MACHINEDRAMON
Group: Machine -
Level: Mega - Type: Virus -
Attack Techniques: Giga Cannon, Dragon Fire
Machinedramon is one of the Dark Masters, and
ruler of the digital city. When the Dark Masters took control of
the DigiWorld and reformatted it, Machinedramon
created for himself a city, appearing as an amalgam of major
cities in the real world, such as New York, Paris and Rome. When
the DigiDestined returned to the DigiWorld after
their battle with Myotismon on Earth, all four
Dark Masters attacked them. Machinedramon used his Giga Cannon
attack to blast open the ground and send the DigiDestined and
their Digimon tumbling into an abyss.
After the DigiDestined had defeated MetalSeadramon
and Puppetmon, it was Machinedramon's turn. Kari
fell ill during the DigiDestined's journey, and when Kabuterimon
located a city, she was quickly airlifted to it. However, what
they didn't realised was that this city was Machinedramon's city.
When they went to a nearby hospital to search for medicine for
Kari, Izzy logged on to the city's network,
inadvertently tipping of Machinedramon and his forces to their
location. They managed to escape the legions of robotic Digimon
Machinedramon sent against them, but were then set upon by
Machinedramon himself, who destroyed the building they were
hiding in, sending them plummeting into the sewers. Sora,
T.K. and Kari were separated from Tai
and Izzy, and came across an underground slave camp of
Numemon, being run by WaruMonzaemon.
When their Digimon defeated him in battle, he contacted
Machinedramon. Machinedramon destroyed WaruMonzaemon for his
incompetence, and then arrived in the sewers himself to find and
destroy the kids. He first came across Tai and Izzy, who had met
up with Andromon. Andromon battled
Machinedramon, taking the fight through the sewers, and finding
Sora, T.K. and Kari along the way, but even with the help of Birdramon,
Angemon and Angewomon, could not defeat
him. The Numemon that Kari and the others had freed swarmed over
Machinedramon, trying to stop him, but he vaporised them all with
his Giga Cannon attack. Light from Kari's Crest
released at this point energised Agumon,
allowing him to Warp-Digivolve to WarGreymon.
WarGreymon then "sliced Machinedramon like an onion,"
literally hacking the mechanical beast to pieces, destroying him.
Machinedramon first appears in "Enter
The Dark Masters." He appears for a few
seconds in "Sea-Sick and Tired"
and "Playing Games,"
and then finally fights the DigiDestined on his own terms and
turf in "My Sister's Keeper"
and "The Crest of Light."
His voice is supplied by Dave Guerrie.
Name: From the words "machine" and
"dragon," which "dra" is short for.
MAGNAANGEMON
Group: Angel -
Level: Ultimate - Type: Vaccine -
Attack Techniques: Gate of Destiny, Angel Rod
MagnaAngemon Digivolves from Angemon,
the Champion level Digimon
partner of T.K. of the DigiDestined.
He wields an energy blade dubbed "Excalibur," and his
awesome attack is the Gate of Destiny, which opens a portal to
oblivion and sucks through his opponents. He has one other
technique, called the "MagnaAntidote." Quite how it
works is unclear, but one would assume it is a universal healing
ability.
Despite the fact that T.K. gained his Crest relatively
early on in the kids' adventures, it was some time before it
actually glowed. While fighting Piedmon, the
last of the Dark Masters, all the kids, save for
Kari, T.K. and Angemon had been turned into key
chains by the villain's magic. Angemon battled him, but was
hurled from the top of his fortress. Piedmon cut the rope that
T.K. and Kari were using to escape, and they followed him. As he
fell, T.K. realised that even now, he couldn't give up - he had
to do his best, for his brother, for Angemon, and for everyone.
Energised with his hope, T.K.'s Crest began to glow, and Angemon
finally Digivolved to MagnaAngemon. MagnaAngemon saved T.K. and
Kari, and then reclaimed the key chains from Piedmon, knocking
him from his fortress. He then used his MagnaAntidote technique
to restore everyone to normal. When Piedmon attacked again with
his Vilemon army, MagnaAngemon opened his Gate
of Destiny, sucking in all the Vilemon. WarGreymon
and MetalGarurumon then blasted Piedmon through
the gate, which shut behind him.
Then, the kids were immediately plunged into battle with Apocalymon.
MagnaAngemon and the other Ultimates battled him, but Apocalymon
destroyed the Crests and deleted the kids and their Digimon.
However, while floating in digital limbo, the kids realised that
the power had not been from the Crests - it had been inside them
all along. They reconstituted their digital bodies, and the
Digimon Digivolved to Ultimate again, to defeat Apocalymon.
In May 2000, Patamon lost his ability to Digivolve to Ultimate
when T.K. and the other kids gave up the powers of their Crests
to seal the DigiWorld off from evil.
Four years later, when the new DigiDestined
were attempting to stop BlackWarGreymon from destroying
the Destiny Stones, Angemon was exposed to the power of
the fourth stone, and the energy boost allowed him to Digivolve
into MagnaAngemon. MagnaAngemon battled BlackWarGreymon, and
actually had him on the ropes, ready to send him through the Gate
of Destiny, until BlackWarGreymon destroyed the Destiny Stones,
cutting off MagnaAngemon’s source of power, and reverting
him to Patamon.
At Christmas, Gennai arrived on
Earth, and used Azulongmon’s Digi-Core to give the
original eight Digimon a power boost, restoring their ability to
Digivolve to Ultimate. Patamon headed to Paris with T.K., Tai
and Agumon, to round up the wild Digimon that had appeared
there. Patamon Digivolved into Angemon, and then into
MagnaAngemon to battle Giromon and the Mamemon
Brothers. He destroyed the Control Spire in Paris with Excalibur,
and Giromon and Mamemons were sent back to the DigiWorld.
When all the DigiDestined regrouped in
Tokyo, they found that more Digimon had appeared on Earth –
this time, they were the evil Daemon Corps. MagnaAngemon
joined in the fight against SkullSatamon, but was
defeated. The original eight Digimon sacrificed their power to
Digivolve to Ultimate once again, giving their energy to Imperialdramon,
enabling him to Mode Change to his Fighter Mode.
MagnaAngemon appeared once more, in the
dream dimension of MaloMyotismon. T.K. and the
other DigiDestined used the mystic nature of the dimension to
make their dreams come true, and Patamon separated into all his
forms - Angemon, MagnaAngemon, Pegasusmon and Shakkoumon
joined with all the other stages to battle MaloMyotismon, but
when he crossed the border to the DigiWorld, only the
"real" incarnation of Patamon could cross over, and so
Shakkoumon went across, while the MagnaAngemon avatar faded away.
MagnaAngemon first appears in "Piedmon's
Last Jest." His voice is supplied by Dave
Mallow.
Name: From the Latin word, "magnate," meaning a
person of great importance, and the word "angel."
MAGNADRAMON
Group: Dragon – Level: Mega
– Type: Vaccine – Attack Techniques: Fire
Tornado, Dragon Fire
Magnadramon is the Mega level form of Gatomon,
the Digimon partner of Kari of the DigiDestined.
When Kokomon, the rogue Digimon partner of Willis,
a DigiDestined from Colorado – in his own Mega form of Kerpymon
– confronted the new DigiDestined Digimon in battle, he
reversed time, transforming Davis, Yolei, Cody,
T.K., Kari and Willis back into toddlers. In an effort to
stop him, Angewomon and Angemon drew upon all their
energy, and Digivolved into their Mega forms of
Magnadramon and Seraphimon. Then, Magnadramon and
Seraphimon summoned the Golden Digi-Eggs, in hopes of
empowering the other Digimon, enabling them to defeat Kokomon.
