## The MTT Brand

### Mettaton

Mettaton is a robot pop star that has been touring all over the world, and was recently in Japan, getting quite the following. In spite of this, to most of the world, his personal life is a mystery [18]. He is currently staying in Canada. He is the cousin of Napstablook and Mad Mew Mew and is currently dating Papyrus. This fact is not a secret, but Mettaton doesn't go out of his way to promote it to protect Papyrus from jealous fans. While no retribution has come so far, Mettaton nevertheless airs on the side of caution [30]. Mettaton will not sign any part of a fan's body that a bathing suit would cover [48].

In his early days, he was approached by several corporate interests, but was savvy enough to maintain creative veto-power over their ideas, preferring to be his own boss. He is however, happy to do collaborations, adding guest verses to other celebrities' songs who use this partnership to show a support for monster kind [57].

Mettaton avoids speaking of his personal life in public to protect Napstablook's privacy [17].

### Products

Mettaton's success despite rampant anti-monster sentiment is largely due to his human-like appearace [29] that is still clearly robotic [55]. However, in the United States, Mettaton is a controversial figure. Opinions on him are polarized, but this only adds to his notoriety. This has lead to schools banning his products, which only draws the youth to them [29]. Mettaton has cashed in on his popularity and entered many markets, thus having a variety of different products and services. These include:

* Tissues
* Monster Land
* Movies
* Body paint. Made from seaweed, can be removed with water, and is edible, tasting like seaweed [21].
* Real Estate
* Action Figures [22].
* Attraction Slime: a type of cream that when applied to skin, fur, scales, or other outer coating bestows a glossy effect and a sweet scent. This was one of Mettaton's earliest products [24].
* Bishie Cream: like Attraction slime, but creates a more vivid glitter effect akin to the sparkles generally shown around men in anime to highlight their attractiveness. Originally, it was advertised as having a "sakura blossom scent", but due to a lack of sakura trees in the Underground, golden flower oil was used instead. After coming to the surface, this advertisement was removed to prevent lawsuits [24].
* MTT-Brand Always-Convenient Human-Soul-Flavor-Substitute: This is just repackaged corn starch, and was discontinued, though Mettaton might give it as a gag gift [52].

## Abilities

Mettaton's body is designed to run off magical electricity\* (Hyperlink 41 conflicts with this. A followup ask is needed.), but power surges can interfere with the flow of electricity throughout his body, which decrease his power efficiency and leads to faster shutdown. This is not irreparable, but Mettaton will still need to be recharged [26]. His current body will last 48 hours in his EX Form and will revert to his Classic Form when his battery gets too low at which point he will have one month left of runtime [41], but when he runs out of power, he is effectively in a coma, unaware of what happens around him or of how much time has passed [27]. He can recharge via the solar receptors on his shoulder-pads [42] or an outlet beneath his chest-plate [41].

His body was made of a combination of magical technology and mundane metal [39] though despite his construction, he remains fully vulnerable to killing intent [40].

As a transitioned ghost, he can leave his body temporarily through astral projecting, but hates doing so because if the tether between his ghost form and his body is severed he will instantly die. This ability is useful when he needs to perform field repairs on his body [38].

### EX Form

**Known Spells**

Possession

**Physical Techniques and Qualities**

Enhanced strength

Explosives

Extended Battery Life

Enhanced Durability (at Alphys's insistence) [16]

Robot physiology - The heart on his chassis is a physical container of his soul, not his soul itself [56]. This body is prone to overheating if overtaxed [64].

Scanning Eye - This was one of the few features from Mettaton NEO that was kept. He prefers his current hair style so he keeps his right eye covered [50], but the eye is capable of identifying weaknesses in a target, their soul's primary virtue, their LOVE, among other things. Generally, he reveals this eye when he is about to fight someone for real [51].

Applications - Mettaton has apps installed in his body controlled by his mind. His has in his possession, a calculator [61], a sticky notes app [62], a wireless internet browser, the app store [65], and Doom [63]. The remaining processing power not dedicated to managing his body functions is equal to that of a basic smartphone [64].

4th-Wall Lean - This allows for an enhanced level of awareness of the comic's medium and has no in-universe reason; Trash Queen simply thinks it's fun [34]. Evidence of this is Mettaton being able to kick the asks in the comic and turn his own words into explosives [60].

### NEO Form

Mettaton NEO had a ridiculous number of laser guns and other ballistic weapons in his body along with flamethrowers and the ability to fly. As a result, he had an incredibly high ATK stat, but his body was also frail as a result and the power consumption necessary to run this equipment was even more taxing than his original EX form. Most of these features have been removed to makes space for Mettaton's battery life extension [16].

### Last Seen Stats

**\*Mettaton EX**

**ATK:** 8

**DEF:** 1

\*Glitter???

