Commission from @MarmGuild! Their character, Ciara! 

Random concept: victorian or early 1900s. Scientists develop a procedure to remove people’s brains and insert them into machines.  This is intended for people who have suffered grievous bodily injuries, particularly soldiers.

Think a brain in a jar on spindly spider legs, some the size of people, some big heavily armed war machines. Brain jars on balloons like tiny zeppelins with dangling insect legs to grab things.  Retro mad science meets Matrix robots aesthetic. Little bit War of the Worlds.

The problem is everybody who undergoes this procedure turns against humanity.  Nobody knows why. They seem to retain their memories and everything but universally side together to try to forcibly extract everybody else’s brains and put them into more robots. Some people think it’s the sinister effect of the new-fangled “radio” or wireless telegraph wired to their brains.

Now there’s a full-on war of humans vs brainbots as the bots slowly spread, extracting the brains of whole cities of people and putting them into all manner of creepy robot for no obvious reason.
