This form was first achieved in Episode 43 of Digimon Adventure 02. When the evil Digimon Daemon and its Daemon Corps appeared, Imperialdramon Dragon Mode was frozen by SkullSatamon. To free Imperialdramon Dragon Mode, the Digimon of the older DigiDestined dedigivolved from their Ultimate forms and gave their remaining power to Imperialdramon Dragon Mode, triggering the Mode Change."

If you hate Imperialdramon, good for you. I don't see a reason why the season 2 cast should settle on having a lead Digimon be weaker than Omnimon, so I never had a problem with him. I did take issue with everyone else giving up what power they had just gotten back to push him to a vague, better optimized Mega form, but that's more to do with the writers shafting other characters than a fault I have with Imperialdramon itself.

Ah, alright. Interesting way to achieve that, but whatever.

I hate Imperialdramon simply because he invalidates the remainder of the cast. He's just too strong for his own good, I've always felt. It's kind of an inverse of Frontier. Both leads left the remainder of the cast sitting on their hands. One because they could help, but didn't need to because Imperialdramon basically Superman'd in and did all the work just by flexing, the other because they physically couldn't.
