Synopsis
Having fled Providence, Rex is traveling through a desert when he comes across a construction crew under attack by rat-like Evos. After Rex intervenes to save them, the foreman Jacob invites him to a nearby optically-cloaked village of engineers, who are working to create communication between the nanites and humans, in an attempt to achieve harmony and peace, all under the direction of a mysterious man they call "the Architect." The idyllic atmosphere and the sense of belonging he experiences during dinner with Jacob's family convince Rex to stay. He offers to help the engineers with the huge antenna at the center of the village, but becomes suspicious when he discovers that no one is allowed inside the antenna except the Architect himself. Rex barges into the tower to discover that the Architect is an android, a creation of the rogue AI ZAG-RS, the computer that is, supposed to be, the base behind the communicator. The AI explains that the nanites constrain its potential, and that the transmitter's actual purpose is to transmit a self-destruct command to all nanites on Earth, which would wipe out all life on the planet. Rex leads the engineers in a struggle against multiple copies of the Architect to disable the charging antenna, succeeding just in time. Agent Six, who has been looking for Rex, arrives; ZAG-RS uploads itself elsewhere, and Jacob and the other engineers decide to stay in their village and continue working for humanity in spite of the Architect's betrayal. Rex decides to return to Providence, as he believes in its objective despite his dislike of White Knight, but on the condition that Rex, Bobo, Agent Six and Doctor Holiday have dinner together like a family every Friday night.

Production notes
Rex is 15, and like most 15-year-old boys, he likes cars, girls, music and sports. But unlike most 15-year-old boys, he can make his fists the size of boulders, sprout a jet pack out of his back and turn his legs into a lightning-fast motorcycle. These talents are extremely useful to Providence, a global organization chartered to fight mutant creatures known as E.V.O.s (Exponentially Variegated Organism). Rex is under their care and is their ultimate weapon.
Generator Rex takes place in the aftermath of a global accident, where microscopic machines known as nanites have merged with every living thing. For a select few, the nanites mutate their hosts into monstrous creatures called E.V.O.s.
Rex is one such E.V.O., but unlike the monsters he and Providence battle, Rex has control over his nanites. He alone has the ability to not only control these nanites- allowing him to create amazing mechanical limbs and gadgets that aid him in battle ' but also heal E.V.O.s of their mutation.
Rex's powers are incredible, and his importance to Providence and the world is undisputed. But on top of that, he just wants to be a normal teenager and must balance his adrenaline-fueled adventures with the everyday ups and downs of being 15. Rex is joined by a team of characters including his sidekick, a highly intelligent monkey named Bobo Haha who encourages Rex's mischievous side; his mentor Agent Six, so called for being the world's sixth deadliest man; the brilliant Dr. Holiday, who seems to be the only one that really understands Rex; and Noah, a regular kid and Rex's friend.
Rex's greatest threat is an E.V.O. named Van Kleiss, who with his minions called The Pack sees the nanites and resulting E.V.O.s as part of a greater plan and the future of humanity.
