''<span style="font-size:11px;">This page describes the Medarot model found in Medarot DS onwards. For other Metabee models, see [[Metabee]]. For information on the character itself, see [[Metabee (character)]].</span>

'''Metabee''' (メタビー), short for '''Metal Beetle''' ({{r|メタル・ビートル|Metaru Biitoru}}), is the original rhino beetle-type [[Medarot]]. The model number KBT00-M specifically refers to the version of Metabee that appears in [[Medarot DS]] and all subsequent games.

== Description ==

Although essentially the same model of Medarot, this version of [[Metabee]] can usually be distinguished from the versions used by [[Hikaru]] and [[Ikki]] by its lighter yellow/orange body (similar to [[Metabee (KBT-1)|KBT-1]]) combined with the ends of its shoulder pieces being colored white or pale yellow (much like [[Metabee (KBT-0)|KBT-0]]). The names for its head and arm parts have been changed to '''Meta-Missile''', '''Meta-Revolver''', and '''Meta-Machinegun''', but its leg part name is unchanged.

Unlike previous versions of Metabee, KBT00-M favors its left arm's machine gun for fast, light attacks, and uses its right arm for more carefully aimed shots, making it "left-handed" in comparison to other Metabee models.

In Medarot 9, this version of KBT00-M was reclassified as [[Metabee (KBT01-M)|KBT01-M]] due to its similarity to Ikki's [[Metabee (KBT-1)|KBT-1]] model. A new version of Metabee labeled KBT00-M was added in its place, with a brown coloration similar to Hikaru's [[Metabee (KBT-0)|KBT-0]].

== In the games ==

The KBT00-M version of Metabee is the player's starter Medarot in the Kabuto versions of Medarot DS, 7, 8, Dual, and Girls Mission. It can only be obtained in the Kuwagata version by trading parts or by winning link battles.

Like other versions of Metabee, it has a [[Missile]] attack on its head, [[Rifle]] on its right arm, and [[Gatling]] on its left. However, its left arm now uses the [[Shoot (skill)|Shoot]] skill, while its right arm Rifle is more powerful and uses [[Snipe (skill)|Snipe]].

=== In Medarot DS ===

At the beginning of the game, after [[Azuma]] sees his friends [[Chitose]] and [[Taruto]] defeated by [[The Willows]], his dog leads him home and points him to a [[Kabuto Medal]] sitting in his dad's office. Azuma decides to borrow the Medal, and quickly runs off to purchase a [[Tinpet]] and parts from [[Ikki]], who works at the local convenience store. Although Azuma doesn't have quite enough money, Ikki makes an exception and sells him Metabee's parts at a discount after seeing the Medal he brought with him. After being shown how to assemble his new Medarot, Azuma runs back to the park to win back Chitose and Taruto's parts. 

=== In Medarot 7 ===

In contrast to Medarot DS, Azuma receives Metabee along with a Tinpet and a Kabuto Medal in a package sent from his father, who is working away from home. Azuma assembles it on his own, but finds that it still doesn't work, so he takes it to Ikki at the local convenience store who helps him update his [[Medarotch]] App and shows him the basics of how to Robottle.

=== In Medarot Dual ===

Metabee is first introduced as the Medarot the player must use for their MMF qualification test. After you pass the test and join the MMF, he is assigned to you as your partner Medarot, despite his complaints about being paired up with a beginner.

=== In Medarot 9 ===

This game reclassified the previous KBT00-M version of Metabee as [[Metabee (KBT01-M)|KBT01-M]], and added a new version of KBT00-M in its place. The new version has a darker brown coloration as opposed to yellow, much like the original [[Metabee (KBT-0)|KBT-0]] model of Metabee used by [[Hikaru]] in [[Medarot 1]]. 

Unlike the KBT01-M model that appears as an antagonist in the game's story, the KBT00-M model can't be obtained during normal gameplay, and was distributed exclusively for Kabuto version players in the game's 10th Spotpass event. Its Kuwagata version counterpart is [[Rokusho (KWG01-M)|KWG01-M Rokusho]], which was similarly unobtainable.

Stats-wise its parts are identical to KBT01's, except for the legs which have slightly lower armor and higher mobility/shooting.

=== In Medarot Girls Mission ===

Metabee is the partner Medarot of Minori Hojo, the main character in the Kabuto version of the game. Unlike in Medarot 9, KBT00-M Metabee has a yellow color scheme here.

-He is competitive and often lazy, often called in sleeping during robattles. He hates being called 'a piece of junk', and often refuses to listen to Azuma. He gets glee from fighting and goes as far as to call it fun, but despite these negative traits, he is loyal and actually kinder than what he lets on.
