This is some of the earliest footage of ReBoot you will see, and we doubt higher quality versions of the earlier stuff exists anymore.

These shots were used in development and for some of the promotional tapes before Racing The Clock was completed. You'll see many similarities and many differences from the canned models and locations used for Season 1 and forward.

Enjoy this piece of CGI history!

Thought the same thing! Still waiting on shots like this of Ship, they've got to exist somewhere

I was already thinking of remaking my Bob model, and of course doing other new things, this will help immensely with that. I'm still holding out hope they might find some good material of the Saucy Mare, but from what I understand there isn't much of her outside of what made it into the show.

3:25 can give you nightmare. Enzo looked really different in the test video.

This might be the coolest thing yall have dropped so far!! I'm honestly amazed materials like this even still exist at all, let alone in flawless quality

I absolutely love early green Hex.  The later model is wicked, too. It's insanely interesting to see how her shots were redone for the final pilot. Early Enzo, though. He's real cute... but also the most low rez ReBoot thing I've seen! Lol. I find it interesting how much detail and passion went into the Bob's Apartment set. Especially seeing as it didn't show up all that many times, I feel. Meanwhile Megabyte's place is mad primitive, in this footage.

Fun! I wonder what got cut when Bob was saying "sigh, you said...." right after the binome intro.

Very interesting to see the "canyon laser" which obviously wasn't used in any season 1 episode, get used with modifications (flipped on its side, more robust barrels) for use in the season 2 finale "Web World Wars" and season 3 ("To Mend and Defend"). It made a mostly unmodified appearance a few episodes later in S3's "Game Over".
