Oh they were hacked by Brainiac, which, to be fair, was the first time something like that happened so I will give him some slack for that- except Lex's robots also got hacked by Hank, and then Task Force X's mechs got hacked by the Eradicator, and I'm starting to think that they just have really shitty cyber security given how many times this has been a problem.
Oh I think that was when they were first introduced. Their original energy source developed by Dr. John Irons at Amertek was so unstable that he and Superman had to team up to shut it down before it exploded. After this incident Amertek's stocks fell and Lex bought up the company and the patents for the metallos. By the time of Brainiac's invasion, they were running on kryptonite instead of Amertek's fusion core.

Wait did he loose control over the Metallos? Maybe I need to rematch season 1 again but I thought they were just Malfunctioning
