WMG/Murder Drones

[[WMG:This is a bad future of *WebAnimation/Template:Meta Runner*.]]

```
In the Meta Runner world alone, Silica City clearly must be using up more than twice what'd you see in fictional Tokyo, and it's implied every city in the world is like that. That must burn up a lot of fuel. Perhaps global warming sped up a bit and thus what Uzi describes as the humans destroying themselves was actually a failed trial for alternative energy. The robots in Meta Runner already seem more than sentient, so them stepping up doesn't seem too far fetched. The facility workers we see when Uzi describes the end look very reminiscent of Lucks's henchmen. The facility they work in also resembles a nuclear power plant. Perhaps they were researching enhanced nuclear energy, and accidentally unleashed the equivalent of an ultra nuke. That would certainly fit the "big explosion" Uzi describes. An ultra nuke's radiation would also provide a reason for why it only hit what looked to be about a few countries, yet somehow killed all life on Earth.

```

```
* Seems unlikely, especially considering that the show is actually created by Liam Vickers. Glitch Productions is mainly just doing the animation.

```

```
* The show isn’t even set on Earth… for now.

```

WMG:This show is going to be running on AnyoneCanDie.

```
Due to it being a BloodierAndGorier horror-comedy focusing on robots AfterTheEnd of humanity, a lot of DevelopingDoomedCharacters will probably be in place. While it will still be funny since its a Glitch show, odds are we shouldn't get too attached to the Worker Drones and quite possibly even the AntagonistTitle Murder Drones themselves. Let's just hope the show doesn't get into TooBleakStoppedCaring levels.

```

```
* The last scenes in the official trailer seem to imply that it's going to happen.

```

```
** Considering that N's HUD identifies Uzi as having PlotArmor, most likely jossed.

```

WMG:Serial Designation N will turn out to be EvilAllAlong or will pull a FaceHeelTurn

```
It at least seems to be implied in the official trailer, but it could make sense considering that N seems to seek recognition from his peers.

```

```
* Uhh… well kinda jossed, kinda confirmed. He didn't kill Uzi after he revived himself because his optics were damaged and he thought she was a new recruit, but decides to have a HeelFaceTurn later on when he realizes that, yes, Murder Drones are considered expendable by humans.

```

WMG:A major series event that could occur could be N ending up disabled or otherwise losing access to his combat abilities.

It seems likely that the Murder Drones were built with a number of different killswitches and system locks just in case one of them went rogue.

One arc could involve some of N's triggering, effectively putting him out of commission while everyone else has to figure out how to fix him.

WMG:The red light on Serial Designation N's "headband" indicates some kind of error

```
For whatever reason, N decides not to kill Uzi after he regenerates his head, and it's at that point he gains the red light, so maybe he regenerated wrong, and has a red light to indicate that.

```

```
* Confirmed. He thought Uzi was a new recruit, but when the others rebooted his optics, he realized his mistake.

```

WMG: Disassembly drones are converted from Worker Drones using nanotechnology

```
* This might explain why Disassembly and Worker drones look similar. Of course, none of the drones are ever told this. Uzi unwittingly started the process at some point during the pilot, hence why she shows characteristics of one near the end - namely the fangs and her eyes briefly flashing yellow. The EMP fired by J may have accidentally messed up the programming, hence why Uzi goes KillAllHumans at the end.

```

```
* Alternatively, they were created using similar technology but aren't one-to-one. This causes Uzi's potential conversion to have complications with things like increased aggression to the point of psychopathy and the risk of turning into a mindless killing machine.

```

```
** Them being made using similar technology is confirmed; since they were both made by the same company, it makes sense that they share a base model.

```

WMG:The Disassembly Drones are basically vampires, and any trait vampires have, the Disassembly Drones will have too

```
Things about disassembly drones that are also things vampires have:

```

```
* Blood/Oil sucking

```

```
* Death by sunlight

```

```
* Creepy crawling on ceilings

```

```
* Difficulty passing through doors

```

Things vampires have that the disassembly drones might also have:

```
* Converting normal drones into disassembly drones

```

```
** Maybe confirmed? Uzi seems to be at the start of turning into one at the end of the pilot.

```

```
* Aversion to crosses and garlic

```

```
!!The series will have an HourglassPlot mixed with RogueProtagonist.

```

```
The first half as N and Uzi trying to survive the murder drones but also get them to recognize the value of the worker drone's lives. The second half/last episodes has Uzi going villainous (and possibly turning into something similar to a murder drone) due to her desire to destroy humanity while N and the murder drones they did convince trying to stop her due to taking the lesson to heart ALessonLearnedTooWell and coming to value human life as well.

```

[[WMG:The head of JC Jenson will be a pastiche of VideoGame/DeusEx Bob Page.]]

```
The company's already named after the *Deus Ex* protagonists, why not base its leader off a *Deus Ex* antagonist?

