==Conception==
===Etymology===
Alien Metron is named after the "Metro Subway" in Tokyo as Metron's actions and strategy were mostly conducted "underground" (without the knowledge of humanity or the Ultra Guard).
===Design===
Alien Metron designed by Tohl Narita, draws inspiration primarily from various aquatic shellfish found throughout Japan. Its appearance resembles that of a whale lying on its back.
Alien Metron's head originally arrived on set unpainted, so color was quickly applied minutes before shooting began.
==History==
===Ultraseven===
Throughout a city district many outbreaks of violence occurred without warning from innocent people. After one of the violent men mysteriously died, the UG was to investigate the matter. During this time Dan Moroboshi encountered a truck that tried to run him over him, but found it had no driver. 
He was contacted by the Alien Metron telepathically, who told Dan that he knew he was Ultraseven in disguise. After two Ultra Guard members became violent, they assumed the cigarettes might be responsible. After breaking one open they found a red substance inside, not native to Earth. During some reconnaissance work the UG traced a cigarette supplier to an abandoned warehouse. Dan went in to find the strange man in black and found his true form of Alien Metron, who acted like a friendly alien. 
However, when Dan managed to see past his deception Alien Metron attempted to flee in his spaceship. The UG was quick to respond and managed to bring down Alien Metron's ship even when it split in half with Dan turning into Ultraseven and his adversary escaping the first destroyed attack. After a short fight Ultraseven proved more maneuverable and managed to cut Alien Metron in half while he was in midair with the Eye Slugger and finished him with the Emerium Beam. 
====Trivia====
*Voice actor: Shinji Nakae
*Suit actor: Teruo Aragaki
*The battle at sunset between Ultraseven and Alien Metron was shot at the same time with Ultraseven's battle against Alien Spell.
*Alien Metron and Ultraseven made special guess appearances in the wrestling tournament known as "DDT Expo - progress and harmony of pro wrestling", wrestling each other in the third round.
*Though completely destroyed by Ultraseven in the main continuity, this Alien Metron reappears in the Ultraman Max continuity and is said to have only been "greatly injured" by Ultraseven's Eye Slugger and not hit with the Emerium Beam. This does explain how he is never shown completely exploding, just suffering an explosion to the top of his spine.
*Alien Metron's appearance began a tradition of associating him with meeting the protagonist over a drink, usually with a coffee table between them.
*The TNT Dub of Ultraseven refers to Alien Metron's home world as Planet Kierlon.
===Ultraman Ace===
Alien Metron reappeared in episodes 7 and 8 of the series Ultraman Ace, as the son of the original Alien Metron: 
A large planet known as Goron was detected far out in space, and would destroy the Earth in seven days. It was sent by Alien Metron Jr., who later emerged from the ground near the TAC HQ, and began destroying the nearby buildings. Before TAC could act, it disappeared into thin air. Unknown to the rest of the crew, Metron Jr. reappeared in the HQ, and attacked a woman known as Maya Takashina who worked for TAC with his finger bolts. He then entered her body, and used it as a disguise.
Maya ran out of her room and planted a bomb exploding a sector in TAC, Maya changed back into Metron. Seiji Hokuto found Metron Jr. inside the HQ later, and shot it in the arm. Metron Jr. ran off to Maya's room, and changed back into her. Hokuto at first was confused, but then saw she had a wound on her arm as well. He knew she was really Metron Jr., but before he could act, the newest Terrible-Monster, Doragory, mysteriously appeared in a forest nearby. It was making its way toward the HQ, and TAC was deployed to stop it. Doragory easily withstood the attack, and fought back with his deadly flames. Hokuto and Yuko Minami merged and became Ultraman Ace, who began to fight with the new Chouju. During all this, Metron Jr. attacked the main control center of TAC, and destroyed most of their machines, as well some of the staff. This way, they could not use any weapons to destroy Planet Goron.
The fight lasted a long time before Ace used the Ace Barrier, which took up significant energy, but managed to send Doragory into another dimension. However, Metron Jr. was back in human form, and persuaded a TAC member Ichiro Yamanaka to take him to the control centre where the main weapon for destroying the planet was held. But Minami and Hokuto managed to expose Metron Jr. to the others, and were able to chase it outside, where the entire TAC crew shot it to the ground. But Metron Jr. was not dead, as it then assumed its gigantic sized form! It attacked TAC while, in another dimension, Yapool brought Doragory back to the Earth to fight, revealing Metron Jr. was helping Yapool. Minami and Hokuto had no choice but to become Ultraman Ace again.