Magnadramon released the Digi-Egg of Destiny, and then she and
Seraphimon were cut down by Kokomon, and she reverted back into
Gatomon. Willis then used the Digi-Egg of Destiny to Armour
Digivolve Terriermon into Rapidmon, who, with Magnamon,
defeated Kokomon.
Magnadramon appears in “Digimon:
The Movie.” Her voice is supplied by Edie Mirman.
The portion of the movie in which she appears is supposed to be
out of continuity (though it has been shoehorned in by the
dubbers), and as such, the events of this part of the movie do
not impact on the ongoing series, which is why Gatomon cannot
Digivolve to Magnadramon in the anime.
Name: From
“magnate,” a Latin word meaning a person of great
importance, and “dragon,” which “dra” is
short for.
MAGNAMON
Group: Warrior – Level: Armour
– Type: Vaccine – Attack Techniques: Magna
Blast, Magna Explosion
Magnamon is the
Golden Armour form of Veemon, the Digimon
partner of Davis of the DigiDestined, created by
the Digi-Egg of Miracles. Magnamon has appeared only
twice, and to complicate matters, one of these appearances is out
of continuity, while the other is in, leading to them
contradicting each other.
Appearance One - Having been reverted
to their Rookie forms during their battle with Kerpymon,
the Mega form of Kokomon (the rogue Digimon partner
of Willis, a DigiDestined from Colorado), Veemon, Hawkmon,
Armadillomon and Terriermon were on the verge of
defeat, until Angemon and Angewomon arrived to turn
the tide. Kerpymon used his powers to reverse time, transforming
the kids back into toddlers, and Angemon and Angewomon had to
call upon all their energy, enabling them to Digivolve to
their own Mega forms of Seraphimon and Magnadramon.
They then released the Golden Digi-Eggs, and Davis
and Willis used them on their Digimon. Using the Digi-Egg of
Miracles, Veemon Golden Armour Digivolved into Magnamon,
and, along with Rapidmon, attacked Kerpymon. Their attacks
did little damage, as Kerpymon continuously healed himself after
each injury, and then swallowed the two Digimon. Inside of him,
guided by the small part of him that was still untainted,
Magnamon and Rapidmon destroyed the virus, restoring him to his
Vaccine form. Kerpymon then deleted, no longer able to heal his
wounds, and Veemon and Terriermon floated down from the sky.
This adventure is supposed to be out of continuity.
Appearance Two – As the Digimon
Emperor cut a swathe of destruction across the DigiWorld
with Kimeramon, the DigiDestined managed to enter his
base, and fought their way through his forces. Wormmon,
determined to stop the Emperor’s mad plans, led Davis to the
fortress’s engine room, where Davis found the Digi-Egg of
Miracles and removed it, shutting down the base. The Digi-Egg
then activated, and Davis used it to transform Veemon into
Magnamon.
Magnamon then engaged Kimeramon (who had
turned against the Emperor, although the Emperor didn’t
realise it) in battle, heavily damaging the fortress. The
crippled base fell from the sky as the DigiDestined evacuated,
while Magnamon and Kimeramon continued to fight. Magnamon began
to run out of energy, and was seized by Kimeramon, who threatened
to crush him. Wormmon, in a last attempt to stop the Emperor and
make him see the error of his ways, managed to free Magnamon, and
then gave him the remainder of his own energy. Magnamon,
re-energised by Wormmon’s sacrifice, used his Magna
Explosion attack to destroy Kimeramon. Magnamon then reverted to DemiVeemon,
and the Digi-Egg of Miracles transformed into its original form
of the Crest of Kindness.
The conflict between these two
appearances is due to the different origins for the Digi-Egg of
Miracles given in each. Read the Golden Digi-Eggs and Digi-Egg of
Miracles entry for any more details.
Magnamon first appears in “Digimon:
The Movie.” Even in Japan, this part of the movie
was released before the TV episodes showcasing him were aired. He
first appears in the anime in a cameo at the end of “The
Darkness Before Dawn,” which leads right into “The
Crest of Kindness.” It’s hard to say which
of these appearances comes first chronologically speaking (most
people would say it was the movie, but nothing is known for
absolute certain), but as one appearance is supposed to be out of
continuity, it doesn’t really matter. His voice is supplied
by Steven Jay Blum.
Name: From “magnate,” a Latin
word meaning a person of great importance.
MALOMYOTISMON
Group: Evil - Level: Mega
– Type: Virus – Attack Techniques: Screaming
Darkness, Crimson Mist, Mental Illusion
MaloMyotismon is an alternate Mega for
Myotismon’s Digivolutionary line, with more potential for
power than even VenomMyotismon. His Screaming Darkness
attack protects pure darkness on his opponents, while his Crimson
Mist attack consists of a powerful acidic spray. He is capable of
reading the minds of others, and feeds off of fear and despair.
After being destroyed as VenomMyotismon, the
data of the evil Digimon overlord, Myotismon, floated
aimlessly in the real world, with nowhere to go. When the DigiWorld
appeared in the sky, Myotismon found what he was looking for
– a host. Yukio Oikawa, who had learned of the
DigiWorld as a child, and had always wanted to go there, was
stunned to see the DigiWorld appear before him, and pleaded with
the DigiDestined – too far away to even hear him – to
take him with them as they left. Myotismon heard his pleas, and
made him an offer – “soothe your heart with darkness,
and I will take you there!” Oikawa, not even fully
understanding, agreed to Myotismon’s terms, and
Myotismon’s data entered his body, possessing him.
As time passed, Oikawa was unaware that
Myotismon was inside of him, manipulating his actions. Myotismon
engineered the creation of Arukenimon and Mummymon,
and had them act out his plans to disrupt the barriers of
DigiWorld, which would allow him to enter it. But the new
DigiDestined continuously foiled his plans, and so, he needed to
get his hands dirty. While on the run from Daemon and his
corps, Myotismon had Oikawa replicate the Dark Spore
within Ken, and implant it into various other unwitting
children. Oikawa thought that it would allow him to enter the
DigiWorld, but instead, Myotismon planned to use them as a power
source to all him to be reborn.
When a girl named
Noriko’s Spore flowered prematurely, Oikawa absorbed
it’s power, and Myotismon took over his body momentarily,
fatally injuring BlackWarGreymon, who had discovered that
Myotismon was inside of Oikawa. With the last of his strength,
BlackWarGreymon sealed the DigiWorld gate at Highton View
Terrace, preventing Myotismon from gaining access.
Instead, Myotismon had Oikawa use the key
cards to open a gateway to another dimension, where he
finally revealed the truth, and exited Oikawa’s body, taking
on Oikawa’s own form. Then, he absorbed the power from the
Dark Spores, and transformed himself into MaloMyotismon. His
first act was to dispense with Arukenimon and Mummymon, no longer
having any use for them, taking the opportunity to test out his
mind-reading powers. He scanned Arukenimon’s thoughts, and
then acted out her fears, toying with her before he destroyed
her. He then calmly melted Mummymon with his Crimson Mist attack,
and turned his attention to the DigiDestined. The kids were all
terrified, except Davis, whose courage energised ExVeemon,
enabling him to do some damage to MaloMyotismon in a one-on-one
battle. MaloMyotismon used his Mental Illusion technique to
manipulate the energies of the dimension, plunging the
DigiDestined into illusions of their greatest desires, so they
would trouble him no longer. However, he had not counted on
Davis, who was happy with his life, and had no concerns or dreams
of his own. Davis helped free the kids from their illusion, and
then they used the power of the dimension to their own ends,
making all their Digimon Digivolve to their separate forms
at once. All of the Digimon teamed up against MaloMyotismon,
dealing him a severe pummelling, until a twin attack from the two
Imperialdramons’ Positron Lasers ripped a hole in the
fabric of the dimension, through which MaloMyotismon fled into
the DigiWorld. He then absorbed the darkness there, and grew to
immense proportions, using his Screaming Darkness attack to beat
back the Digimon, and then beginning his grand plan – to
shroud both worlds in the power of his darkness, making him ruler
of both! Soon, all the Digimon of the world’s DigiDestined
arrived on the scene, and, acting light beacons, weakening
MaloMyotismon with their light, they summoned their human
partners into the DigiWorld. However, the children implanted with
the Dark Spores believed that victory was impossible... and
MaloMyotismon began to feed off their fear once more. The
DigiDestined managed to get them to talk about their dreams,
which they realised were not as meaningless as they had been led
to believe. Weakened by this positive energy,
MaloMyotismon’s body began to discorporate, and his spirit
floated into the sky, trying to spread itself. The DigiDestined
of the world all united their power, and used their Digivices
to energise Imperialdramon, who used his Giga Crusher attack to
obliterate Myotismon’s spirit for good.
