Overview
A discarded police droid is repaired and given experimental consciousness, eventually discovering a way to transfer minds between robot bodies.
ASFR Content
Scout 22 begins as a heavily damaged machine marked for destruction. Deon repairs it and uploads a new conscious AI, creating Chappie. Later a shutdown virus disables police robots and Chappie must be restarted. His damaged battery cannot be replaced, so he develops consciousness-transfer technology, moving Deon and himself into new robot bodies and finally building a robot copy for Yolandi.
