Once the greatest soldier the Planet Earth Military Forces had seen, Meat can't help but think this new age of robotic soldiers will leave people like him in the dust. Forced into retirement, he has nothing left to do but stew in his bitterness toward the organization he once loved.
Lucas Sharpe wishes he'd managed to work his way to CEO of the Planet Earth Military Forces before its leaders traded their plasma rifles for stacks of paperwork. Now he's just bored.
Alpha is having enough trouble winning his mechanic's heart - as it turns out, robots aren't her type - but when Meat begins to stalk Alpha's inventor, Lucas sees a chance to return to action, even if it means breaking a few rules. Unfortunately, Lucas's involvement only makes Meat angrier, and before long, the ex-soldier's obsession escalates into all-out suburban warfare. Everything Alpha loves is threatened, and it becomes clear he will have to fight. And he would fight - he really would - if not for an unfortunate, deadly malfunction that should come as no surprise to anyone who knows his inventor is the worst Military scientist of all time.
