Coop repairs the robot, but he also makes a few modifications -- such as replacing the mecha's absent, destroyed head with a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, and operating the mech's systems with various video game controls. He dubs it XLR -- "[[XtremeKoolLetterz Xtra]] Large Robot" -- but as he shows it off to his friend Jamie, Kiva Andru, a mech pilot who's traveled from the future, shows up to reclaim the robot she modified in the first place. Coop's modifications, however, have made him the only person who can pilot MEGAS, and a band of Glorft troopers, led by the tyrannical Warmaster Gorrath, followed her through time to take MEGAS back for themselves. Coop, Kiva, and -- to a lesser extent -- Jamie find themselves thrust into battle the Glorft, along with countless other threats to the Earth; too bad they usually do just as much damage to the Earth as the threats themselves.

* TheTroublemaker: Coop is the Troublemaker for his group, as well as a DestructiveSavior. Typically, the plot to any given episode is kicked off by Coop doing something, and eventually resolved by him using Megas to "Smash" the problem.
** Coop accidentally freed the R.E.G.I.S. Mark V by smacking into a cloaked prison ship while testing Megas's speed. He defeats it by putting out a ton of exhaust, causing the sunlight to Jersey City to be cut off for a few months, effectively causing a nuclear winter and depowering the solar powered menace.
** After proving to the S-Force that he wasn't a BigBad, Coop's "hero lessons" left the team a group of lazy slobs that allowed their ArchNemesis to capture them. But Coop also saved them when he demonstrated AchievementsInIgnorance by escaping a singularity simply because he didn't know he couldn't.
** Coop souped up a satellite trying to fix his own TV, drawing the attention of a massive planet eating monstrosity. He defeats the thing by accidentally launching a "torpedo" that he'd converted into a mini fridge that he was storing pop-rocks and soda in, and the effects of the urban legend are that the mixture blows up the planet eater. Then it's revealed that Coop's TV wasn't working in the first place because he'd forgotten to pay his cable bill.
** According to WordOfGod, an unproduced story was going to reveal that Coop was responsible for creating his arch-enemies, The Glorf, and that the whole thing was a StableTimeLoop.

Added DiffLines:

* JokersLoveJunkFood: [[BigEater Coop]]'s preference for food might best be described as "Yes, please." Coop is also the BigFun of the series. He spends all of one episode desperately searching for a mega slush, even as he battles a self-repairing and replicating robot, has been known to win hot dog-eating contests, and still been hungry for cake afterwards, which was interrupted by a group of sentai-styled heroes who think he's the "Bad Guy" ("Coop doesn't get full he just gets less hungry") enjoys wrapping bacon around Philly cheesesteaks and eats ham wrapped in pizza. In fact, his Arch Nemesis, Gorath, consumes a Philly cheesesteak in front of him to torture him, though given Gorath's expression, it was just as torturous for him to consume it as it is for Coop to watch.

* SodaCandySplosion: In "[[Recap/MegasXLRS1E11TVDinner TV Dinner]]", Coop and Jamie debate the legend that consuming Pop Rocks and soda will make your stomach explode, after the former considers using it to win a burping contest. He's ultimately cut off before he can consume the soda, however. The myth is later proven true when the combination is (unintentionally) used to destroy a planet-sized space monster.

Unfortunately, Megas XLR suffered the fate of being written off by Cartoon Network, meaning that it can no longer be aired legally on Cartoon Network, Creator/AdultSwim, or any of their affiliates; George Krstic said in 2014 that the show cannot be aired again without getting into legal problems. Fortunately, George Krstic, [[{{Creator/Titmouse}} Chris Prynoski]], and the Toonami crew worked to bring it back, and on February 8, 2019, Krstic stated that [[https://twitter.com/GeorgeKrstic/status/1093913747553280000 Warner Bros owns the rights to the show now]]. While it's too early to tell what it could mean for the show's future, at the very least, the show is ''finally'' in proper legal hands -- it can be found on Creator/{{Apple}} iTunes and [[UsefulNotes/XboxLiveArcade Xbox Live]], and Creator/HBOMax in Latin America.

** In "The Fat And The Furious", Coop is forced to operate Megas via manual controls (inspired by an {{Expy}} of DDR) to fight off the Glorft while Kiva repairs Megas's computer core. While Coop is pretty strong for a man with his build, he's spent most of his life eating food and playing video games in his mother's basement, meaning that his stamina is rather lacking due to a lack of physical training. As a result, he soon tires himself out within minutes.
