In this second season, Hacker continues to run rampad, causing more chaos, and thus the cybersquad returns to almost every cybersite. We also see more of the Wicked Witch. From this season on, Motherboard is more three-dimensional. Characters Sam Vander Rom (Al Roker
) and Erica Ram (Carla Collins
) are introduced
The cybersquad is at it again, and meets even more new allies like Fluff the Penguin (Austin Dilulio) (but still working with the old ones very closely). However, situations become more complicated now that Hacker is no longer the only villain attempting to rule Cyberspace
! Now the Wicked Witch has been planning schemes of her own. On top of that, Hacker is now travelling all over Cyberspace
to achieve missing pieces - and the cybersquad soon learns that this may tie in with the disappearance of Slider's Dad.
At long last, Slider's Dad comes home. However, simply because many of the parts used on the transformatron before disappear doesn't mean Hacker has given up on it, so now the cybersquad will find themselves building, fixing, and inventing devices to stop Hacker from taking over. With the transformatron still on the loose, meanwhile, Digit and the kids must dispose of the NIC card, the only power source to Hacker's machine. New villains Olga (Annika Walter
) and the Trashinator (Phill Collins)
Note: This is the last season that is animated by Nelvana. The rest of the series uses Flash animation by Title Entertainment.
Finally the NIC card had been disposed of, which means that there are no more episodes involving the transformatron.
Unfortunately, Hacker hopes to expand his group of evil doers, now including Baskerville, Trashinator, and a gorilla named Kong.
With new allies for Hacker, the Cybersquad once again attempts to stop him.
Meanwhile, love chaos ensues between Hacker and Wicked when Hacker starts to want Wicked back, but the Wicked Witch could want nothing more than to spit on him.
, but the Cybersquad shall continue to stop Hacker - even if it means dealing with terrible weather and using math knowledge to combat it.
. With a rejected ally of Hacker named Ledge (Alex Karzis
) on the loose, things may not be as easy anymore.

Summoned by Motherboard, the kids and Digit arrive with the knowledge that Hacker has taken Marbles to a castle, but which one? | Using Data - Data is a lot more than a collection of numbers. When you gather it, organize and analyze it, you can discover useful information hidden in the numbers. |
103 | R-Fair City | January 23, 2002 | Hacker lures Digit to R-Fair City and holds him captive. When the kids arrive, they analyze the games of chance, figuring out which games are fair and which ones are not. | Probability and Chance - Even though you can't tell when you are going to win in a game of chance, you can still predict your chances of winning and tell if the game is fair or not. |
104 | Snow Day to Be Exact | January 24, 2002 | Hacker steals the Sunisphere from Solaria, causing it to be covered in snow. | Estimation - Sometimes using a close answer is good enough for the problem you are solving. |

The cybersite is known to use trading as its currency. With both of their ships destroyed, the Cybersquad must trade items to get parts to fix their ship and get to Dr. Marbles. | Monetary Systems - Instead of trading what you have for what you want, you can make it easier to buy and sell by creating a system of money where you exchange goods for tokens of different fixed values. |
121 | Less Than Zero | July 3, 2002 | During an important meeting with all the Cybersites' leaders at The Cyber Grand Tower, Hacker appears and threatens to freeze every cybersite with his Freezerator if they don't surrender to him. Using their knowledge of number lines, the Cybersquad is sent to rescue the Cybersites' leaders and stop Hacker. | Negative Numbers - Numbers don’t have to stop at zero! Negative numbers — numbers that are less than zero — can extend the range of what you can measure on a scale and give you the ability to compare numbers using direction as well as amount. |
122 | Model Behavior | July 4, 2002 | Hacker uses an inside man to make sure the celebration in Happily Ever After continues.
