Description
Fireman Jobroid MAT is a character from the anime Tomica Heroes Jobraver: Tokusō Gattai Robo. He is one of the Jobroids, a series of high-performance androids designed to integrate seamlessly into human society and assist in various professional fields. MAT is specifically designated as a fire-fighting unit, with his core programming and personality centered on emergency response and the protection of others from fire-related disasters.
MAT is a participant in the Braver Project, an initiative that allows Jobroids like him to combine with specialized vehicles known as Armor Tomica. This ability is central to his role, as it allows him to transform from his standard android form into a much more powerful and capable combat and rescue unit. By combining with a Morita CD-I Type Pump Fire Engine, a Kawasaki BK117 D-3 Firefighting Helicopter, or a Morita Super Gyro Ladder, MAT transforms into Fire Braver. This transformation significantly enhances his firefighting capabilities and structural resilience, enabling him to tackle large-scale emergencies and face antagonistic forces.
In the story, MAT is a key member of a team that responds to incidents threatening the Future City Technology Demonstration Special Zone. These incidents often involve renegade or malfunctioning Jobroids, including those maliciously controlled by external forces during the Dive Incident, a major crisis where Jobroids are turned against society. Alongside his counterparts, such as Police Jobroid Wapper and the medical response unit Medi Braver, MAT confronts these threats, working to neutralize rogue elements and mitigate the accidents or attacks they cause. His motivations are directly tied to his function: to extinguish fires, save lives, and maintain public safety.
Key relationships are primarily defined by his professional alliances. He is a direct ally of Wapper, who seeks out MAT's help when gathering fellow Jobroids to rescue their commander and a doctor from a crisis. In combat, he operates in coordination with Police Braver and Medi Braver as part of a unified team. His development throughout the series is marked by his continued operation and adaptation to escalating challenges. He remains an active member of the core team, receiving an upgrade to Fire-Fighting Jobroid MAT MkII in the second season, indicating a refinement of his abilities. He is also capable of further combination, such as collaboratively combining with a Fire Boat to form Unite Fire Braver, demonstrating his versatility in specialized rescue scenarios.
Among MAT's most notable abilities are his transformation and combination sequences, which are the hallmark of the Tokusō Gattai (Specialized Combination Robo) concept. Beyond his obvious fire suppression capabilities, his role requires combat proficiency, as he and his allies frequently battle Weapon Jobroids and antagonistic entities like the rogue Jobroid Ace. His existence as a fire-fighting Jobroid makes him an indispensable asset to the team, embodying the series' theme of work vehicles and professional androids uniting to become heroes.
