Locomon

Profile Name & Etymology Debut Digimon Reference Book Digimon Life ⇨ Japanese A Machine Digimon with the appearance of a steam locomotive, its purpose in life is to keep running. It is a being that transports the data within the Network across the Digital World. Within the Digital World, where a large quantity of information comes and goes, the purpose in life for Locomon and other Vehicle-species Digimon is in how quickly they can transport that information. However, there are times when old models of Locomon have run completely wild as a result of seeking to go too quickly. Also, although its range of movement is confined because it can only run on rails, there are occasions when it has generated spatial distortions by continuously running in circles. Its Signature Move, "Steam Bomb", are bombs of steam that it blows from its smokestack. Its Special Move is spinning and then throwing spiked wheels (Wheel Grinder).

Appearances

Anime

Digimon Tamers: The Runaway Digimon Express

Voice Actor: Mochizuki Yūta | Lex Lang

A parasitic Digimon Parasimon took control of Locomon and caused it to run wild in Shinjuku, Locomon repeating that it would "keep on running". It later evolved to Grand Locomon. After Parasimon was defeated and Locomon freed, it went back to the Digital World... to keep on running, so it happened to do under Parasimon's control what it did normally.
