This almost single handedly justifies shoving all the Ultimates out when they did.

If everyone else gets stuff like this, all the better. Give me cyber Lilimon please! Zudomon with tentacles!

quote:

MetalGreymon Alterous Mode

Metal Greymon, who acquired mighty power by mechanizing its upper body, has been updated with further mechanization to its right arm. With the accumulation of fierce battles that it has lived through, it transformed its right arm into a huge energy cannon called "Alterous" so that it can fight against tough enemies that draw near. Its Special Moves are concentrating energy into the "Alterous" and firing subluminal bombardments (Positron Blaster), and a positron sword in which it converts the energy it has accumulated into a blade (Alter Blade). It exhibits its full combat ability at both close and long range, and has been remodeled to defeat any tough enemy it encounters.

quote:

Dark Maildramon

The form of Maildramon, who acts as Knightmon's servant and acquired the power of "Miracles", that found righteousness in evil after abandoning justice. Its Chrome Digizoid armor has been dyed a dark color, and it is seeking a heart of darkness in its master, Knightmon. If there is a Knightmon with a strong evil heart, it will be obedient to them, but if it senses even a shred of conscience, it will crush even its own master under its bulk. Its Special Move is flapping its tattered wings, causing dark bullets to rain down (Dark Wing).

Those are pretty arbitrary. Shoutmon 1/3/5 but goddramon for its mega form? They could have at least put OmegaShoutmon somewhere in there. Valquimon seems tailor-made for Tapirmon’s evolution line but that’s not in there either. Two of the legend arms are in but only their ultimate forms for some reason, so one of the secret evolutions probably isn’t RagnaLordmon. It’s just kind of a mess all around...

I was thinking of getting it since I had a pendulum zero in elementary school, but maybe I’ll grab metal empire or something instead.

Most of these have been killing it, and I love how freakish the new VBs are. But man is this one kinda bad.

I also wish we got more new Megas for these. Regalexmon and debatably Nidhoggmon are the only two so far, right? I could've easily seen Entmon as a mega for plant lines that isn't a fairy for a change.

Getting XW Digimon, especially DigiXros forms, would've been impossible very shortly ago. Having Shoutmon is one thing, but X3 and X5 would've never been in a non-XW V-Pet until the XW-level update in the DRB that happened very recently. Saying this is uninteresting is impossible to understand for me, between Adventure: and this roster it basically sets in stone that the XW guys are a part of the franchise and will be treated like anyone else.

Now do the same for Appmon, please.

Well to be fully fair they actually used OmegaShoutmon X in the Digital Monster X v3 just a little while ago (before assigning the XW 'mons levels). Not quite the same since it's an X form, but it implies they've been gearing up to reuse the XW digimon for a bit.

I'm cool with the XW mons getting in, it's the wasting 8 slots on the full Agumon 06 and Guilmon lines that is boring to me. Especially when the other versions were getting less utilized lines like Labramon and such. But I see people elsewhere say that the original Virus Busters was basically all protag mons (Agumon, Gabumon and Salamon) so I guess it fits.

They appear in the Twitter account every so often so they aren't forgotten, but other than that, they only appear on specifically Appmon stuff (the 3DS game, the anime and the manga). No Digimon/Appmon crossovers exist beyond that one episode with Agumon, and even there Digimon were specifically a separate thing from Appmon.

Omnicrom posted:

ShineGreymon BM is basically confirmed. The other Savers lines are in the other V-Pets (except Lalamon I think?) and they all end in a mystery slot so those are the Burst Modes for sure.

That was the calculated risk. They wanted a show that wasn’t tied to Digimon’s baggage that could appeal to a younger fanbase. Unfortunately, that only alienated older fans and didn’t attract younger fans

Which is a shame because Appmon is a good show and features one of the best female protagonists in the franchise.

Appmon 18: This seems REALLY early to introduce an upgrade with the power level of Globemon, so I assume either the power scaling is going to be off the charts or they won't be able to use Globemon very often?

So far we only have a translated profile for Mimicmon from the VB V-Pet. So Baluchimon and Manticoremon yet to come.

quote:

Mimicmon

An Adult Digimon thought to have mutated from security software used for protecting computer terminals. As a result of capturing and taking in Virus-types that invade its territory similar to a trap, its own Attribute has become Virus as well. There are numerous Digimon sealed within its body, and the arms and horn coming out of its cage all originate from other Digimon.

The weapon on its left arm "Dead Shot", which is its main equipment, is also loaded from the Digimon it has sealed, but its power has dropped dramatically due to the data being compressed. Its Special Move is depriving the enemy of their freedom with the mist released from its cage (Hinder Miasma). Many Digimon that are immobilized by this technique are taken into Mimicmon's body.

To add on to that, she’s just as competent as the male characters (if not more so at times) and usually gets herself out of messes on her own, which is something of a rarity when it comes to the later female protagonists in Digimon. She’s also well written to boot and gets to have (and win) fights on a regular basis.

She’s kind of like the Anti-Izumi in a sense.

Appmon in general has a bit of a slow start but once it gets going it pretty much stays good the whole way through, watch it if you haven’t already.

Off the top of my head outside of Armor Digimon and Spirit Digimon(and not counting anything Xros Wars related at all as that's a huge can of worms) it's been a long time since they've really done anything of that nature, like the better part of 20 years in fact

In Savers at least, Armors are treated as being on the level of perfects, as shown by the Bio Hybrids and Drimogemon evolving into Digmon.

That isn't really true, at least on the latter one. Digmon is still very much treated as an Adult, it's fought by GeoGreymon and Gaogamon, not a higher level. Drimogemon just went from Adult to stronger Adult, which happens, Digimon evolution doesn't need to have a level jump even if it mostly does.

Also this tweet makes so much sense, I can 100% see it.

I mean, Adults combining their strength to beat a Perfect has happened lots of times in this franchise. That’s very much in line with how that battle happened in Savers.
