Andromon

Andromon is a fictional character from the Digimon franchise, an Ultimate Level Android Digimon. He was created as a more machine-based cyborg Digimon, able to defeat a weaker Ultimate Level Digimon in a single blow. He lacks much emotion and acts only in accordance with his programming. He is described as being one of the most powerful Digimon of all, his body being a tireless machine capable of almost anything, including taking on multiple Digimon much larger than him with little to no effort.

Andromon's name (pronounced An-droh-mon) comes from the words Android, a robot who is made to resemble a human, and "mon", short for monster.

 * Gattling Attack (Gattling Missiles): He has twin missile launchers concealed under his chest plate that fire organic missiles in the form of fish. The missiles can open their mouths to reveal machine guns and appear to be capable of selecting and following their own targets, as shown in the anime when a missle knocked to the side changed its course and attacked a new target with out any verbal order from Andromon.

Digimon Adventure

Andromon was the first Ultimate level Digimon to appear in Adventure 01. The DigiDestined first meet Andromon when they are exploring a factory. Their initial hope was that the factory had human life, but they discover that everything is completely automated and run by machines. Tai, Sora, and Joe hear a crash; when they investigate the sound, they see Andromon sprawled out, lifeless, under some machine equipment. They try pulling him out, but a black gear becomes embedded into Andromon’s bad leg, causing him to become obsessed with vengeance and attack the kids. Meanwhile, while in the factory, Izzy taps into a program that activates his Digivice, but at the same time seems to affect Tentomon, causing him to become abnormally hot. Garurumon and Greymon make an attempt to fight Andromon, but are severly outmatched, as he is an Ultimate level Digimon. Tentomon suggests that Izzy reenter the program; when he does, Tentomon digivolves into Kabuterimon and disables the black gear in Andromon’s leg. It turned out Andromon was actually a very helpful and kind Digimon who would never intentionally hurt anyone.

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. Andromon said 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 to escape. 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 helped the rest of the DigiDestined fight Piedmon and his Vilemon army.

Digimon Adventure 02

 * Michael Sorich & Yanada Kiyoyuki reprise their respective 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. It seemed the Digidestined were outmatched by the powerful Andromon. It took Kari's tears to bring Andromon back and make him remember his previous friendship with Kairi and the other 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.

Digimon Tamers

 * Voiced by Richard Cansino (US). Yanada Kiyoyuki reprises his role in the Japanese version.

In the Digital World, Rika and the others saw an Andromon throwing a giant boulder into a nearby lake. Andromon was trying to lure out the evil Orochimon and at first thought that the kids had come to stop him. Once they realized they were all on the same side, they tried to work together and defeat Orochimon, but Andromon had sustained too many injuries and Orochimon escaped. It turned out that Andromon was actually trying to be a hero and liberate the Gekomon in a nearby village from Orochimon's tyrant rule. Having taken too many injuries, however, he downgraded to Guardromon. After stopping Orochimon for good with the help of the Tamers, he became Kenta's partner. From that point on the digimon stayed in his Champion form, Guardromon, and never actually digivolved again in the show.

Digital Monster X-Evolution
Andromon was among the Digimon which met with several X Digimon to discuss Yggdrasil's plans. However it turned out that Andromon was a spy for Yggdrasil and was informing him of all the happenings at the meeting of the Royal Knights. When Omnimon appeared and attacked the X Digimon, Andromon was sure he had made the right decision, but when Omnimon turned around and attacked him and his comrades he realized that WarGreymon X and the other X Digimon were right the whole time. Wargreymon X threw his Dramon Killer at Omnimon in a vain attempt to stop him, but it was repelled by Omnimon's Transcendent Sword. The Dramon Killer ended up impaling Andromon, and he died shortly after.