```

WMG:Uzi will end up developing a SuperPoweredEvilSide due to her transformation into a Disassembly Drone.

```
I doubt that if the company actually programmed something like this into their Drones, they wouldn't have a failsafe to keep those new transformed Drones from going rogue. This will manifest as a SplitPersonality called Serial Designation U, resulting in Uzi having to find a way to deal with her increasing murderousness... before its too late.

```

WMG:The "Absolute Solver" string may be playing a major part in how Disassembly drones work.

```
* When N reboots after J punches him in the head, if you pause the video, you'll notice that the log says "STRING "ABSOLUTE SOLVER" BLOCKED BY ADMINISTRATION "CYN"" Later on in the pilot, when Uzi declares her intention to KillAllHumans, her eyes flash yellow, with one of them turning into a warning message reading "absoluteSolver.string = FALSE", which quickly changes to "absoluteSolver.string = TRUE".

```

WMG:N doesn't actually know about Uzi's goal to KillAllHumans.

```
He was out of ear shot when she made her declaration and it seems to have been something she decided on right then and there. This will lead into conflict when he does find out.

```

WMG:Uzi is somehow part murder drone.

```
She laughs maniacally just like V at the end of the pilot. Her eyes also become rings just like V's did earlier when she was being psychotic. The timing also fits. V's eyes become rings when she thinks about killing worker drones. Uzi's eyes became rings when she thought about killing humans.

```

```
* Ring shaped eyes doesn't necessarily mean they're about to murder. All of the robots have ring shaped eyes whenever they're under stress or any other powerful negative emotion.

```

```
** A rather more compelling case for Uzi "being part murder drone" (or more likely being in the process of turning since the Diassembly Drones are basically vampires) are her eyes flashing yellow (like the murder drones) with text like "Corrupted" flashing across her display.

```

[[WMG:A future Disassembly Drone will be based on Template:Dracula.]]

```
Given the Disassembly Drones' vampire theming, it would seem right for a Drone based on ol' Drac to show up, quite possibly as the final or penultimate opponent of the series.

```

```
* Said drone could be the prototype that Disassembly Drones are based on.

```

```
** Serial Designation A, for Template:Alucard

```

WMG:The worker drones have been sentient for two generations

```
Most of the adult worker drones still look like the worker drones before the humans were wiped out. Blue eyes with something that looks like a hardhat. It looks like their children have begun to diversify their appearances a little more.

```

WMG:At some point, we’ll see a deactivated Murder Drone in a “coffin”.

```
* They’re basically OurVampiresAreDifferent robot vampires: I can imagine one being stored, deactivated, in a coffin-like device as a ShoutOut.

```

WMG:N will be reluctant to enter JC Jensen headquarters without permission.

```
* Vampires need to be invited in, after all…

```

[[WMG:Uzi's mom was becoming a murder drone when she was given a MercyKill Mercy Kill.]]

```
* Assuming that murder drones are like vampires. For all we know, her death was related to an injury from a murder drone.

```

```
** According to Khan, she was infected with Nanite Acid from a tail sting.

```

WMG:The company intentionally gave Disassembly Drones the ability to convert other drones into them.

```
Considering how much Disassembly Drones resemble vampires, it would make sense that 'infecting' other drones was an intentional featured designed into them. Since vampires usually infect through biting or feeding others their blood, the initial infection of Uzi could have been when N used his salvia to repair her when he thought she was an Disassembly Drone. The reason for giving them the ability to infect other drones is to save the company the costs of having to replace destroyed Disassembly Drones (Uzi's apparent transformation could've even been triggered by the death of J, since that would mean the squad is down one member).

```

```
WMG: Murder Drones need to be killed by injury to the chest like vampires need to be staked in the heart.

```

```
We see that despite losing his head, N is able to regenerate and is fully functional again, even if he CameBackWrong for a while. However, when Uzi destroyed J’s torso, she didn't regenerate.

```

WMG:Disassembly Required will play in the finale when N and Uzi fight whoever their final target is.

```
It seems weird that the theme was composed when it has almost no usage, and Glitch shows are notorious for having big action themes during the big battles with the villain at the end.

```

WMG:The Disassembly Drones' saliva can still revive robots seemingly beyond repair.

```
We've seen N regenerate his entire head and he kept (most) of his memories. Maybe the reason J didn't regenerate was because all of her saliva was vaporized by Uzi's railgun, but if she did have enough saliva spilled on her, would she come back? Maybe it could even be a plot point when a Murder Drone accidentally over-drools on the spire of corpses.

```

WMG:The Disassembly Drones are made from humans.

```
[In this Reddit QNA], WordOfGod gives hints about a plot point being what the Murder Drones can and can't do and that "When we start looking under the hood, we may not like what we finnndddd . . ." This makes me think that it will be revealed that the Murder Drones have organic components in their torsos that came from unwilling humans, either low-level employees as part of some kind of contract or from customers who are in debt to the company. Either way, this will result in Uzi reevaluating her plan of destroying humankind and instead focus on taking down [=JCJenson=] due to it being a threat to both species.

