My Life as a Teenage Robot is an animated television series, produced by Frederator Studios for the Nickelodeon cable channel.
MLaaTR stars a 6-foot tall robot girl named XJ-9, but she likes to call herself "Jenny". "Jenny" lives in the town of Tremorton, in the year of 2072. "Jenny" likes to go to the mall, fit in at high school, and hang out with her friends Brad and Tuck, instead of saving the world. Her creator (a.k.a. mom) Mrs. Wakeman wants her to stay away from the human race, even teenagers. Brad likes what "Jenny" does, but his brother, Tuck, doesn't care for action. When "Jenny" is at high school, she would chill with the Krust Cousins, Brit and Tiff, who secretly do not like her. Also, a boy named Sheldon would stare at "Jenny" for hours, (he's in love with her) but "Jenny" loves a robot named the Silver Shell (he was created by Sheldon, who controlled him from inside like the Power Rangers' Zords), but then later disliked him for being a spy. Brit and Tiff Krust also do not like "Jenny" for being what she is. "Jenny" also has a problem with the Cluster (an evil robot clan ruled by another robot named Vexus, voiced by Eartha Kitt), because they want to get "Jenny" to be part of the Cluster. So "Jenny" can't get her life evened out, but she does what she can.
The series was based on the Oh Yeah! Cartoons short "My Neighbor was a Teenage Robot" and was created by Rob Renzetti. This show first aired on August 1, 2003

- "Jenny" XJ-9 Wakeman (Janice Kawaye) - A teenage female superhero robot, created by Mrs. Wakeman, and called Jenny Wakeman at her high school.
- Nora Wakeman (Candi Milo) - Jenny's creator and overprotective mother figure.
- Brad and Tuck Carbunkle (Chad Doreck, Audrey Wasilewski) - Jenny's next door neighbors, and best friends (Brad's the older brother, Tuck the younger).
- Brit and Tiff Krust (Moira Quirk, Cree Summer) - The popular kids at school (Brit's the tall black one and Tiff's the short white one). There are the Farkas "Bulk" Bulkmeier and Eugene "Skull" Skullovitch of Tremorton, so to speak, as they too like to mess with the unpopulars like Jenny and Brad. They like Don Prima.
- Queen Vexus (Eartha Kitt) - The evil ruler of the Cluster. Like Jenny, she too is a robot. She has the seductive appearance of a queen bee or a wasp. She wants to make Jenny a part of her kingdom, but most of her plans fail.
- Cluster Ambassador (Wally Wingert) - The ambassador to the Cluster. He came to Earth to give Jenny an invitation to join the Cluster, thereby sparking a battle that continues to this day. Is very persistent and evil, not to mention has bad manners.
- Sheldon Lee (Quinton Flynn) - A strange 5 and a half foot geeky teenager, who is a friend of Jenny, but madly loves her.
The Cluster
"Jenny" was first invited to The Cluster in a very friendly way. Now, she is ambushed by its queen, Vexus, to join The Cluster. Vexus is not easy to point out, she comes in forms of humans and other robots. When she comes out of her disguise, she is a robot that looks similar to a queen bee and she always adresses "Jenny" as Jennifer. When she is defeated, Vexus slashes something (usually electronical) and turns into the portal to Cluster. When "Jenny" opens it again, it is no longer the portal to The Cluster. The Cluster is a place where robots live and make plans to make the human race their slaves, as she feels the robots of the universe have suffered "discrimination" and "unequal treatment" by humans. And one of the uses for human slave labor is to make "Clustard", a frozen yogurt treat concocted by the Clusterians. So far, they only took control of Jenny twice. Many more attempts to ensnare her will occur.
