Editing KLN-series Medarots

'''KLN-series Medarots''' are one of two series used by rival characters in the Medarot games, [[STG-series Medarots|STG]] being the other. This series of Medarots is based upon the '''k'''ing '''l'''io'''n''' family of big cats. They appear in Kuwagata Version games, thwarting the player's KWG-model starter Medarot.

== Series Basics ==

=== Aesthetics ===

KLN-series Medarots are mostly yellow and brown in color. Their heads have protrusions or flourish to replicate a lion's mane. Other feline attributes such as ears, tails and paws are present, though not to the degree of CAT-series models like [[Peppercat]].

=== Abilities ===

Designed for rapid assaults against KWG-series Medarots, KLN-models can deploy speed boosts using their head parts. Their right arms feature a powerful semi-automatic rifle while their left arms mount rapid-fire gatling weapons; one could call them "left-handed" compared to most other Medarots. Their choice of legs is bipedal, though they appear to be reverse-jointed to aid in quick movement.

The only known Medachange-capable model is [[Unitris]]. It can deploy wheels from its limbs but sees no changes in its attacks.

== Examples ==

=== [[Warbonnet|KLN-0 Warbonnet]] ===

This series' debut model is the signature Medarot of [[Koji Karakuchi]] in Medarot 2. First encountered in an early chapter, Koji's Warbonnet is a frequent opponent throughout the game.

=== [[Unitris|KLN-1 Unitris]] ===

The Medachange-capable upgrade to Koji's Warbonnet appears in Medarot 3 and 4. It can deploy four wheels to quickly dash about indoor spaces.

=== [[Kratzklinie]] ===

Seen in Shingata Medarot.

=== [[Maasai Moran|KLN02-M Maasai Moran]] ===

A brand-new KLN-model appears in Medarot DS, wielding a staff and sporting a sharp red-on-black color scheme. In DS's Kuwagata Version, Maasai Moran is used by rival Kohaku Himuro; the tie-in manga instead sees [[Ikki Tenryou]] use one named "''Menoji''", acting like his old Metabee. Its head can set traps, more closely matching STG-types' Anti-Shooting Traps.

=== [[Maasai Laibon|KLN03-M Maasai Laibon]] ===

From Medarot 7 comes a variant of Maasai Moran. While identical in shape, Laibon's colors more closely resemble Warbonnet's brown than Moran's black and red.

=== [[Musketeerado|KLN04-M Musketeerado]] ===
From Medarot S comes Musketeerado, a powerful Shooting Medarot that can set Protect Traps, being able to damage KWG types like [[Monjiro]].
Its shooting weapons are similar to Warbonnet's, with a fighting style comparable to Gun-Knows, being able to pierce parts. Its right Arm i a Railgun, able to do heavy damage and pierce parts, and its Left Arm is a Shotgun weapon.
