crash was a gut punch as a kid.
After searching for so long, Enzo and Andraia at last find Bob, make back to Mainframe, Hex gets healed, and Enzo defeats Megabyte.
And then it turns out it was all of nothing - Mainframe is already beyond saving and literally disintegrates, resulting in the assured deaths of the civilians as well as the heroes.
And then just it seems all hope is lost, the solution Bob came up with is nothing short of brilliant.
What a wonderful show ReBoot was and still is.
I think it was in the Evil Dead takeoff that Dot and Bob and Envo figure out the rules and wonder what kind of sick person would play a game like that. They look directly at the camera as they ask it.
Gotta love the fourth wall break. :P
:) Now i remember why the minions looked familiar
Same haha
Who else knew not to be fooled by the angelic appearance of the 'super-virus' Daemon from Season 4?
Everyone.
Everyone. It was kinda obvious tbh,,
Considering we were told of the Super-Virus Daemon back in season 3, long before she appeared?
Everyone who watched season 3 and had already been told that Daemon was evil.
Evil chick looking like a nightelf, what else is new? :>
"When Bob came face to face to face to face with Hexadecimal his chances of survival went from small to Infinitesimal."
It really was the perfect sendoff.
Canada's greatest contribution to Animation!
The company who made ReBoot later made both Beast Wars and Beast Machines.
reboot was so ahead of its time! I loved that show and definitely the firewall intro is my favorite moment
*Isn't it ironic that this is one show that needs a....reboot?*
No. No it does not. Don't encourage them, they're already fucking it up.

The musical wasn't in the final episode, it was a few episodes before the wedding episode. Also, Enzo, AndrAIa and Frisket were already sprites, they changed to "game sprite mode" to avoid nullification.
Well End Program was the final episode, until 3 years later when Mainframe decided to give the show a 4th season
Hexadecimal was the main reason I watched this show.
Was scary to watch as a kid and it's still scary now 😂🙈
This show is criminally underrated! Well written for a "kids" show, and it wasn't afraid to get dark and even depressing at times.
People still remember this show? Good.
Reboot wicked! Lol hey number one it ends on a horrible cliffhanger that will never ever be concluded leaving a generate of fans unfortunately hanging! Love this show a lot, it might be 'ugly' but it sure has it's own style and is still brilliantly written. Hexadecimal has the most character development!
Adam Watson
We lost the actor who voiced Megabyte in 2006.
IF this show does get a reboot (pun intended), his successor will have some big shoes to fill, just like Mako's successor who voiced Aku in the reboot of Samurai Jack.
Included in the list of characters Tony Jay (he originally voiced Megabyte) voiced were the Elder God From Legacy of Kain: Soul Reavers 1, 2, and Defiance and most notably Galactus: Devourer of Worlds from mid 90s Fantastic Four cartoons.
The man could easily pull off sinister and omnipotent (all-powerful).
Old 3D shows like this and Beast Wars reminds me that Graphics matters little if your story is good.
The quality of the CG was part of it's charm. The rough CG fit the setting of what is going on behind the scenes in a PC.
A lot of technology and cg rendering techniques were invented because of Beast Wars and Reboot. Simple things that don't seem complex, like fog for instance, did not exist in this medium before a certain episode of Beast Wars in which several Maximals were blinded by an energon explosion. These two shows don't get enough credit for what they brought to computer animation as a whole.
Ex - Cham
That was always _the_ most important thing in movies, TV, radio etc:
*A GOOD STORY.*
Dot's scream in Game Over makes me cry everytime. It was so heartbreaking.
God, I used to watch this show when I was 5 years old... Never imagined that I would eventually know its name after so many years.
Wat about hex's sacrifice

Or the fight with Daemon before it?
I can already imagine watchmojo's next video. Top 10/5 reasons why Reboot the Guardian code sucks!
#1 Live action characters.
I come from the 90s,
I've search through UA-cam, Netfix and TV Series for this show; Reboot.
My format - Fan. To view and review. To review this video, it's pros and cons. To review it for, the comment scrollers.
...
They say Rainmaker Studios is remaking the show, and that it's a disgrace to the original.
No one knows for sure... (jk, the trailer is God awful)
But I intend to stay away from -
REBOOT's REBOOT!
"Hey Al, they forgot to list our running gaaaag".... WHAT?!!
Seeing Hex in leather S&M gear and tied up definitely made an impression on me as a boy. "I think she likes being tied up."
"Let us not even think about that."
Who can forget the greatest character of all MIKE THE TV!
I can't. My favorite episode with Mike was 'A Dungeon Deep'. Anyone else remember that one?
best episode.

dbnx1701 it’s absolutely nothingg
And it's Free For Only 99.99.99 !!!
