{{Improve|Stub}}

The '''RoboRobo Gang''' ''(ロボロボ団 Roborobo Dan)'', English name '''Rubberobo Gang''', is a gang of thieves and the group antagonist of several Medarot stories.

The gang originally existed for [[Typhoon|Taiyo]]'s "[[Ten Days of Darkness]]" plan, but even after the defeat of their original leader, the group's existence persisted over the years and were commonly used as pawns by several different antagonists throughout the series.

Their uniform consists in black rubber suits with yellow antennas, but after their defeat in the [[Medarot 1|first game]], the group experienced financial problems and the grunts needed to wear a different green uniform in [[Medarot 2]], [[Medarot R|R]] and [[Medarot 3|3]] and only returning to the iconic black uniform in [[Medarot 4]]. This fact, however, is ignored in [[Medarot 2 Core]] due to the influence of the [[Medarot (anime)|anime]].

As [[Select Corps]] is in charge to stop crimes involving Medarots, the RoboRobo Gang has become their sworn enemies.

== In [[Medarot 1]] ==

According to the game manual's the RoboRobo Gang has been engaging in petty [[Medarot]]-related crimes for years. While the [[Select Corps]] publically opposes it, the RoboRobos have successfully corrupted the organization from within, with every Select Corps lieutnants doubling as RoboRobo executives.

The group devised a plan called the "Alien Hoax" designed to make the populace believe that the RoboRobos are allied with [[Alien]]s. To this end, the group causes a number of mischief including scarring off beachgoers in the [[Harbor Town]] through fake shark sightings, disguising members as monkeys to annoy and steal from villagers in the [[Mountain Village]] and attacking the [[Medal Dig Site]]. However, [[Hikaru Agata]] coincidentally stumbles upon the group's operations and dismantles it, earning the ire of its leader [[Typhoon]].

At the National tournament, Typhoon destroys the [[Medal]] of Hikaru's starter Medarot in a cheap shot and launch in motion his master plan: he fortifies the [[Select Headquarters]] to prevent aerial incursion and activates the "Rampage System", making every Medarot equipped with the [[Select Medal]] rampage indiscriminately. He also has an operative steal the [[Periscope]] to prevent outsiders from accessing the Select Headquarters: however, Hikaru finds the warehouse where it was stored and defeats the RoboRobo member guarding it. Using it to reach the Select Headquarters, Hikaru shuts down the Rampage System and defeats the RoboRobo executives under their real identity, including Typhoon. Typhoon is arrested and taken in by Select Corps officiers, however this defeat did not end the organization.

Generic RoboRobo members can be fought in random encouters. They most often use [[CoffinBat]] and always drop a [[RoboRobo Medal]] when defeated.

Even after Typhoon's defeat and arrest, the gang continued to operate under new leadership. Following their loss in M1, the group faced financial difficulties, leading the grunts to wear inexpensive green uniforms, while only the leaders retained the classic black attire.

The gang managed to recover through an alliance with Dr. Hebereke, who funded them in exchange for their assistance in excavating the ancient ruins beneath Medaropolis. Milky also allied with them, driven by her peculiar desire to collect children, which aligned with the gang's plan to kidnap and recruit young members.

However, their schemes were thwarted by Ikki Tenryou and his friends. The conflict culminated in the defeat of Dr. Hebereke at their secret base on Medarot Island. In a final act of desperation, Hebereke triggered the base's self-destruction, forcing the gang members to flee, only to be captured and arrested by the Select Corps waiting at the entrance.

In the remake, besides God Emperor, he typically uses the duo [[Bayonet]] and [[Solin]], and in the penultimate chapter, he starts using [[Beast Master]]. "Hebereke" means "drunk" or "tipsy" in Japanese.

-In this continuity, after the events of Medarot 1, the group was rebuild by Medal God, who sought revenge for the rejection he faced in his youth. People disliked his unfriendly personality, while they idolized his younger brother despite him being weaker.
-Medal God formed his own group of executives, none of whom returned from Medarot 2. He also received help from two Medal Hunters who pretended to be Phantom Retort and Retort Lady, as well as from Katekin Ten, a double agent working for Medarotters Corporation who provided all information to Medal God. The grunts continued to wear green uniforms for the same reason as in Medarot 2, but the black suits were completely discarded.
-The group established their base in Omikuji Town, with the entrance at the Borone shop convenience store. Their main focus was on building a rocket below the school to travel to the Medal Galaxy first and claim all the glory for themselves. This ambition was why Katekin Ten decided to ally with the villains.
-However, just like in Medarot 2, the group's plans were thwarted by Ikki Tenryou and his friends. With the help of Phantom Retort and Jick, they prevented the rocket from taking off, which would have resulted in the destruction of the school and the innocent people inside. The members were ultimately arrested by the Select Corps.
