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 a work-in-progress science fantasy fanfiction project. It is a fan-made 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 Jenny Wakeman (XJ-9) as she attempts to help her friend, Vega, adjust to her new position as Queen of Cluster Prime.

Along the way, they encounter Antaurus, an emerging vigilante who warns of an impending crisis that could plunge Cluster Prime into civil war. However, Antaurus is far more than he's made out to be, and may be playing an inexperienced Vega to further his own agenda.

In trying to find a way to prevent a crisis, Jenny and Vega uncover important truths regarding each other, Antaurus, and even the very history of the Cluster itself. Putting the pieces of the puzzle together could mean life or death for everyone involved.

Background
MLAATR: In Harm's Way was initially conceived as an original story idea in late 2016 by Travis Lance "Wedge" Hawkins, an "offspring writer" of such franchises as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Steins Gate. Hawkins describes his aim for the fic as being an eclectic fusion of MLAATR's universe with the former three's character-driven storytelling and "dramedic" overtones, as well as influences from the film genres of mystery and neo-noir. On this topic, he cites 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 worked with a co-writer and storyboard artist, Victor Lane, as well as a contributing writer, Mark Fairchild. 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.