Ah, the REAL ReBoot. This brings back so much good memories. What good times back then! IRC channel and everything!
Yeah I remember when I was a kid and I saw her shoot her nails out and then go right into that lady’s throat. That was the exact moment I remember thinking “oh my God… That was awesome! Violence is so cool!!!! “
You can't really say there are spoilers in this video, considering this show hasn't aired in 17 years
Well there are kids that haven’t seen it and hopefully we can show them this and not the hot trash that Netflix released under this name
The animation looks like Beast wars
TCS Gaming It's the same company that did Beast Wars :)
Same company, Mainframe Entertainment. They later worked on the sequel series to Beast Wars; Beast Machines.
Gameflyer001 shhhh. We don't talk about Beast Machines.
Lol... parts of it were pretty good.
And Shadow Raiders!
Seriously wtf i legit just remember reboot last night and watched afew clips now i hear theres a reboot of reboot and then watchmojo uploads a video >_>
DJXistance me 2
Same, was watching Reboot episodes on a Twitch channel yesterday, after years of not even thinking about it.
same, i started watching it agen about a week ago and then this popped up
Just save yourself the pain of watching the new series that rips off the name.
Not that strange, they recently revealed the show's successor so people have been talking about the old show more and more.
It's likely that someone posted something small about the show and it reminded you of it subconsciously.
Stay away from the new show, it's an utter disgrace and even the trailer will anger you.
Pretty much any Hexidecimal moment and especially her sprite ones with the adorable new look she had were my favorites...
Runners up have to be anytime there's a game... lol and also just about anytime Dot participates, but I can't say that I enjoyed all the character redesigns in the fourth and final season miniseries. Their faces changed into these uncomfortably detailed, even uncanny valley looks... and especially Bob... whose voice changed at least once too... and Bob's hair changed twice, getting his hair even shorter than the first three seasons in the final season, though he was technically Megabyte then. Maybe Megabyte didn't like having shaggy hair. lol Let's not forget the weird looks Hex and Megabreath got in The Guardian Code, the "ReBoot reboot" that didn't have any of the classic characters until the end, though I suppose the main villain may be the same user from the original series. Hex had her classic look then, but also the same uncomfortable facial details season 4 had.

5:55 that's surfer, not turbo. Did you even watch the whole series?
Also #10 and #7 should be MUCH higher up!!
#4 was always one of my favorite moments. Of ALL television.
The big bad, that basically wanted to destroy the ENTIRE internet, was able to have fun and melt faces like that.
Always brings a smile to my face.
Love this! 1000% love this! I remember watching this as a kid and you guys brought back soooooooo many memories. Thank you so much!
This was my most addictive cartoon of my teenage years. Absolutely loved it.
I thought at first the moment in the ep 'Game Over' wasn't going to be in the list.. That proved me wrong.. Shame the other part ain't on the list.. Like when Hex said the line.. 'DAMN YOU FOOL!' or the backstory on the 4th and final season.. Oh well a man can dream though.
Hi JamesTheBrony/JTB
Hi there.
I loved this show as a kid, especially the more darker 3rd season with Matrix and AndrAIa as the lead characters. I'm still a little sad Reboot never got a 4th season, it had so much more potential.
We watched from outside the net. Seeing systems, peoples, and cities, to this place: Mainframe. Our format: audience, to watch and enjoy...Reboot!
SulliMike241 well said!
I liked this cartoon so much I bought the full series. The D&D episode is still my favorite, and all the nerd jokes like - why is everyone afraid of 7 , because 7, 8 , 9 . ;)
in the film "9", 7 was one of the characters that gets killed off. woops spoilers.
It's also ironic that Matrix was searching for Number One, but Number One was in a different episode as a Will Riker ST:TNG parody of a binome.
Loved this show! It was very relatable because of computer references throughout as well as entertainingly palatable material...reliving my 2nd childhood with shows like this and pee wee herman on Saturday morning. 🙄
Wow this show brings back memories
I'm in my 60s, but all the nodes of my network still sport Reboot character names. There was always so much clever stuff going on in their backgrounds. Like the action in the background of one toy room game that showed a toy white Ford Bronco being slowly chased by several police cars.
One of my favorite shows of the 90s but we need a top 10 beast wars list
The best 10 minutes I've had in a while thanks for the memories
*I come from the net... *
“$99, $99..............$99”
It's Bucket-o-Nothiiiing!!!
Aesome show..no woke garbage
yah old is gold
10: Eh, I had other moments I liked better.
9: That entire game from said episode was a good moment. I especially love the joke where Dot questions what kind of sick creature enjoys playing such a game, and Enzo points at the audience. It's true.
8: This episode was interesting in its place in the arc at the end of Season 2. The episode before that was mostly a hilarious Power Rangers parody. It kept us from expecting the much more serious episodes that would follow, starting with this one where we got a villain who while generic, was completely serious.
