Mainframe Entertainment's SFX wizards recently walked away with honors from the LEO awards. Marcel Duperreault, Todd Araki, Jason Fredrickson and Kirk Furniss nabbed the company two of the Canadian awards at a ceremony held last weekend. The LEOs, similar to an EMMY, were awarded to ActionMan as 'Best Overall Sound, Animation' for the series finale episode, "The Ultimate Doom - Part 2". Reboot season 4's "Daemon Rising" later went on to snatch up the second award, beating out various prime time shows in the Category of 'Best Sound Editing, Dramatic Series".

Also, on a side note, the last 4 episodes of ActionMan, including both parts of "The Ultimate Doom", were never aired on FoxKids in the US.
At the same time on the other side of Gotham, Mainframe announced 2 new properties on the horizon: 'Dots Bots' and 'Wubbies'.

The property, which takes place in the futuristic 'Turbo City', revolves around a 12 year-old scientific genius named of Dorothy Dill. Dorothy (Dot to her friends) succeeds in creating an series of robots assembled from the scrap remains in her grandfather's junkyard. Finding her robots having magically come to life, Dot sets out to protect them from exploits of the outside world. She decides to keep their existence a secret, with her younger brother Arnie as the only other person to know. And through a series of events, this set-up aims to lead audiences on an imaginative and electrifying series of adventures in the process.
