Armamon

Profile
Name & Etymology
Debut
⇨ Original
A weapon Digimon classified as one of the "Legend-Arms", who are capable of transforming themselves into weapons.
Its power is not limited to weaponizing itself, as it is able to forcibly transform the Digimon it cleaves with its greatsword into weapons. Due to that unique special ability, it is thought to be linked to the origin of the Legend-Arms.
Armamon is strict in determining whether or not someone is worthy of wielding it as a weapon. Armamon will never surrender itself to anyone, unless they are powerful figures like the Royal Knights Digimon.
It fights by freely using its "Malkut Crystal", in which it causes sharp crystals to rain down, and "Rainbow Hand", where it fires a rainbow-colored aura from its right hand to render the opponent comatose. Its Special Move is a sword dance with its greatsword (Sword Masquerade).

Digimon Story: Super Xros Wars Blue & Red

Armamon is one of the surviving Weapon Digimon and the strongest of those that once protected the LS-tou Zone, possessing enough power to destroy the Digital World. In the past, Dynasmon wielded it to defend the Zone from invaders. Armamon became consumed by its own power and abandoned its original mission, leading Dynasmon to seal it within Lost Space at the cost of severe damage to its own Digicore.

Barbamon establishes ROG to collect the Digicores needed to revive Armamon through System Omega in the Omega Area. After awakening, Armamon is ordered to test its strength by cutting down the Zone's Digimon. Barbamon considers the Zone worthless now that it has obtained the legendary weapon, but Armamon rejects its greed and declares it unworthy to be its master. It forcibly transforms the Demon Lord into its Galactic Sword, demonstrating an ability distinct from the Weapon Digimon's transformation of their own bodies into weapons.

Taiki attempts to reason with Armamon by recalling its former partnership with Dynasmon and their defence of the Zone. Shoutmon likewise identifies the group as Dynasmon's companions, hoping to reassure it that they are not enemies. Armamon detects traces of Dynasmon's data around them but instead regards its former partner's companions as enemies and attacks.

Armamon reveals its original plan: to gather every Digimon in the Zone into System Omega and become a single weapon, believing this is the only way to protect the Zone from all invaders. Spadamon rejects this interpretation of their duty and condemns the forcible transformation of non-Weapon Digimon. Armamon attempts to transform Spadamon as well, but it resists because it is itself a Weapon Digimon.

After being defeated by Xros Heart, Armamon returns to System Omega and searches for Dynasmon. The system reports that Dynasmon's Digimon ID is lost and identifies Stealth Valley as its last confirmed location. Refusing to accept the loss of its former partner, Armamon begins gathering surrounding data in an attempt to reconstruct it. Spadamon protests that a reconstruction would not be the same Dynasmon, but Armamon continues and becomes Omega Armamon Burst Mode.

Spadamon accesses System Omega and initiates full protection of Omega Area, preventing Armamon from escaping into the rest of the Zone. It warns that Armamon is fully connected to the system and will absorb Lost Space and the entire LS-tou Zone unless stopped. Xros Heart confronts and defeats it in the final battle.

Following its defeat, System Omega detects an abnormality in Armamon's Digicore but fails to terminate the incoming data. Armamon can no longer contain the influx, and its Digicore begins collapsing. It continues calling for Dynasmon and begs not to be left behind as a black hole threatens the area.

With the Warp Gate broken and Gate Disks unusable because Omega Area is sealed, Spadamon sends Taiki and Shoutmon to Sky Fort while remaining behind to stop Armamon. Spadamon later returns and explains that it eliminated Armamon together with the black hole. It expresses its belief that Armamon has returned to the same place as Dynasmon, although their reunion is not shown.
