The mascot of Medarot 1's Kabuto version, Metal Beetle is the archetype upon which most other KBT-series Medarots are based. It features the standard Missile-Rifle-Gatling-Two Legs setup. Later games give it darkened armor and differently-written part names to distinguish it from its later version. It is frequently seen being used by Hikaru, protagonist of Medarot 1 and supporting character of later games. Though it is called "Metabee" for short, it is not to be confused with its successor. | The mascot of Medarot 1's Kabuto version, Metal Beetle is the archetype upon which most other KBT-series Medarots are based.

The mascot of Medarot 2, 2 Core, 7 and 8's Kabuto Versions (and arguably the entire franchise), Metabee is the refined version of Metal Beetle and features the bright yellow armor that has since become a staple for KBT-series Medarots.

=== [[Arcbeetle|KBT-4 Arcbeetle]] === | === [[Arcbeetle|KBT-4 Arcbeetle]] === | ||
Appearing in a number of later games, Arcbeetle represents a shift in the KBT paradigm. Its color is red with gold accents while its Head part sports two prongs more reminiscent of a Hercules Beetle than a Rhinoceros Beetle. Said head is capable of firing an extremely strong Laser attack. | |||
While sometimes used by Rintarou, Arcbeetle is more commonly the Medarot of choice for the [[Kaitou Retort]]. Arcbeetle is also unique in that, as of Medarot 7, it is the only KBT-series Medarot that has no KWG-series counterpart. | |||

A direct upgrade to Ikki's Metabee, Saikachis is the first KBT-series Medarot to feature Medachange, gaining wheels and red accents in a number of places. When changed it is capable of setting and firing Cross Attacks, giving it great offensive strength against almost any opponent. | A direct upgrade to Ikki's Metabee, Saikachis is the first KBT-series Medarot to feature Medachange, gaining wheels and red accents in a number of places.

A more heavily armored version of Saikachis (much like Bayonet to Metabee), the female Blackbeetle has lower speed but higher defense and strength.

An improved version of Arcbeetle, sacrificing a bit of attack strength for Medachange capability and a second Head Use. Primarily Medarot used by Rintarou, though it is also seen to replace Kaitou Retort's original Arcbeetle. | |||
=== [[Kabuto_Benimaru|KBT-7 Kabuto Benimaru]] === | |||
Designed as part of Comic BonBon's [[X-Project]], Kabuto Benimaru sports a thick red horn and two comically large gun-arms. Medarot Navi features him under the alias "Masked Kabuto", covering the horn with a top hat (which itself has a slip of paper attached, perhaps in reference to the Hatter from Alice in Wonderland). | |||

Mascot of Medarot Navi's Kabuto version, Granbeetle is a chunky Medarot used by protagonist Kasumi Asano. It trades the standard head Missile for a chest-mounted Rifle and its Medachange is Float instead of Wheeled, but it is otherwise identical in function to Ikki's Saikachis. | Mascot of Medarot Navi's Kabuto version, Granbeetle is a chunky Medarot used by protagonist Kasumi Asano.