MaloMyotismon first appears in silhouette
form in “BlackWarGreymon’s Destiny.”
He appears in the flesh in “Oikawa’s
Shame.” His voice is supplied by Richard Epcar.
Name: From
“mal,” Spanish for "bad,” and
“myotis,” the genus to which the vampire bat belongs.
MAMEMON
Group: Mutant - Level: Ultimate
– Type: Data - Attack Techniques: Smirk Bomb,
Sparkling Blow
When Arukenimon opened all
the Digi-Ports, Mamemon, along with BigMamemon,
MetalMamemon and Giromon,
travelled through one and wound up in Paris. They captured Catherine,
a French DigiDestined, and her Floramon, and
then had a banquet at the Palace of Versailles. Tai
and T.K. arrived with their Digimon,
being helped by T.K.'s grandfather. Greymon and Angemon
battled them, and then Digivolved into MetalGreymon
and MagnaAngemon to finish them off, destroy the
Control Spire and send them back to the DigiWorld.
Mamemon appears in "Digimon World Tour,
Pt. 2."
Name: From the Japanese word "mame," meaning
peas or beans.
MAMMOTHMON
Group: Ancient Animal -
Level: Champion - Type: Vaccine
- Attack Techniques: Tusk Crusher, Freezing Breath
The first Mammothmon the DigiDestined encountered was a
minion of Myotismon. When the kids were back at Highton
View Terrace, remembering a Digimon battle
they had seen there four years prior, Mammothmon attacked them. Garudamon
gave battle, in a bizarre parody of the battle of four years ago,
and defeated him with relative ease.
Four years later, numerous Mammothmon appeared at various times,
during the adventures of the new DigiDestined. The first herd of
Mammothmon to appear then were not actually real Mammothmon, but
were instead unliving Digimon, created by Arukenimon from
two hundred Control Spires to battle her renegade
creation, BlackWarGreymon. BlackWarGreymon tore into the
Mammothmon, and defeated them with terrifying ease.
Some time later, when Arukenimon opened all
the Digi-Ports, and wild Digimon appeared all over the
world, numerous (notably docile) Mammothmon were seen on the
India/China border, and another, more aggressive herd of them
caused havoc in Siberia, as some unnamed Russian
DigiDestined’s Frigimon attempted to hold them off. Yolei,
Sora and the Russian DigiDestined Anna, Sonya
and Yuri arrived to try and corral the Mammothmon, but
didn’t have the strength. Thankfully, Imperialdramon
arrived in time to stop the Mammothmon, and they were sent back
to the DigiWorld.
Some Mammothmon were also seen during the
final battle with MaloMyotismon.
A Mammothmon first appears in "Return
to Highton View Terrace."
Name: From the word "mammoth," a prehistoric
elephant-like creature.
MARIA
Maria
is one of the American DigiDestined, partnered with a Centarumon.
When Digimon were appearing all over the real world, Maria
showed up in Rockafeller Centre to help Davis, Mimi,
Michael and the other American DigiDestined subdue an
irate Cherrymon.
Maria and her Centarumon appeared again some
time later, when MaloMyotismon was attempting to infect both
worlds with darkness.
Maria first
appears in “Digimon World Tour, Pt. 1.”
Her voice is supplied by Dorothy Elias-Fahn.
MARINEDEVIMON
Group: Sea Animal –
Level: Ultimate – Type: Virus – Attack
Techniques: Dark Deluge, Evil Wind
MarineDevimon is
a member of the Daemon Corps. Huge in height, and equally
as deadly on land as he is in water, MarineDevimon spews
poisonous, flaming ink from his mouth.
MarineDevimon
first appeared in the waters of Odaiba bay, to menace a
cruise ship on which a wedding was taking place. T.K. and Cody
helped the ship’s passengers get to safety, as their Digimon
battled MarineDevimon. The villain fled when Zudomon
arrived on the scene.
MarineDevimon
reared his head again less than an hour later, as the kids
pursued the truck in which Ken had been taken away.
MarineDevimon smashed his way through the district, and then
engaged Shakkoumon in battle by a hospital, as T.K., Cody
and Jim Kido helped evacuate the patients. When one of
MarineDevimon’s tentacles smashed through the wall, Cody
screamed, and Shakkoumon used his Justice Beam to destroy
MarineDevimon. Cody was stunned as he watched the tentacle delete
in front of him, but realised that it had been the only way.
MarineDevimon
first appears in “Invasion of the Daemon
Corps.” His voice is supplied by Tom Wyner.
Name: From
“marine,” and “devil,” for which
“devi” is short.
MATT
Yamato
Ishida, nicknamed Matt, is a member of the DigiDestined,
partnered with Gabumon and holder of the Crest
of Friendship. Matt's little brother is T.K.,
and before their parents divorce, they lived in Highton View
Terrace, where they witnessed the battle between Greymon
and Parrotmon. Over time, their memories of the event
faded, and the brothers were then split up when their parents
divorced. Their father received custody of Matt, while their
mother got custody of T.K., and took him to live outside of Odaiba.
As such, Matt and T.K. do not see each other as much as they
would like, and Matt sometimes has trouble being the brother he
should. Matt's dad means well, but he is sometimes not as
considerate as he could be. Matt thought that his family didn't
want him, and so he decided to keep to himself, not making
friends - not becoming close to anyone, so he could never be
hurt.
Shortly after their arrival in the DigiWorld,
the kids came across a lake, with a strange boxcar sitting on a
small island there, connected to the shore by land bridge. Matt
was still trying to learn how to take care of his brother without
anyone else's help, and came off as short-tempered a few times.
However, while Matt and Gabumon stood watch as the others slept,
they were attacked by Seadramon. Gabumon Digivolved
to Garurumon for the first time to save Matt
from the serpent's clutches.
It was after the kids were separated by Devimon
and sent to different chunks of the broken up File Island
that Matt had his first major clash with Tai,
the group's leader. Matt had been sent to a frozen tundra area,
and despite Gabumon's warnings, wandered through the blizzard at
night to try and find T.K.. Gabumon protected him from the cold
with his fur, but when Tai and Agumon arrived
the next morning, Matt flew into a rage when Tai made light of
the kids' situation. The two boys began to fist fight, until the
scuffle was broken up by Mojyamon, who had been
infected by one of Devimon's Black Gears. Greymon
and Garurumon defeated him, but the seeds of bitterness
between Matt and Tai were sown.
After defeating Devimon, the kids headed to the continent of Server.
After Tai found his Crest, more arguments with
Matt followed, as he took it upon himself to protect everyone.
After Greymon corruptly Digivolved to SkullGreymon,
Tai realised his foolhardiness, but Matt was not as forgiving as Sora.
