My Life as a Teenage Robot: Reign of Terror

My Life as a Teenage Robot: Reign of Terror (formerly The Cluster Crisis) is a work-in-progress 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.

The series follows the story of Jenny "XJ-9" Wakeman more than a year after the events of Escape From Cluster Prime, as she returns to Cluster Prime to find the planet is in chaos; since Queen Vega's discovery and release of the Cluster's golden power chips, its citizens have used them to create widespread societal collapse. Above all else, however, the most imminent threat to Vega's reign is that of the Cluster Revolutionary Army (CRA), a massive paramilitary organization now holding de facto control over much of Cluster Prime. In response, Jenny must work together with Vega and her allies to neutralize the CRA, and put her back in stable control of the Cluster's politics. Along the way, as the two dig deeper into the technicalities of the war, they uncover truths about the CRA's leadership, their motives, and even the very history of Cluster Prime itself.

MLAATR: Reign of Terror was initially created in early 2017 as an original story concept by Travis "Wedge" Hawkins, a self-proclaimed "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." Currently, Hawkins is the only official writer of Reign of Terror, with contributions by Victor Lane.
