Metal Greymon: Alterous Mode

Profile Name & Etymology Debut Design & Analysis Digimon Reference Book Misc ⇨ Japanese Metal Greymon, who acquired immense 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.

Year Active 2020 Digimon Reference Book Entry Date October 26, 2020 Anime Digimon Adventure:: "The Tide-turning Update" Video Game Digimon Super Rumble V-Pet Vital Bracelet Digital Monster Card BT5-015 (DCG) Introduced alongside Were Garurumon: Sagittarius Mode in Digimon Adventure:, these two Digimon feature cybernetic upgrades reminiscent of related X-Antibody forms. The "Alterous" arm originated with Metal Greymon (Virus) (X-Antibody), in which its own Trident Arm is upgraded into an Alterous arm. Metal Greymon: Alterous Mode differs by upgrading its right arm into the Alterous arm, rather than replacing the Trident Arm. Another difference is the ability to switch between "Blitz" and "Blast" functions, as the "Blitz" function is exclusive to the Alterous of Metal Greymon (Virus) (X-Antibody). In the case of the Figure-rise Standard Amplified - Metal Greymon (Vaccine) model, Metal Greymon can equip an Alterous arm to adapt the model to Alterous Mode, with the addition of the "Blitz" function of the arm. The "Positron Blaster" and "Alter Blade" techniques used with the Alterous are some of the very few in the franchise that make use of "positron" energy, the others being the "Positron Laser" and "Giga Death" used by Imperialdramon: Fighter Mode (with Imperialdramon: Fighter Mode (Black) wielding the "Positron Laser Lance" instead). Other variants of Imperialdramon have also used the Positron Laser as a technique.