While at Piximon's training ground, Matt and Izzy
set out in search of their Crests. While talking about why they
wanted their Crests, Matt said he wanted his to "Digivolve
himself" - he wanted to learn from the experiences the Crest
would give him, to grow and mature, to become a better person. He
and Izzy found their Crests, but inadvertently tipped Etemon
off to their presence. Greymon dispatched the minion he sent, Tyrannomon.
After Tai was sucked back to Earth during the final battle with
Etemon, the DigiDestined slowly broke up without his leadership.
Soon, only Matt and T.K. were left with their Digimon.
Matt set out across a lake, promising T.K. he would be back in a
few hours. However, weeks later, he had not returned, and T.K.
meanwhile fell victim to the machinations of DemiDevimon.
What had actually happened was that Matt and Gabumon had come
across Joe and Gomamon, washing
dishes in the kitchen of Digitamamon's diner to
pay their bill. Matt agreed to help out to get the job done
faster, but DemiDevimon targeted him too, causing accidents and
making it seem as though they were Joe's fault, thus preventing
Matt's Crest from glowing. However, when Tai returned, he saved
T.K. from DemiDevimon, and they headed to the island, and
implicated DemiDevimon as the cause of the trouble. Matt's Crest
began to glow when Joe saved T.K. from Vegiemon,
and Garurumon Digivolved to WereGarurumon to
destroy Digitamamon.
When the DigiDestined returned to Earth to stop the plans of
DemiDevimon's master, Myotismon, Matt and T.K.
took the subway back to their homes. When T.K. and
Patamon had an argument, Patamon flew away, and Matt,
T.K. and Gabumon went looking for him. Instead, they found Pumpkinmon
and Gotsumon, two of Myotismon's minions, who
were helping him search for the Eighth Child - the predestined
eighth member of the DigiDestined. However, they were more
interested in having fun, and made friends with the kids.
However, Myotismon showed up and destroyed the two slackers, then
turned on Matt and T.K.. WereGarurumon was unable to defeat
Myotismon, but Angemon helped beat him back.
When the Eighth Child was revealed to be Kari,
Tai's little sister, Myotismon made his power play, and abducted
the entire population of Odaiba, save a few. Matt's dad revealed
to Matt that he somehow knew what Digimon were, and left him with
Gabumon as he went to the TV station, the source of Myotismon's
power. Tai left Kari in Matt's care, as he went to get
information, and then Sora arrived to help Matt take care of
Kari. When Phantomon, another of Myotismon's
minions, attacked with Tuskmon and
Snimon, Matt was almost badly injured, until Kari gave
herself up to stop the violence. Matt and WereGarurumon were some
of the first to be on the scene as Myotismon prepared to kill
Kari, and again battled the vampire overlord. As the other kids
and their Digimon arrived, Kari finally obtained her Digivice
and Crest, thanks to the sacrifice of Wizardmon,
and was able to Digivolve her Digimon, Gatomon,
into Angewomon, who destroyed Myotismon.
When Myotismon returned as VenomMyotismon, Matt
and Tai, in accordance with an ancient prophecy unearthed by Gennai,
allowed themselves to be struck by arrows of Hope and Light from
Angemon and Angewomon. This allowed Agumon and Gabumon to Warp-Digivolve
into their Mega stages of WarGreymon
and MetalGarurumon, who destroyed
VenomMyotismon. With his destruction, a rift to the DigiWorld
opened again, and the kids realised they had to go back. Sombre,
Matt said his goodbyes to his parents, thinking their caring
attitude meant nothing.
After the kids defeated MetalSeadramon, the
first of the Dark Masters - four evil Mega level
Digimon who had conquered the DigiWorld - Matt's remorse bubbled
to the surface, and he took it out on Tai. Screaming at him, he
claimed he wanted to do nothing but fight, and didn't care about
the feelings of anyone else. Sora broke the fight up, but the
grudges remained. Shortly thereafter, when T.K. was captured by Puppetmon,
Matt went into a panic. The kids were attacked by Kiwimon,
who was sent to distract them with Puppetmon played his deadly
games with T.K.. Matt demanded that Kiwimon tell them where T.K.
was, but Tai said they needed to defeat him in battle first. Matt
snapped, and screamed at Tai: "First we find T.K., then we
fight YOUR war!" Matt tried to have Gabumon Digivolve... but
his Crest... had lost its glow. When Birdramon
destroyed Kiwimon, Matt yelled at Sora also, fearing that they
would never find T.K.. However, seconds later, T.K. appeared,
having escaped Puppetmon on his own.
Realisation hit hard for Matt. He thought that his purpose had
been to look after T.K. - the way he saw it, he had no other use.
But now that T.K. was able to take care of himself... what use
was he? Matt skulked off into the forest, wanting to be alone
with his thoughts. He explained to Gabumon that, despite his
wishes, he felt he had not grown as a person in any way. Gabumon
tried to convince him otherwise, but then, Cherrymon,
another of Puppetmon's minions, appeared, and used his powers to
convince Matt that it was Tai's fault he was unable to grow.
Gabumon decided to convince Matt that friendship DID matter - by
standing by him, no matter what. The Crest's glow returned, and
Gabumon Digivolved to MetalGarurumon - who wound up battling
WarGreymon, as Matt and Tai fist fought. Matt didn't want to be a
DigiDestined; he could not see what use he was to the team, and
wanted to know who had picked them for the task. The fight was
interrupted by a mysterious entity from the DigiWorld's past,
which possessed Kari's body, and showed the kids the true story
behind their selection as the DigiDestined. Matt realised he had
been wrong - but he still needed to 'find himself.' He and
Gabumon left the team.
Matt returned very briefly, to help the other kids defeat
Puppetmon, telling him that he could never be victorious, as he
had no friendship in his life. MetalGarurumon destroyed Puppetmon
with his Metal Wolf Claw, but Matt hastily left again.
While wandering the DigiWorld, Matt and Gabumon came across a
cave, which somehow fed off of Matt's fears and misery. Matt sank
into depression, and the cave began to absorb him, until Gabumon
snapped him out of it by biting his leg. Matt released his
pent-up feelings, telling Gabumon about how he felt no-one wanted
him, and how he only fought with Tai because of jealously - he
was jealous of the fact that Tai had always been a better brother
to T.K. than he had been. Matt and Gabumon promised to be
"friends for life," and the cave disappeared around
them. They then met up with Joe and Gomamon, and had to free Sora
from the same cave, which, this time, was feeding on her fear of
her own inadequacies. The succeeded, and headed back to the peak
of Spiral Mountain, where MetalGarurumon joined
WarGreymon in battling Piedmon, the last of the
Dark Masters, as Tai and Matt reconciled their differences, and
admitted that their friendship was one of the most important
things to them.
During the ensuing battle,
Matt and Tai were quickly turned into key chains by Piedmon's
magic, but were later restored by MagnaAngemon's
MagnaAntidote. After Piedmon was defeated, the kids were
immediately attacked by Apocalymon, the
DigiWorld's ultimate evil. He destroyed their Crests, and deleted
their digital bodies... but the kids then realised that the power
was not in the Crests, but had been inside them all along. They
reconstituted their forms, and used their Digivices to turn the
power of Apocalymon's Total Annihilation attack against him,
destroying him. The DigiWorld was reformatted to normalcy, and
Gabumon and Matt said their goodbyes.
Eight months later, when Diaboromon menaced the
Internet, Matt and T.K. were visiting their grandmother in the
country. The elderly woman wasn't quite all there, and Tai
couldn't quite manage to convey the fact that he needed to speak
to them over the phone. After Kabuterimon and
Greymon were defeated in battle, Tai finally contacted Matt via
their computers, and WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon came into play
to battle Diaboromon and stop the nuclear launch he had
instigated. Both of the Digimon were defeated, but when e-mails
of hope, sent by children around the world watching the battle on
their computers, were received, their energy re-powered the two
Megas - and they fused their forms into one, new, more powerful
Digimon - Omnimon! With thirty seconds to go,
Izzy rerouted the kids' e-mails, slowing down Diaboromon's
motions, allowing Omnimon to impale him through the head,
destroying him and terminating the launch.
