#murder bots

It's just a pilot but it's good and has a campiness to it that I love.

So I haaaaaad to make a version of my main boy into the universe. This may change if there are more episodes later with more lore.

I don't know why this is the resting pose of Edwin but it is. This version of Edwin is called Edwin but may go by Ed as well.

He is a modified Murder bot made by an underground group of humans from earth that are robot sympathizers. They believe that They shouldn't interfere with that they have made as long as they are peaceful.

After hearing of the disassembly drone being sent to kill the worker bots for being "Corrupted". The group of scientists got together to develop a bot to hunt down the dangerous murder bots. The leader making Ed in a design that his deceased teen son(death by cancer) had drawn up in a comic. It was the only indulgence that the leader wanted so they obliged as a way of honoring the kid's memory. So they hijacked and stole an unfinished Disassembly drone and got to work rebuilding it into a what they believed would be the ultimate weapon against the drones.

The outer metal was melted down aand remade with a special metal that withstands high heat and corrosion. The bot mostly uses energy based weaponry. Think like Uzi's railgun, light saber-like claws and lazers in replace of normal weaponry. The thing about that is to recharge, he must seak out the acid in Disassembly drones to fuel himself.

Unfortunately the team was infiltrated by an Anti-robot group that thinks robots are too dangerous to humans to keep around. One of their own researchers slipped in during the programming process to add some buzz words that cause him to flip out and kill any robot in the area till his quota kill is filled. Like a sleeper agent.

Phrases like:

"Kill all humans."

"Destroy humanity."

"Kill these bots"

And anything with that similar order of words sets him off. The words "OFF" flash on his screen in red as he snaps. He remembers the events.

There are two ways to stop this. Trap him till an internal timer returns back to normal. Or put him somewhere cold. His energy and body runs best with heat but cooling him off slows him down and he can regain control...but his weapons are not as strong when cold.

Upon learning this after completion, the group set to terminate him for the safety of bots and humans but the Leader had already grown an attachment to Ed despite not activating him. Ed reminded him too much of his son and his son's dreams found in the old comics. So the leader sent Edwin away in a one way escape pod with a necklace that contains a holographic video from the leader with a loose explanation of what his is, what he has to deal with and a warning to never return to earth.

Ed has since been following his orders to some extent but focusing on what and who he is. He is a mystery to himself.

He stays away from other bots in fear of what he might do. He does fill his orders by killing any disassembly bot being hostile to a worker. He is very solitary though and doesn't stick around for a Thank you. He protects the necklace around as it is the only clue to him of who he is and what he was built for.

Yes, his face is like that all the time. Always has a brow and a half open eye. He does emote, just differently. His fangs are actually filled with the liquid stolen from Dissadembly drones. Drones of all types are often met with confusion when they meet him. Those Dissadembly drones that survive call him a walking virus.
