Metallikato is a fictional Cybertronian martial art in the Transformers Universes. It is a fusion of both spiritual and physical training and a strict code of ethics, and is also characterized by an emphasis on bladed weapons.

The Decepticon Pretender Bludgeon is a master of Metallikato. He evidenced some apparent psychokinetic ability while imprisoned by the Autobot Earthforce; this may be connected to his practice of Metallikato.

In the Transformers: Cybertron cartoon, Landmine once complemented Optimus Prime on throwing a "nice Metallikato kick" while the two were sparring.

Dinobot from Beast Wars has a fighting style that is somewhat similar to metallikato.

"Metallikato" is also a Finnish word meaning "loss of metal".
