Overview
Murder Drones is an animated web series that blends horror, comedy, action, and mystery into a world of abandoned industry, rogue machines, and unsettling cosmic power. It follows a cast of robotic characters on the frozen exoplanet Copper 9, where survival, identity, and hidden truth are constantly in conflict.
The story centers on Uzi Doorman, a rebellious Worker Drone who wants to fight back against the murderous machines sent to hunt her people, and N, a surprisingly kind Disassembly Drone whose loyalties become more complicated as the story unfolds.
Premise
After a catastrophic collapse on Copper 9, Worker Drones are left to survive in the ruins of a dead industrial colony. Their main threat comes from Disassembly Drones, also known by fans as Murder Drones, who are built to hunt and destroy them.
What begins as a survival story quickly expands into something much stranger, involving buried memories, body horror, broken systems, and the terrifying power known as the Absolute Solver.

V is chaotic, dangerous, and emotionally complex. She starts as a brutal threat and becomes much more layered as the series develops.
J is strict, confident, and loyal to authority. She serves as one of the early major antagonistic forces in the story.
Cyn is one of the most mysterious and disturbing figures in the lore, with deep ties to the Absolute Solver and the darkest parts of the series.
