A '''Tinpet''' (<span style="cursor: help;" title="Tinpetto">ティンペット</span>) is a metallic frame that functions as the skeleton of a [[Medarot]]. It features a hatch on the back that holds the [[Medal]] and provides a base upon which to attach different [[Parts]]. Tinpets come in male and female versions, which are used for different types of Medarots. | |||

In their basic form without any parts attached, Tinpets are humanoid. The head contains an electronic "brain" that transmits signals from the Medal and various sensors. Their arms and legs are made out of "Muscle Cables", a special type of cable designed by [[Dr. Medarot]] that can expand or contract when electrical signals are run through it. In this way, the cables function as bones when standing still and muscles when in motion, allowing the Medarot to move easily | In their basic form without any parts attached, Tinpets are humanoid.

In this way, the cables function as bones when standing still and muscles when in motion, allowing the Medarot to move easily. This also allows for a variety of body types, since the cables can be stretched out and looped around inside the parts and still function the same way. | ||

Parts are not technically required for a Medarot to work, but they serve as protection for the Tinpet which holds most of the electronics. Tinpets are made to be very strong so that they don't get broken in battles, even when the parts covering it are damaged or destroyed. | ||

Female Medarots are often geared more towards support, though pure attacking-based female Medarots do exist. Most female Medarots have feminine features and tend to be more popular with girls in the Medarot universe. | ||
Some attacks and actions are more common with female parts than male ones, especially in the earlier games. In particular [[Thunder]] and [[Freeze]] attacks, as well as healing parts, could only be found on female Medarots in [[Medarot 1]]. | Some attacks and actions are more common with female parts than male ones, especially in the earlier games.

Before a battle, you can choose up to 3 from any of your Tinpets so long as they have a Medal and all 4 parts attached. Tinpets with Medals but no parts are not considered usable. | Before a battle, you can choose up to 3 from any of your Tinpets so long as they have a Medal and all 4 parts attached. Tinpets with Medals but no parts are not considered usable. Battles are considered over once the "leader" Medarot (the first one you selected) has its head part destroyed, which causes the Medarot to shut down. | ||
In Medarot 1 and 2, you name your Tinpets, and your Medarots' names are decided by the Tinpets they use. In the later games, it was changed so that you name the Medals instead. | In Medarot 1 and 2, you name your Tinpets, and your Medarots' names are decided by the Tinpets they use.
