Guardians Evolution

Guardians Evolution (sometimes stylized Guardians: Evolution or abbreviated as Guardians^[1][2]) is a claymated TV series that broadcasts as part of APTN Kids on Aboriginal Peoples Television Network. It is broadcast in both Cree and English. It is directed by Dennis Jackson^[3] and co-created with Melanie Jackson. They and Erick Jackson wrote the first six episodes, two each.

Concept

In 2,078 A.D. there is a Great Extinction Event. Five teenagers are cryogenically frozen as part of Project Guardian. They awake in 41,740,659 A.D. to a wildly different Earth. With the help of a robot they must resettle the planet, opposed by another preserved human with an army of robots. They were supposed to be frozen for 50 million years but an earthquake contaminated their cryogenic pods and caused an early emergency-release. Their parents are still trapped in contaminated cryo-pods and cannot be released safely so the teens must rebuild civilization alone.

They are tasked with finding a replacement accelerator ring (protected by a cloaking field) so that their base and regain enough power to facilitate repairs. They wear crystal-driven power suits which enhance their strength and speed and protect them from the elements as they venture out into a mutant wilderness. They also carry energy guns with a stun setting. Their suits have buttons which summon a hovercycle or put on a protective helmet (another button removes it, collapsing into a back storage compartment) or shoot a grappling hook with retractable cord to pull them up instead of climbing.

There are giant Herbivores who resemble Sauropods except they are mammals.
