My Life as a Teenage Robot: In Harm's Way

My Life as a Teenage Robot: In Harm's Way (formerly The Cluster Crisis and Reign of Terror) is an upcoming science fantasy animated fanfiction. It is a follow-up to the Nickelodeon original cartoon My Life as a Teenage Robot, and particularly, its 2005 special Escape From Cluster Prime.

Synopsis
The story is set just over a year after the events of Escape from Cluster Prime, following both Jenny "XJ-9" Wakeman and her inventor friend, Sheldon Lee. Sheldon is seeking out a mentor to hone his skills as a scientist with, but his best choice is an unlikely person in an unlikely place: Dr. Myles Wakeman, Nora's husband, who resides in the outlands of Cluster Prime.

Eager to meet her "father", and more than willing to help her friend, Jenny opts to escort Sheldon to Cluster Prime. In doing so, however, Jenny returns to the planet to find that it has fallen into disarray since she overthrew Vexus...

Since Vega's ascension to the monarchy, protests against the new Queen's reign have resulted in a widespread state of anarchy around the world. The ensuing chaos has since caused the rise of the Cluster Reactionary Army (CRA), a massive paramilitary organization that has been taking over all of Cluster Prime for itself, putting Vega's reign into even stronger doubt.

Choosing to put the goal of ending the CRA's "reunification" at the top of their collective list of priorities, Myles and his assistant, Tara Blackburn, join forces with Jenny, Vega, and Sheldon to oppose the army in any way they can. While Sheldon learns what he can from the revered doctor amidst the trouble, the rest of the team uncovers truths about the CRA's leadership, their motives, and even the very history of Cluster Prime itself.

Background
MLAATR: In Harm's Way was initially created in early 2017 as an original story concept by Travis "Wedge" Hawkins, a self-styled "acolyte" of such franchises as The Legend of Korra and Fullmetal Alchemist. Hawkins describes his aim for the fic as being a fusion of MLAATR's universe with the former two's character-driven storytelling and darker tones, citing the plot's premise as being the basis of "a more serious, in-depth take on MLAATR."

As of its October 2017 revision into In Harm's Way, Hawkins is the fic's only official writer. Previously, Hawkins has worked with co-creator Victor Lane, as well as a contributor, Mark Billingsley. He has since ended his collaboration with the two due to large creative differences, as well as Lane's commitments to an unrelated project.