It's also pretty cool how Season 4 tied into this episode, explaining that Gigabyte was the original virus and being split when he came to Mainframe explained where Bob got the idea to split him in the first place. Gigabyte is also a case of where a villain with no personality is used effectively by only keeping around for one episode to help move the plot along, and to establish things in the flashback.
7: This should have been higher. I cannot stress how bold a move this was, letting Megabyte win and writing Bob out of the episode for the better part of the following season. Even when he returned, Matrix had still taken over as the main character. Forget kids shows, try naming shows aimed at adults that will take a risk like that, and actually have it pay off.
Also I might flamed by the Transformer fans, but this is what the death of Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime taking his place should have been. Hot Rod was introduced right in the movie, intervened with Optimus' fight and got used as a human shield right as Optimus was about to kill Megatron, and at the climax of the movie he's just the new leader because he's the chosen one even though he didn't actually do anything to prove himself as leader, and in fact just showed that Ultra Magnus was a better choice to be leader than him.
In Reboot, this was the point where Megabyte finally beat Bob, double crossing him at just the right moment so that he could finally be rid off him. And Enzo, unlike Hot Rod, had been a major character in the show from the beginning and while he caused some trouble, as the show went on we saw him become an increasingly capable hero. Plus in the following season he had to earn everyone's respect instead of just getting accepted readily like Rodimus did.
Also Megabyte crushing Glitch was a big deal since it would get too broken to do much an episode later. Enzo would not be able to use it as a convenient plot device the way Bob often could.
6: So to add to this; during the first two seasons, Bob never actually defeated Megabyte in a one on one confrontation. He either had to run away or pull out some kind of trick, though to be fair they did come close to having a fight at the start of Season 2, but Glitch conveniently ran out of power and Bob, as usual, had to avoid facing Megabyte directly.
Matrix in this fight did what his idle never managed, even with Glitch. Plus right at the start we saw Megabyte goad Matrix into throwing his gun away and fight him hand to hand. The look on Megabyte's face basically said at first "do your worst boy" before going to away "what a fool" until Matrix actually hit him. By and large we never saw anything do any damage to Megabyte like that, in fact we in the flashback to when he was Kilobyte when even saw Glitch used on him and it failed to stop him.
Megabyte himself still showed that he would not going to down easily. When he starts kicking Matrix towards the edge of the Principle Office, you feel how pissed off he is with those audible steps. And who else was telling Matrix to get up before Megabyte kicked him again.
5: Gotta give the show credit with how it had Bob written out by getting sent into the web instead of Megabyte just killing him, since that gave an opening to eventually bring him back. And at a point none of us were expecting given by that had been no sign of him so we really were not expecting him to be one of the Web Riders.
4: Adding to how hilarious this scene is, when Megabyte mentioned what his plan was it had something to do with the sheer number of people. His minions response boiled down to "anything but that" implying they were morally repulsed at some evil plan by Megabyte to kill everyone there. And it turns it out it was all just him wanting to show off with his electric guitar. The first season was weird.
3: I never got this reference as a kid as I hadn't watched any Bond films until years later.
2: This episode really had the show pushing the envelope. We had a Mortal Kombat homage with the User beating his opponents with MK like finishing move, which while we did not see on screen was pretty clearly made out to him crushing their skull. Frankly I'm surprised Mortal Kombat hasn't used anything like that.
On top of this, the episode had started off with the hint that everything was fine. Megabyte was trapped behind the firewall, he tried launching an attack through a hole created by Hexadecimal but it was just a hole in one spot so his forces were easily shot down. Everyone gather to see Enzo who finally won them over enter the game. But when finally faced the User, after winning a round, he started losing and despite his best efforts, he just could not beat the User. And then we cut outside the gamecube, with the familiar "Game Over" but it was followed by something we rarely ever heard "User Wins." Following Dot's cry after everyone is silent, we hear Megabyte laughing in delight.
1: I for some reason never saw this.
So for honorable mentions, I have few I feel should be one there instead, or just plain on the list
The alternate reality Dot was viewing at the end of Season 1's two part finale. Season 1 was mostly lighthearted, so it's finale was shocking with how dark it was. Dot had gotten a number of binomes to trust her with their PIDs, but thanks to Cryus' betrayal they are stolen and wind in Megabyte's possession. Dot spends the episode beating herself up until she and Bob end up in a game, where Bob loses leaving Dot to win, and she suddenly finds herself hearing the game is over and she is Mainframe ruled by Megabyte. Of course it turns out not be real, but the look at Megabyte's rule over Mainframe is stunning with how dark it is compared to what the show had looked like before hand with the city a ruined dystopia and Megabyte is practically worshiped. It went to show us why even he had not achieved any major victories, why he could not be allowed to win. And it was the kick in the pants Dot needed to win the game. This gave us a surprising moment where Bob wasn't the hero for a change.
