[[ | The '''X-Project''' (X計画) was the name of a recurring feature in [[Comic BomBom]] involving a series of fan-made [[Medarot]] (or "[[Ori-Meda]]") contests. The winning entries became official Medarots and appeared in several Medarot games and manga. In-universe, the "X-Project" was tied heavily to the "X Medals" in the [[Medarotter Rintarou]] and [[Medarot R (manga)|Medarot R]] manga series by [[Fujioka Kenki]]. | ||
[[Medarot Navi]] featured the most X-Project Medarots and labeled some by putting an -X suffix on their model numbers. Rather than being fan-submitted, many of the Medarots were suggested or designed by other artists in Comic BomBom and modified by Fujioka Kenki to match the game's art style. | |||
Some X Medarots, such as [[Tyrrellbeetle]], were designed using elements from several fan-submitted Medarots. | |||

Although it wasn't called the X-Project at the time, the arm parts for these Medarots were designed as part of the "Original Parts Contest Grand Prix" (オリジナルパーツコンテストグランプリ) where readers were asked to design arm parts for Metabee to equip in the [[Medarotter Rintarou]] manga series. The names of the Medarotters who use them in the game (Hitoshi and Kazuki respectively) may be a reference to the fans who submitted them. | Although it wasn't called the X-Project at the time, the arm parts for these Medarots were designed as part of the "Original Parts Contest Grand Prix" (オリジナルパーツコンテストグランプリ) where readers were asked to design arm parts for Metabee to equip in the [[Medarotter Rintarou]] manga series.
