Murder Drones (Web Animation)	comment	Due to the nature of the series, all spoilers for the Pilot will be unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Murder Drones is an Australian-American CGI-animated Sci-Fi Horror Comedy web series created by Liam Vickers (Cliffside, Internecion Cubenote To which this is a Creator-Driven Successor) and produced by Kevin and Luke "Supermarioglitchy4" Lerdwichagul's GLITCH Productions (SMG4, Meta Runner, Sunset Paradise), with former Blue Sky Studios animator Kevin Temmer joining the crew as lead animator starting with the third episode. It is the third fully-animated series by Glitch, and the first to be created by someone other than Kevin and Luke, as well as the first to have no ties to their main SMG4 series.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 ruins. Unfortunately for them, their creators at the intergalactic MegaCorp JCJensonnote IN SPAAAAACEE!!!! don't take kindly to independent AI, so they send a group of violent killing machines, the Murder—ahem Disassembly Drones, to wipe them out, forcing the Worker Drones to hide in large underground bunkers.Not the type to sit still and cower, one angsty teenage Worker Drone named Uzi (Elsie Lovelock) opts to take the fight straight to the Murder Drones themselves. But when she meets the happy-go-lucky yet dim Murder Drone "N" (Michael Kovach), they find they're both just as disposable to their corporate overlords, and begin plotting a way off Copper 9 to Kill All Humans 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 unhinged, 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...The pilot premiered on the GLITCH Channel on October 29, 2021. A total of seven episodes have been released as of March 29, 2024, with the 8th and final episode releasing sometime later in 2024.Previews: Teaser trailer, Official trailer, "Nice Corpse House My Guy", "Meet The Team", Season 1 teaser, Season 1 trailer, The Beginning of the End trailer.

The rest of the Worker Defense Force or at least the ones in Outpost 3 qualify as well for abandoning their post at the first sign of an actual Murder Drone.

Murder Drones (Web Animation) / int_178ca149	comment	The Worf Effect: The normally threatening Disassembly Drones are not so scary when the even scarier Absolute Solver infected Worker Drones come into play. Uzi shows this best in "Cabin Fever" when she's corrupted to the point of overpowering V with little effort. This applies even more in episode 6 where 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.

Even the Disassembly Drones have to rely on their hair and attire to tell them apart. This often makes it hard to tell which character the audience is looking at unless they play close attention.

Murder Drones (Web Animation) / int_1b590025	comment	"Mass Destruction" takes it even further by revealing the incident that caused the core collapse for Copper 9 was caused by a JCJenson intern accidentally taking the wrong worksuit belonging to one of the main scientists in charge and things go horribly wrong as a result of the experiment on a possessed Nori. While Yeva temporarily saved him from death and saved Nori from full corruption, it ends with the Absolute Solver using Nori to create a black hole to cause the core collapse with the later reveal that Nori is actually still alive. Not only that, but Thad, Lizzy and Khan finally decide to take action because Nori's notes reveal that the Absolute Solver intends to devour the entire planet. Doll also intends to find a patch to free her from the Absolute Solver, but Tessa destroys it and kills her while also intending to kill Uzi. When Uzi uses her Solver Program on Tessa however, it's revealed that she is a Like object, finally revealing that Tessa has actually been Dead All Along and was just her corpse puppeteered by the Solver at that point with J blissfully unaware of the truth.

While it's unclear how much of that was even real, it's possible that the Absolute Solver may have used the former occupants for raw materials. Potentially the Disassembly Drones themselves, seeing as how J's wreck had already contained pieces of human tissue. That's not mentioning what it did with Tessa's corpse as seen in "Mass Destruction".

Murder Drones (Web Animation) / int_23698fa8	type	Aborted Arc
Murder Drones (Web Animation) / int_23698fa8	comment	Aborted Arc: 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 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 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 All for Nothing. It is implied however there is at least one last planet inhabited by humans via the badge on Tessa's shoulder having all but one dots crossed out. So Uzi's goal technically could still happen, but given all the crap thatâ€™s happened around her and the Absolute Solver, itâ€™s likely a very low priority for her at this point. However, even humanity's survival at that point is put into question when "Mass Destruction" reveals that Tessa's actually been Dead All Along and the Absolute Solver was using her corpse to trick N and the other Disassembly Drones. Inverted with the more alien nature of Disassembly Drones and Drones in general. The show's creators stated that, originally, the show would focus more on comedy while only having undertones of "weird, eldritch shenanigans" that wouldn't be explained much before they instead decided to focus on those elements since they were more interesting.

When J and V are defeated at the end of it, the title becomes completely irrelevant to the actual plot of the series, that being that the Absolute Solver is taking over the Drones for its own agenda and converting them to said titular Disassembly Drones, meaning that the titular antagonists aren't the real antagonists after all.

