World Organization of Mega Powers (WOMP), Lieutenant Gadget (promoted
from his previous position of Inspector), now fights crime with a pair
of mechanical assistants called the Gadgetinis, small robot versions
of Gadget who were created by Penny (due to Brain retiring from active
duty) and who are the unintended victims of Gadget's bumbling.The
original creators of Inspector Gadget reunited for this series. Andy
Heyward initiated the concept and was one of the executive producers;
Jean Chalopin created/developed the show and wrote or co-wrote every
episode; while Bruno Bianchi designed the main characters as well as

basically the same plot as the original series, with the clueless

the work and he takes full credit for it, when he had no idea what
happened. Dr. Claw appears less frequently and there are new villains
for the group to contend with. Each episode would be budgeted at
approximately $400,000 per episode. Saban was originally intended to
distribute internationally Gadget & the Gadgetinis. There were also
going to be more Gadgetinis as the show would progress.
