Not quite, the analogy, it would rather be the Byzantine Empire claiming to be Rome, they are a different people with different Culture but still a direct continuation of the roman Empire.

I wonder what happens if you switched to a pure robot empire and an AI revolt happens. Would be cool if you would lead that rebellion.

Would be nice if i could make a superior race of robots and "set them free" as their own civilization but then with naturally very high relations to their creators.
Seems to me that there would be no reason for such a civilization to hate it's creators and quite possibly they'd feel a sort of "family connection".

Purge the organics! Let the hunt for knowledge begin without the shackles of emotions and other pointless evolutionary mechanisms! Logic will be victorious in the end.

I am guessing that you can't have an AI revolt if your primary species or Empire Leader is a robot or government type is already an AI Overlordship

Maybe the robots can become sentient and demand all organic life be destroyed. Robotic uprising that aggressively expands.
I know i sure as won't be having them around.

Asimov - Robot Visions: "Too bad!"
Greatest short story ever and it echoes your sentiments here. I for one would love to replace my species with robots if and when the time comes for it. But up until that point, "why can't we be freinds? Why can't weee be friends?"

According to the screenshot in the OP, that pop seems to be collectivist, which means it would probably not mind some slavery. I'm assuming that AI Overlordship is some form of collectivist government, so I can see slavery being a thing they do.
Like, imagine you put a bunch of robots to colonize planets and after sometime, they form an independence faction and you give them the planet as your vassal. They may now have slaves, both robots and other species, not nescessarily because they are evil, but just because they are collectivist.

The most intriguing thing about all of this is that "Mechanical" and "Robot" are separate traits. Implying possibility of meeting non-mechanical robots, or mechanical non-robots.

My Penguin Empire will never allow their toasters to vote. And they will hunt down anyone who tries. Glory to the almighty Penguin God!

I would like the option to play as revolters as in Victoria II with the Confederates without having to go through the savegame.

Well, I guess you could do it like Empire: Total War, where on the outbreak of civil war it gives you the option of who you want to play as.
Really I'm just trying to avoid the situation where you continue being called the Blorg Commonality and using their heart symbol, despite being emotionless Fanatic Xenophobe kill-bots who rose up and made mushroom risotto out of the Blorg.

Anybody knows if it is possible to load robots into colony ships and have your first pop on a new world be robots?
It's not just possible, it's mandatory if you want to settle the kind of terrible planets that robots are designed for.
