Antis DNI

Propaganda for both ships provided under the cut

SlyCoop Propaganda (Incest - Father and Son, Age Gap)

"There was an ENTIRE ARC / TWO EPISODES (Past Perfect Prediction and Measure for Measure) DEDICATED TO FINDING COOP! Sliders entire character arc was about finding his dad, who had been missing on Discardia after Hacker put magnetite in his helmet as revenge for him not giving him the NIC card for the transformatron. He left because he didn't want Hacker to come after Slider and that's just too cute! <3 PLUS COOP WAS VOICED BY TONY HAWK IN HIS EPISODE (Measure for measure) AND THAT WAS COOL ASF. Plus Cyberchase as a show is just iconic and one of the best PBS Kids shows. They were DEFINETELY pining for eachother in the time they were apart <3 Tears were 100% shed because they missed eachother so badly! <3 Plus they're both Skaters and skater boys are hot asf so a ship between them? Absolutely!! <33 VOTE SLIDER/COOP!!!!!!!!!"

King's Throne Propaganda (Age Gap, Abusive Dynamic)

Both Here and:

"The tiefling is Noise, the figure is The Bard King"

"Look at them, they're both twinks <3"

"This is right before He took Noise's eye, but look at the homoeroticity-"

What makes Slider proud?

There's a few things! When he was younger getting praised by his father's made him beam with pride, nothing could make him prouder than feeling like he did something right in his parent's eyes.

Now it's expanded. He's proud when he finishes a trick or course successfully. He also feels proud when he gets one of his friends to laugh or smile, or when something he's building or fixing ends up working.

So short answer is Slider's proud of his work and having the ability to make others happy.

Whuttttt an actual art post?

Basically my warmup page turned into an actual art page. Minus that little fuzzy makeuped digit in the corner lol

I feel like Coop would’ve been one of those guys to wear the seashell necklaces. Yes I’m aware that Radopolis has no such beaches.

One of my favorite things about Hacker is how he doesn’t hide his sad emotions. The man cries 😩 this is supposed to be a sort of excerpt from that baseball ep when the kids steal the key to the city back and Hacker just starts bawling. Yeah kinda cringe, but man….lil kid me died in sadness for him :( makes for good art anyhow.

Slider + some torn hand gloves. I love how his hair came out :3

That weird Digit in case anyone was curious lmao

[loonykatz]

Slider and Inez, but something's fishy about them...

Cyberweek 2025 Day Four: Chill

Something I like about the Cybersquad in particular is that they're all pretty well rounded. It would have been easy to make Matt the sporty one, Inez the nerd, and Jackie the popular fashionista with artistic flair. But no - they all have a variety of activities they enjoy. One of Matt's most notable traits is that he's a huge Greek mythology nerd, Jackie plays video games and runs track, and Inez bakes and at least has enough physical strength to regularly stand on her head.

So, here's the gang chilling with their cyber friends. Just sharing their hobbies with their buddies <3

[sailorplutoirl]

I know the Cyberchase fandom is really tiny but why don’t people ship Jackie x Slider like it feels like he likes her BACK

Always looking at her with love in his eyes. Like I get Slider x Matt like it makes sense but why not these two they were poc4poc and bi4bi. Sometimes they can’t handle Matt’s White nonsense. Slider feels Brown but also East Asian.

Cyberchase Character Discussion (for your local Cyberchase trivia quiz) - #6: Slider

Alright, here's your boy.

It's about time I got around to him, right? He's, what, the most popular character in the whole show?

Slider was one of a slate of characters introduced in Season 3. So, he didn't get an original "Meet the Cybersquad" entry. His first ever appearance would have been on the Cyberchase website during their "Who's New?" promotion. We get to see Slider and Creech, who both went on to appear in numerous episodes. We also get to see Nero the Animal Hero, Mister Z, Roxy, and Sheldon. I don't think those four have appeared since their debut episodes.

So, what did we learn about Slider here?

Lives in Radopolis

Loves to skateboard and is really good at it

Can fix anything

That's not alot to go on. With how Radopolis is, the second point is kind of redundant. Later on, they did give us more facts on his official trading card.