In May 2000, Matt and the other DigiDestined were called back
into the DigiWorld by Gennai, and instructed to release
the powers of their Crests, creating a seal that would protect
the DigiWorld from evil. However, as a side effect, Gabumon and
the Digimon lost their ability to Digivolve to Ultimate.
Also, Matt moved beyond his simple harmonica, and began to play
bass guitar. He and some of his friends formed a band, which they
called “The Teenage Wolves,” who soon became
popular in Odaiba.
Four years later, when the Digimon
Emperor began his takeover, Matt was unable to travel to the
DigiWorld with Tai, Izzy and Sora because he had a band
rehearsal. A short time later, though, after playing a gig and
meeting June Motomiya, Matt headed for the DigiWorld with
the new DigiDestined, in response to a distress call from
Gabumon. They managed to liberate the village of Santa Caria from
the Emperor’s hold, destroying his Control Spire
there.
When Kari was trapped in the city of Gardromon,
Matt’s job was to create a cover story for Davis, who
had gone with T.K. to rescue her. Unfortunately for Matt, June
(Davis’s sister), realised that he was lying, but promised
not to tell her parents if Matt agreed to go on a date with her.
Matt was left in a daze as she shut the door in his face,
wondering how that had happened.
When the Emperor gained control of MetalGreymon
via a Dark Spiral, Matt and Tai joined up with the new
DigiDestined to pursue and rescue him. They were sidetracked
along the way, however, by the discovery of the Digi-Egg of
Friendship. Matt was unable to lift it, and nor were any of
the other DigiDestined, although Davis didn’t even try
properly. Garurumon arrived to help try and destroy the Dark
Spiral on MetalGreymon, but it was only when Davis came to terms
with his fears of hurting MetalGreymon that the Digi-Egg
activated, and Veemon became Raidramon to help Matt
and Garurumon destroy the Spiral and free Agumon.
When the kids were celebrating the
anniversaries of their first trip to the DigiWorld, and the
defeat of Myotismon, T.K. visited Matt and their father. The next
day, Matt and T.K. took a walk in town, where they recalled their
encounter with Gotsumon and Pumpkinmon. The day after that, the
kids were all confronted by Wizardmon’s ghost, which gave
them a cryptic warning for the future.
When the location of the Digimon
Emperor’s base was discovered, the new DigiDestined resolved
to stay in the DigiWorld until it had been destroyed. Matt, Tai
and Izzy all went on a camping trip to act as a “cover
story” for them. June wanted to come along, but before Matt
let her get in the van, she told her to close her eyes so he
could give her a present. She complied... and Matt told his dad
to drive off!
Matt, Tai and Izzy were kept informed of
everything going on in the DigiWorld, until the Emperor was
defeated – at which point June arrived at the campsite. Matt
wound up taking the bus home with her – she apparently
wasn’t bothered by his abject screams of horror.
Some time later, when the DigiDestined were
attempting to stop BlackWarGreymon from destroying the Destiny
Stones, Cody had a talk with Matt, as he had noticed
changes in T.K.’s personality when the powers of darkness
ever got involved in their adventures. Matt explained to Cody
about how T.K. had lost Angemon four years before, during the
battle with Devimon, and how he had never really gotten over that
fear. Matt then called T.K. to let him know about Cody’s
worries.
At Christmas, Matt and his band had a major
gig lined up, which was apparently televised. Before the show
went on, Sora came to deliver some homemade cookies to him. When
Tai asked her if she was going the concert with anyone, she said
that he wanted to be free, in case Matt was available afterwards.
Tai was dismayed to discover Sora’s affection for Matt, but
still encouraged her to give him the cookies.
Once the show had begun, in the middle of a
performance of “Turn Around,” a DarkTyrannomon
and some Bakemon smashed their way into the auditorium,
having travelled through a Digi-Port that had been opened
by Arukenimon, who had also brought a Control Spire to
Earth. As the auditorium crumbled, Matt raced to save Sora from
debris (having reciprocated her affection off-screen).
Once the Armour Digimon destroyed the Spire, Matt and the
others had their Digimon Digivolve to round up the wild Digimon
and send them back to the DigiWorld.
The following day, Digimon began to appear
all over the world as Arukenimon opened Digi-Ports across the
globe. Gabumon and the other Digimon had their power to Digivolve
to Ultimate restored by an energy boost from Azulongmon’s
Digi-Core, courtesy of Gennai. Matt and Gabumon then headed to
Mexico City with Ken and Wormmon to round up the
wild Digimon there. With help from José, Gennai’s
Mexican counterpart, they managed to get inside some Mayan ruins,
where they met Rosa, a Mexican DigiDestined, and her
partner, a Gotsumon. They then found a Minotarumon and a Dokugumon
inside the ruins, and Matt and Gabumon angered them so that they
would chase them outside. Gabumon became WereGarurumon, and he, Stingmon
and Monochromon (the Digivolved form of Rosa’s
Gotsumon) defeated them and sent them back to the DigiWorld.
Back in Odaiba the next day, the Daemon
Corps appeared, searching for Ken, and the Dark Spore
within him. Matt, Sora, Yolei and their Digimon came to
aid Kari and Angewomon against LadyDevimon, who fled at
the sight of reinforcements. WereGarurumon was then defeated in
battle by SkullSatamon, and he and the other original
seven Digimon gave up their power to Digivolve to Ultimate once
again, to energise Imperialdramon, allowing him to Mode
Change to his Fighter Mode to destroy the villain.
Matt and the other DigiDestined helped to keep watch
on the children that Oikawa had implanted with Dark
Spores. After BlackWarGreymon’s death, he, Joe, Izzy, and
the new DigiDestined were all keeping watch on Highton View
Terrace, as the Spore-implanted kids began to return there, at
Oikawa’s command, while Tai and Sora trailed Noriko,
whose Spore had already flowered. Izzy asked Matt if he was
bothered by Sora being with Tai, and Matt replied by saying that
he trusted both of them. Then, Oikawa arrived, and opened the
portal to what he thought was the DigiWorld. The new DigiDestined
raced through it, after him, as Matt tried – but failed
– to stop them.
Within an hour, the world was blanketed with
darkness, as MaloMyotismon began to infect both worlds
with his dark energy. Matt and the other DigiDestined went to the
summer camp they had gone to four years before, with their
families in tow, and travelled through the gate there, into the
DigiWorld, along with all the other DigiDestined from all over
the world. The power of the hopes and dreams of the Spore
children destroyed MaloMyotismon’s body, and then everyone
used their Digivices to give Imperialdramon a power boost,
enabling him to use his Giga Crusher attack to destroy
Myotismon’s spirit.
Three months later, it was discovered that
Diaboromon had survived his battle with Omnimon four years
beforehand, and had spent the time in between reproducing himself
as millions of Kuramon. The Kuramon were
beginning to appear in the real world by transmitting themselves
through e-mail, so while the newer DigiDestined set about
rounding them up, Matt, Tai and Omnimon headed into the Internet
to battle Diaboromon again. With help from Kari, T.K., Angemon
and Angewomon, they succeeded, but Davis had played into
Diaboromon's hands, having demanded the gate be opened for him so
he could follow Kari in. Yolei opened the gate so wide that even
though Diaboromon had been destroyed, all the Kuramon were able
to escape through the gate into the real world, where they merged
into Armageddemon in Tokyo Harbour. Omnimon was
immobilised by Armageddemon as Matt and Tai could only watch,
stunned - then, Sora arrived and brought them both to their
senses. Omnimon gave his power to Imperialdramon, who transformed
to his Paladin Mode and destroyed Armageddemon.
