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, and follows Jenny "XJ-9" Wakeman, who has been given by her mother one simple, but important, task: rescue her "father", former Skyway Patrol scientist Milos Wakeman, who has been residing in secret on Cluster Prime, and bring him back home.

In doing so, she returns to the planet to find that it has fallen to pieces since Vega's ascension to the throne, with protests against her reign having resulted in a state of anarchy. The ensuing chaos has since caused the genesis of the Cluster Reactionary Army (CRA), a massive paramilitary organization that has slowly been taking over all of Cluster Prime, putting Vega's reign into even stronger doubt.

Between rescuing her father and helping her friend, Jenny decides to work together with Vega, Dr. Wakeman, and the latter's assistant, Tara Blackburn, to end the CRA's "reunification" campaign and put Vega back in stable control of Cluster politics. Along the way, as the team digs deeper into the technicalities of the conflict, they uncover 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.