## Relationships

Sulkiblook- Grandparent (Non-binary) [19].

Tenebree- Grandparent (Non-binary) [19].

Napstablook- Cousin

Mad Mew Mew- Cousin [12]

Papyrus- Boyfriend

Alphys- Friend, mechanic

Burgerpants - Subordinate

He generally gets along with most people, except for the narrow-minded, misinformed, and rude. The older members of the Blook family have tried to make contact with only him, but Mettaton has decided that they can apologize but he doesn't need to acknowledge them. He has yet to need a restraining order, but is perfectly willing to get one if he has to [54].

## History

### Pre-AFAC

Mettaton came from an ugly family situation. His grandparents owned a snail farm and had many children to assist them on the farm. They were domineering and controlling, traits that ultimately ruined the personalities of their children [28]. He was also homeschooled, with the education being completely useless and needed to learn useful things after leaving [53]. The abuse was so bad that the blook family began leaving the farm for New Home. Angry that they were losing manpower, any blook that left the farm was disowned, and when they finally passed, Mettaton and Napstablook were the only people left in their will [28].

His first words came from the time someone was trying to feed him ghost peas and he yelled "no!" [37]

Mettaton barely speaks of his family to anyone other than Napstablook or Mad Mew Mew and has no desire to see his parents [28].

During Frisk's time travelling through Hotland, Mettaton transformed into his EX form, put on a trench coat, and hired her to acquire Frisk's soul [46], even telling her that Frisk hated spiders [47]. He changed back to his Classic form nearby Muffet, leading her to assume he changed shape [46].

When Frisk tricked him into revealing his EX form, this left his core vulnerable to Frisk's projectiles, which were capable of damaging it despite their near-harmlessness [25]. Death By Glamour was blaring throughout the confrontation and audible to everyone [43].

When going through Airport Security during his tour in Japan, it took him well over an hour due to the large number of removable parts that had to be inspected just in case he was smuggling weapons. While he complied with the search, Mettaton spent the entire time making inappropriate comments to makes the experience as uncomfortable as possible for the TSA [7].

### Red Echoes

Mettaton's first appearance ever was in the very beginning of Red Echos Part 1. Before this, he had been in Japan on tour with Alphys and Undyne.

He does not appear again (besides in posters) until Red Echos Part 2, to fight off Sans who is being possessed by Chara. After Toriel fights him off for a while, Sans falls and Mettaton comments how he looks dead.

Red Echos Part 3 is the first time in the AFAC that we see him in his ghost form. He enters [1] Sans's mind to see Chara torturing Sans. Mettaton tells the others once he leaves Sans's mind that Chara will only leave if Frisk gives them their body. He appears surprised a while later after Frisk describes their fight with Sans on the Genocide Run and when Sans is shown what it looks like on the outside when he is fighting Chara as Memelord Sans. He also comments on Sans's shoes by saying "WHAT ARE THOOOSE!!?"

### Sweet Dreams and Nice Cream

Mettaton appears in Sweet Dreams and Nice Cream Part 2. He is watching the news and appears furious at the fact that President Donna Sanliruz, the president of the U.S.A in AFAC, denies Monsters Citizenship. An asker suggests Mettaton poses dramatically to calm him down, which works. Napstablook accidentally says Papyrus is Mettaton's crush when a different asker asks about Mettaton's thoughts on Papyrus. Mettaton says that it is okay for Napstablook to talk about his "crrrrrrEATIVE PASTA FRIEND" to strangers.

Mettaton asks if anyone has questions not about Papyrus. He tells a story about an ignorant fan misgendering him, and how he reacted when they said men shouldn't wear heels and make-up. More asks are sent about Papyrus, which Mettaton pretends to not hear. One asker says they want to wear "girly" clothes but other people say they can't wear those clothes. He says those people are only jealous and that they should destroy those people.

Mettaton tells an asker that he can return to his classic form at any time, but doesn't know what they mean by his NEO form. He remembers the Genocide fight suddenly and states that Alphys removed those features for extended battery life.

Askers start commenting on the picture of Papyrus in the background, and Mettaton says he got it when he first recieved fan mail. Another asker says Papyrus loves him back, but he thinks it is just a celebrity-crush. Another asker says calling him Papy is too affectionate. Mettaton bluffs that they give cute nicknames to everyone, but a different asker says he hesitated for too long for that to work. Mettaton admits that he likes Papyrus a lot, but that he wants Papyrus to ask him out to prove he sees Mettaton and him as equals.

