Part 3/8:

A Unique Transformation

Fate intervenes when Ninja and his gang kidnap Dion to aid in their plans to rob an armored car. While in captivity, they discover Unit 22 and, under Dion's guidance, attempt to imbue it with a form of consciousness. Thus, Chappie is born, an entity that retains the capabilities of a police robot but must learn about the world as a child would—his growth and maturation taking place through violent and often chaotic interactions with his captors.
