Commish for @thebigboy71 ~!
The Field Guardians are a new concept I made up to be a parallel to the Dark Masters in the Digimon Zone version of Adventure. The purpose of Zone is to tell a different story from the canon one, being the equivalent to Archie Sonic, Marvel G1 Transformers and the Xros Wars manga, among other things, to have the same bones but go a different direction to make it distinct. So naturally, when the time comes to go to Tamers Zone, the Zoners and Adventure kids recount a completely different story to Takato and the others, lol. Don't believe everything you hear on TV comes up a lot for them, lol.
The Field Guardians represent the same Fields the Dark Masters do, and were once mighty Digimon that protected their respective areas from threats. The Dark Masters, however, proved to be too much in their take over once the DigiDestined left for the Real World after Myotismon, and the Guardians had no choice but to wait for the DigiDestined & Zoners to reinstall them. (The original Sovereign lore for Zone is a drastically different, with the 02 era kids on a direct mission to find them in place of the majority of the Destiny Stone arc).
MarineAngemon was the first to be freed after MetalSeadramon and his rival Pukumon were dealt with. UltimateBrachiomon was what I ultimately went with for a Machinedramon counterpart, since he looked cooler, with the early idea being Cannondramon for the role. U-Brachiomon had more of a Kaiju fighting MechaGodzilla vibe I wanted.