Ace fought both Doragory and Metron Jr. at the same time, but was soon being knocked back and forth by both. Things only got worse when the monster Muruchi suddenly appeared without warning! Muruchi joined in on the fray and attacked Ace as well. Against three foes; a Monster, a Terrible-Monster, and a Seijin, all hope for victory seemed lost. 
Muruchi then charged at Ace, who was able to leap over him. Muruchi accidentally rammed into Doragory, who grew angry and instantly started beating Muruchi to the ground. It then used its immense strength to tear Muruchi's lower jaw off, as well as the flesh from his jaw to his belly. Muruchi screamed in agony as Doragory continued his onslaught by tearing off his left leg. Muruchi then grew silent as Ace attacked Doragory from behind. But it was pointless, as Metron Jr. and Doragory soon gained the upper hand once again. 
With Ace heavily weakened by the strain of the preceding fight, he opted to use the Ace Barrier again, teleporting both Metron Jr. and Doragory to another dimension. However, Metron Jr. soon found a way back into Earth's dimension and returned to Earth, encased in a blue orb. 
He was found by two TAC members, who saw him resting. Going against their commander's wishes, they attacked it. Metron Jr. was unfazed by the attack, but soon woke up. Metron Jr. attacked both the ground crew and the aircraft with its destructive flashes. After sending their aircraft to the ground, it disappeared. It later reappeared when Doragory returned to the Earth from the other dimension, as the missile for destroying the meteor was nearing its launch. 
TAC attacked both with all of their might until Minami and Hokuto were able to merge into Ultraman Ace one last time. Ace managed to hold both at bay until the missile launched, and it eventually destroyed the meteor. However, Ace was still too weak to fight off both Metron Jr. and Doragory. He used the majority of his energy to attack Metron Jr. with the Ultra Guillotine, a cutting move that sliced Metron Jr. in half right down the middle, ending his attack on the Earth. 
====Trivia====

*Metron Jr. is also referred to as Metron II.
*Alien Metron Jr. was seen in one of the flashbacks of Ultraman Mebius & the Ultra Brothers.
*Alien Metron Jr. was one of the monsters who made up Belyudra's left arm in Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy: The Movie.
===Heisei Ultraseven===
Ultraseven is first seen battling an Alien Metron in space defeating him with his Wide Shot. Later on Earth the same Metron's son and daughter attempted to take over the Earth. They kidnapped a researcher forcing him to build a device for them before they were confronted by the UG and Dan. 
After being trounced by Dan, and the scientist escaping, the two dropped their disguises. While the daughter was killed the son took giant size and fought Seven with his beast Dinosaur. Alien Metron used the device to cover the sky in clouds, cutting Ultraseven of from the sun and limiting his energy supply. 
The two began to trounce Ultraseven until his old friend from his days in the Ultra Guard took a jet and cleared the sky for him. Seven then proceeded to destroy the two ending their threat to mankind.

===Ultraman Max===
The original Alien Metron reappeared in the series Ultraman Max episode 24. He appeared with a scar that traveled down his body from his front to his back.
Violent outbreaks have been occurring in a city when people answer their cellphones. It is related to a similar incident 40 years ago when people would become violent after smoking cigarettes. Detective Narasaki is put on the case to track down the cause, along with DASH. 
Kaito Touma eventually spots a suspicious old man, and follows him until he finds a cell phone on the ground. After answering it, he finds himself falling under the control of the violence wave, and notices the old man approaching him. The old man explains that he is not of his planet, and deduces Kaito's identity as Ultraman Max. 
After a run in with the detective, who seems to have met Alien Metron in the past, he escapes, with Kaito following close behind. Narasaki tells Mizuki Koishikawa about an alien that his father treated 40 years ago for a large cut down his middle (possibly given to him by Ultraseven's Eye Slugger). 
Narasaki believes Metron to not be evil, just angry that his town has changed. Alien Metron takes Kaito back to his warehouse, where he tells him that he has been studying Earth for 40 years, and intends to leave soon. He theorizes that mankind will eventually destroy itself, and he was just speeding up the inevitable. After beating Kaito in a round of rock-paper-scissors, Metron turns into his giant form, and begins jumping around. 
