** Pre-production on the show began in 2013, when Rainmaker Entertainment CEO Michael Hefferon announced that his company wanted to create a sequel to the [[WesternAnimation/{{Reboot}} original cartoon series]] that took place 20 years afterwards and showed how technology and the world had changed in the interim, noting that the original characters would be limited to cameo appearances. According toa poster the insider account, Rainmaker (which had achieved great success with shows like ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'', numerous DirectToVideo ''Franchise/{{Barbie}}'' films and other associated projects) decided that they wanted to create the first CG-rendered show on 4Chan television made using the Unreal Engine. (In actuality, ''Series/{{Lazytown}}'' was the first series to utilize the Unreal Engine, a fact that seemingly went unnoticed by the team). Despite this, the team was allegedly told by Hefferon to continue promoting the show as if this fact were true.
** Despite his need to render the show in the Unreal Engine, Hefferon hired a programmer whoclaimed to have worked on was allegedly unfamiliar with the show, software and struggled to render graphics, along with a rotating series of art directors who quit due to behind-the-scenes problems. (The struggles can be seen in the finished product, where most of the backgrounds and environments are based off static concept art.) Additionally, due to the programmer reportedly assuring Hefferon that lighting would be handled by Unreal Engine's internal shaders, this didn't work and the production suffered heavily from ExecutiveMeddling, mostly was forced to hastily hire lighting artists out of post-secondary institutions once it became clear that the CEO taking near complete control of lighting in the first few episodes were much darker than normal.
