Arcbeetle-Dash

Arcbeetle-Dash (アークビートル・ダッシュ or アークビートルD), also known as Arc-Dash, is a KBT-type Medarot, similar to Arcbeetle but capable of performing a Medachange. Arcbeetle-Dash appears in the anime, where it is the Medarot used by Ginkai.

Description

Similar to Arcbeetle, Arcbeetle-Dash's head part isn't compatible with the same Medal its other Parts are, but it can still deal a huge amount of damage. It is weaker than Arcbeetle's Prominence, but it allows one usage more. Also, Arcbeetle's Prominence is a Beam attack, whilst Arcbeetle-Dash's Appendix is a Laser attack. All of Arc-Dash's other parts are weaker aswell, but the advantage is it allows Arc-Dash to Medachange into a car-like form.

In the anime

Arcbeetle-Dash is first introduced with Tyrrellbeetle as prototypes at the Medarot Corporation, where Ikki and Yuuzuru are allowed to try them out with Metabee’s and DonDoguu’s medals, respectively. Metabee finds Arcbeetle-Dash's body to be extremely heavy and difficult to move properly, resulting in extremely clumsy performance during the test. Later, the two Medarots were offered as a prize in a tournament, where they were won by Ginkai. After Ginkai realized the importance of friendship and true partnership with Medarots, he decided to reuse his old Bayonit's Kabuto Medal in the new Arcbeetle-Dash body, giving the Medarot the name "Arc-Dash." After Yuuzuru, in the guise of the Mystery Medafighter, helped Ginkai out, he gave Tyrrellbeetle to him. Later on, during important battles, the two of them occasionally combined the Medarots into Masterbeetle.

He is quite like Metabee, who doesn't take orders from anyone: stubborn, hot-tempered, loyal, and a good friend. He is in love with Peppercat (a feeling that seems to be mutual), even going so far as to hitting Blackbeetle dead-on with the Medaforce just for damaging her body and ceasing her functions. He has a rare medal, and, as such, has access to the Medaforce.

He is voiced by Phil McCordic in the english dub.

In the games

In Medarot 4

It appears as one of the Medarots controlled by the Phantom Renegade, among others. It is principally seen when Phantom Renegade has Red Matador and Pii as Medarots in the Robottle simulator at Ryuutou. It appears with a Kabuto Medal.

Library description: Giant Beetle Type Medarot. It wears a powerful red crest!

In Medarot Navi

His model number is KBT-7BX. It is also difficult to distinguish Appendix from Prominence. The only thing you'll have to know is, again, that Prominence is a Beam attack while Appendix is a Laser attack.

Also, unlike in Medarot 4, the Appendix attack does not penetrate.
