Plot details
The plot, heavily inspired by such movies as Blade Runner, Metropolis and Terminator, centers on events in the Electrocorp factory in the fictional city of Metropolis 4, set in an unspecified time in the future.
When demands placed on Electrocorp as the world’s leading manufacturer and developer of advanced robotics outstrip the company’s ability to run its massive Metropolis 4 plant efficiently, research & development devise a project to create the perfect multi-task, ultra-intelligent robot. A self-aware gynoid, dubbed The Supervisor, capable of managing every aspect of the plant’s day-to-day operations is born.
However events quickly escalate as the Leader Project goes awry and the Supervisor takes control of Electrocorp's facilities. Infected by a strain of the EGO virus, mutiny breaks out amongst the droids of the plant, effectively leaving the Supervisor in command of their actions. As a containment measure, operations at the factory are shut down under the guise of technical modification, and, the ECO35-2 cyborg is sent in to neutralize the insurgent robots and crush the imminent outbreak into Metropolis 4.
Characters
The Electrocorp’s plant at Metropolis 4 is alive with all manner of robotics, many of which were worker drones with simplistic CPUs until the Supervisor reprogrammed them with self-awareness and infected them with the EGO virus.
ECO35-2: The protagonist of the video game, the ECO35-2 named "Coton", is a fully functional bipedal cyborg that mirrors human form. The player takes control of this character to finish single player mode, with only his bare fists to face off against his enemies.;
Loader: A simple and durable worker droid, the Loader droid is the first enemy the player encounters. Before the riot at Electrocorp, Loader droids were employed in large quantities to lift and transport parts and equipment around the factory. Its primary weapons are two gigantic fork-arms.;
Builder: The gorilla-like Builder droid was developed as the natural successor of the Loader type. It is a more versatile robot designed to perform heavy assembly tasks. Although weak on its legs, the Builder droid is more than up to combat situations with its large powerful arms.;
Crusher: Simply put, the Crusher droid was designed as a robot killer, programmed to immobilize and destroy dangerously malfunction production droids. It is noted for its green, isect-like appearance.;
Military: As its name suggests, the Military droid, also dubbed "Exterminator", is specifically designed for warfare purposes. In appearance it very much resembles a skeletal form of the ECO35-2 himself.;
Sentry: Another combat-specific droid, the bright red Sentry stands an intimidating 3.5 meters tall and represents the next generation in security droids. Although large, it is made of lightweight metal and equipped with a jet-pack for fast manoeuvres.;
The Supervisor: A complete departure from conventional robotics, the Supervisor represents the dawn of a new era in metallurgy, artificial intelligence, and robotic engineering. The Supervisor was the first droid designed to replace humans in management rather than production positions, made self-aware, and given a neural learning CPU, giving it the ability to adapt and think on its own. The Supervisor relies on electrical flux physics and the liquid properties of polymetamorphic titanium alloy. By adjusting the flow of the electrical charge, this alloy can reshape and mold itself into any form.;
