My plot idea:

It is not the past, present or future. Nor does it matter, after the discovery of time travel. Unfortunately, time travel is available to all of mechkind. Dislike your enemies? Destroy whoever created them. Abuse of the grandfather paradox is common. The only authority in existance is the Protectors, a collective mind with the soul purpouse of keeping the planet Mechaius, home and source of all mechs, in existence.
As space and time crumble, a new robot appears. Nobody knows where, when, or who he came from, even himself. His alliances are badly chosen at the start, though he secretly seeks the answers to his past. As the truth is learned, his purpouse becomes apparent: There is only one way order can be returned to this crumbling universe. One way this shattered continuum can be repaired. Mechaius must be destroyed.


Essentially, you'd play as a mech who starts with a rather blank personality. You'd start out sided with the Protectors (creative name, no?) for lack of knowing anything else to do, but slowly notice the importance in restoring order to the space-time continuum. Your goal would be to destroy Mechaius in it's early stages, which would solve the problem but "delete" yourself from history in the process. Can you say "multiple endings"?