### Extra Dark Chocolate

Mettaton is shown writing in his diary. He states that it has been 442 days since Papyrus sent him his first text message with a heart emoji, and he still has not asked him out. He says he does not know how to encourage Papyrus to ask him out anymore. Mettaon throws his diary, saying he is a mess. An asker says that means Mettaton does like Papyrus, which Mettaton replies saying that we've been over this. More askers say he should ask him out, and Mettaton says he already explained why he can't. An anon questions whether Papyrus really likes him, making Mettaton sob fabulously. One asker comforts him by saying Papyrus thinks of him more than just a celebrity. This makes Mettaton tell a story about how a man flirted with Mettaton at an arcade, and how Papyrus helped.

An asker says that Papyrus doesn't know that Mettaton is interested in him because he is not wearing clothes. This causes a message from the narrator to say that the askblog is being interrupted to bring us "Fashion Extravaganza with a Killer Robot." Napstablook interrupts this to say that Frisk is on the phone. Frisk says that they need help making a chocolate ghost cake.

Mettaton questions Frisk on why they're making a cake for Chara. Frisk's response causes Mettaton to get emotional and cry while saying he and Napstablook will be over right away. We later see Mettaton coming to see Papyrus in his Leg Boy shirt. Papyrus jumps out a window, making Mettaton think he really wanted to see him. Askers start pestering Papyrus to confess his feelings to Mettaton. Mettaton kicks these asks away from him since Papyrus was clearly stressed out. He tells Papyrus to do what feels natural to him. This makes Papyrus confident enough to ask him on a date. Mettaton screams in excitement, causing everyone else to scream. At first Papyrus thinks Mettaton screamed of rejection, but he explains it was out of happiness.

Moments later, we see Mettaton, Papyrus, Frisk, and Monster Kid are shown in the kitchen. He was about to explain how to make a ghost cake, but was interrupted by Undyne trying to explain herself (despite not knowing how to make a ghost cake). Mettaton says they already have enough cooks in the kitchen, so Alphys distracts Undyne by going with her to by edible glitter. This causes the viewpoint to change on those to for a while.

Mettaton is shown fighting with Frisk on TV. He watches this with the others in his square form, and Aidrian shows interest in flipping his switch to get him in his EX form. Mettaton lets her flip his switch, which makes askers think she has a crush on him. She denies this, saying she just likes his legs. Mettaton finishes the cake now that he has the edible glitter.

### ¡Eclipse Total!

Mettaton appears with Papyrus on their date together. Papyrus was telling him the story of why Undyne dislikes lime flavored pudding, which Mettaton says is scandalous. He then tells Papyrus that he is pleased that he asked him out. He says he was afraid of pressuring Papyrus into dating him because he is famous if he asked him out.

### The Most Fabulous Place on Earth

Mettaton himself doesn't really appear until during the play and after it. Burgerpants had starred as him in the play. He also appears in a drawing Paolo made. His creation, Monsterland, is the main setting of the arc.

### Drop Down Town

Mettaton's first appearance is as a celebrity announcer for a match between Shizoodle and The Mammoth.

Mettaton supplied the outfits for Papyrus and his family along with the sheet music for Bonetrousle [20] and appeared as celebrity announcer once more for his boyfriend's match.

## Trivia

* He has the second lowest defense out of all the main characters that have been checked.
	+ The only two characters with lower defense are Undyne and Flowey, who are both tied with Defense: 0.
* The glowing lights in the background when he's showboating are magical, and thus visible to the characters [2]
* His robot body is anatomically correct [3].
* He has a crew of Temmie ninjas shadowing his every move in shifts in order to provide special effects when needed [4]. They are usually offscreen [59].
* His tears are a combination of ectoplasm, magic, and glitter [5].
* His legal last name is "The Dazzling Stupendous Glamorous Fantastic Astonishing Remarkable Breathtaking Fabulous Awe-Inspiring Striking Handsome Charming Thrilling Sexy Dangerous Wondrous Exhilarating Alluring Sensational Charitable Considerate Dignified Sublime Gorgeous Noble Majestic Overwhelming Stupefying Spicy Sweet Savory Brilliant Stylish Suave Dapper Dulcet and Most Importantly Incredibly Humble" [8]. It is frankly amazing he got away with this.
* The tunes the lyrics of his musical went to were given to him by the Annoying Dog [9].
* He drinks motor oil to keep his internal properly greased and puts it in his hair to make it more black and shiny [11] as well as glitter [49].
* It is tradition in Mettaton's family to give children a name ending in "blook" [13].
* He has his own legal team [13].
* When people get disrespectful of Napstablook's decision not to take a body, he will step in [23].
* When Mettaton plays Among Us, he makes a big show of being upset every single time someone dies. He is passable as crewmember but really enjoys being imposter, though he self-reports more frequently than he should [31] [32].
* He knows how to make spaghetti [35].
* He is more focused on a sandwich's aesthetics rather than how it tastes [44].
* Doom was the first game Alphys installed in his body and he got to like it so now he plays it for nostalgia when he's waiting and can't do anything else [1][65].
