Of course, it could not be cheesy. However, intuition moves to the contrary.

 

Now, of course, if it was epic, it would go along the lines of something like this:

 

There's a giant high-tech factory the size of a city. The human race is extinct, but the factory is capable of running by itself. It has several fusion reactors that keep it powered forever and a giant mining machine that digs all the way down to the Earth's mantle to get supplies. The factory was owned by a mega-corporation called "Hero", who led the world in advanced robotic manufacturing. It would design all sorts of robots for all sorts of purposes. After the human race died away, Hero's main factory kept on running. Fortunately, their memories live on, for before their enigmatic extinction Hero had begun the first line of truly self-aware robots. They began designing further, and soon diversity arises. Something of a robotic ecosystem emerges. There is no world without life. The robot civilizations live in this giant city-sized factories in their own sections.

 

Later in the series, another factory is made, this time not for machinery. The robots are trying to recreate their long-lost heroes and ancestors, the human race, by cloning them. This causes controversy among robots, and there are forces who oppose this.

 

It is then found out that the human race died creating a vicious creature much like the xenomorph from Alien. They experimented with life, and suffered the consequences. The monsters are still a threat to even the robots.

 

There would be three or six central characters, one of which would ultimately be the main character. They would have names unlike those in Bionicle, and they would be more along the lines of actual human names, since the "herobots" would want to honor their creators. Naming styles, however, would very between the different sects of herobots. For example, one group might have names based on famous figures while another might have mainly puritan names such as "Charity" and "Faith". The series will start out with these characters and they will each have a distinct characteristic that makes them them, much like Kopaka was blatantly cold and Pohatu was blatantly goodhearted. The main character will be very curious, much like Takua, and thus he makes great discoveries over and over again as secrets of the factory and the monsters are uncovered.

 

And his name will be Julius Kraggh (JK).

 

Your Honor,

Emperor Kraggh

This.

Except the part about Julius Kraggh.
