View source for Team M.E.C.H.A.

'''Team M.E.C.H.A.''' is the titular team of ''[[Team M.E.C.H.A. (series)|Team M.E.C.H.A.]]'', who fight mech battles and cross over with other series a lot, including ''[[Dvandom Force (series)|Dvandom Force]]'' as part of the ''[[Grand Tour]]'' [[crossover]]. They operate out of southwestern Missouri.

The founding members of Team M.E.C.H.A. were:

* '''Mike''', who found an abandoned military base full of mechs in the Ozarks. Becomes the team's leader by default.
* '''Summer''', his teenage sister, who loves superheroines and wanted to be one. Later powered up by nanomachines, merging her with her hardsuit and allowing her to morph into various machines and interface with computers.
* '''Adam Douglas''', power-armored freedom fighter, son of ex-special forces officer Fairbanks Douglas.
* '''Lincoln 'Link' Douglas''', his brother.
* '''Sarah Conner''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Connor_(Terminator) no relation]), Adam's girlfriend. Actually the princess of the magical kingdom of Terrania, who becomes a magic user herself

They wielded mechs including the Bahamode motorcycles which combine into the mighty Bahamode Sigma!

Their early enemies included the diabolical Doctor Zwarghoff and Admiral Morgan (the Most Evil Woman in the Universe). Perhaps most prominent were the farm punks turned evil sentai, the [[Mighty Muddy Power Grangers]], who Team M.E.C.H.A. took on in a massive chaotic battle in Bob City alongside many other heroes.

Over time, they were joined by:

* '''Ray Sterling''', Veritech pilot who comes from a Robotech-based dimension. (Moves on from the team after the Industrial Revolution.)
* '''Doctor Odd Science''', mad scientist who has a ''real'' doctorate, thank you very much, unlike his villainous cousins Weird and Pseudo.
* '''Princess Ariella''', Sarah's twin sister who was raised in Terrania.
* '''Roger''', a thief and Ariella's fiancee, who marries her in the ''Terranian Wedding Album'' special.

== Industrial Revolution and After ==

When the Industrial Revolution &ndash; a devastating conflict between science heroes and mages sparked by the actions of the mage Radian &ndash; broke out, Team M.E.C.H.A. was in the thick of it. Adam joined the magic-exterminating Revolutionaries, seeking revenge for his mother who was killed by a mage, while the rest of the team tried to stop them. Fallout from the Revolution led to the team temporarily disbanding.

During the hiatus, Summer went to Austin to join the [https://www.eyrie.org/superguy/series/regular/teenteam.html Teen Team], Adam went on a spiritual journey where he learned to use a kind of magic, Ariella and Roger got married in Terrania, and Mike went to college and took on a fellow student who was building explosives, which led to him putting back together a provisional version of Team M.E.C.H.A.

Post-hiatus, the team was joined by: 

* '''Joe Moore''', Mike's college friend.
* '''Phobos''', AKA Mason Kramer, power-armored hero formerly of the Teen Team, who'd started dating Summer
* '''Jenny''', the Teen Team's AI, who'd been programmed by Mason and granted sentience by Summer; she works alongside both teams.
* '''Superchick''', AKA Pinto Sally, formerly of the Grangers, who'd fallen in love with Link.
* '''Spectrum''', AKA Lawrence Brown, disgraced hero who'd aided Team M.E.C.H.A. in the battle of Bob City and fought them in the Revolution, who turned to them for help after his original armor was stolen by [[lemurs]].

Not long after the team was reestablished, they found themselves entangled with the [[Looniverse]] thanks to the schemes of [[DeFacto V]]. This led to the ''[[Grand Tour]]'' storyline, which crossed over Team M.E.C.H.A. not only with [[Dvandom Force]] but with many other internet fiction groups [[Chris Meadows]] and friends wrote for.

== The Irregulars ==

: These guys are a bunch of losers who even the [[LNH (Classic Team)|LNH]] would think twice about admitting.
::&mdash; Lorrie Thomas, ''The Irregulars'' #2

When Team M.E.C.H.A. came back from hiatus, they held an open audition for potential new members. It was a disaster, flooded by a crowd of confused would-be heroes with silly powers. To get them off their back, Mike instituted a support team which would include some of them &ndash; the Irregulars!

They are:

* '''Lorrie Thomas''', a girl who was transformed into a squirrel, who became a squirrel who can transform into a girl! She is the sister of Larry Thomas, the College Anarchist, and helped Mike defeat him.
* '''Colgate Pump''', who fights evil with the power of toothpaste!
* '''Pedestrian Man''', with the power to manipulate traffic lights!
* '''Amana Man''', who wears powered armor built of washing machines!
* '''Argon''', with the power to not react to other elements!
* '''Unnoticeable Man''', with the power to [[:Category:Antimemetic|be unnoticed and forgotten about by anyone who comes into contact with him]]... ah... what were we talking about again?

And '''Perpetually-Late Man''', who can never make it to the meetings on time.
