Anyway, if Agumon was clearly the Charmander of Digimon (and arguably the Pikachu, as well), then MetalGreymon is probably the Charmeleon. (WarGreymon would be Charizard)
Greymon sucks because he's just a big dumpy T-rex and nobody cares, but MetalGreymon is a cyborg dragon and everybody loved him. The way he has exposed metal circuits on his tail is like those "battle damage" variants of action figures I used to beg my mom to buy in Target. Because yes, it's important that I have both a regular Batman, and a Batman with parts of his armor torn off and scars and shit. That sense of "damaged, but repaired" extends to his wings, which are inexplicably tattered.
The final bit we have to talk about is the little feather-hair coming up from the back of his helmet - that was all over the place on Digimon, for some reason. The helmet covering the top half of the face is an even more common motif, but how come they all had feathers? What the hell was that about?
How about this one?
