Premise

The Cyboars are six

bionic body parts by the human scientists of C.O.R.E. (Cybernetic Organisms Robotic Engineering), and now they must rebuild their ship
while simultaneously fighting against the Renegades, criminal minions of the Bytrons who have been similarly augmented by the evil forces of S.T.A.G. (Symbiotic Technology Altered Genetics).

The Wylde Pack

Bushar, also known by the

codename "Bush Hog", is an expert in battle strategy and is the leader of the Cyboars. His weapons include The Battle Bandolier, a bandolier containing slime slicks, blinding flare mines, and stink bombs. He also has The Mud Guns, mud-shooting pistols. His character design consists of a black and grey suit with brown belts wrapped around the thighs and chest, along with blue dots around the body and gray/white sunglasses.[4]

Ardonna, also known by the codename "Sparky", is a

hack into any machine. Her character design consists of a partly pink suit and long blonde hair.[5]

Sen Sunar, also known by the codename "Old Fang", is a martial arts master. Using his concentration, his sword, made from the tusk of a Stygorian dinosaur, can summon an energy ghost of the dinosaur which will then obey his commands. His character design consists of a purple and gray suit with two swords.[6]

Sten-Kai, also known by the codename "Stampede", is described as being the ''headstrong, wildboar'' member of the cyboars and is also described as being "wisecracking but non-wise". His powers include ''cyboarnetic'' legs, allowing him to run super-fast. His character design consists of a green and gray suit, along with orange hair.[7]

Kachonga, also known by the codename "Hog Kong", is described as being ''the strong man of the Cyboars''. His powers include super strength and the ''Super-Sonic Stomp''. His character design consists of a purple and gray suit with spikes.[8]

List of Cyboars Episodes
Episode name
Episode 1 - Crash Landing Bushar awakens in a dark place, wired up, and meets a mysterious robot. A flashback occurs, showing the Wylde Pack on the planet of Bytron attempting to save Stygorian scientist Ardonna after a distress call from a lab, getting chased by Renegades. The flashback ends, and Bushar finds out the robot is Ardonna, and finds out that he also now is part-machine. [11]
Episode 2 - Island Getaway Ardonna introduces Bushar to Dr. Genetti in the C.O.R.E. lab, who explains that cyboarging them was the only way to save their lives. They visit Staghorn Island, the secret base of the evil android Stagorex, to find the missing parts of the ship, and the defence system of the island is run by unconsenting kids with genius brains. One of the kids, Glitch, is revealed to the viewers that he is a spy for Stagorex. [12]
Episode 3 - A Matter of Trust Ardonna goes for one of the ship parts alone, while Bushar, Airboar and Stampede go for the other one. Ardonna finds Glitch, who snuck onto her ship, and an unknowing Glitch accidentally tracks their location to the Renegades via his watch. The Renegades analyze her Cyboar technology, while Glitch sends a signal to Bushar and Stampede who then rescue them. [13]
Episode 4 - The Road Home The newly Cyboarg'd Sen Sunar is introduced. Ardonna reveals that she has rebuilt the ship, but the group disagrees on whether they should take off or stay to fight the Renegades. Stagorex asks Glitch to disable the security system to the lab, but he refuses and throws away the watch. The watch turns into a robotic spider, disabling the security system. The Renegades steal the ship, with Genetti still inside it. [14]
Episode 5 - The Vote Hog Kong asks to be Cyboarg'd. Glitch reveals that Stagorex was able to obtain the technology because of him, and the Cyboars take a vote on whether Glitch should be voted out or not. Glitch arrives to Staghorn Island in a raft, tricks the Renegades into thinking he was abandoned by the Cyboars and is then able to sabotage the systems so the Cyboars can attack the base and rescue Genetti. Their ship gets destroyed, and the Cyboars realize that their fate is to stay on Earth and protect it. [15]

According to an article on the Cyboars website, the show exceeded 500,000 on-demand downloads six weeks after the launch of the first five episodes, and became the fastest growing series on the Kabillion network.[16]
