Hi-Commandramon is a Cyborg Digimon. It is a heavy infantry Digimon of the D-Brigade. It is said that many of the 100 Commandramon who don't pass the special screening exam Selection-D will Digivolve into Hi-Commandramon. Its main role is to act as a shield, protecting the Commandramon assault troops with its massive build and protective armor. Like Commandramon, its skin has been modified with a special texture that detects and displays surrounding colors in real time.[2] Cargodramon contains a cargo hold in its fuselage, which on a typical mission is used to transport a squadron of five Commandramon and one Hi-Commandramon[3] and after Brigadramon eradicates all major threats Cargodramon will descend and deploy Commandramon, Hi-Commandramon, and Tankdramon on the ground. Brigadramon continues to circle the skies above until the mission is complete, giving commands to the deployed units whilst searching for enemies.[4]
