Origin

In the future, a war is taking place between humans and an alien race called the Glorft. The Glorft had constructed a giant robot, known to them as the Avatar prototype, as a weapon in the war. The human resistance stole the robot and renamed it Megas, with the intention of sending it back in time to a turning point in history where Megas would win a battle for the humans. During this process of sending it back, the Glorft attacked, causing Megas' timedrive to be destroyed and its control unit (head) to be blown off completely. Megas was sent back to the early 20th century (around the 1930's), more than 1000 years earlier than intended. Megas laid undiscovered in a scrap heap in New Jersey for over 70 years until it was discovered by an overweight video game addict named Coop.

With the help of Goat, the owner of the junkyard, Coop replaced the missing head of Megas with a car (specifically, a 1970 Plymouth Hemi Barracuda Convertible with Shaker hood scoop) and rebuilt the control system with various, buttons, dials, games console controllers. He also repainted Megas blue with yellow flames and other detail work, such as an 8-ball design on the arm. He also renamed Megas to Megas XLR, the XLR standing for eXtra Large Robot. Because of the modifications, Megas can only be piloted by Coop.

As a running gag in the series, Coop inexplicably keeps Megas stored within his garage. As the robot is much larger than any residential garage, Coop will unintentionally destroy the garage upon activating Megas, only to have rebuilt the garage and put Megas in the very same location by the following episode.

Equipment

Megas has some unusual and familiar components installed onboard—many are taken from science-fiction and super robot anime series, though there are some original Coop designs among the weapons, usually based on his obsession with video games, complete with control pads, joysticks, Trackballs and light guns. Almost all the weapons have names that are rather humorous at the time.

Original equipment

5 Minutes Till End of Episode (first appeared in "Coop D'Etat") – Used at the point in time it describes, this button causes Megas's fists to burst into flames, enabling it to melt anything it touches.;

Active Camouflage (first appeared in "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Coop") - This switch alters Megas's paint job, allowing it to blend in with its environment. Unfortunately, it does not blend correctly, running through several choices which are ineffective or completely contrary to the purpose of the switch.;
