Will we ever find out what happened at the end of season four?


I know there is a fan made webcomic, but I am talking about from the producers of the series. Come out with a comic book or something! It would be nice to know what happened after Megabyte took over the principle's office.

No, they are clinging to false hope and basically betraying their fans by never releasing intended outcomes. The integrity of the writers is rather dubious really.

Since you took it upon yourself to blurt out such an ignorant and blatantly obnoxious statement, I felt compelled to educate you on the matter of 'ReBoot.'

The show's original creators had a vision, one which was not able to be fulfilled due to Rainmaker Entertainment acquiring the rights to the show and anything ReBoot related. To this day, Rainmaker Entertainment and their subsidiary company which they brought back 'Mainframe Entertainment', claim to be working on a show titled "ReBoot: Guardian Code."

One should note, that this show has absolutely nothing to do with the original 'Reboot' aside from namesake, it's not even the same premise. The cameo appearances they claim will occur from characters will more than likely make zero sense, and be forced for the sake of milking the namesake. Not a single one of the creators, nor the voice actors have been contacted to have anything to do with Guardian Code, so don't even try to blame this garbage on them. They have a right to keep their secrets until they deem fit to release them, or end their story in their own way. If you want to be angry or bitter or pissed off at anyone, then point the blame at Rainmaker. They've done nothing with ReBoot for decades, and then all of a sudden they want to ruin everything about it.

Your ignorance is disgusting. Since you felt the need to talk down to me and attempt to educate me, allow me to do the same for you.

Writers and creators of shows often OFTEN find their work discontinued, canceled or taken over by someone else. This is the nature of Tv, comics, video games, movies ect. The characters will outlive the creators. X-mens most famous writer didn't even create the x-men. Chris Claremont did the stories most people remember today. He doesn't write for them now, he got replaced. He certainly was happy to talk about original ideas and concepts with fans. Because people loved his work and he loved his fans.

See, what happened was is they hired a person to write for characters and he went bye bye after a while and he had more ideas. Do you understand? The writer become obsolete.

I doubt they are beholden to NDA contracts, it's been over 15 years and reboot is not a strong property.

Id love to meet the writers of reboot and tell them how much I respect their creativity and then spit in their face for little I respect their integrity. Reboot is dead and no amount of contempt for corporate BS will bring it back. The writers scorn is disgusting and Ive never seen it anything like it before. Everyone writer I know is over joyed to continue telling their stories, even if its through their own voice and to fans directly not through the characters in a massive way. The fans are why it existed and we didn't exist as fans until the content existed, we cannot be held responsible to bring something back that we didn't create to begin with.

It's also been 15 years since the ending. Sot he likelihood of any continuation is very unlikely. Plus as stated Rainmaker has the rights now and are planning to continue it in other ways instead of continuing it on from the cliffhanger.

Wish they would have revealed their intended plans so we could know the intended ending. The same thing happened to Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles, but the writers outlined their plans for the final few episodes so people would know how it was supposed to end instead of being stuck with a cliffhanger. Be nice for the fans that have stuck by them for 15 years to hear the intended ending. Don't have to go into detail but give us a base outline of it. Even if it did get made we'd still watch it and buy it to actually see it so not liek they'd be losing out on any money really but revealing it.

reply

They do that, and then what incentive is there to bring them back if it's ever considered for production and who's to say Rainmaker won't pan it off as their own idea?

What incentive is their to bring them back now? The most valuable piece of the property is the characters and settings, not the writers. The show is not going to profit and bring in people by filling in the cliffhanger very few people are aware of. They need mass appeal and the original writers are not relevant to that effect. Holding out on the fans is a personal vendetta the writers have against a situation that's out of everyone's control. The ones who suffer is the fans. The ones who get what they want is no one.

reply

You really seem to not get it. Characters and settings are NOTHING without the original creative team behind them.

Very few people are aware of the cliffhanger? Hi, I'd like you to meet the 2.8k members of my facebook group.

Really? NOTHING? I guess we never should have gotten Chris Claremont to do X-men, what a horrible idea that was, should have stuck with Stan Lee, right? I guess I just don't get that. That these stories HAVE to be written by the original writers, as new writers have never been able to take on a property and do it better.

Also, yea, how stupid of me not to see 2800 people want the show back. That these 2800 people warrant the budget and should be serviced too. I mean, msot TV shows have over 100k, people watching, and I guess if it were on, that 2800 would some how become 50 times the number it is now. I mean if it were a comic selling 2800 a month it would likely be canceled due to low numbers, but yea, it matters, right? Its enough, right?

I clearly do not get it, and the writers love their fans and would rather we get nothing from them short of a full on revival. The fans should do all the work to get the show back for people that offer nothing to us at this point.

Yup... I don't get it. Please explain it to me.

I don't believe they had actually written the next arc of episodes just had the outline of where they were going with it. The creators revealed some stuff in an interview for a reboot website years back and claimed that divulging the information meant they wouldn't be able to use it if ReBoot ever came back:

There was to be another musical recap at the end of the season.

It would have ended with everything back to normal and Megabyte back in the Tor.

They were building the story in season 4 that Bob had intended to find a way to convert Megabyte from a virus to a sprite so the assumption was that he would have accomplished this by the end of season 4 eliminating all threats to Mainframe once and for all.
