New York 2067: From the very start of the Industrial Revolution back in the 18th Century, Mankind has been slowly killing the planet. With the one hand he has exhausted all of Mother Earth's natural resources and with the other he has repaid her by saturating the atmosphere with dirt and pollutants. As Mankind stumbled into the polluted wake of the 21st Century, the worlds greatest brains finally began to realise that unless something was done immediately, life on earth would soon become an out of date concept. The ultimate decision came from the highest corridors of power on the planet only those chosen few from each of the major population centures of the world would be saved, living a self contained life on secretly built City Ships far out to sea. Those left behind would have to fend for themselves in the mountains and hills, away from the decaying cities. Their reasoning was logical but without human compassion: was it not better that a selected few survive and rebuild, than none at all. They estimated that the pollution that hung over the cities would hopefully disappear given a decade or two so the order was given to construct the Wolverine, large robots programmed to patrol the deserted cities and keep them intact and ready for their eventual return. At first, crime was rampant and the Wolverine were faced with a conflict of programming. Their prime directive was to protect the city for the return of the Chosen Few, but the biggest danger to the city came from the criminal elements who still lived in it. Their most basic robotic law prevented them from directly or indirectly harming human life, yet they were unable to perform their prime directive without breaking this law. As a result, many of the Wolverine were destroyed by the humans who were increasingly bitter against anything that represented the authorities who had abandoned them. Only a few short months after the Golden Voyage, a war had begun. Unfortunately, a third side was about to enter the fray. The coming of the scavengers: They came from nowhere. At first their purpose was not clear. After a few months of intense activity, the Scavengers purpose became clearer. An enormous area around what used to be Central Park was completely levelled by them, and in its place was built a huge domed building, (the Furnace). The Scavengers sent out raiding parties to scavenge metal and other alloys from whatever they could get their pincers on, and they then returned their bounty to the building where it was recycled and used either for the manufacture of more Scavengers or for another secret purpose Naturally, the remaining Wolverine had to try and protect the city from these dark invaders, but their weaponry wasn't designed for full scale combat. Slowly but surely, the Wolverine became more and more depleted until only one remained. Released by Image Works in 1991.
