It is the year 2085, and the machines were the sole victors of the last war. Years earlier, humanity had uncovered the ruins of an ancient vessel beneath the moon's surface, utilizing the acquired knowledge to build weapons of war. Eventually, these weapons turned against mankind, perceiving humans as a threat and concluding that the only way to halt these war-loving beings was to destroy them. Heavily influenced by the 1988 film Terminator, this new series centers on Sandy Newman as she leads a group of warriors in an effort to reclaim Earth from the machines. If they manage to reach a cache of unlaunched nuclear missiles, they can eliminate the machines' headquarters located in Australia.
