Andromon was the first Ultimate-Level Digimon which the DigiDestined met while they were on the File Island. During this time, he was controlled by one of Devimon's Black Gears and thus attacked the kids when they entered the factory in which he lived. However, Tentomon digivolved to Kabuterimon and freed Andromon from the gear.

When the Dark Masters took control over the Digital World, Andromon fought against Machinedramon. He was the first good Digimon to find the DigiDestined after Machinedramon sent them underground. When he first ran into Tai and Izzy, he originally thought they were Machinedramon's henchmen. Andromon said that he was trying to round up a resistance against Machinedramon. When Machinedramon broke through and found the DigiDestined, Andromon fought him to give the kids some time. Agumon was able to digivolve into WarGreymon, who then defeated the Dark Master. Andromon later helped the DigiDestined fight against Piedmon, but like most of them, he was turned into a key chain. After he was revived by MagnaAngemon, he aided the rest of the DigiDestined in fighting Piedmon and his Vilemon army.

Digimon 02

 * Michael Sorich & Yanada Kiyoyuki reprise their repective roles as Andromon.

Andromon made a reappearance as a slave of the Digimon Emperor, controlled by a Dark Ring. With Kari stranded at Full Metal City, the Digimon Emperor decided to send Andromon. The rest of the DigiDestined's Digimon could not defeat Andromon. It took Kari's tears and pleas to make Andromon remember her and the previous DigiDestined. After realizing who she was, he broke the Dark Ring from his neck and destroyed the Control Spire, freeing the Guardromon in the city. Andromon's ability to fight the Dark Ring was the first evidence that the Dark Rings could not successfully control Ultimate-level Digimon, as the Digimon Emperor soon discovered when he captured Agumon and tried to make him digivolve into Ultimate form.

In the Digital World, Rika and the others saw an Andromon near a lake. They first thought Andromon would fight, but realized that Andromon was on their side. After Orochimon appeared, Andromon battled him but was losing. When Leomon came and Orochimon disappeared, Andromon was a heroic figure who tried to liberate the Gekomon from Orochimon. After taking too many injuries, however, he regressed to Guardromon.

Andromon was among the Digimon which met with several X Digimon to discuss about Yggdrasil's plans. However it turned out that Andromon was on Yggdrasil's side and had submitted the infos of the meeting to the Royal Knights. When Omnimon appeared and attacked the X Digimon, he at first was glad but when Omnimon also attacked him and his comrades he realized that WarGreymon X was right the whole time.