He's 13 years old (or is that Cyber-years?). We'll assume that this makes him older than the Earth Brats. His favorite color is red. He enjoys speed (going fast), string cheese, and sneakers. He dislikes busy-bodies and The Hacker, with an emphasis on The Hacker. He's great at skateboarding and building stuff.

His favorite line is just "Cool." To be fair, he doesn't seems like the sort of person to bother with a proper catch phrase.

Slider appeared for the first time during the gang's second trip to Radopolis, in Season 3 Episode 2 "Borg of the Ring". When he first shows up, he rescues Inez, Matt, and Jackie from a tire avalanche. He is notably unconcerned about the chaos unfolding on Radopolis. It's only after they mention The Hacker and/or The Totally Rad Ring, that he accepts that he has to do something about this.

Matt: Thanks for saving us.

Slider: (smiles, nods, and starts to leave)

Nezzie: Wait, you can't just leave us here! We need a ride!

Slider: Not my problem

Jackie: But we have to stop Hacker! He has the totally Rad Ring!

Slider: Just became my problem.

We know that The Hacker used the Rad Ring to remove everyone's wheels. Slider has a substitute for a wheel on his board, in the form of an aluminum can. This suggests that he has already been impacted by The Hacker's actions. And yet, he needs further motivation to get involved. It makes me wonder if he was testing that can as a replacement to the wheel, skated off while lost in his own head, and didn't notice everyone else's wheels disappearing around him.

Of course, we have to talk about Jackie and Inez immediately crushing on him.

This is something that continued into the series. He looks confused or weirded out in the show.

In also continued in Ron Barrett's official comic, "The Great Cyber-skate". He's shown to be oblivious to what's going on here.

"Borg of the Ring" also introduces his rivalry with Matt. Well, okay, it was more of a one-sided rivalry where Matt was being an ass and Slider barely noticed, but we got some good Matt faces.

We also get this shot, where Matt and Slider are racing to Point Dune, and Slider overtakes Matt easily.

Relax shippers. They just met. This is a children's educational show.

Which one of you drew that?

Anyway, back in "Borg of the Ring", we get a scene where Digit is trying to figure out how to make the ring. Matt offers to show him how. And then, something odd happens.

Slider: We need to adjust the radius.

Digit: Uh-huh, what am I missing here?

Matt: Don't worry Didge. The radius is the distance from the center point out to the edge of the circle. To change how big or small a circle is, just change the radius. I'll show you.

Slider: Nevermind. I'll make it. And I've got just the tool to do it.

Yeah, Slider got sick of listening to the lesson of the episode and just interrupted it. Is that allowed?

Okay, I've put it off long enough. Let's talk about Slider's dad.

We first hear about Slider's dad in "Snelfu Snafu Part 1", where Slider finds the Syncholator and a note from dad telling him to use it to find him.

However, he accidentally uses the ID code for the Encryptor Chip, which reveals that it is on an auction site. At the same time, we just had a radio contact from Dr. Marbles stating that he found the chip. This leads to a short scene that I had forgotten about until now.

Slider: Maybe he (Dr. Marbles) is the one selling the chip.

Digit: Never!

Slider: Cyborgs have been known to switch sides, you know?

Slider immediately goes with the idea that Dr. Marbles, Motherboard's technician/husband(?) has betrayed her. The Encryptor Chip is the only thing that can cure Motherboard, and Slider speculates that Dr. Marbles is trying to sell the chip for personal gain instead.

Near the end of "Snelfu Snafu Part 2", Slider assembles the Syncholator with additional parts to amplify its power. They need to use it to locate and retrieve the Encryptor Chip to recover Motherboard's soul. However, the modifications means that the Syncholator will burn out after one use.

Jackie: Wait a minute. Is there somebody else you need to find?

Slider: My dad. I was going to use the Syncholator to try to locate him

Slider: But if I'm ever going to have a chance to find him, Motherboard needs to be saved first.

As far as I know, this is the first time Slider tells Matt, Jackie, and Inez even a little bit of his tragic back-story. And the show takes his sacrifice of the Syncholator seriously.

