Premise
[edit | edit source]The series follows Jun Grant, a young boy in the fictional city of Mowtown, as he gets involved with the Metal Cardbots, mechanical alien lifeforms who took refuge on Earth after the destruction of their homeworld, the planet Machina. After crossing paths with a pair of Cardbots fighting each other, Jun finds a mysterious wrist device, the Metal Breath, and eventually gets roped into helping Blue Cop, a police car Cardbot, round up the more disagreeable members of his kind, in the hopes that they could coexist with humanity. As they continue their task while attempting to keep the Cardbots' existence a secret, Jun's friends, colleagues, and eventually even his parents are let in on the secret of the Cardbots, with the stakes rising higher as criminals and other significant figures in Cardbot society begin making their moves.

He gets upgraded into Blue Cop S in the second season and Blue Cop W in the third season, and in the first and second seasons gains the ability to become Ultimate Blue Cop, formed from combining the powers of 10 other Cardbots (which has 4 metal cards that become two gauntlets and boots), and Blue Cop Trinity, where he combines with an APC and a prisoner transport bus (which has a greatsword that can transform into a rifle). His metal card weapon in his default forms are all large gauntlets with wrist-mounted cannons, with his subsequent upgrades supplementing these with additional armor for his chest.
