Near the end of the 21st century, Earth begins to become overpopulated, leading to many people living in man-made space colonies. The primary army of Earth called "Earth Corps", has been conducting nefarious experiments and their work, along with the actions of the playable characters, will determine Earth's future.

Jin's father (Ken Saotome) belonged to a unit that was killed in what was thought to be an accident one year before the start of Cyberbots. To honor his memory, he descends to Earth from a space colony and seeks to become the best Variant Armor pilot alive to prove his worth through the VA battle circuit. He begins to question his father's death after meeting Shade for the first time, who, it turns out, was the one responsible.

His main mech is the BX-02 BLODIA, a reworked model once piloted by Jeff Perkins.

The premise in Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness is similar to its predecessor Armored Warriors, albeit it features only a maximum of two playable characters on screen as opposed to three. Cyberbots was quite innovative at its time, attributed to its amount of selectable options, parts, and mecha (refered in-game as Variant Armor, or VA for short) that permit the player to format their play style to their preference. Similar to the Armored Core series, different legs (which affect movement abilities), arms (which affect reach and melee capabilities) and weapons can be mixed and matched between the selectable robots available to the player. The player first chooses the pilot (who is also what determines which storyline the player will see) and then the mech they'll use to fight.

Unlike most mecha-based fighting games, the overall gameplay is quite similar to Capcom's own 2D fighters (and "traditional" fighting games in general), with a medium-sized command list of executing various attacks available to each individual robot. When the Energy Gauge of a player is completely filled, the player is able to launch a Cyber EX super power move, or Giga Crash. Battles are a duel-formatted affair with players and the computer fighting against one another to proceed. Cyberbots also features fully voiced character acting during cutscenes, which was rare for a video game from the early 90's, this was only present in the Japanese console ports however; all versions of the CPS2 arcade release contain the same audio.
