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 work. It is a continuation of 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. Searching for a mentor with whom he can improve his skills as a scientist, Sheldon seeks out the help of Nora Wakeman's former competitor: Dr. Myles Blackburn, a fellow robotics scientist who traveled to Cluster Prime two years prior to conduct his own field experiments.

Though Dr. Blackburn and his daughter, Tara, wholly accept Jenny and Sheldon's company, the latter two come to find that Cluster Prime has descended into violent anarchy since Jenny's visit, and are forced to perform a precarious balancing act: bring Myles and Tara back to safety on Earth, and simultaneously work with Vega to end the mass unrest led by the militant Cluster Reunification Army (CRA). Along the way, the four uncover dark truths about each other, the CRA's leadership, and even the very history of Cluster Prime itself.

Background
MLAATR: In Harm's Way was initially created in late 2016 as an original story concept by Travis "Wedge" Hawkins, a self-styled "writer's 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 "dramedic" overtones, citing the plot's premise as being the basis of "a much 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 a co-writer and storyboard artist, Victor Lane, as well as a contributing writer, Mark Billingsley. He has since amicably ended his collaboration with the two due to large creative differences, as well as Lane's commitments to an unrelated project.
