Unupgraded starting stats and art of the base form of Methuss, compiled by this site. The Methuss (MA) form is shown in images only; its values are left out of the tables. Where a title has several data entries with the same name, the allied entry is used in 3rd Alpha and Y and the entry with the lowest number in the other titles. How to obtain it, upgrade carry-over and usage are not covered. Not verified on actual hardware.
Sources checked 2026-10-09A comparison table of the unupgraded starting stats of the base form and the art of Methuss (メタス), compiled by this site title by title across Super Robot Wars. Its source work is "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam"; the tables list 37 titles, from 2nd Super Robot Wars to Super Robot Wars Y. Stat systems differ between groups of titles, so the stat tables are split into six groups. Its transformed Methuss (MA) form sits beside the base form in the image columns, and the stat tables hold the base-form values only.
Appearances
All 37 titles in the rows are appearances (in release order). The images in the cells are this site's images of Methuss and Methuss (MA) from that title, and X marks a title that has no separate Methuss (MA) form. Titles with X in the Methuss (MA) full-body cell (Super Robot Wars Y) are titles where the Methuss (MA) form is not a separate unit and appears only while moving on the map; it never enters battle, so there is no full-body art (see "How the transformation works" below). [View stats] in a title cell jumps to that title's row of stats.
"—" marks an item that title does not have; "·" marks a cell this site's material does not cover. See How to read the tables.

How to read this page
- Basis of the values: the upgrade-level-0 values of the base form of Methuss in each title. Where a title has several data entries with the same name, the allied entry is used in 3rd Alpha and Y and the entry with the lowest number in the other titles.
- Table symbols: table symbols and image types are explained in How to read the tables.
- Columns a system does not have: 2nd and Famicom Mini 2nd: no EN column. 2nd, 3rd, 2nd G and Famicom Mini 2nd: no Mobility column. Famicom Mini 2nd: no Terrain column. The Limit column exists only under "SFC system: 3rd to Complete Box" and "1997–2003: the system that still has Limit". The Sight column exists only under "2008–2012: the Z series" and "2017–2025: V · X · T · 30 · Y".
- Images: the map icon is the piece shown on the tactical map, and the full-body art is the unit image shown in battle scenes or on the unit status screen. Both kinds show Methuss and Methuss (MA) side by side in one row; where a title has no Methuss (MA) form, the cell reads "X".

How the transformation works
Y does not treat Methuss and Methuss (MA) as two separate units. The base form carries the special ability "Flight Mode Movement": it changes into Methuss (MA) only while moving on the map and returns to Methuss when the move ends. According to the in-game description it counts as "flying" while moving, but it cannot move onto a tile of terrain the original form cannot enter. For that reason the Methuss (MA) cell in this title reads "While moving" instead of an image, and the Methuss (MA) form has no values of its own.
Titles outside the tables
- 3rd Super Robot Wars Z: Jigoku-hen: this site's material has no unit values for this title, so it is left out of the tables.
- 3rd Super Robot Wars Z: Tengoku-hen: this site's material has no unit values for this title, so it is left out of the tables.
- Other titles: these tables cover only the titles filed under Methuss in this site's material.
What sets Methuss apart
The name Methuss appears as data in eight works, with two to four entries in each. The second Super Robot Wars and the Famicom Mini second Super Robot Wars each have four entries. The third Super Robot Wars Alpha has three, and the ally entry was chosen first. In the other works, the entry with the lowest number was used.
