'''Metallikato''', owing to its heavy influence on spirituality, is believed to be the most obscurely practiced and potentially inaccessible of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] [[martial arts]]. Its teachings cull from a wide variety of other martial arts, such as [[Circuit-Su]] and [[Crystalocution]], cumulatively emphasizing a variety of attack strategies, though bladed combat is its hallmark. Metallikato has a strict code of ethics to attune its "children" to the "One True Path" of the [[Last Autobot|Ultimate Warrior]], a figure of religious legend.
