In the future, wars will no longer be fought by men of flesh and blood. Instead, robots march forth into battle, to finish a job left half-done. It is not their war, not their cause, and yet they fight and die for the cause, heroes one and all. Hammerstein: the leader. Joe Pineapples: the ultimate assassin. Blackblood: the traitor. Mongrol: the killer machine. Deadlock: the crazed priest of Khaos. Mek-Quake: the coward. Ro-Jaws: the garbage eater. They are the Mek-Nificent Seven, they are the A.B.C Warriors - atomic, bacterial and chemical war robots, programmed for destruction - and this is their story.
