This page describes the Medarot model found in Medarot 1 and Navi. For other Metabee models, see Metabee. For information on the character itself, see Metabee (character) or Hikaru's Metabee.
Metabee (メタビー), short for Metal Beetle (メタル・ビートル), is the original rhino beetle-type Medarot, It first appeared as Hikaru's partner Medarot in the Kabuto version of Medarot 1.
In the video games, Hikaru's Metabee (listed as KBT-0) is usually distinguished from Ikki's Metabee (KBT-1), despite them essentially being the same model of Medarot according to the anime and manga series.
Description[edit]
The first of its series, Metabee's design is based on a Japanese rhinoceros beetle, with the missile launchers on its head representing the beetle's branching horns. Its color is mainly goldish-brown with white and black accents.
Metabee is a well-balanced Medarot that specializes in shooting attacks, designed to be compatible with the Kabuto Medal. It has a gun on its right arm designed for speed and accuracy, a machine gun on its left arm for rapid-fire shots, and can fire powerful and accurate tracking missiles from its head part.
This original version of Metabee (KBT-0) can be differentiated from the later versions used by Ikki and Azuma by its darker brown color, and the ends of its shoulder pieces being colored white or yellow instead of black. This "older-style" Metabee has been included in several games past the first one, but usually as more of an Easter egg. Prior to Medarot DS, "KBT-0" could be used to refer to "Hikaru's Metabee".
In the games[edit]
In the video games, Metabee is exclusive to the Kabuto versions. It's a bipedal Medarot with a variety of shooting attacks: a Rifle attack on its right arm, a stronger Gatling attack on its left arm, and a powerful Missile attack on its head that can pierce multiple parts.
Outside of the original game, this version of Metabee usually has its name and parts written in hiragana letters (akin to writing them in a more cursive font) to seperate it from Ikki's KBT-1 model with the same part names.
One notable difference between this model and KBT-1 is that its head part (Missile) has the Explosive attribute instead of Shooting, making it only partially compatible with the Kabuto Medal. This is preserved in its Medarot 2 and Medarot R appearances, but not in Medarot Navi, where its attributes were all changed to Speed giving it full compatibility with the Kabuto Medal.
In Medarot 1[edit]
Metabee is obtained at the beginning of the game in the Kabuto version. After finding a Kabuto Medal dropped by a member of the Rubberobo Gang, Hikaru receives a Tinpet and parts for Metabee from his dad as part of a "Medarot starter kit".
Because it is one-of-a-kind and the game always displays the name of the Tinpet, the default name is never shown during normal gameplay. However, if the player cheats or modifies the game to face an enemy Metabee, it can be seen that the game mistakenly refers to it as "Power Beetle" (パワービートル). This was corrected in the Parts Collection games, where it is referred to as "Metal Beetle".

|
In Medarot 2[edit]
In Medarot 2, the old version of Metabee is treated as a seperate Medarot from the KBT-1 version Ikki uses, although both of them are numbered KBT-0 on the parts list. It can be only obtained by transferring it over from Medarot 1 or the Parts Collection games after clearing the game.
Here, rather than being called Metal Beetle (or Power Beetle), its name was changed to "Metabee" (めたびー) written in hiragana. Its parts were also written in hiragana to distinguish them from Ikki's new parts, which would otherwise have the same names. Its sprite (pictured right) is different from the new version and more closely resembles its sprite from Medarot 1, most likely as an Easter egg for players who transferred it from the original game.
In Medarot R[edit]
The original Metabee appears in Medarot R as well, used by the Phantom Retort and Fake Hikaru.
This game re-organized the model numbers in the KBT line, cementing the original Metabee as KBT-0 and Ikki's Metabee as KBT-1.
It's also used by Rintarou in the rank 2 battle.
[edit]
Metabee reappears in the Kabuto version of Medarot Navi as a Medarot used by Hikaru in the post-game of the Kabuto Version. As Hikaru is only fought once in the postgame (excluding his appearance as the Phantom Retort), the player only has 1 chance per game to obtain one of its Parts.
In Medarot Classics Plus you can collect all 4 of Metabee's parts by simply playing Medaron Navi in new game + four times, or beating the game and selecting the Get all parts function.
Its model number is KBT-0BH and its name and part names are written in hiragana, much like the ones found in Medarot 2 and R. Its sprite also has a scratch over one eye to match the appearance of Hikaru's Metabee in the later parts of the manga series.

Kasumi's Childhood Metabee[edit]
A Metabee is seen with Kasumi Asano in the Medarot Navi manga, but it is explained that he died being the hero and saving another Medarot from a car accident, but as a result ends up dead. This fuels Kasumi's attempt to bring him back.

Kasumi found and loaded a new Kabuto Medal inside his old Metabee, but the new Metabee has a stubborn and reckless personality, which Kasumi doesn't initially didn't like. However, these two become friends and had gone on adventures after being invited to Cluster, with Metabee later using Granbeetle parts on Cluster. That Metabee took part in a fight with Shiden and his Metabee, but Shiden loses due to his poor strategy, and Kasumi's worlds get Shiden to think later on about his choices.