Twenty-five years into the future, Matt and
Gabumon become an astronaut team, and perform the first manned
(and monned!) landing on Mars. Matt and Sora are married, with
two children, a boy and a girl, who have a Tsunomon and a Yokomon
for partners. Note that while it is never actually stated in
dialogue that Matt and Sora are married, it’s obvious from
their children – the child shown as Matt’s son has
Sora’s hair colour, while the child shown as Sora’s
daughter has Matt’s hair colour. Despite theorising from
fans, it is confirmed that they are not divorced.
Matt first appears in "And
so it begins..." His voice is supplied by
Michael Reisz.
MEGA
The Mega level is the “final” level of Digivolution,
above Ultimate. It appears that a Digimon reaching the
Mega level through natural Digivolution is extremely rare. It
normally takes a special influx of energy, or other, unnatural
circumstances.
The first Mega Digimon was VenomMyotismon,
who attained the level by having his body discorporated and then
recreated with excess energy. WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon
were the next two, created when Agumon and Gabumon
received energy boosts from Angemon and Angewomon’s
arrows of Hope and Light, in accordance with an ancient prophecy
unearthed by Gennai.
Leomon gained the ability to
Digivolve from his Champion form directly into his Mega
level of SaberLeomon after repeated exposure to energy
from the kids’ Digivices. Etemon managed to
become MetalEtemon after his digital information was
reconfigured in digital limbo. The four Dark Masters
apparently were “born” as Mega level Digimon, and did
not need to Digivolve.
The only Digimon who actually went from
Ultimate to Mega without some sort of assist was Infermon,
who Digivolved into his Mega form of Diaboromon while
battling WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon on the Internet. To combat
him, WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon combined into a new, more
powerful Mega-level Digimon, Omnimon. Four years later,
Diaboromon rebirth himself in the form of millions of Kuramon,
who merged together to form a new Mega Digimon, Armageddemon.
Angemon and Angewomon reached their own Mega
levels while battling Kerpymon. This adventure was out
of continuity, and does not impact on the ongoing series. No
explanation was given for their ability to Digivolve in the US
movie, but in the Japanese version, they simply instructed T.K.
and Kari to “use their crests,” and they were able to
go to their Mega forms.
BlackWarGreymon was also
“born” at the Mega level, but he was not truly a real
Digimon. The four Harmonious Ones were also
“born” at the Mega level, if a term like
“born” can even really apply to beings of their kind.
Paildramon attained his Mega form of Imperialdramon
thanks to an influx of energy from Azulongmon’s
Digi-Core. Imperialdramon was later able to gain even more power
and Mode Change to his Fighter Mode when the original
eight Digimon gave up the power that Azulongmon had given them to
energise him.
Daemon is a mystery. Was he born a
Mega? Did he Digivolve? Nobody knows.
MaloMyotismon is also a Mega level
Digimon, who reached his form thanks to a massive intake of dark
energy from the Dark Spores.
Despite what people may tell you, this is no
level above Mega. All the Digimon who appear that they may have
gone beyond the Mega level (like Omnimon, Imperialdramon
Fighter/Paladin Mode and MaloMyotismon), have simply gotten
stronger, yet remained Megas.
The first Mega level Digimon to appear
are VenomMyotismon, WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, in “Prophecy.”
MEGA-DIGIVOLVE
The process by which Paildramon
becomes Imperialdramon. It is not known if
“Mega-Digivolve” is the normal name for an Ultimate-to-Mega
Digivolution, or if it is a special case, caused by the
influx of energy from Azulongmon’s Digi-Core.
Mega-Digivolving first occurs in “Dramon
Power.” Previously, in “Digimon:
The Movie,” Angewomon had
Digivolved to Magnadramon, which is an
Ultimate-to-Mega Digivolve, but she did not say
“Mega-Digivolve.”
MEGADRAMON
Group: Dark Dragon - Level: Ultimate
- Type: Virus - Attack Technique: Dark Side
Attack, Parry Force
The first Megadramon the kids encountered was a minion of Machinedramon,
the Dark Master of the digital city. When
Machinedramon discovered that the DigiDestined
kids had entered his city and accessed his computer network, he
sent his armies to destroy them. Among the forces were
Megadramon, and his companion, Gigadramon.
Megadramon and Gigadramon attacked Tai, Izzy
and their Digimon in a hospital, but when they
escaped, Machinedramon initiated Plan Elimin8, and had Megadramon
and Gigadramon use their Dark Side Attacks to level the city in
hopes of destroying the DigiDestined. Angemon's
Hand of Fate attack saw the two dragon Digimon off.
Four years later, when Digimon were appearing all over Earth, a
Megadramon appeared in Odaiba along with several other
wild Digimon. It was defeated by Paildramon and
sent back to the DigiWorld with the other Digimon.
A Megadramon first appears in "My
Sister's Keeper."
Name: From the words "mega" and
"dragon," which "dra" is short for.
MEGAKABUTERIMON
Group: Insectoid
- Level: Ultimate - Type: Vaccine
- Attack Techniques: Horn Buster, Electro Shocker
MegaKabuterimon Digivolves from Kabuterimon,
the Champion level Digimon
partner of Izzy of the DigiDestined.
When he uses his Horn Buster attack, a beam of energy blasts
outwards from the trident-like horn on his forehead. He has jets
mounted on his back that endow him with the power of flight, and
his shell-armour is extremely tough.
After Tai disappeared following the final battle
with Etemon, Izzy and Tentomon
wandered the DigiWorld looking for Gennai.
After some months of searching, they had still not found him, but
fell afoul of Vademon, who, working with DemiDevimon,
captured Izzy and stole his curiosity. Izzy was reduced to a
zombie like state, and Tentomon de-Digivolved all the way back to
his Baby stage of Pabumon.
Pabumon, fortunately, was able to snap Izzy out of his trance,
and reclaimed his Tag and Crest,
which Vademon had stolen. Izzy reclaimed his curiosity, and
Pabumon Digivolved back to Tentomon, then to Kabuterimon to fight
Vademon. Then, Izzy's Crest glowed for the first time, and
Kabuterimon Digivolved to MegaKabuterimon to defeat Vademon.
MegaKabuterimon appeared again to help the kids and other Digimon
infiltrate Myotismon's castle, so they could
pass through the portal to Earth, and stop Myotismon from
locating the Eighth Child, the predestined eighth member of the
DigiDestined. Some time later, when the kids were back on Earth,
and after the Eighth Child was revealed to be Kari,
Tai's little sister, MegaKabuterimon appeared to battle Myotismon
atop the Odaiba TV station, along with the other
kids' Ultimate level Digimon. During the battle, Kari's Digimon, Gatomon,
Digivolved to Angewomon, and destroyed
Myotismon.
When the kids returned to the DigiWorld to
battle the Dark Masters after defeating Myotismon's Digivolved
form of VenomMyotismon, MegaKabuterimon appeared
again for the first battle, but, as with the other Digimon, was
quickly regressed to his In-Training form of Motimon
by Puppetmon's Puppet Pummel attack.
MegaKabuterimon didn't appear again until the kids were in final
battle with Puppetmon, when he and Garudamon
appeared to hold off Puppetmon's living mansion. At this time,
Tentomon gained a little more control over his Digivolutions, and
only regressed to Rookie stage after becoming
Ultimate.
While on their way to battle Piedmon, the last
of the Dark Masters, Tai, Izzy, Kari, T.K. and Sora
ran into his bodyguard, LadyDevimon. As Tai sent
T.K. and Sora to locate the missing Matt, Joe
and Mimi, Angewomon took LadyDevimon on.
