I'm totally canonblind, but i do know that cityofariel once boasted a sizable Transformers cast, so robots being robotic can definitely be a thing. Some ICly opted to make use of holoforms for certain activities, like entering buildings, but no one was required to be humanized. The game hits all your criteria except CRAU. It's a very backtag-friendly log-heavy game set in an isolated post-apocalyptic city of the near future. Game-wide events happen about once a OOC month, and they're designed to get as many characters into shenanigans as possible. (I suck at slice-of-life too!). Smut is required for Activity Check, but you can use the same thread more than once as long as the comments themselves are dated within the month.

Since it is a locked comm, there's a handy Ariel 101 post in addition to the FAQ if you want a more in-depth idea of what the game's like. Applications for this month end on the 8th. :)
