Synopsis

Robot Pirates tells the story of a group of Robots who in order to survive have to steal resources. This all started in the year 1900, Engineers attempted to create robot experiments, however proven being too dangerous for the human race, the robots were disposed. The surviving robots wandered the cold and dangerous streets until they venture the sea. Although a safer place, the sea lacks in resources, such as fuel and new pieces, so the robots start to scavenge from commercial and authority ships, turning the robots into pirates relying on corruption to serve their needs . These outrageous actions were led by the Captain Hidalgo "Bolt", the older and the leader of the Robots. With the help of his henchman Metal Jaw Gertie, Captain Bolt holds the power among the robots. John "Rusty", a friendly and rebellious robot pirate seeing this injustice challenges the Captain. And so it begins the adventures and misadventures of John Rusty and Company, as they venture the sea!
