Matched

The term matched indicates a sub-genus of the Manga S and Anime S Shōnen having the characteristic to put in scene characters using or incarnating generally robotized armours of forms humanoïdes.

By extension, matched will also indicate the armor/robot Cyborg as tel. Souvent, its function principal will be the combat of others against matched. Indeed, matched them are in general kinds of strongly armed tanks humanoïdes.

One matched will be able to measure several stages like Mazinger Z or Goldorak and will have a cockpit or on the contrary to be of human size like the cyborg Briareos in Appleseed . Series like Super Dimension Fortress Macross or Transformers put in scene of matched having the capacity to transform itself into vehicle (plane, car, etc). To dissociate from/to each other, the majority of the series of Manga or Anime try to innovate in the design of matched. There thus exists about it of all the forms and all the sizes.

Among the series of matched most known, one finds:

… Let us quote also the Billiard Star of the hermetic Garage of Moebius.

Matched sometimes appeared in science fiction films, as for example the robot of handling which uses Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in Aliens or robots of combat at the time of the battle of Zion in Matrix revolutions .

If a series has success, its matched are very often available out of toy or model in the specialized stores (ex: Gundam ).

The term matched is an abbreviation of mechanics (mechanical) and its Western meaning is restrictive. Indeed, with the Japan, this term can apply to any machine element (robots, therefore, but also vehicles, weapons, machines, etc)