MegaKabuterimon appeared to help her out, and LadyDevimon was
destroyed.
After the whole team was reunited, Piedmon called out his Vilemon
horde, and MegaKabuterimon appeared again to battle,
atomising several with his Horn Buster attack. After Piedmon was
defeated, the kids were thrust into battle with Apocalymon,
the DigiWorld's ultimate evil. MegaKabuterimon and the other
Ultimates battled him, but were turned back to Rookie stages by
his Reverse Digivolve attack. He then destroyed the kids' Crests,
and deleted their digital bodies. As the kids and their Digimon
floated in digital limbo, they realised that the power to
Digivolve had not been in the Crests - it had been inside them
all along. They reconstituted their digital bodies, and their
Digimon Digivolved back to Ultimate, and, as MegaKabuterimon and
the others held of Apocalymon's attacks, the kids Digivices
turned the power of Apocalymon's Total Annihilation attack back
on him, destroying him utterly, finally freeing the DigiWorld
from the influence of evil.
In May 2000, Tentomon lost the ability to Digivolve to Ultimate
when Izzy and the other kids gave up the powers of their Crests
to seal the DigiWorld off from evil.
Four years later, Tentomon and the other
Digimon had this power restored to them thanks to an energy boost
from one of Azulongmon’s Digi-Cores. Tentomon headed
for China with Izzy, Kari and Gatomon to help round up the wild
Digimon that had appeared there. As MegaKabuterimon, he
and Angewomon had surprisingly little to do, as Jackie,
Gennai’s Chinese counterpart, helped Kari and Izzy
communicated with the Poi Brothers. They then airlifted
them to the India/China border, there the eldest Poy
Brother’s Octomon helped convince the Chinese army to
let the gathered Digimon cross the border.
When everyone was back in Odaiba,
MegaKabuterimon appeared again to help battle the evil Daemon
Corps. Unfortunately, he was low on energy as a result of having
been in the real world for so long, and reverted back into
Tentomon. Tentomon and the other seven original Digimon then gave
up their power to Digivolve to Ultimate once again, to energise Imperialdramon,
enabling him to Mode Change into his Fighter Mode to
destroy SkullSatamon.
MegaKabuterimon did not appear again after
this.
MegaKabuterimon first appears in "No
Questions, Please." His voice is supplied
by Jeff Nimoy. His Digivolution sequence doesn’t appear in Digimon
Adventure 02. Name: From the words "mega"
and the Japanese word "kabutomushi," which means
beetle.
MEGASEADRAMON
Group: Sea
Animal - Level: Ultimate - Type: Data
- Attack Techniques: Thunder Javelin, Mega Ice Blast
The first MegaSeadramon seen was a minion of Myotismon.
When Myotismon had invaded Odaiba in his search
for the Eighth Child, he shrouded the city with a mystical fog
bank, and stationed MegaSeadramon to guard the perimeter. When Joe
and T.K. arrived on Ikkakumon's
back, attempting to get into the city, MegaSeadramon attacked.
When T.K. was in peril, Joe realised it was up to him to save
him, and his Crest began to glow for the first time. Ikkakumon Digivolved
to Zudomon and defeated MegaSeadramon.
Four years later, a MegaSeadramon under the influence of one of
the Digimon Emperor’s Dark Spirals trapped the
new DigiDestined in an offshore oil platform. Cody
was able to escape in a submersible, and called on Joe for help.
As Ikkakumon held MegaSeadramon off, Joe and Whamon freed
the kids. Cody then picked up and activated the Digi-Egg of
Reliability, and Armadillomon became Submarimon.
Submarimon and Ikkakumon then worked together to destroy the Dark
Spiral controlling MegaSeadramon.
Ikkakumon identified this
MegaSeadramon as “his old foe.” This implies that it is
the same one he fought four years before – after all, it was
never shown to delete, it simply sank beneath the waves.
Some time later, the DigiDestined called on
Ikkakumon to help them protect the sixth Destiny Stone
from BlackWarGreymon. Ikkakumon called in reinforcements
in the form of a shoal of Dolphmon, and a MegaSeadramon.
Despite their efforts, however, BlackWarGreymon parted the
waters, washing them away, and destroyed the stone.
It’s probably safe to assume that
this MegaSeadramon is the same one as was freed from the
Emperor’s control. But as it’s helping out, it may not
be the one who served under Myotismon after all. Then again, his
disposition might just have improved over four years.
A MegaSeadramon first appears in "City
Under Siege."
Name: From the words "mega," "sea", and
"dragon", which "dra" is short for.
MEKANORIMON
Group: Machine - Level: Champion
- Type: Virus - Attack Technique: Twin Beam
It would appear that Mekanorimon are not actually sentient
beings, but rather, are mindless mechanical Digimon, who
serve whoever happens to have control of them.
The kids first encountered Mekanorimon when they were being shown
images from the past by an ancient mysterious entity somehow
linked to the DigiWorld. They saw how Piedmon
led a small army of Mekanorimon and Gardromon in
attacking the base of the mysterious group who created the Digivices,
Tags and Crests. It was then
that Gennai was able to steal a Mekanorimon, by ousting it's
Bakemon pilot.
Mekanorimon first appeared in real time when the kids were in Machinedramon's
city. When Izzy logged on to the city's network,
it tipped Machinedramon off to their location, and he dispatched
his troops to destroy them. A contingent of Mekanorimon and Tankmon,
along with Megadramon and Gigadramon,
attacked the kids in a hospital, but they got away. Izzy then
used a computer trick to mask their location, keeping them safe.
We can assume here that if Mekanorimon are not sentient, then
they were acting under a pre-programmed set of instructions, or
were being remote-controlled by Machinedramon and his Hagurumon.
Gennai retained the Mekanorimon he had stolen years before, and
used it for transport towards the end of the kids' adventures,
when he travelled to the Wall of Fire at Centarumon's
behest, and to meet up with the kids after they beat Apocalymon.
Four years later, the Digimon Emperor was shown to have
multiple Mekanorimon under his control. No Dark Rings or
Dark Spirals were visible on them, once again indicating that
they are not capable of independent thought. A squad of them were
dispatched by the Emperor to fly into the Dark Whirlpool,
but they simply vanished without trace. Undaunted, the Emperor
piloted another Mekanorimon personally, down into the whirlpool,
where he came face to face with Devimon. Devimon gave him
a warning to beware the darkness, but the Emperor merely laughed,
and used the Mekanorimon to harvest some of Devimon’s data,
for later use in Kimeramon.
Mekanorimon first appear in "The
Ultimate Clash." They first appear in real
time in "My Sister's Keeper."
Name: From the word "mechanical."
MERAMON
Group: Fire - Level: Champion
- Type: Data - Attack Techniques:
Fireball, Roaring Flame
Meramon is a flaming Digimon, who lives atop Mihirashi
Mountain on File Island. He was
described by the Yokomon who lived in the
village at the foot of the mountain as fierce - but when he was
infected by a Black Gear, he could have been
described as timid, compared to what he became! He came running
down the mountain, towards the Yokomon village, where the DigiDestined
kids were staying. He beat the kids' Rookie
Digimon around, but then, Biyomon Digivolved
to Birdramon for the first time, and
forced the Black Gear out of his body with her Meteor Wing
attack. Later, Meramon showed up to help the kids build a raft to
take them to the continent of Server.
When Tai was temporarily returned to the real world, he could see
a Meramon on a news report, as one of the Digimon that was
flickering in and out of phase with Earth and causing the
abnormal weather patterens that were plaguing the globe (in this
case, a drought).
