Fleshed out Main idea and Backup

Several weeks ago i posted a blog detailing my final idea for the project which is a 3d short film. There were 3 story ideas that could potentially work. However i will try to merge them into one animation as different acts. The first act will be following the story arc of a toaster robot signed up by the police force to seek revenge for what the dangerous mafia gang did to him. The second act will be a prequel of the fisrt act and will look at the history of the main bad guy from act 1, Grease gun kelly. This arc will uncover how the bad guy became a bad guy and will show his rise to power in a mafia gang. This could also show what the mafia did to the act one protagonist to link it to the first part. Act 3 will be the return of the protagonist form act 1 and will be his fall from grace as a twist is revealed.

Act 1 Characters
Toasty - Protagonist
Vendo - Comedy relief sidekick
Grease Gun Kelly - Antagonist
Various Mafia Henchmen
Police Chief

Act 1 premise
Crime in the streets of Robopolis is at an all time high and the Cyberpolice are dangerously low on available officers to fight the crime. To bring an end to this they have started to revive ancient and obsolete robots and are implanting new behaviour chips to help fight the mafia. The protagonist, an old obsolete toaster robot is brought back along with Vendo the Vending machine to fight the mafia and recover the protagonists memories from the ones who stole them.

Act 2 characters
Kellgan - Protagonist
Police Chief
Mafia Henchmen
Mafia Boss - Antagonist


Act 2 premise
Kellgan and undercover police officer must infiltrate the mafia and eventually rise through the ranks to become a trusted member to topple the mafia and its criminal empire and change the mafia ways to do good rather than evil. To do this he must dispose of the previous boss's behaviour chip and take command. Toastageddon, the current boss, is disposed of by a different robot and leads the mafia into a new age of criminal activities. Kellgan helpless to do so must do as she is told to stay undercover as the new bosses right hand robot.

Act 3 Characters
Kellgan - Protagonist
Toastageddon - Antagonist

Act 3 premise
After retrieving his memories, Toasty (Toastageddon). Is reinstated as the mafia's boss and starts to fight Kellgan(Grease Gun kelly) and tries to avenge Vendo. After a long battle, Kellgan defeats Toastageddon but only after he uses the last of his energy supply to wipe out the police department ensuring the city falls into the abyss of crime. Kellgan survives.


Toasty - normal name/ Mafia name - Toastageddon
Grease Gun Kelly - Mafia name/ Kellgan

If for whatever reason i cannot complete this project, i have a Plan B in place in which i will do choose an act that is closer to being completed and will complete that instead.
