Digimon Adventure
After being exposed to the power of the DigiDestined's Digivices a few times when he was under the control of Devimon, Leomon had inherited the ability to Digivolve to his Mega form (skipping the ultimate stage). But there's one problem: he was unable to control it at times. He rescued Mimi, Palmon, Joe, Gomamon and Ogremon from being found by MetalEtemon and took them to where Digitamamon's restaurant was. They encountered an Otamamon and Gekomon there. When MetalEtemon attacked, Leomon Digivolved to SaberLeomon to fight him. He threw himself in front of an attack heading toward Mimi, getting mortally injured in the process. Gomamon Digivolved immediately to Zudomon, attacked with his hammer sparks but could not hurt MetalEtemon since his body was coated with digimetal. However, when Zudomon then threw his hammer at him, it cracked his body because the hammer was also made by digimetal. With all the strength left, SaberLeomon punched his claw into the cracked wound, defeating MetalEtemon and reverted back to Leomon before he died.

Digimon Savers
A SaberLeomon larger than normal was seen in a flashback, where it attacked the research group that Masaru Daimon's father, Suguru Daimon, was a member of.
