Metal King
ItemMetal King is a sword-wielding humanoid robot piloted remotely by Bofoi as part of his Metal Series squad, appearing in the webcomic's Robot Invasion Arc. Marked by the three-lens head shared across Bofoi's machines, it fights with an oversized blade and can take to the air, and it joins the squad Bofoi throws against Child Emperor's Super Brave Giant.
Overview
This unit is one of Bofoi's webcomic-only creations, operated from a distance by its maker and counted among the specialized Metal Series. Its build is humanoid, and it goes into battle carrying a large sword.
As with every robot Bofoi designs, a row of three lenses is fixed to its head, marking it as part of his lineup.
Function
Metal King fights as a swordsman, relying on its oversized blade to engage opponents up close. It can also hover and take to the air. Bofoi speaks through the robot and links his other machines to it, gathering shared data to raise the group's combat effectiveness.
Notable Users
Bofoi is its creator and controller. When Child Emperor came to Bofoi's base and the two argued over his suspected hand in the robot invasion, the young hero deployed his trump card, the Super Brave Giant. Bofoi responded with a squad of robots that included Metal King. The fight lasted only moments before Genos, racing toward the base, drove a massive hole through the giant robot and destroyed it.
