Synopsis:
Ten years after The Harvesters attacked the far-flung future worlds of the UGC (United Galactic Council) a young android boy awakes to find everything he knew had perished. This android was named TIM-21.
While searching for help on the abandoned mining planet he had called home, TIM-21 finds his robot dog, Bandit. As TIM-21 and bandit continue to search the planet, they are found by Scrappers, who seek to turn-in the android and his dog because - as TIM-21 will come to find out - all robots have been outlawed.
As the situation between the Scrappers and TIM-21 continues to escalate, the android receives aid from a left-behind mining robot. Seemingly, the mining robot had come too late as TIM-21 had been fatally wounded. The mining robot tries to help TIM-21, but simply does not have the ability to. While the mining robot is trying to aid TIM-21; Captain Telsa, of the UGC and Doctor Qoun, the "Father of Robotics" arrive seeking the young android. After reviving TIM-21, Captain Telsa and Doctor Qoun explain that TIM-21 may be the key to saving the entire UGC.
