'''Metallikato''', owing to its heavy influence on spirituality, is believed to be the most obscurely practiced and potentially inaccessible of 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 [[Ultimate Warrior]], a figure of religious legend.

Characters known to use Metallikato include:
* [[Decepticon]] [[Pretender]] [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], the first in-fiction practitioner of Metallikato and still the most well-known.
* [[Mini-Con]] [[Kobushi]].
* [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Armada Optimus Prime]] has been known to employ a kick derived from the art, although the full extent of the [[Autobot]] leader's knowledge of Metallikato is unknown.
* [[Rollbar (RID)|Rollbar]] of the ''[[Robots In Disguise]]'' universe also knows at least one Metallikato technique.
* ''[[Transformers Animated]]'''s [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]] and [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] are versed in the Metallikato ninja arts; the latter character has mastered the "5 Servos of Doom" technique.

==Trivia==
*The word Metallikato is Finnish. When translated into English it means "Loss of metal".
