Guardromon (Tamers)

Guardromon is a character from the Digimon series. An Android type, Guardomon is a protector by nature, a mechanical defense specialist who faithfully fights for justice. But he tends to be rather foppish and frequently unlucky in his endeavours. His name is sometimes spelled as Gardromon.

Abilities
Guardromon's armored body is made of solid iron. He also has rocket jets mounted on his back.

Digimon Adventure
The Guardromon were shown in a flashback with a bunch of Mekanorimon led by Dark Master member Piedmon when raiding a building that the Digi-Eggs of the 8 DigiDestined Digimon were held in, but a younger Gennai made off with them.

Digimon 02
Some Guardromon were under the control of the Digimon Emperor's Dark Rings in Full Metal City. One blew up the Digi-Port to the Real World before Kari and Gatomon could make it through. Later on during this event, a Guardromon shot down Nefertimon before Flamedramon and Pegasusmon deactivated them all. After Andromon fought the control of the Digimon Emperor's Dark Ring, he blew up the Control Spire and reactivated and reprogrammed the Guardromon. One Guardromon was among the Digimon seen during the final battle against MaloMyotismon.

Digimon Tamers
Separated from the others Rika's group encountered an Andromon who was trying to liberate a village of Gekomon from the control of Orochimon, who had enslaved them to mix drinks for him. Andromon was badly injured in the battle with the Tamers taking him to the Gekomon village, where they eventually managed to convince the Gekomon leader to give them some of the data packets from their drinks to heal Andromon. However, he had lost much of his energy from the fight and regressed into Guardromon as a result.

He helped the Tamers rescue Jeri Katou from Orochimon by conducting a plan of stowing away inside the drink barrels to get onto Orochimon’s island undetected. After Orochimon was destroyed, Guardromon became a Digimon partner to Kazu who helped out in the battles with Beelzemon and the D-Reaper.

Runaway Locomon
Guardromon had an important role here by pushing a train car to catch up with Locomon. When Locomon Digivolved to GranLocomon, the Parasimon began invading and Guardromon destroyed a few of them with his Guardian Barrage.