```

WMG:N will die in the finale.

```
It's been stated that disassembly drones must drink worker drone oil to survive, or they'll overheat. N is loyal to Uzi, so it's unlikely he'll suck her oil, and they're heading off the only planet with worker drones, therefore N has no source of oil. Towards the finale, he'll probably start suffering the effects of overheating, and will die in the finale due to this. His death will end up either causing Uzi to finally snap and go on a human-killing rampage, or she'll make it to him right after she's defeated whoever leads [=JCJenson=], with him passing away then.

```

WMG:The Disassembly Drones are named after firearms.

```
All the Disassembly Drones are only named by a singular letter, with N, J, and V. But honestly, considering how deadly they are, it wouldn't surprise me if they have actual names and are named after real-life firearms, much like how Uzi is named after the sub-machine gun. Such as...

```

```
* Serial Designation N: Nimrod, an anti-tank gun used in WWII.

```

```
* Serial Designation J: Jarmann, a Norwegian bolt-action rifle.

```

```
* Serial Designation V: Vulcan, after the minigun, though considering V's more feminine in appearance and "Vulcan" is usually a male name, it would probably be something like Vulcana.

```

```
So if we meet any other Disassembly Drones, they'd probably have real names derived from IRL weaponry too, like "Serial Designation G" for Gatling or Garand, or "Serial Designation S" for Skar. On top of that, this could play into another theory that Uzi was *meant* to become a Disassembly Drone at some point before the events of the show, considering her penchant for firearms and that little "glitch out" that she had at the end of the pilot.

```

WMG:Uzi will at some point have second thoughts about her goal to kill all humans.

```
She will witness the good and the bad sides of humanity and see that the humans are doing what they do out of desperation to preserve their species. She'll see people dying of severe illness, mourning loved ones that perished under their extreme circumstances, dragging themselves through the wringer and braving extreme circumstances just to get basic necessities to stay alive. Perhaps at some point she ends up taking a human child under her wing out of pity when she sees how much they're struggling and ends up playing a cool big sis/parental substitute role for them. Ultimately, it is discovered that her true enemy is not humanity as a whole, but the company that created the murder drones, who are hoarding resources and lying to the public about it. In the end, she ends up leading a rebellion consisting of workers, disassembly drones and humans to bring them down once and for all. After a series of death, violence and pain, it all ends with all three species coming together and finding a new, more hospitable planet to live on.

```

```
WMG:Uzi will NOT get an upgrade into a Disassembly Drone, but will act like one.

```

```
She's a Worker Drone. It stands to say while her software can be altered or corrupted in a snap or as a glitch, there's no way for her to suddenly develop machinery she wouldn't have unless given beforehand. If her experience with N do end up turning her into one, it'll purely affect her personality.

```

* The Murder Drones are shown to have regenerative capability. What if, in the case of an infectee, this power is used to generate the extra parts?

```
WMG:N will receive a name after a while, as symbolism of forgoing his original purpose as a Disassembly Drone.

```

```
In the same vein, he could start nicknaming Uzi "U" (she could point out it sounds no different than addressing her by "you").

```

```
WMG:Uzi will become the final villain.

```

```
WMG:J isn’t "dead".

```

```
We don’t yet know the limits to exactly how much a Disassembly drone can regenerate, and even if she can’t regenerate, it’s also possible she could be rebuilt or brought back in a new body, should it be revealed the company has spares for each Drone(which going by the idea each Drone is named after a letter, would mean there are 26 Murder Drones in total, which could necessitate spares.) If she does come back, she could either continue being an antagonist, or maybe become an eventual ally if she ends up finding out N was right about the company’s stance on robots and decides helping him and Uzi is the better option than continuing to serve them.

```

```
WMG:Related to the above, J will be revealed to have been brought back to life by Uzi's saliva.

```

```
* This also ties into the AndThenJohnWasAZombie "Uzi is turning into a Murder Drone" theory.

```

* As Uzi's transformation silently takes place during the pilot, she kills J and spits on her corpse. Note that Murder Drone saliva is HealingFactor regenerative and that Uzi might be becoming one. This would lead to J regenerating (though possibly CameBackWrong coming out of it even more AxCrazy) and seeking revenge on Uzi. This may lead to J becoming the final villain of Season 1, or have her HeelFaceTurn redeemed somehow.

```
WMG:The season/series finale will include a brand new type of Disassembly Drone.

```

```
* Uzi and N's actions will result in a new generation Disassembly Drone more dangerous than the current models being sent after them.

```

```
WMG:V will join Uzi and N's team, leaving N as the TokenGoodTeammate

```

```
V will team up with them, but she's only in it for the "oilshed."

```

## ```

```

```
WMG: It Will flop

```

```
*Unlike SMG4,Meta Runner,and Sunset Paradise, which have been praised as Glitch's best Series, Murder Drones has been received by by Controversial fans refer it as an cringe, annoying jokes and had pragmatic plot as Attack On Titans.

```

WMG:It will only have one Season

```
*Given how fans despite it, it's most likely to have only one season just like Cliffside did, another series made by Liam Vickers,whom is exposed as Racist.

```

```
*Seemingly Confirmed,Thank God.