Much later, when the Dark Masters took control
of the DigiWorld, Meramon encountered Mimi
and Joe, who had left the DigiDestined team,
because they no longer wanted to fight. He agreed to come with
them and help them battle the Dark Masters. He aided the
DigiDestined in battle with Piedmon and his Vilemon
horde, and departed with their other allies afterward.
Four years later, several Meramon were seen under the control of
the Digimon Emperor. As the Emperor set about capturing Greymon,
he kept the new DigiDestined out of his way by distracting them
with the Meramon. When he tried to make Greymon Digivolve
to MetalGreymon, he instead became SkullGreymon.
The Emperor was unable to control SkullGreymon, who sent the
Meramon fleeing, and then destroyed the Control Spire in
the area.
Some time later, when Digimon were appearing
all over the world, Mina, an Indian DigiDestined, was
shown to have a Meramon for a partner. She and Meramon were
attempting to lead wild Digimon into China, so they could be sent
back to the DigiWorld, but could not cross the border because of
the Chinese military. Kari, Izzy and one of the Poi
Brothers were able to organise a way to get them across, and
they were all sent back to the DigiWorld. Mina’s Meramon
appeared again when MaloMyotismon was attempting to infect
both worlds with darkness.
The Meramon that became allies with the
DigiDestined first appears in "Biyomon
Gets Firepower." His voice is supplied
by Peter Spellos. Mina’s Meramon first appears in “Digimon
World Tour, Pt. 1.” His voice is also
supplied by Peter Spellos.
Name: From the Japanese word,
"meramera," meaning to burn.
METALETEMON
Group: Android - Level: Mega
- Type: Virus - Attack Techniques:
Banana Slip, Metal Punch
MetalEtemon is the Digivolved form of Etemon,
the evil simian-like Digimon who controlled the
deserts on the continent of Server. After Etemon
was blasted through a warp by MetalGreymon's
Giga Blaster attack, his digital information was scattered across
digital limbo, where he reconfigured himself, splicing his data
in with that of his Dark Network, with which he
had bonded before his destruction. The splicing process
eventually Digivolved him to the Mega level, and he returned to
the DigiWorld, plummeting from the sky among the
remains of the Network like a meteor, and emerging from the
wreckage as MetalEtemon. As MetalEtemon, his armoured skin is
constructed from Chrome DigiZoid.
Meanwhile, Joe and Mimi of the
DigiDestined, who had left the group because they no longer
wished to fight, had nursed Ogremon, who had
been injured by the explosive impact of the Network, back to
health. They were then set upon by Puppetmon,
but MetalEtemon arrived to break up the battle. The enraged
Puppetmon lashed out and MetalEtemon, and they began fighting,
allowing Mimi, Joe and Ogremon to escape with the help of SaberLeomon.
When Puppetmon dubbed MetalEtemon "no fun" and headed
back to his mansion, MetalEtemon set off looking for Mimi and Joe
again. He soon found them, hiding out at Digitamamon's
diner, and battle ensued once more. During the fight, MetalEtemon
called down a blast of dark energy upon Mimi, but SaberLeomon
leapt in front of it, taking it's brunt himself to save her. Zudomon
then hurled his hammer - also made from Chrome DigiZoid
- at MetalEtemon, shattering his armour. The weakened SaberLeomon
then simply plunged his claw straight through MetalEtemon's body,
destroying him. MetalEtemon dissolved to digi-dust, promising
that the kids would "pay big time."
MetalEtemon first appears in "Etemon's
Comeback Tour." He dies in "Ogremon's
Honor." His voice is supplied by Richard
Epcar.
Name: From the word "metal," and the
Japanese word "etekatte," meaning to do things at your
own speed, in your own way, for your own convenience.
METALGARURUMON
Group: Android -
Level: Mega - Type: Vaccine -
Attack Techniques: Metal Wolf Claw, Metal Wolf Snout, Ice Wolf
Bite, Giga Missile
MetalGarurumon is the Mega stage of Gabumon, the
Digimon partner of Matt of the DigiDestined.
He is capable of flight, and is out-fitted with missile launchers
in his legs. Just about every orifice on MetalGarurumon's body is
a weapon, from his mouth, to his eyes, to his back, to his snout
- when he uses his Ice Wolf Bite attack, he fires them all at
once. He can project a beam of freezing energy from his mouth -
his Metal Wolf Claw attack - and from his snout - his Metal Wolf
Snout technique. He can fire his Giga Missile from his stomach.
When Myotismon regenerated himself as VenomMyotismon,
none of the DigiDestined's Digimon were powerful enough to stop
him. In accordance with an ancient prophecy unearthed by Gennai,
Matt and Tai allowed themselves to be struck
with arrows of Hope and Light from Angemon and Angewomon,
which gave Gabumon and Agumon the power to Warp-Digivolve
into their Mega forms of MetalGarurumon and WarGreymon.
With help from the power of the kids' Crests,
they destroyed VenomMyotismon.
When the kids returned to the DigiWorld to
battle the Dark Masters, MetalGarurumon and
WarGreymon appeared to battle Piedmon for the
first time. After that initial confrontation, Matt began to grow
steadily further from his team-mates, seeing himself as useless.
His short temper and rudeness to his friends stopped his Crest
from glowing, preventing Gabumon from Digivolving. When Matt was
duped by Cherrymon into fighting Tai, Gabumon
promised to stand by him no matter what, causing the Crest's glow
to return, and allowing him to become MetalGarurumon again.
MetalGarurumon then challenged WarGreymon to battle, to prove his
loyalty to Matt. The two Megas fought briefly, but the battle was
interrupted by a mysterious entity from the DigiWorld's past.
Matt left the team thereafter, but he and MetalGarurumon returned
very briefly to destroy Puppetmon. Matt went his
own way then, until Joe found him. They were
then found by Sora and T.K.,
and brought to the site of Tai's battle with Piedmon, where
Gabumon Warp-Digivolved again, and MetalGarurumon joined
WarGreymon in battle against Piedmon. However, they were quickly
turned into key chains by the villain's magic, but restored by MagnaAngemon's
MagnaAntidote technique. Then, during the battle with Piedmon's Vilemon
horde, MetalGarurumon and WarGreymon knocked him through
MagnaAngemon's Gate of Destiny, finishing him off. MetalGarurumon
then participated in the final two battle with Apocalymon,
and helped the save the DigiWorld.
In March 2000, when Diaboromon menaced the
Internet, MetalGarurumon again joined with WarGreymon in battling
the enemy. However, Diaboromon proved to powerful for them - but
when the energy from thousands of e-mails sent by children
watching the battle on their computers re-energised them, they
actually fused into one, new, more powerful Digimon - Omnimon!
With thirty seconds to go, Izzy rerouted the
kids’ e-mails, using them to slow Diaboromon down, and then,
Omnimon impaled him through the head, destroying him and
terminating the nuclear launch he and planned.
In May 2000, Gabumon lost his ability to Digivolve to
either Ultimate or Mega, when Matt and the other DigiDestined
gave up the powers of their Crests to seal the DigiWorld off from
evil. He temporarily regained it four years later, and Digivolved
to WereGarurumon using it, but had to give it up again,
along with the other seven original Digimon, to power up Imperialdramon.
Agumon gained more power from Azulongmon, enabling him to
become WarGreymon again, but Gabumon did not, leaving him unable
to become MetalGarurumon.
It is apparent that the Digimon's power to restore to Ultimate
and beyond was eventually restored, as three months later,
Gabumon was able to merge with Agumon into Omnimon to battle
Diaboromon again. He did not become MetalGarurumon directly, but
it seems likely that he would now be able to.
MetalGarurumon first appears in "Prophecy."
His voice is supplied by Kirk Thornton.
Name: From the word "metal" and the Japanese word
"garuru," being the sound of a growl.
