God Emperor is a WEA-model Medarot modeled after a mantis shrimp. It is an upgraded version of Beast Master. First appearing in Medarot 2, it has gone on to appear in almost every single Medarot game since. As such it is one of the most recurring Medarots in the series (alongside Metabee and Rokusho.

Description

As the definitive WEA-type, God Emperor is quite intimidating in its appearance. It shares a much closer resemblance to the mantis shrimp than the more robotic-looking Beast Master: it rests on a base with many small legs (as opposed to a bundle of snake-like projections) and its head features two pairs of antennae, one of which is used to generate its Gravity attacks.

In Robottle, God Emperor's role is obvious: overwhelming force. It maintains the same basic attack types as Beast Master, though it uses different attacks in specific. The Head part contains a Break weapon whose boosted Rate of Success gives it great chance of Critical Hits. The Right Arm can fire Missile attacks that can never miss. And the Left Arm's Beam shots tear through lesser Medarots, being one of the few Optic parts with Chain Reaction. The legs are Heavy-type, meaning no terrain can slow it down; they also possess the highest combined Proximity and Remoteness of any Medarot legs in 2 CORE


Strategy

Use Tranculi's AppealSound part to seal the medaforce. Diving-type Medarots are recommended, as they have high evasion.

Other strategies include:

  • Use Bug or Virus to lower their aim.
  • Use Confusion to make them attack each other.
  • Steal the Deathbreak uses.
  • Steal the Medaforce.
  • Use Shot Trap to damage them (ineffective if all Deathbreak uses are down)
  • Use Missile or Napalm to damage them without missing even once.
  • Use Reflect to return attacks (Bankaran, not Pretty Prime)
  • Use Succulis to steal their speed. OR use Wave or Hold.
  • Trip them over to forget the actions.
  • Use Flame Tisara's arm.
  • One of your allies is immune to any of his attacks.
  • Use a part that disables their evade/guard.
  • Use Scout to aim better, Conceal to evade better.
  • Disable one arm.
  • Equip your Multi-Legged Medarot with a Level 30 Alien Medal or Level 60 Bat Medal.
  • Use Cross Attack to set a killing blow. USE IT ONLY ON A LEADER!!!!!!

Dos and Don'ts

  • Use Shoot, Strike, Heal, Support, Interrupt/Other, Set-Up and Special.
  • Don't use Berserk or Snipe.
  • Don't equip a female medarot with Shoot, Strike or Support, as each God Emperor targets these parts (they have Kabuto, Kuwagata and Bear Medals)
  • It is a must to get Tranculi's head.
  • Use Flight, Multi-Leg, Two-Leg, Car or Diving-type Legs.
  • Don't use Float or Tank.

In the anime

The first time it is shown, it is at regular size. It rolls out from a helicopter and attacks everything in its sight, sent by Dr. Hebereke. It appeared after Metabee defeated Shinsaber, who interrupted a robattle between Ikki and Space Medarotter X. After a small robattle, which proved God Emperor too powerful for any Medarot to handle, Hikaru and Arcbeetle "defeated" it, removing its medal manually before falling down a cliff and to the water.

The second time it is shown in a giant version named Giant Emperor (english name Giganko), used to cause riot in the city. The Select Corp tried stopping it, sending their Air-Pteras, Attack-Tyrannos and Landbrachios, who made no damage to Giant Emperor. Also, Metabee, Rokusho and Arcbeetle used their medaforces against it, with little result. It was ultimately "defeated" by Ikki and Metabee, who, illegally, eject its medal manually (similar to what Hikaru and Arcbeetle did before). It is capable of changing legs from multi-legged to bipedal, after the Medaforce hit Giant Emperor.

In the games

God Emperor is the last resort of Dr. Hebereke, encountered deep in the Roborobo Gang's secret lair under Medarot Island. He has created three of them and, triggering the release of its Limiter, sends them to attack the Phantom Retort. He manages to defeat them with his Metabee or Rokusho (dependent on version).

Supposedly disabled, the lead unit suddenly attacks Retort directly, injuring him and revealing his true identity as Hikaru. It turns on Dr. Hebereke as well and, summoning two more to its side, only Ikki remains to face three God Emperors in two consecutive Robottles.

Should Ikki manage to win both battles, the crustacean Medarots are beaten for good. In 2 CORE the God Emperors are destroyed; in the original Medarot 2 the Phantom Lady (a.k.a. Kirara) commandeers their Medaparts for more peaceful applications.

Directly after Hebereke's trio is beaten, Ikki can Robottle Primity Baby, supported by one God Emperor and one Armor Paladin.

In the postgame, God Emperor's Medaparts can finally be obtained as part of the Partsun Rally arc. When the parts for it, Wonder Angel and Belzelga are brought to the event stage, a scientist claiming to be the Creator of the Game hijacks the three Medarots and challenges Ikki to one final Robottle; victory here will secure the three Medarots' place in the player's inventory.

In Medarot R

It is a Medarot used by the Medal God alongside two Beast Masters.

In Medarot 3 and 4

Kirara has the control of three God Emperors, apparently the ones that caused riot in Medarot 2. The player can get its parts by defeating Kirara (under her Retort Lady guise). She calls them "Athos," "Porthos," and "Aramis", after the Three Musketeers, and they use Jack, Witch and Vehicle Medals.

The Right Arm and Head weapons are considered Shoot attacks in Medarot 3; they are Snipe attacks in Medarot 4.

Kasumi can battle Kirara during the postgame; she uses God Emperor as her Leader alongside two Windclap and two Viggaria. Upon her defeat, she and God Emperor will join your party.

Overall a hard-to-use unit due to the parts' high AP requirements. Although its Break head and Missile arm can be used relatively frequently, the Laser arm requires God Emperor to either stand on a Generator, be given an AP Boost status, or simply have a high enough Medal Level to generate the AP naturally. Forget about the Deathlaser if the enemy uses a Generator Down action.

The graphics for Deathlaser and Deathmissile are on the wrong sides in this game, though the attacks themselves come from the right places. (The infobox portrait has the arms on the correct sides.)

In Medabots AX

God Emperor is Sakekaasu's leader Medarot, while his partner has God Emperor's legs, seen with Hellmet, Kunai and Ninjatou. He uses a Devil Medal.

In Medarot Brave

God Emperor is unlocked by inserting Medarot 2 CORE Kuwagata Version into the Game Boy Advance connected to the Game Cube.

In Medarot DS

Its series number is WEA01-M. It apparently is not available in-game except by the use of Medagacha Coins. He is also unusable in the No Boss rule. The right arm is a Shoot attack instead of Snipe.
