Remember Bionicle? That Lego line about robots with elemental powers living on a tropical island?
Lego rebooted it in 2015, but it was barely promoted or advertised at all.
It tanked so hard that they ended the line early (the story was planned to run 3 years) and the last wave of sets weren't even released in some countries.
Bionicle won’t be coming back for a long time, possibly ever, because of how bad the G2 sets sold. But the concept still has potential.
So a few fans thought that if Lego won’t give Bionicle the respect it deserves, maybe it’s time to make our own elemental robot story with blackjack and hookers, and so Afterman was born.
It was originally gonna be a comic, but now who knows.
We're trying to find the middle ground between capturing the feel of Bionicle, but also not being a total ripoff.

Google doc with the summary.
(I originally went to /co/ for feedback but they just called it autistic.)

I mean I like it but you're forgetting that there are 6 elements for Bionicle. But the background and character info is pretty good.

Stone was cut out for being redundant with earth. There are other elements (lightning, iron, plantlife) but they don't show up until later.
Also got a blog at project-afterman.tumblr.com with most of the art.
We don't have a set art style yet but they kinda look like this.
