[edit] Character Profile

Mainframe is a rookie cop, a young, intelligent woman. The mistress of computer technology and high-tech wizardry. Capable of working with computers and assisting her team members in efforts to successfully solve capers and thwart Big Boss' crooked plans as well as prepare for the crime boss' next caper. She is seen wearing a baseball cap, a blue vest, blue pants, blue earrings, yellow shirt and is never far away from any terminal, where she works on crime-solving programs and giving out reports on what's going on in the criminal world that involves another big caper Big Boss is doing.

The comic version of Mainframe featured a much different version of her in appearance, including a different type of vest and hair design than what is seen in the cartoon.

Mainframe is only seen exclusively in both the comics and the cartoon. She was never part of the toy series.

In the Shout! Factory DVD set, Disk 1, which one of the bonuses on it features sketches & concept artwork made for the show, has an image of a policewoman wielding a nightstick in her hand. She is the early, original prototype image of Mainframe created by Bart Sears who did the designs for most of the characters of the show before deciding later on to change her into the much more familiar computer whiz.

[edit] The Case of C.O.P.S. File #1

Mainframe and Hardtop both are the ones responsible of thwarting one of Big Boss' most nefarious schemes in The Case of C.O.P.S. File #1, where they are able to put a stop to Big Boss' crimewave and help the C.O.P.S. ground the Ultimate Crime Machine Dr. BadVibes has built to help in pulling off the biggest heist in the history of Empire City, even though both were supposed to stay put at the precinct. Mainframe was able to use her computer genius and technology to manipulate the large vessel, causing it to go out of control. Turbo Tu-Tone and Rock Krusher was able to escape only to get arrested by the C.O.P.S while Buzzbomb escapes to hide inside of a dumpster. As a result of Mainframe's performance and Hardtop's incredible driving skills, Bulletproof, warmly and graciously, welcomed both the 2 rookie officers into the C.O.P.S. team.