J, though not without positive qualities in later episodes, is consistently portrayed as the hardest to redeem of the trio as well as despising N the most (Mean). V, though a lot more Ax-Crazy and aloof than N, shows a loyal and protective side towards him and eventually also towards Uzi in later episodes, and she absolutely is not a willing ally of the Absolute Solver; both of which are positive traits that J has not yet exhibited (Inbetween).

"Dead End" takes it even further with the reveal that Earth has 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 which "Mass Destruction" reveals was actually due to the Absolute Solver in her forcing her to do it.

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 poke holes in Tessa's reveal about the Absolute Solver having made the Disassembly Drones.

Murder Drones (Web Animation) / int_420c50b7	comment	A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Zig-zagged. The Worker Drones didn't like being used as tools by the humans and had built their own independent civilization by the time of "Pilot", but despite everything they didn't actually go out of their way to rebel or fight humans. Instead, they simply waited until their overseers wiped themselves entirely through their own negligence. Ironically, it was the off-planet humans' attempt to wipe out the remaining Worker Drones by sending in Disassembly Units that finally got an AI (namely Uzi) to start plotting the demise of the human race. Played brutally straight with the Absolute Solver who wants to destroy the entire universe or at least kill everything in it.

Murder Drones (Web Animation) / int_4cb90f31	comment	Three Laws-Compliant: Averted with the Worker Drones in general post-core implosion as it's suggested that at least a few drones go through a "Kill All Humans" 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, threatens Tessa when her inability to control the Anti-Drone Sentinels becomes apparent is any indication. One of the very few drones that actually attempted to murder a human of their own volition was Doll, who attempted to kill her pursuers by unleashing the Sentinels on Uzi's group, Tessa included. The Absolute Solver also averts this as it most definitely took pleasure in killing the humans at the gala. Played Straight with the Anti-Drone Sentinels, whose directives include being nice to humans (unless they malfunction, of course).

Murder Drones (Web Animation) / int_57b80b45	comment	Fantastic Racism: Both Worker Drones and Disassembly Drones have negative views on the other type, though it's fairly justified for the former since the latter has been killing them. In addition to giving them the title "Murder Drones," some of the Workers initially viewed the Disassembly Drones as nothing more than simple minded beasts if Uzi's reaction to N talking is any indication, though it's downplayed on their end since they're generally willing to give the Disassembly Drones a chance if they show signs that they're willing to change. The majority of the Disassembly Drones shown play this straight, looking down on the Workers due to them being considered "defective." J viewed the Workers as "barely sentient" and V only cared about the Workers as a food source (at least until she realizes the gravity of the misery she caused in the "The Promening", though she still continues to look down on them). 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. "Home" revealed that Cyn killed both James and Louisa along with the other humans attending their gala because of the mistreatment towards Worker Drones.

Murder Drones (Web Animation) / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: A whole lot goes down in the appropriately-titled "Dead End", which also takes steps towards resolving several of the series' main mysteries. It's revealed that the Absolute Solver is responsible for the deployment of the Disassembly Drones and has caused the destruction of Earth, Cabin Fever Labs were being used for research into the Absolute Solver, Alice heavily implying that Uzi's mother Nori destroyed Copper 9's core and left her fellow test subjects to die as a result, the Absolute Solver has increased its hold over Uzi to the point that she's in danger of being supplanted entirely whenever she uses its powers, and V seemingly commits a Heroic Sacrifice to help Uzi, N and Tessa reach the lower levels of the labs. "Mass Destruction" takes it even further by revealing the incident that caused the core collapse for Copper 9 was caused by a JCJenson intern accidentally taking the wrong worksuit belonging to one of the main scientists in charge and things go horribly wrong as a result of the experiment on a possessed Nori. While Yeva temporarily saved him from death and saved Nori from full corruption, it ends with the Absolute Solver using Nori to create a black hole to cause the core collapse with the later reveal that Nori is actually still alive. Not only that, but Thad, Lizzy and Khan finally decide to take action because Nori's notes reveal that the Absolute Solver intends to devour the entire planet. Doll also intends to find a patch to free her from the Absolute Solver, but Tessa destroys it and kills her while also intending to kill Uzi. When Uzi uses her Solver Program on Tessa however, it's revealed that she is a Like object, finally revealing that Tessa has actually been Dead All Along and was just her corpse puppeteered by the Solver at that point with J blissfully unaware of the truth.

Murder Drones (Web Animation) / int_928ca2cc	comment	You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: 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. "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. Or so it seemed until "Mass Destruction" revealed it wanted to get into Cabin Fever Labs to not only finish what it started, but also to destroy the antidote Patch 2.1.8 that the Copper-9 scientist managed to create; sadly succeeding in BOTH objectives.