Anyway, before we really dig into "Measure for Measure", let's have Matt and Slider get in way over their heads trying to babysit Podlings.

For the purposes of keeping this short and relatively focused, I won't go into too much detail about Slider and Coop's story. However, I will hit the high points.

Back in the day, The Hacker and Coop worked together on a device called the Transformatron, which could transform one thing into another. However, Coop realized that The Hacker was going to use the Transformatron to take over Cyberspace. So, Coop ripped up the plans and sent them elsewhere.

The Hacker took his revenge by swapping Coop's helmet for one made of red magnetite. This damaged Coop's hard drive, causing him to age prematurely.

Coop knew that the magnetite was dangerous enough to harm Slider. So, he left Slider behind in Radopolis, while he went into hiding on Discardia to develop a cure for magnetite poisoning.

The show never states how long Coop and Slider were separated. Keep in mind that Slider is only 13 when we meet him. Slider doesn't appear to have any other family or any sort of support network before the Earthlies show up. At some point, Coop learned that the cure to magnetite poisoning requires magnetite as an ingredient. However, borgs cannot work with magnetite. It's not clear whether Coop came up with any plans after this point, or if he gave up completely.

And then, Digit and the Earthlies arrived. They are immune to magnetite and able to finally mix the cure for Coop.

Yeah, The Hacker comes along, poisons Slider with red magnetite right in front of Coop, and takes Slider as a hostage. We learn that red magnetite damage causes Slider's feet to grow very large, preventing him from running away.

Hacker: Now I have the NIC and your son. Welcome to your worst nightmare, my old friend.

Yeah, this whole storyline is shockingly dark for a children's educational show. I'm glad that they made it. I don't believe I watched this back when it came out, but I would have found it amazing as a kid. I think most kids, either back then, or today, would be able to handle it just fine.

We get a happy ending. The Earthlies are able to save Slider, recover the NIC, and even heal Coop's own magnetite poisoning. And so, Coop and Slider were re-united and ready to get back to skateboarding.

Matt appears to have let go of his one-sided rivalry with Slider. The last episode containing such a rivalry was Season 6 Episode 6 "Team Spirit", where Team Motherboard competes in the Olympics . With Jackie injured, Slider needed to come in to substitute. All the data suggested that Matt needed to handle the swimming section, while Slider needed to handle the final run up to finish line.

Matt was committed to making the final run himself, to the point of refusing to compete. As they needed three people to compete, this selfish decision would have caused Team Motherboard to forfeit.

This wasn't really about Slider as much as it was down to Matt wanting to prove himself to his hero, Zeus. Near the end of the episode, while Matt is thinking it over, Slider comes forward to say something. However, before he can say it, Matt stops him and agrees to give the final run to the finish line to Slider, for the good of the team.

With those stories wrapped up, what else can we say about Slider. Well, there is something unusual here. Let's put him next to Matt for a moment.

Let's take his shirt off real quick.

Let's take Matt's shirt off as well.

Alright, now let's put Slider next to our other favorite Cyborg child, Creech.

For a Cyborg child, Slider just looks like an Earth Brat. If you needed to ding him on something, it would be his rectangular eyes. That's not a pre-requisite for Cyborg children, as Creech has oval eyes. However, we don't see any humans with that style of eyes.

I doubt that there is any real push to change Slider's model. I'm not pushing to change Slider's model. Still, this was kind of a strange choice, especially considering that Creech and Slider both arrived in Season 3. Why does Slider look almost human, while Creech gets the antennae and circuit-board-trace treatment that more closely aligns her with the Cyborgs?

Does Slider like to cook? If so, what does he like to cook and how good is he at it?

It's complicated. Slider is both very picky and very busy. Thus cooking for him usually looks like popping a cheese pizza in the oven or making a PB&J. He's a very grab and go kind of guy so he honestly doesn't cook very much, if at all. The only and biggest exception to that is if his friends are coming over or ask him to cook or make something. He's (literally) sweating over the stove trying so so hard to make something nice for the people he loves. It doesn't always turn out right, but he tried and his friends are very understanding, if not a bit humored at the idea of him struggling with cooking.
