Iron Kid will be a fully three-dimensional animated television series. Following a science fiction action and adventure motif, the animated television series is geared towards children aged six through thirteen-years-old, and hopes to use its robot action and clever storytelling to win over fans all over the globe after its presentation at MIPCOM Junior.

The animated television series takes place in the robot year of 617, long after the first Robot World War for mankind has broken out. The war was a revolt against the humans as led by the notorious General Kaiser: who was a telekinetic individual transported inside a robotic body. A robot army led by the ruthless General Kaiser was then out to conquer the World. Back then, only one human warrior of a line of nobility, the enigmatic Eon, stood against the mechanical horde. Eon was armed with one of the most devastating weapons ever developed, the Iron Fist, a giant robotic appendage strong enough to penetrate the General's telekinetic field.

More than one hundred years later: Marty, the son of a scavenger and the only surviving descendant of the Eon family wanders the Grand Desert with his faithful robot dog in search of valuable artifacts and pieces of technology from the previous age. But when he unwittingly rescues Ally, the stepdaughter of the insidious Iron Tower's president Von Rhymer...

As a result, the companions seek shelter in an abandoned mine where they accidentally unearth the lost Iron Fist--a timely discovery in light of Von Rhymer's plan to revive the insidious General Kaiser.
