Revision as of 17:57, 12 November 2019

This article is about the character. For the Dragon Ball episode, see Major Metallitron.

"I'm mad."
— "Major Metallitron"


Major Metallitron (メタリック軍曹 Metarikku Gunsō) is an antagonist who appears in the Dragon Ball manga, the anime Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT, and a few Dragon Ball films. He is an android created by the Red Ribbon Army, and Goku's second challenge in the Muscle Tower.

Appearance

Metallitron's appearance and speech pattern suggest that he is likely based on the main antagonist of the 1984 film The Terminator, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is further evident when Goku says "You're back?", to which Metallitron responds "I'm back!" Also, one of the enemies based on him in Dragon Ball 3: Gokuden is even called Terminator.

Personality

Due to his android functions, Metallitron is very stoic and follows any given assignment to him with no hesitation, as his duty is to stop anyone from advancing past the third floor of the Muscle Tower, even if it means killing them.

Biography

Dragon Ball

Red Ribbon Army Saga

Main article: Red Ribbon Army Saga

MetallitronvsGoku

Major Metallitron prepares to fight Goku

Major Metallitron first appears when Goku is advancing through Muscle Tower to save the Jingle Village Chief. When Goku arrives on Metallitron's floor, General White orders Metallitron to kill Goku, which he proceeds to do by starting to squish Goku. However, Goku escapes from Metallitron's grasp. At one point, Goku accidentally blows off his head (and exposes a metal plate in his chest) using a Kamehameha, but even that does not stop Metallitron from continuing his rampage (though in the manga, he stops after a short time). Even without a head and eventually losing both wrists, he tries to repeatedly stomp Goku flat. Goku later impales him through the back with his Power Pole, and then headbutts through him, leaving a much larger hole. Despite the considerable damage done to his body, the major continues his assault on Goku, only stopping when his batteries (which had not been replaced since the previous spring) are drained of their energy. It is the first time in the series a villain is actually able to take a couple hits from Goku and a Kamehameha, and continue fighting.

Major Metallitron in Dragon Ball: Origins 2

Major Metallitron appears in two bonus levels in Dragon Ball: Origins 2, levels 2-8 and 4-6. In bonus level 2-8, Metallitron takes control of the Muscle Tower after his batteries reloaded after General White's defeat, and orders the Muscle Tower soldiers to steal Jingle Village's supplies while Android 8 is at Penguin Village to remove the Android Bomb in his chest. When Android 8 returns to the village, he goes to Muscle Tower and beats Major Metallitron. After his defeat, Metallitron takes a long walk and arrives at Penguin Village, where he meets King Nikochan and his servant (bonus level 4-6). He befriends them and tries to help them settle accounts with Arale Norimaki, since he says that his friends' enemies are his enemies, but Arale defeats him and puts his head on her body to celebrate her victory.

Major Metallitron appears in a cutscene in Dragon Ball Z: Idainaru Son Goku Densetsu, and he makes a brief cameo appearance in the introduction movie for Dragon Ball Z: Sagas.

Trivia

Major Metallitron uses his 3D Scan Mode on Goku

  • Metallitron is one of only two known high-ranking Red Ribbon officials (in this case, a major) who is not directly named after a color (although part of his name is derived from "metallic" which is also part of a specific kind of color [e.g., metallic yellow or metallic gray]), the only other being Captain Dark (who is technically named "Captain Dock" in the Japanese version, and thus was named after a structure rather than an actual color, although like with Metallitron's Japanese name, his English name is derived from a specific color shade [ie, Dark Green or Dark Yellow]). He is also the only known Red Ribbon official is not organic.
  • Metallitron is the only Android created by the Red Ribbon Army to not be numbered (it should be noted that Cell was created by Dr. Gero's Computer many years after the army's destruction) and the only Android to actually hold leadership rank within the army itself.
  • Major Metallitron was one of the first characters to figure out that Goku is an alien from space. He does so after scanning Goku, his scanner displaying that Goku is an alien. However, due to lack of human contact with Saiyans, it was unsure of what type of alien it was.
    • Interestingly, Major Metallitron's scan of Goku mention a science officer, possibly referring to Dr. Gero as he was involved in development of Red Ribbon Army's Android soldiers. It is possible that Dr. Gero might have received some of the scan data from Metallitron before he was destroyed (or recovered the scan data from Metallitron's remains) allowing Gero to discover that Goku was an alien even before the arrival of Raditz.
  • In "Master Thief, Hasky", someone resembling him can be seen in the background on a poster in Bulma's room not wearing his sunglasses.

  • His name in the VIZ localization of the manga, Full Metal Jacket, is derived from a type of bullet and is also a 1987 war film.
  • The text shown in Major Metallitron's scan of Goku (see image) is similar to an exchange between the character Ellen Ripley and the computer "Mother" from the 1979 film Alien.
