YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
*ahem* Yes, well. *straightens himself out* That is to say...I am quite pleased by this revelation.
I'd just like to point out that three of my favourite comics (Atomic Robo, Firebreather, The Goon) are all getting animated in the near future. This pleases me, greatly.

I just found a picture of Nick while he was typing his reply:
That picture is a total fabrication! I would NEVER wear something like that!
...it was a Destro mask.

Want. WANT. WANT! Wantwantwantwantwantwantwantwantwantwant.
WAAAAAAAANT!
WAAAAAAAANT!
Which is why they only needed 12k to complete it.
While it's at a lower level, it doesn't look like the animation will detract from the story. In other words it's not bad animation, it's just simpler animation. At least the tiny bit that was shown...
I'm interested to know if the story is substantial. Scientists create an AI, the AI becomes strong, then has to fight to save the world. Straightforward. The devil is in the plot details...
Sadly, yes. And I can't help wondering if a Kickstarter might help them, too.

Also, as far as the animation goes, I'd say it's above Newgrounds level. It's simple, but stylized.

My experience is that Atomic Robo stories are always pretty straightforward, but they're also always awesomely written.
My favorite story is the collection "Atomic Robo and the Shadow From Beyond Time," which involves him fighting a nonlinear enemy in different time periods

To be honest, I'm disappointed in the low-quality animation that's shown as well. The actual art is good, but the lack of movement in everything leaves a lot to be desired.
Yeah, it looks like it's a brand new story for the character, but it's part of an existing comics universe. And I heartily recommend buying the comic collections. They're pretty amazing.
(And a damn impressive feat for a writer who started out making a sprite comic that ripped off Simpsons jokes.)