Megabyte breaking into the Principle Office at the start of Season 2. So at the start of Season 2 we had an episode where Megabyte sneaked into the Principle Office disguised as a package that was an upgrade from the User. Glitch is conveniently out of power so Bot and Dot can't do anything to stop Megabyte from accessing the Principle Office's control and he starts using them to try and reformat Mainframe into his image. For the rest of the episode it is a race against time with the constant dread seeing the city and everyone in slowly being fading out of existence.
Hexadecimal fighting Daemon. So when we saw Daemon she proved unstoppable. No weapon used by any of the main characters could harm her and she used her power to infect each of them and reduce them to her devoted worshipers. Against this unstoppable villain it is Hexadecimal of all people who comes out as the unlikely hero, returning to her original Virus form and having drawn power from Mainframe's core, actually fights against Daemon and for the first time we actually see somebody hinder the Super Virus.
Matrix and Andrai in the unnamed system. So after Enzo and Andrai vanished into the Mortal Kombat clone, we two Sprites in a game which turn out to be them. We see that they have visibly aged into very different characters than what we knew from before, Matrix especially when he finds that mantis virus and kills it while it's begging for mercy.
"Unforgettable! ... I have no idea what the next line is."
The list is fine, i'd make a few adjustments in placing but im ok with this as a reboot fan.
Stay Frosty!!!!!!
It was great to watch the show when it aired and be able to connect with some of the staff on the Reboot newsgroup.
Although it looks a little dated, it's amazing how well it holds up. This was at the very start of CG cartoons. They taught Pixar how to do CG. And they had so many in-jokes and meta references. For instance, the Welman on the tape player (2:12) was the name of a staff member.
Most of the best bits are from season 3. That was after ABC dropped the show and they could make it without the parental restrictions. It's a shame they ran out of money before they could finished season 4. But season 4 never seemed as good as season 3.
RIP Tony Jay (Megabyte)
One scene that sticks with me is when Bob removed Hexadecimal's mask and all of her personalities started talking to him at once.
Spoilers? lol
That part from the beginning of Season One all the way until the end of Season Four was pretty good
Holy fuck!!!! I forgot all about this show!
Still have Firewall on VHS and its the same where Enzo lose his eye. Best episode for me.
I love this series,from it's storylines to the funny dialogues...to bad Tony Jay will no longer be able to voice Megabyte
kirby march Barcena
Whosoever takes his place will have big shoes to fill.
William Norton That would be hard for the replacement voice actor. The baritone voice of Tony is quite distinct and unique which is why he was immediately identified as Megatron in the Beast Wars Transformers by the fans.
kirby march Barcena
I thought someone else voiced Megatron on Beast Wars.
He sure wouldn't have had trouble voicing Unicron.
William Norton David Kaye
I’m 25 now and I still remember Bob leaving and returning.I lost my shit when he came back.
I am so glad the guitar battle made the list xD
Believe it or not, the musicians were just 2 guys from the production staff that knew how to play guitar
I canceled my Netflix account over this. A bit much I know but this show is why I love cgi. And they turned it into a live action pile of garbage and shit all over the old fans. I expected more from Netflix but I was let down as a customer. I mean come on the show showed a reboot fan as a 40+ stereotype. I'm a fan that watched this as a kid. I'm not even 30.WTF?
lol GIGABYTE
lol
Silphet i am become gigabyte, destroyer of systems

Incoming game!
PittsburghTroll yaaasss
Man i miss this series. Its a shame that the guardian code was complete and total garbage from start to finish. Its like netflix bought the IP just to ruin it.
This show was amazing!
8:48 Some shows targeted for kids and teens had some of the most heart wrenching screams. This would definitely make that list.
This makes me want to watch all the Reboot seasons!
Can’t believe what they did to Reboot with this remake.... They totally raped my childhood.... lol
Vance Wallace What’s wrong with it? I never saw this show before.
This show was a freakin’ masterpiece!
this made me sad as they have made a HORRIBLE live action reboot reboot
Is it just me, or does Phong's design kinda remind of E.T.?
What? Hexadecimal's sacrife wasn't good enough for you guys to even show up in the honorable mentions!!!
Yeah no Mike the TV moments either which was kind of shocking, he had some pretty funny moments.
wow how nostalgic XD I would have made a honorable mention for the rematch with Satan
I remember when Enzo lost. For 6-7 yo me that was mindblowing.
It reminded me of the Original Muppet Show! I miss it's references. "Make it so"
Hexadecimal used to scare the beejayzus out of me 🤣🤣
