Story

The storyline involves many colourful characters, monsters and robots, which lived side by side in general disharmony. Completely unable to work as a team - in fact "work" and "team" were not in the monsters' vocabulary - the monsters roamed free within their habitats and occasionally risked being painfully dismembered by other monster species if they strayed too far from home. This was their way of life until a small and mysterious do-gooding alien life form arrived.

This lifeform was to be known as The Maker. The Maker was responsible for making many things, and specifically he made robots. The Maker's own planet was dying and his fellow species were doing nothing about it. Seeing the inevitable destruction, The Maker planned his escape.
