My Life as a Teenage Robot: The Cluster Crisis

My Life as a Teenage Robot: The Cluster Crisis is a work-in-progress science fantasy animated series. It is a sequel series to the Nickelodeon original cartoon My Life as a Teenage Robot.

The series follows the story of Jenny "XJ-9" Wakeman more than a year after the events of the 2005 special "Escape From Cluster Prime", as she returns to Cluster Prime to find the planet is in chaos; two separate groups, namely the Cluster Revolutionary Army (CRA), In response, Jenny must work together with the Cluster's queen, Vega, to end the conflict, and put the latter 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 leaders, their motives, and even the very history of Cluster Prime itself.

MLAATR: The Cluster Crisis was initially conceived in early 2017 as an original story concept by amateur screenwriter Travis Lance Hawkins, who currently develops the story with contributing writers Mark Billingsley and Victor Lane. Though it currently only exists in script form, the series is a significant departure from the original through the eclectic storytelling approach of Hawkins, who describes the project as "a more serious, in-depth take on MLAATR." This narrative style features a continuous, character-driven story arc, a keen observation of media conventions, and influences from a wide variety of film and television genres.
