[My untitled scifi universe. TLDR pitch: A space adventure setting with a retro visual flair and sensibility. It is set in the far future, with most of the world building taking place just before, during, or in the years after a major war left the galaxy in a state of disorder]

After the Shutdown War, many lower intelligence robots that had been part of the Groupthink were left to fend for themselves without direction or control.

In this picture a robot with adaption and field repair abilities became a kind of wandering crypid on a forest world. Having no more directives to fight, it was aimless, and survived by adapting itself and repurposing parts of destroyed robots to continue.
