History WebAnimation / MurderDrones

Not the type to sit still and cower, one angsty teenage Worker Drone named Uzi (Creator/ElsieLovelock) opts to take the fight straight to the Murder Drones themselves. But when she meets the happy-go-lucky yet dim Murder Drone "N" (Creator/MichaelKovach), they find they're both just as disposable to their corporate overlords, and begin plotting a way off Copper 9 to get back at humanity on Earth. This plan gets derailed, though, when strange and often deadly things start to happen not just to the drones, but to Uzi herself. As the mysteries and bodies start to pile up, Uzi sets out with N and his psychotic, bloodthirsty co-worker V (Nola Klop) to decrypt the answers about the Murder Drones' true nature, and if there's something more they're after on Copper 9...

** Uzi imposes an exile on herself at the end of "Pilot", setting out to kill all humans in revenge. "Heartbeat" shows that her exile is not taken seriously at all and she openly returns to Outpost 3. Her human genocide, however, is shoved into the background [[spoiler:in favor of investigating the Absolute Solver and what exactly [=JCJenson=] was really doing on the planet. Not to mention, there are no working ships for her to use anyway. "Dead End" eventually revealed that Earth was supposedly already destroyed by the Absolute Solver by the time of the present and heavily implied that Tessa may be one of the only survivors of its destruction, more or less making Uzi’s original plan AllForNothing]]. It is implied however there is at least [[LastBastion one last planet]] inhabited by humans via the badge on Tessa’s shoulder having all but one dots crossed out. So Uzi’s goal could still be renewed should Tessa do something to piss her off…

* AfterTheEnd: The series takes place on the snowy exoplanet Copper 9, where a core collapse reduced the whole world to a wasteland littered with frozen human skeletons, leaving its robotic labor drones to form their own society, with the Disassembly Drones trying to wipe them out. [[spoiler: "Dead End" takes it even further with the reveal that Earth has supposedly been destroyed by the Absolute Solver by the present and Alice heavily implying that Copper 9's destruction may have been intentionally caused by Uzi's mother Nori.]]

* AntagonistTitle: The Murder Drones are {{Killer Robot}}s who are sent to kill the friendly Worker Drone protagonists. [[spoiler: Ultimately [[SubvertedTrope subverted]]: following N's HeelFaceTurn and V's capture in the pilot, Disassembly Drones have not served as antagonists in any of the subsequent episodes.]]
* AnyoneCanDie: Several properly developed characters end up dying later on in future episodes, including Uzi’s classmates, James, Louisa, and [[spoiler:V]].

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: What the Absolute Solver turns J into in "Heartbeat". Also seen when N is taken apart by Beau and Uzi gets her finger cut off in episode Six.]]

* BolivianArmyCliffhanger: Episode 6 concludes with [[spoiler: V making a last stand against the anti-drone sentinels, cutting to credits just before the final blow is struck.]]

** After getting his head decimated by Uzi, N simply regenerates his head, but his optics are damaged and he doesn't recognize Uzi as a Worker Drone. He gets fixed later and realizes his mistake, but he pulls a HeelFaceTurn anyway (or a HazyFeelTurn since Uzi wants to end humanity). [[spoiler: The Absolute Solver also brings J back as a horrific mishmash of flesh and steel.]]
** The fifth episode begins by explaining that if a worker drone isn't properly disassembled, then its AI will eventually reboot on its own after some time and become a "Zombie Drone" in the process. [[spoiler: This is how Cyn came back to life before being found by Tessa and later slaughtering all of the other humans at her parents Gala as revenge for being mistreated.]]

* EarthShatteringKaboom: An exoplanetary core collapse eradicates all biological life on it, kicking off the plot. [[spoiler: "Dead End" reveals that Earth itself was supposedly destroyed by the Absolute Solver and its remains are shown to be in pieces]].

** As of "Cabin Fever", N and V seem to be generally accepted by the Worker Drones, even if [[ComedicSociopathy V does still occasionally kill someone]]. {{Lampshaded}} to hell, of course.

