* ResetButton: This series seems to imply that it takes place before the events of the original series and is part of a separate timeline, but the User from "Mainframe Mayhem" seems to be a fan of the original show, so how this new series fits into canon is poorly explained at best.

Teased on and off over half-a-decade, ''The Guardian Code'' spent a long time in DevelopmentHell.

* HourOfPower: The Guardians can only stay in the net for as long as their suits have power. Once it drops to 5%, the suits enter a power-saving mode which puts the user into a temporary coma. If they run out of power, the suits would lose integrity and they'd die horribly.

* DepartmentOfredundancyDepartment: The Sourcerer has a habit of repeating the same thing in a different way as a VerbalTic.
* ExplosiveLeash: The Sourcerer puts a delete code into [=MegaByte's=] upgrade so [=MegaByte=] has no choice but to obey him.
