Guardromon

Guardromon is a Machine Digimon. It is a protector by nature, a mechanical defense specialist who faithfully fights for justice and protects the computer network. However, it tends to be rather foppish and frequently unlucky in its endeavors. When combined with the "Net Keeper", Giromon, it has the defensive efficiency of an iron wall. There are times when evil hackers utilize it to protect them.
