Generator Rex

Rex Salazar seems like an ordinary high school kid, but a crisis changes everything. He discovers he can morph his body into living machines, turning to metal limbs, weapons, and tools on the fly. Drawn into Providence, a secret organization tasked with containing a nanite driven invasion, Rex uses his powers to stop the spread of these nanites and the creatures they create, the EVOs. Each transformation comes with new gadgets and tactics, letting him improvise in the heat of battle. Along the way, he learns to balance everyday adolescence with a growing sense of responsibility, teamwork, and the dangers of unchecked power. The show blends kinetic action with humor and character moments.