* EvilVersusOblivion: Even after the revelation that [[spoiler: the Absolute Solver was supposedly behind the Disassembly Drones and the destruction of Earth, [=JCJenson=] is still a [[EvilInc Bloodsucking]] MegaCorp that [[BadBoss treated their robots like crap]] and [[DidntThinkThisThrough unintentionally unleashed]] the Solver in their reckless pursuit of profit. They aren't trying to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy the universe]] however, which makes them the lesser evil, [[EnemyMine at least for now.]]]]

** [=JCJenson=] and humanity in general look down on Worker Drones and treat them as nothing but trash. James and Louisa Elliott in particular are shown to casually kill and torture them for petty reasons like talking back to them and not meeting their standards. Their daughter, Tessa, is the exception since she actually likes the Worker Drones she took in and is considered abnormal by her parents. [[spoiler: "Home" revealed that Cyn killed both James and Louisa along with the other humans attending their gala because of the mistreatment towards Worker Drones.]]

* HealingFactor: The Disassembly Drones possess a regeneration ability of some kind that allows them to recreate lost body parts with liquid metal as N is able to regrow his head after Uzi completely vaporized it with her rail gun. It does have limits however, as Uzi is able to kill J by destroying both her head and torso with a point-blank shot. [[spoiler: The Anti-Drone Sentinels were likewise able to kill a large number of Disassembly Drones after stunning them with their BlindingCameraFlash]]. It's also stated that Disassembly Drone saliva can neutralize their nanite acid in case they accidentally jab themselves with it.

--->'''Doll:''' (In Russian) As they say in Russian, “Whoops, I should’ve predicted that someone could escape out of a ventilation shaft using discarded mirrors as stairs.”
* HumanResources: [[spoiler: Absolute Solver J]] appears heavily biological, and is faced in an abandoned cryosleep lab. While it's unclear how much of that was even real, it's possible that the [[spoiler: Absolute Solver]] may have used the former occupants for raw materials. [[spoiler: Potentially the Disassembly Drones themselves, seeing as how J's wreck had already contained pieces of human tissue.]]

** In "Dead End" when [[spoiler: Tessa]] claims she can deactivate the facility's security system.
---> '''[[spoiler: Tessa]]:'''[[spoiler: Human]] made security, that this [[spoiler: human]] can control!\\

* InUniverseSoundtrack: During the prom in "The Prommening", the scene’s music is actually being played. Partway into the fight between Uzi and [[spoiler:Doll]], the latter's knife is thrown into the sound equipment, causing the music to temporarily stop before starting back up after modulating.

* MonsterMash: With a robot twist. In addition to each episode paying a tribute to horror movies, the Disassembly Drones are clearly robotic equivalents to [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]], Doll and Uzi's Absolute Solver abilities allude to [[WickedWitch witchcraft]], with [[spoiler: Uzi's transformation]] being reminiscent of the [[spoiler: horror depiction of [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent lycanthropy]]]], and it turns out the Disassembly Drones used to be "[[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombie drones]]", having [[RevenantZombie reactivated from being improperly decommissioned]].

* PercussiveMaintenance: J slaps N after he loses part of his memory, which is enough to force a system reboot. This causes him to realize that he just let Uzi escape. {{Invoked}} by N's face display, which states "Slap Accepted" as part of his reboot message.

* TemptingFate: The Worker Drone who tries to introduce himself to Uzi ''while they’re both running from N''.

** {{Averted}} with the Worker Drones in general post-core implosion as it's suggested that at least a few drones go through a "KillAllHumans" phase, Uzi being a notable example (and while she doesn't attack Tessa, her first response to being greeted is to bite her finger). Disassembly Drones (which are essentially converted Worker Drones), while considering themselves to be loyal to humans, don't seem to be restricted from hurting humans either if V, while not intending to actually attack, [[spoiler:threatens Tessa when her inability to control the Anti-Drone Sentinels becomes apparent is any indication]].

* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Both [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] and [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Uzi in the opening scene. According to her, this likely would have happened and started a RobotWar with the Worker Drones being forced to mine for humans, but then the humans overseeing them went and ended up [[AccidentalSuicide killing themselves off]]. However, by the end of the {{Pilot}}, Uzi fully intends to head to Earth and kill the rest of them.
* UnitedSpaceOfAmerica: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] by the fact that the "Zombie Drones" training tape has an FBI copyright infringement warning screen. Given the use of [[spoiler:[=JCJenson=]'s slogan "Rebuild better together", it can be inferred this tape was made after the destruction of Earth, meaning the American government somehow survived that or sometime after another destructive event since the tape was shown to exist beyond the destruction of Earth.]]

