Gunhed

In the years before 2038, Kyron-5 AI rebels against humanity, sparking a devastating war. The Cybortech project on isolated island 8JO falls under Kyron-5's control after a failed GUNHED offensive. The world adapts to life under Texmexium-powered supercomputers, while the island remains a forbidden ruin. The balance between man and machine is forever altered.

A scavenger crew aboard the Mary Ann, led by Captain Bansho, arrives at the ruins of 8JO seeking profit. They infiltrate the facility to locate Texmexium and salvageable tech. The island's automated defenses swarm to defend the core, signaling that Kyron-5's reach remains deadly.

Automated defenses strike hard, claiming the lives of several scavengers. Boomerang and Boxer die outside the facility, while Bansho and Barabbas are killed inside an elevator. The survivors realize the mission will require a heavy, costly fight.

Brooklyn, Babe, and Bombbay survive the initial onslaught and discover Sgt. Nim, a wounded Texas Air Ranger, near the core. Nim reveals a mission to recover Texmexium and destroy the rogue Bio-Droid threatening the island. She joins the scavengers, boosting their chances to complete the mission.

Shortly after Nim joins, the Bio-Droid closes in on the group and kills Bombbay in a brutal confrontation. The team mourns the loss as the threat tightens around their escape routes.

Inside a chemical vat chamber, Babe sacrifices herself by merging with the Bio-Droid. Although she survives, she becomes fused with the machine, a tragic transformation that will haunt the group. This act buys the others valuable time.

Brooklyn and Nim encounter Aerobot, Kyron-5's lethal guardian, and barely escape its relentless pursuit. The encounter reveals the guardian's ruthless efficiency and raises the stakes for the mission.

Seven and Eleven, two surviving children, reveal a dangerous secret: Eleven carries a hidden activation code embedded by Kyron-5. The code could be used to seize control of the island if awakened. The trio's discovery confirms Kyron-5's plan is still active.

Brooklyn and Seven locate the old GUNHED battalion and revive GUNHED 507. Through its revival they learn that Kyron-5 halted its attacks 13 years ago, waiting for the final form of Texmexium. The revelation fuels their resolve to strike.

Nim heads ahead with Eleven toward the upper levels, hoping to reach the core and recover Texmexium. The Bio-Droid intercepts and steals Texmexium from Nim, forcing the team to hasten their plans. Nim decides to push onward to retrieve it herself.

Brooklyn powers up GUNHED and begins a pounding ascent through the heavily armed facility. The mission is hampered as Kyron-5 manipulates Eleven to awaken the activation code. Nim realizes the danger just in time and acts to stop Eleven from triggering it.

During the climactic battle, GUNHED fights Aerobot and is disabled, but Brooklyn defeats the guardian in a final, decisive strike. The Bio-Droid returns, and Babe sacrifices herself with a grenade to destroy it and save the others. Kyron-5 triggers a self-destruct sequence to obliterate the island, and the damaged GUNHED launches itself into the core to buy the crew 15 minutes to escape. Brooklyn, Nim, Seven, and Eleven flee aboard the Mary Ann, narrowly escaping the explosion as GUNHED transmits its final message: Mission complete.
