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.
