Megas

Megas is the titular robot of Megas XLR. A powerful prototype battle robot, the MEGAS XLR (Mechanized Earth Guard Attack System, eXtra Large Robot) is customized and piloted by Coop, an overweight gamer. Coop, along with Kiva and Jamie, use Megas to defend Earth from the Glorft and other dangers.

Origins
Codenamed the "Avatar", Megas was originally a prototype assault mech built by the Glorft as the coup de grace to the human race. However, the Earth Coalition captured it and Kiva spent two years modifying it into a human-use mech as the last hope for the Coalition and mankind against the Glorft. Kiva installed a Time Drive Unit, hoping to send Megas back in time to the Battle of the Last Stand, humanity's last failed major offensive against the Glorft, and change the outcome of the war forever.

Travel to the Past
During the Glorft siege of the Earth Coaliton Lunar base, under direct orders from Warmaster Gorrath, Kiva prepared to send the MEGAS back in time... back to the Battle of the Last Stand. However, the Glorft mech corps attacked and destroyed the defenders and MEGAS' head was blown off when Kiva tried to transfer to MEGAS from her mech. The MEGAS was then thrown to the time warp and landed on the New Jersey junkyard in the 1930s, malfunctioned and remained deactivated throughout the years, until in 2004, Coop found, repaired and customized it, becoming the XLR (eXtra Large Robot) of today.

Test Drive Battle
When testing MEGAS out, Coop and his best friend Jamie are attacked by Kiva and her drone mech escort, who had jumped through time to find Megas. Kiva realized she can't pilot Megas anymore: Coop has replaced the failing parts with ones of his own design. Moreover, he destroyed the time module (not realizing what did this thing do) and the neural interface (replacing it with controls of his car and reserve controls of two gamepads). Since the only one who could pilot it now was Coop, she then decides to train him.

Coop, Jamie and Kiva are then attacked by an entire army of Glorft mechs led by Gorrath, who seeks to recover Megas. With Coop's piloting skills, Megas defeats the Glorft, forcing Gorrath to retreat. However, the Glorft Commander told Gorrath that they could not return to their time unless they recovered Megas and its Time Drive Unit, not knowing the latter does not exist anymore.

Now Kiva has to fix the time flux unit and train Coop in Megas to be ready to beat the Glorft once and for all, if Coop doesn't screw it up first.

Capabilities
Megas is an extremely powerful battle robot. Quite possibly the most powerful one ever built. Measuring up to 120 feet tall, It was built with impressive functions and are constantly being modified by Coop and Kiva (but mostly Coop). Its abilities, which are practically limitless, are listed below:


 * Strength and Durability: Megas is incredibly strong, able to lift 50 tons and above. It can knock over skyscrapers and can fight and overpower numerous opponents at the same time. It has taken hits from the various opponents it has fought over the years, but rarely shows outward signs of damage. It can even withstand slamming into a planet from outer space.
 * Flight: It has jet boosters for supersonic flight in atmosphere and for operation in space. It can also travel across intergalactic distances to other planets.
 * Weapons: Megas is equipped with many weapons, primarily gatling guns, laser guns, missiles, and rocket launchers all over its body. It also has buzzsaws, powerful flamethrowers and various destructive weapons inside it.
 * Pixelizer Gun: Reduces its target into pixelized oblivion. This is the first weapon ever used in Test Drive.
 * The Jammer: A stage with giant sonic speakers protrude from the robot's torso. When Coop speaks into the microphone, the speakers emit sonic waves powerful enough to destroy Magnanimous's space station. Used in Battle Royale.
 * That Cool Giant Energy Sword Thing: Megas can form a fiery orange sword to use to slash opponents.
 * Phoenix Fire: It has the ability to incinerate its enemies all at once with a giant fire and it takes the form of a phoenix around it. Used in Buggin' the System.
 * EMP Torpedo: Used for emitting an electromagnetic pulse, until Coop tweaked it into a refridgerator. Shown in TV Dinner.
 * Flame Hands: Megas can coat flames around its hands. Used in Coop D'Etat.
 * Nuke Button: There is a big red button that launches a nuclear warhead. It was never used. Shown in Viva Las Megas.
 * Super-Destructor Mode: It covers itself with mighty rocket launchers and its arms and chest protrude giant guns. Has a faulty targeting system. Used in S-Force SOS.
 * Freeze Gun: This protrudes from Megas' chest and it can encase its target in ice.
 * Master Blaster: Megas deploys giant laser guns on its arms, legs, and from its back. Used in Universal Remote.
 * Nitrous: This allows Megas to move at hyperspeed, allowing him to destroy many foes at once. Used in The Fat and the Furious.
 * Energy Shield: Megas can put up a shield on its arm to defend itself from attacks.
 * Maser Refractor: Hits a foe with a volatile charge of maser protons and forms an impenetrable shield around its target which can absorb energy blasts and send them back at the attacker. It was accidentally modified by Coop. Shown in Universal Remote.
 * Time Drive: Megas has a time drive that creates large portals for travel through time. Since Coop destroyed its control unit, Kiva has been trying to fix it throughout the whole series.
 * Sensor Systems: It has very advanced sensors that are usually operated by Kiva in the back seat. It can detect people, objects, and energy signatures of interest from across space. It has navigation sensors and biological scanners.
