Seems to be lots of things shaking at the Power Base, I think remaking it could be a good thing. They had a whole second season written that never got made. Plenty of material to work with.

A second season entailed an anguished Captain Power neglecting his duties as the leader of the team and focusing more on a thirst for revenge on Dread and the slicer who betrayed them, Locke.
Major Hawk would have taken on more of a leadership role with the team in Power's absence. Two characters were to be introduced: Chris "Ranger" O'Connor, a woman who would be Tank's love interest and Private Chip "TNT" Morrow, a soldier who appeared in the first season under the name of Andy Jackson.
The plot also covered the team's quest to find "Eden II," a supposed secret human refuge mentioned in the first season, while setting up a base of operations on a facility that was the prototype of the Power Base.
Lord Dread would have gained a new mechanical form, as actor David Hemblen was not required back (save perhaps for voice work). His new army consisted of 'Hunter-Seeker' troops and a new BioDread warlord called Xenon. Dread would also have a new assistant called Morgana II, a mechanical with the mind of his former lover – who would prove to be Jonathan Power's mother.
OverMind would have taken a larger role in the war and revealed a hidden agenda: after digitizing all the remaining human beings, it would erase them from existence. Wanting to keep this secret from Dread, it would have proved to have given Soaron, in case Dread showed any objection or signs of suspicion, secret programming ordering him to get rid of Lord Dread.
In the recent DVD release, series writer J. Michael Straczynski reveals that the planned end for the series was Lord Dread learning of OverMind's hidden agenda, and Lord Dread teaming with Captain Power to free all of humanity from OverMind.
