Coop Cooplowski

"Listen, you slimy, green, overgrown excuse for a garden slug! You smashed up my robot, blew up half the city AND spilled my Slushee. Now? It's payback time."''

Coop Cooplowski was an overweight, unemployed slacker gamer living in his mom's basement. But then he found the Mechanized Earth Guard Attack System in his neighbourhood junkyard and for the low, low price of two bucks took it home, repaired it, redesigned it and hooked it up to his hot rod. SInce then, Coop Cooplowski has been an overweight, unemployed slacker gamer living in his mom's basement...with a giant freaking robot. Making use of his extensive video game skills, Coop regularly saved Jersey (and, by extension, the world) from the evil Glorft and other assorted alien menaces. But just as he prepared to travel to the future and save the human race, a glob of nacho cheez slipped from his plate and fell directly onto Megas's Time Drive. The malfunction sent Megas hurtling across time and space to emerge in the middle of a pitched battle in a galaxy far away. And now Coop and his allies Kiva and Jamie must find a way back to their own time while managing to stay alive in the Super Robot Wars.

Background Information
Some are destined to fight, hereditary warriors whose natural skill and steafast determination make them shining beacons of light-giving hope to our war-torn universe.

Some are driven to fight, pushed too far by personal tragedy, their training motivated by the conviction that they will not get revenge if they fair.

Some are fighters, but made that way through far stranger circumstances. For example, just off the top of my head, and I'm just speculating here, some people might be warriors because they found a super robot from the future in a junk pile. They might refurbish the aged machine and use it to defend New Jersey against a sinister slugfaced threat. They might do it because they're the only ones that get to mess up their planet. They might accidentally hit a button that sends them through time and space to an entirely different war. They might complain there's no good place to find a Western Bacon Cheeseburger in the middle of NCA 119. They may have a '5 minutes until the end of the show' button.

Of course this is all just conjecture. That can't actually be true... right?
