#a.d.a.m.

Very yellow, I know, but lemme use this rushed drawing to do go on about the AU in more detail

So the timeline branches off from Bot finding out that they're a robot the night after Best Served Cold and in an effort to find something to cover their head for the next challenge, they find this weird new sailboat at the edge of the shore. Upon investigating, they come across two other robots who say they're so happy to meet them, and out of desperation and fear from this new discovery, they just beg to get out of here so the contestants won't have to see them like this

Once they take off, A.D.A.M. asks what happened and why they seem so scared, letting them explain everything while B.R.I.A.N. pilots the ship. When they get to Meeple, that's when they meet the main man himself, who decides to spoil the surprise about the purpose Test Tube created them for. They were nothing more than just a replacement to them. Bot's stuck with those feelings of shock and anger as the two bots showed them around, barely paying attention to their surroundings

After a while of being up in Meeple, Bot asks if Cobs could modificate them. They didn't want to be this replacement of someone who's been dead for years. Cobs obliged, even adding on that he wondered when they would ask. Due to the process and adding some new features to Bot, they woke up around the time Truth or Flare was happening. They were unsure about the new look, saying that yellow wasn't a color they expected to be. Cobs reassured them they looked great, after all it had been years since the last yellow Meeple product, why not try the color again? That's when it all went downhill

It was happening again. They thought they found something that understood the fact they didn't want to be someone else, they didn't want an identity that THEY have no choice in, but they fell under into his hands. They felt their fist clench since Cobs referred to him as "MeBot" That was it. They grasped into their new abilities within an instant, launching Cobs across the room with an extended kick as well as a wave of energy emitting from them that took over the nearby Meeple tech. The helper bots and a few MeTags. They were no longer his

They seized their control back against him, exiling him from his own building. They felt relieved that he was gone. They congratulated the bots and MeTags for their help, but they didn't respond. They just stared back with glowing pale yellow eyes. Bot may have taken the first step to reclaim themself, but they might've stripped the other robots who were here before them of THEIR'S. They didn't know how to undo it as much as they tried

Reformed killer robot with black-white-and-yellow color scheme...

Falls in love with a fellow AI who's associated with purple and green...

Plus these two are basically the same thing in different fonts...

And an evil manipulative sentient computer program who kills their "sibling(s)" and takes over the body of someone close to one of the protagonists...

Do you get it
