God Emperor (ゴッドエンペラー), known in English as Mega-Emperor, is a weapon-type Medarot that first appearing in Medarot 2 and is modeled after a mantis shrimp. It is an upgraded version of Beast Master. 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[edit]

As the definitive Weapon-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 Tank-type, meaning no terrain can slow it down; they also possess the highest combined Proximity and Remoteness of any Medarot legs in 2 Core.

In the games[edit]

In Medarot 2[edit]

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.

Strategy[edit]

As a trio of God Emperors is one of the most potent bosses in the entire series, here's a few suggestions to make the battle easier:

  • Do use:
    • Tranculi's Appealsound head will seal Medaforce and make them lose their first action.
    • Pushover attacks will, if timed during the targets' CHG phase, directly damage their heads and make them forget their actions.
    • Confuse them; they may accidentally shoot each other.
    • Equip Head and Arm parts from Kako Moai, Haniwa Mirror and OkeDoguu to nullify their part attacks.
      • Put one part from each onto your Leader, making it invulnerable to everything but Medaforce attacks.
      • Or, only use Haniwa and Doguu parts while stealing their Head uses.
      • Kabuto Version players can use the Bear, Jellyfish and Tortoise Medals' second Medaforces to absorb their respective attacks. If equipped with parts to cover the other attacks (Moai and Haniwa parts on the Jellyfish Medarot, for example), you will be completely invulnerable for a time.
    • Use Bankaran's Reflect actions to cancel and counter their attacks.
  • Do NOT use:
    • Berserk and Snipe actions will leave you unable to dodge - or worse, open to criticals.
    • Float and Tank legs gain no bonuses on any terrain, even Cyber.
    • Many Female parts are targeted by their Medals - Shoot, Strike and Support in particular. Avoid using Pretty Prime's head as a replacement for Bankaran's parts.

In Medarot R[edit]

It's a Medarot used by the Medal God alongside two Beast Masters in his second battle.

In Medarot 3[edit]

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). They use her Jack, Witch and Vehicle Medals, whom she calls "Athos", "Porthos" and "Aramis" (the Three Musketeers).

In Medarot 4[edit]

Kirara uses 3 of them under her "Retort Lady" guise, and can be fought via the Battle Simulator in Ryuutou School, after defeating Orochi.

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

In Medarot Navi[edit]

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

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 Death Laser if the enemy uses a Generator Down action. In comparison to Imagine Kaiser, it is heavier and less accurate, but more powerful and armored.

The graphics for the arms are on the wrong sides in this game, though the attacks themselves come from the right places.

Metabee Shot[edit]

A God Emperor is one of the selectable opponent in Metabee Shot.

In Medabots AX[edit]

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[edit]

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

In Medarot DS[edit]

Its model number is now 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.

Medarot album entry:
Japanese
ヘベレケはかせがつくった
きゅうきょくのメダロット。
へいきのかたまりとも
いうべき、きょういてきな
はかいのうりょくをもち、
ぜんしんからくりだされる
もうこうのまえには、
チリ1つのこらない。

In Medarot 7[edit]

In Medarot Dual[edit]

Its Medaparts can be obtained through the Medagacha after unlocking the third selection.

The player can also fight a modified and amped up God Emperor through the Virtual Challenges number 52, in a snowy battlefield, serving as a throwback to the introduction cutscene of the game where you can see a Rokusho and a Metabee teaming up to defeat a massive God Emperor.

In the anime[edit]

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 Land-Brachios, 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.
