Mainframe Studios (formerly Mainframe Entertainment, Rainmaker Animation and Rainmaker Studios) is a Canadian-based animation studio, founded in 1993, which specializes in computer generated animation.

Their first huge success was with their award-winning premiere series ReBoot. They were chosen by Hasbro to be the company to produce their big gamble; the Beast Wars television series. This gamble went on to win an Emmy and became possibly Mainframe's most successful project. This led to more work, not only with the follow-up Beast Machines, but on the War Planets show/commercial and the CGI Spider-Man series for MTV.

Upon firing much of their writing and animation staff, MainFrame began a slow descent in terms of critical acclaim and financial consistency, distracting themselves with direct-to-video Barbie movies, and Scary Godmother. The company was purchased by Rainmaker Entertainment in 2006, and renamed as Rainmaker Animation.

On 25 October 2016, the company announced a triple acquisition and merger of Frederator Networks and Erzin-Hirsh Entertainment to create the holding company, WOW! Unlimited Media, and rebrand a second time to Rainmaker Studios.

On 16 March 2020, the studio announced it would be rebranding as Mainframe Studios and consolidate Rainmaker Studios under the "Mainframe" branding and fully returning the studio to their original "Mainframe" name.