Ultraman Max appears, expecting a fight, but Metron merely bids him farewell before his spaceship arrives. He then transforms into a ball of light and boards the ship, leaving the Earth. 
====Trivia====
*Actor: Minori Terada
*To further cement him as a survivor from Ultraseven's Eye Slugger attack, a huge scar lining is visible on his face.
===Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey===
Alien Metron was another Reionics taking part in the battle but he would soon find himself face to face with Reimon Burst Mode and Reionic Burst Gomora. He sent Doragory after him and the fight was on but Gomora's new found power was far too great. In the end, Doragory was badly hurt by the Ultra Oscillation Wave, hurting Metron through the link. 
Metron had no choice but to recall Doragory, both to save his Kaiju and himself. However, Reimon wouldn't allow it and assaulted the alien as Rei watched helplessly from within the power mad entity. Metron found himself pinned down by Reimon, begging for mercy but Reimon knew none in Burst Mode and merely kept the attack. However, luckily for Metron, something drew Reimon's attention in the wilderness, causing him to leave the alien alive, much to Metron's relief. 
However, Metron was not one to forgive and forget. He found the Pendragon and monitored through the windows, seeing what was happening with interest before entering the vessel and asking Rei if he remembered him. Metron was unhappy and taunted Rei, nearly triggering another Reimon Burst Mode transformation. 
Metron teleported to await his challenge, sitting at a table with a drink but the Pendragon launched into the sky, much to Metron's annoyance. To stop their escape, Metron sent out Vakishim. Finally, Reimon summoned Reionic Burst Gomora into the fight, giving Metron his chance at revenge. While Vakishim was strong enough to put up a good fight, Gomora's power was too great and he drove his horn into the Terrible-Monster, killing him with the Ultra Oscillation Wave. With Vakishim's demise, Metron was killed as well, as were the rules of the Reionics Battle. 
====Trivia====

===Ultraman Decker===
The TPU's Internal Affairs director, an Alien Metron named , was sent onto the Nursedessei to investigate GUTS-Select captain Taiji Murahoshi for suspicions of having worked with Agams, based on precedent ten years ago when he deserted his special team during an operation to capture Hudram at the time of Metsu-Orochi's attack to supposedly save a child, though such a child was never found. 
Despite the pleas of the other teammates, Nigel put Murahoshi under detention while the investigation was to be conducted, even when a Gomess appeared and was making its way to Komie City but with Murahoshi under lockdown, GUTS-Select was not authorized to deploy. Placing trust in the facts and data, Nigel determined that the city's defense systems would be able to deal with Gomess, but was quickly proven wrong when the monster tore through them. 
Fortunately, Soma Ryumon was able to find evidence of Murahoshi's innocence by digging up the past, leading him to learn that Murahoshi was the TPU member who saved him from the monster attack while he was a child, bringing out the old TPU badge that Murahoshi once gave him. With that, Nigel was convinced enough to let Murahoshi go, allowing GUTS-Select to sortie and defeat Gomess with Ultraman Decker's assistance.
Before leaving, Nigel decided to apologize while praising the team for being good subordinates to the captain.

===Ultra Super Fight===
In an episode of Ultra Super Fight, it is shown through a flashback that an Alien Pegassa was abusing an Alien Metron by whipping him with a chain. Despite Metron's pleas for forgiveness and for the punishment to stop, Pegassa continued until the chain broke, whereupon Metron immediately chased after his captor. When Pegassa got tired after running up a hill, Metron began wrestling with him, alternating between numerous techniques and whipping Pegassa with the same chain he had used on him. After Pegassa fell unconscious, Metron tied the chain around the alien's neck to remind him of what he had done.
In episode 14, Monsters Fight, Metron (possibly the same one) was smoking a large cigarette and drinking coffee in a field when Pandon came by. Interested by the tobacco, Pandon nervously begged Metron to hand them over, as he wanted him to stop smoking. Annoyed, Metron pushed Pandon away, to which Pandon responded by kicking Metron over, and he dropped the cigarette, which Pandon quickly snatched. The two squabbled over the tobacco until Metron hurled his coffee table at Pandon, knocking him over. Metron grabbed and threw Pandon around, with Pandon getting a few punches in. Metron eventually stepped on Pandon's tail, but Pandon jabbed Metron with a stick, then sent him down a bank. Finally, Pandon knocked Metron unconscious after throwing a small stone at his head, leaving the ecstatic monster performing numerous victory poses and jumping for joy.
