The DigiDestined first meet Andromon when they are exploring a factory. Their initial hope was that the factory had human life, but they discover that everything is completely automated and run by machine. Tai, Sora, and Joe hear a crash; when they investigate the source, they see Andromon sprawled out, lifeless, under some machine equipment. They think that he might be able to help him, so they pull him out. As they pull him out, however, a black gear becomes embedded into Andromon’s bad leg, causing him to attack the kids. Garurumon and Greymon attempt to attack, but as Andromon is an Ultimate-level, they are outmatched. Meanwhile, while in the factory, Izzy types in a program that activates his Digivice, but turns his computer off when Tentomon is smoking, suddenly very hot. Tentomon suggests that Izzy reenter the program; when he does, Tentomon digivolves into Kabuterimon and disables the black gear in Andromon’s leg.

When the Dark Masters took control over the Digital World, Andromon fought against Machinedramon. He was the first good Digimon to find the DigiDestined after Machinedramon sent them underground. When he first ran into Tai and Izzy, he originally thought they were Machinedramon's henchmen. Andromon said that he was trying to round up a resistance against Machinedramon (As well as gonig to fix that drip). When Machinedramon broke through and found the DigiDestined, Andromon fought him to give the kids some time. Agumon was able to digivolve into WarGreymon, who then defeated the Dark Master. Andromon later helped the DigiDestined fight against Piedmon, but like most of them, he was turned into a key chain. After he was revived by MagnaAngemon, he aided the rest of the DigiDestined in fighting Piedmon and his Vilemon army.

[edit] Digimon 02

Michael Sorich & Yanada Kiyoyuki reprise their repective roles as Andromon.

Andromon made a reappearance as a slave of the Digimon Emperor, controlled by a Dark Ring. With Kari stranded at Full Metal City, the Digimon Emperor decided to send Andromon. The rest of the DigiDestined's Digimon could not defeat Andromon. It took Kari's tears and pleas to make Andromon remember her and the previous DigiDestined. After realizing who she was, he broke the Dark Ring from his neck and destroyed the Control Spire, freeing the Guardromon in the city. Andromon's ability to fight the Dark Ring was the first evidence that the Dark Rings could not successfully control Ultimate-level Digimon, as the Digimon Emperor soon discovered when he captured Agumon and tried to make him digivolve into Ultimate form.

In the Digital World, Rika and the others saw an Andromon near a lake. They first thought Andromon would fight, but realized that Andromon was on their side. After Orochimon appeared, Andromon battled him but was losing. When Leomon came and Orochimon disappeared, Andromon was a heroic figure who tried to liberate the Gekomon from Orochimon. After taking too many injuries, however, he regressed to Guardromon.

[edit] Digimon X-Evolution

Andromon was among the Digimon which met with several X Digimon to discuss about Yggdrasil's plans. However it turned out that Andromon was on Yggdrasil's side and had submitted the infos of the meeting to the Royal Knights. When Omnimon appeared and attacked the X Digimon, he at first was glad but when Omnimon also attacked him and his comrades he realized that WarGreymon X was right the whole time. Andromon was finally killed when Omnimon's attacked ripped WarGreymon's Dramon Killer from his arm which impaled Andromon.
