I don't think cadets get keytools. Perhaps most Guardians don't either - Turbo did say it was an 'honor to be chosen'...and he knew Glitch by name.

But yes, it would lead to wacky situations. Hee hee!

I thought that was a really cool touch, personally - we've seen him attempting to delete, but generally only when the entire system is dead/in MAJOR danger (Medusa Bug, Infected)
It also sort of explains his willingness to work with (or at least talk to) Megabyte in 'The Tearing', and 'Web World Wars'...and that thing in 'When Games Collide'
Bob's obviously got a bit of a...non-standard...interpretation of the Guardian protocol. Which appears to be big on deletion in general - see 'Trust No One'. Turbo is pretty much a pragmatic bastard. Bob is more idealistic. I don't think it means he's evil, just naive :P

Sure, he blew up the ABC, but it was literally this close to deleting Matrix before he stepped in. And he did intervene for Hack and Slash.

8. Does Bob have any right to turn Megabyte into a sprite? Is that much different than Megabyte infecting binomes? Wouldn't this also suggest a certain evil-ness to Bob?

I think there's two parts to this.

1: Revenge. Admittedly, Bob's usually not too keen on this, but it's -Megabyte-. Turbo, at least, equates Megs with Kilobyte...and I think Bob still has -major- guilt over Dixon - he needs to prove his ideas were worth something, or he needlessly distracted Dixon, causing her deletion.
Meg's arguments have some effect on him - but Megabyte essentially ruined his life several times over- Bob wants Megabyte to -understand- that, and he can't as a virus. Currently Megabyte honestly doesn't care that much about the pain he's caused Bob. I think Bob wants to give Megabyte a conscience - deletion's too easy and ultimately unsatisfying for him. You know what I think he wants? An apology.

2: Idealism. Bob really believes that making Megabyte a sprite is for Megabyte's own good. I think Bob's really tired of fighting. He wants everyone to get along, and he's willing to do creepy things to do it.

I don't think it makes Bob evil.

>And if he is evil, will he be able to pull off a good manical laugh? Or will everyone just stare at his eyebrows and go "Aww..." like usual?

Just look at Creepy MegaBob. It can be done.
(though I am reminded of a certain exchange in Gargoyles...)

>9. Why can't they find a real babysitter for little >Enzo?

Would -you- want to?

>Is that the same reason AndrAIa's always stuck >babysitting Matrix?

See above :P

>Why hasn't anyone in Mainframe realized the profit >potential of a daycare business?

I'm sure Dot has. That's why she's not letting anyone else run one and making Cecil take care of Enzo. Cost-saving. :P

10. What kind of pet would each ReBoot character most like to have? Which character would accidentally let the most pets die?

I think Megabyte should have an evil viral cat. Think 'My Apprentice', here

Oh. Wait. My mind just exploded from the potential evil consequences of 'Sith Academy' crossovers. Never mind
