Editing Major Metallitron (section)

==Trivia==

*Major Metallitron is a clear homage to Arnold Schwarzenegger's ''Terminator'' character, reflected in his sunglasses and his identity as a cyborg.
*Among Red Ribbon Army officials, Metallitron is one of three high-ranking members not directly named after a color. However, part of his name ("Metallic") alludes to a type of coloration, such as metallic gray or metallic yellow. The others are Captain Dark (whose Japanese name, "Captain Dock," references a structure) and General Copper.
*He is the only known Red Ribbon official who is not organic.
*Major Metallitron is an unnumbered android, sharing this trait with the Prototype Androids, Super Prototype Androids, Bio-Androids (like [[Cell]] and [[Cell Max]]), and [[Mira (Dragon Ball)|Mira]] from ''Dragon Ball Online''. However, unlike most of these, Metallitron is entirely mechanical, akin to the Prototype and Super Prototype Androids.
*He is the only android to hold a leadership rank in the Red Ribbon Army, unlike [[Android 8]], who served under Ninja Murasaki and General White. This excludes Android 20 and [[Android 21|21]], who assumed leadership post-Army downfall.
*In ''Dragon Ball: Origins 2'', it is implied that Metallitron outranks Android 8.
*Major Metallitron is notable as the first successful Red Ribbon Android from the Army’s perspective. Unlike Android 8, he followed his programming and was loyal. This aligns him with other obedient androids like Androids 9, [[Android 13|13]], [[Android 14|14]], [[Android 15|15]], [[Android 19|19]], and [[Hell Fighter 17]]. However, rebellious androids like 8, [[Android 16|16]], [[Android 17|17]], [[Android 18|18]], 21, and Cell lacked loyalty to Dr. Gero or the Red Ribbon Army.
*Metallitron shares several traits with Android 16:
**Both are fully mechanical androids.
**Both were programmed to target Goku, although Android 16's motivation stemmed from his Goku Termination Program, while Metallitron's orders were tied to his defense of Muscle Tower.
**Both feature rocket-powered fists that can detach from their arms.
**Both have ties to ''The Terminator''. Metallitron’s connection is direct, while Android 16’s mannerisms in the English dub, including an Austrian accent, parallel Schwarzenegger.
*A character resembling Metallitron appears on a poster in Bulma's room in the episode "Master Thief, Hasky," notably without sunglasses.
*In the ''VIZ'' localization of the manga, his name is "Full Metal Jacket," referencing both a type of bullet and the 1987 war film.
*The scan text in Metallitron's analysis of Goku resembles dialogue from the 1979 film ''Alien'' between [[Ellen Ripley]] and the computer "Mother."
