Atomic Robo’s worst villains strike while he’s out of town on another mission, so it’s up to Dr. Dinosaur to save the day (big mistake)
Atomic Robo looks fantastic! The art style is cartoony and vibrant, and the characters are funny, likable, and, most importantly, memorable. The protagonist, Atomic Robo, was created by Nikola Tesla back in the 1920s and has since faced off against air pirates, mad scientists, a dinosaur who’s also a mad scientist, vampires, and even cowboys. Now, fans can follow him on his latest adventure… becoming a university administrator? This project promises tons of fun, and with $40,000 raised out of its $24,000 goal, we at The Beat think it’s one you won’t want to miss!
