Team M.E.C.H.A.

Team M.E.C.H.A. is the titular team of Team M.E.C.H.A., who fight mech battles and cross over with other series a lot, including teaming up with Dvandom Force for the Grand Tour. They operate out of southwestern Missouri.

They are:

• 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 (no relation), Adam's girlfriend. Actually the princess of the magical kingdom of Terrania, who becomes a magic user herself
• 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.

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

Their enemies include the diabolical Doctor Zwarghoff, Admiral Morgan (the Most Evil Woman in the Universe), and perhaps most prominently the farm punks turned evil sentai, the Mighty Muddy Power Grangers, who they took on in a battle in Bob City alongside many other heroes..

Industrial Revolution and After

When the Industrial Revolution – a devastating conflict between science heroes and mages sparked by the actions of the mage Radian – 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 Teen Team, Adam went on a spiritual journey, 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.

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.

And no, "M.E.C.H.A." doesn't actually stand for anything.