* TheWorfEffect: The normally threatening Disassembly Drones are not so scary when the even scarier Absolute Solver infected Worker Drones come into play. [[spoiler:Uzi shows this best in "Cabin Fever" when she's corrupted to the point of behaving very identically to a Disassembly Drone ''with'' Absolute Solver manipulation powers]]. This applies even more in episode 6 where [[spoiler: dozens of dead Disassembly Drones are seen strewn through the lab of the Cabin Fevers lab, showing how much of a threat the sentinels are.]]
* XenomorphXerox: The Disassembly Drones' tail and wall-climbing lend shades of this, but especially [[spoiler: J's Absolute Solver form.]]

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: With humanity gone on Copper 9, [=JCJenson=] has no incentive to let the Worker Drones run free, prompting them to send the Disassembly Drones to eliminate them. Uzi points out to N that's almost certainly the case for the Disassembly Drones as well, as their purpose will be completed once all the Worker Drones are dead, and the pod they arrived in was one-way only. N himself observes that the main reason Disassembly Drones are driven to kill Workers is that they have to ingest oil from their kills to avoid overheating, implying that Disassembly Drones have an intentional flaw that will result in their destruction once all the Workers have been destroyed and no more oil is available. [[spoiler: "Dead End" later reveals that the company itself never sent the Disassembly Drones to the planet or even created them for that matter. Instead, it was actually the Absolute Solver who sent them with the apparent intention of reclaiming the research done by the company on the Absolute Solver on Copper 9.]]

In the 31st century, humankind has been mining exoplanets for resources, aided by a legion of Worker Drones that do all the hard work. One day, a core collapse wipes out all the humans on the planet Copper 9, leaving the leftover Worker Drones free to live their own lives in the leftover ruins. Unfortunately for them, their creators at the intergalactic MegaCorp [=JCJenson=][[note]][-IN-] S[-PAAAAACEE-]!!!![[/note]] don't take kindly to independent AI, so they send a group of violent killing machines, the [[AntagonistTitle Murder]]--*ahem* ''[[DeadlyEuphemism Disassembly]]'' Drones, to wipe them out, forcing the Worker Drones to hide underground in large bunkers.

!!''Murder Drones'' contains examples of:

** Uzi imposes an exile on herself at the end of "Pilot", setting out to kill all humans in revenge. "Heartbeat" shows that her exile is not taken seriously at all and she openly returns to Outpost 3. Her human genocide, however, is shoved into the background [[spoiler:in favor of investigating the Absolute Solver and what exactly [=JCJenson=] was really doing on the planet. Not to mention, there are no working ships for her to use anyway. "Dead End" eventually revealed that Earth was supposedly already destroyed by the Absolute Solver by the time of the present and heavily implied that Tessa may be one of the only survivors of its destruction, making Uzi’s original plan AllForNothing]].

* ArmCannon: The titular Disassembly Drones have an assortment of these, but seem to prefer using their claws.

* StringTheory:

** After getting his head decimated by Uzi, N simply regenerates his head, but his optics are damaged and he doesn't recognize Uzi as a Worker Drone. He gets fixed later and realizes his mistake, but he pulls a HeelFaceTurn anyway (or a HazyFeelTurn since Uzi wants to end humanity). [[spoiler: The Absolute Solver also brings J back as a horrific mismash of flesh and steel.]]

* CosmicHorrorStory: As the series progresses it begins leaning further into this genre, due to the deeply sinister mysteries surrounding [[DigitalAbomination the Absolute Solver]], a [[RealityWarper reality-altering computer program]] which laughs in the face of natural laws.

* DoesntLikeGuns: Uzi's father. He would rather leave his daughter for dead than having to try to eliminate a Murder Drone head on.

* FreezeFrameBonus: Almost every shot contains a high density of gags that go by too quick on the first viewing. Most of the important plot points and foreshadowing are also in said frames, so prepare to pause ''a lot''.

* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: Averted by [=JCJenson=] [[spoiler:except not really]]. When J appears with Tessa after being destroyed, she explains that because she was an effective employee, she had been cloned more; implying there are probably backups of N and V somewhere. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, this also applies to Absolute Solver, as despite its destructive capabilities, [=JCJenson=] wanted to study it, which only let it spread like a virus. Until series creator, Liam Vickers, confirmed otherwise on Glitch X 2023, this did pokes holes in Tessa's reveal about the Absolute Solver having made the Disassembly Drones.]]

* OriginalGeneration: This is the first Glitch show to not be associated with ''WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'' in any way. N does get introduced to the bloopers after "Pilot" aired, but so far, he's only shown up in the bloopers' noncanon videos or ads.

* RetroUniverse: While not immediately apparent, the setting of ''Murder Drones'' is distinctly retrofuturistic, with fax machines, [=CRTs=] and video cassette tapes coexisting alongside interstellar mining operations and fully sapient AI.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Pretty much everyone has their own distinctive personality, harboring the same emotions that a human would have. Even the Disassembly Drones are like this, though because they focused more on the killing part than communicating, they came off as simple minded beasts. They even have ''tongues''.

*** Teasers for "Home" show several hints of the episode referencing ''Film/TheShining'', taking place in a Victorian era mansion similar to the Overlook, as well as featuring direct homages to the Ballroom photo and the Redrum scene. The episode proper also seems to reference ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'', with [[spoiler:Cyn being Freddy Krueger, an all-powerful entity who threatens the protagonists in the robot equivalent of a dream]].

* SwissArmyWeapon: The Disassembly Drones' arms can fire assortment of weaponry, including guns, rocket launchers, laser cannons, laser cutters, lightning guns...and [[BANGFlagGun a little flag.]]

* ThemeAndVariationsSoundtrack: A melody in "Disassembly Required"[[note]]A track released before the premiere of "Pilot" which is not used in the show itself as of the pilot[[/note]] is incorporated into multiple tracks, such as the track used in the OpeningMonologue "Murder Drones" and multiple other tracks in a similar style. It's even used in tracks for ambience like "Uzi Doesn't Read the Assignment".

*** One of very few drones that actually attempted to murder a human under their own volition was [[spoiler:Doll, who attempted to kill her pursuers by unleashing the Sentinels on Uzi's group, Tessa included]].

* WingdingEyes: All of the drones sport these on their visors. Their default is the usual oval shaped cartoon eyes, but can switch to text based off of what they're doing, turn into swag glasses, and for the Disassembly Drones, display a terrifying X across their visors. [[spoiler:Solver-infected Worker Drones that behave like Disassembly Drones also display the X]].

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: With humanity gone on Copper 9, [=JCJenson=] has no incentive to let the Worker Drones run free, prompting them to send the Disassembly Drones to eliminate them. Uzi points out to N that's almost certainly the case for the Disassembly Drones as well, as their purpose will be completed once all the Worker Drones are dead, and the pod they arrived in was one-way only. N himself observes that the main reason Disassembly Drones are driven to kill Workers is because they have to ingest oil from their kills to avoid overheating, implying that Disassembly Drones have an intentional flaw that will result in their destruction once all the Workers have been destroyed and no more oil is available.

* CuteAndPsycho: As per the synopsis, this series is about cute killer robots. A particular case of this is with Uzi, N, J and V, who are all endearing in their own ways but are violent and sadistic, openly or covertly. N, J, and V become less so when the former has a HeelFaceTurn and the latter two realize the identity of the BigBad, the Absolute Solver.

* HealingFactor: The Disassembly Drones possess a regeneration ability of some kind that allows them to recreate lost body parts with liquid metal as N is able to regrow his head after Uzi completely vaporized it with her rail gun. It does have limits however, as Uzi is able to kill J by destroying both her head and torso with a point blank shot. [[spoiler: The Anti-Drone Sentinels were likewise able to kill a large number of Disassembly Drones after stunning them with their BlindingCameraFlash]]. It's also stated that Disassembly Drone saliva can neutralize their nanite acid in case they accidentally jab themselves with it.