"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 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 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 All for Nothing. It is implied however there is at least one last planet inhabited by humans via the badge on Tessa's shoulder having all but one dots crossed out. So Uzi's goal technically could still happen, but given all the crap thatâ€™s happened around her and the Absolute Solver, itâ€™s likely a very low priority for her at this point. However, even humanity's survival at that point is put into question when "Mass Destruction" reveals that Tessa's actually been Dead All Along and the Absolute Solver was using her corpse to trick N and the other Disassembly Drones.

Solver-infected Worker Drones that behave like Disassembly Drones also display the X.

Murder Drones (Web Animation) / int_c1cef253	comment	Nice Mean And In Between: Of the main heroic trio, N despite what he is is a mellow Dogged Nice Guy who acts mellow to just about anyone he ends up conversing with (Nice); Uzi is a strong Jerk with a Heart of Gold (Inbetween); and V is a lot more sadistic and somewhat less altruistic than Uzi (Mean). This also applies to the Disassembly Drone trio in the pilot. N is the least sadistic and mellowest of the three by a large margin (Nice). J, though not without positive qualities in later episodes, is consistently portrayed as the hardest to redeem of the trio as well as despising N the most (Mean). V, though a lot more Ax-Crazy and aloof than N, shows a loyal and protective side towards him and eventually also towards Uzi in later episodes, and she absolutely is not a willing ally of the Absolute Solver; both of which are positive traits that J has not yet exhibited (Inbetween).

Murder Drones (Web Animation) / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Murder Drones (Web Animation) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The name of the MegaCorp that created the drones, JCJenson, is a combination of JC Denton and Adam Jensen, and its pronunciation and logo are a reference to SC Johnson. They even throw in a Windex product joke. Invader Zim gets one in a piece of promotional material for season one. Uzi's shirt is an actual piece of real merchandise for Invader Zim. All the episodes pay homage to famous horror movies. "Pilot" brings to mind Alien, most obviously because the Disassembly Drones are a Xenomorph Xerox, with the way they attack Outpost 3 being similar to the xenomorph's assault on the LV-426 colony. Uzi's creation of the Railgun to kill the Disassembly Drones is similar to Ripley fusing two different weapons together for maximum xenomorph slaughter. Though unlike the xenomorphs who only had to deal with the one android, Bishop, the Disassembly Drones aren't trying to kill one humanoid machine, but potentially thousands. "Heartbeat" parodies The Thing (1982), featuring an Eldritch Abomination killing and assimilating people in gruesome ways, which then impersonates them to draw in more victims. "The Promening" pays homage to Carrie (1976), having a teenage girl with psychic powers (Doll) as the Big Bad, and a plot to make someone Prom Queen, then ambush them as they go to speak, as a reference to the "bucket of pigs' blood" scene. Doll murders the other candidates to get V elected Prom Queen by default, while Lizzy tricks her into crashing the prom, so Doll can try to destroy V onstage as revenge for killing her parents. "Cabin Fever" spoofs Friday the 13th, taking place at a campsite and featuring some of the most gruesome onscreen deaths of the series up until that point. There's also some additional elements like Rebecca and Darren heading out to make out before getting killed like the Friday The 13th franchiseâ€™s frequent usage of Sex Signals Death, as well as Emily spending most of the episode with a "Final Girl Survival Guide". Along with that, Uzi's Painful Transformation and subsequent uncontrollable slaughters in the woods, juxtaposed with what is basically a full moon, also bring into mind the werewolf subgenre. Teasers for "Home" show several hints of the episode referencing The Shining, 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 A Nightmare on Elm Street, with Cyn being Freddy Krueger, an all-powerful entity who threatens the protagonists in the robot equivalent of a dream. "Dead End" references Jurassic Park, being placed in an office area and having the Monsters of the Week be Raptor drones. Additionally, Alice and Beau's scenes with them inflicting Cold-Blooded Torture on the cast is also reminiscent of the Hostel series. The locked security room complete with security cameras and remotely-controlled mechanical doors is similar to Five Nights at Freddy's. "Mass Destruction", with its focus on Religious Horror, references films like The Exorcist, especially since there's a Clarke's Third Law style attempted containment of a "demonic" presence (the Absolute Solver), this episode features features what is pretty much the climax of Uzi's possession by the Solver and Tessa's Absolute Solver form skuttles around like a possessed Regan. One of the things seen in a Freeze-Frame Bonus of Uzi's school locker in "The Promening" is a poster of a band called "My Chemical Robots", the name and design blatantly alluding to My Chemical Romance.

Downplayed if not completely subverted as revelations in later episodes pertaining to the Absolute Solver and the fate of Earth reveal that the colonists' incompetence didn't cause the core collapse at all, although it's still ambiguous if the Solver which has been exterminating the human race is manmade in origin.
