ATTN: Former MFE/RNK employees; did you or someone you know heroically backup ReBoot's asset data (or other MFE shows) during the 2012 Winder ordered purge?

📣THE MASTER TAPES FOR ALL OF

HAVE BEEN FOUND SAFE AND SOUND!
The only problem? They're effectively useless without a D1 tape deck to read them and transfer that to a lossless digital copy. Do you have one?🙏
Wow! 😵I never expected the incredible amount of replies, retweets, quote tweets, and new followers (almost 500!). The team has some leads, but nothing 100% confirmed. Hopefully they'll have a D1 deck secured before year's end!
I'll try to respond to all the replies tomorrow!👍

For anyone going "Didn't you say the masters were trashed by Winder in 2012?".... no, I never said that. Under her order various items tossed in the dumpster, sold to employees, etc (confirmed by 2 reliable sources), but the fate of the master tapes was never known... until now.
Toy Story is trending for some reason, but before that CGI movie premiered on November 22 1995, there was a full-length CGI series that premiered on Sept 10 1994. It came on every Saturday morning, or more if you were in Canada. A series that deserves far more recognition.

So today I turned 36.... I started the "ReBoot Revival" back when I was 20. I must admit that I was definitely a bit more optimistic back then. However, I still have hope that before I'm 40,
#ReBoot
will be revived and it'll be done right this time.

Never thought I'd mention TGC (The Guardian Code, the live-action thing) again but I see misinformation is still rampant 5yrs later.
FACTS:
1. Not a sequel or canon to the original
#ReBoot
2. Not produced by
#Netflix
(just distributed)
3. Only 1 season (of 20 eps) wasn't renewed

On this day 22yrs ago, "Crouching Binome, Hidden Virus" premiered on
#CartoonNetwork
. We've been prepared for the Hunt all these years.
Perhaps if the ReBoot ReWind docu-series is popular enough, maybe we'll FINALLY get the resolution to that cliffhanger.

Sad news
#ReBoot
fans. Ian Gibson, renowned comic artist, has passed away. Gibson worked with Ian Pearson and Gavin Blair in the early days of ReBoot's development. While the series evolved, his work is still evident in the designs for Bob's apt, Hack & Slash, and the Binomes.
Why didn't
#GuardianBob
ever try to find a way to contact the User, you may be wondering. Didn't Bob in the intro say "No one knows for sure, but I intend to find out!"?
That line was not written by the co-creators. Got tossed once they were done with ABC post

Nearly 30 years since it premiered & almost 21 since the cliffhanger, we're getting OFFICIALLY LICENSED

As it's inevitable I'll be asked what is the "Winder Purge", please read the following. Rainmaker's failings should make sense when you consider the Xing-Xing deal (terminated months later) which followed her departure from the company. Hefferon became president in November 2012.
Not dead! Was in the hospital until a short while ago, I needed to have surgery. Couldn't connect to net, bad signal in room, also pain-meds made me very groggy. Will explain more later when possible, I need to rest.

Did you catch this while watching the "Number 7" episode of

?
#AndrAIa
rebooted into
#Hexadecimal
, but was the original design. This is consistent except for one scene (see first image). Though given it's all in

Look at the WayBack Machine capture from October 6th: 1,321 likes / 1,392 followers. A 4K increase in 11 days? I don't think so.
Lies and deception. Typical.
Second part of playing catch-up. January 10th 1998, "Showdown" premiered on
