This page describes the Medarot model found in Medarot 2, 3, 4, and 2 Core. For other Metabee models, see Metabee. For information on the character itself, see Metabee (character).

Metabee (メタビー) is the original KBT-model Medarot, based on a rhino beetle. Specifically, KBT-1 refers to the slightly updated version used by Ikki Tenryou in Medarot 2.

Description

As a KBT-type Medarot, Metabee is naturally suited to the Kabuto Medal and specializes in shooting attacks. Like its predecessor KBT-0, Metabee's head resembles that of a rhino beetle with its single split-ended horn. It also features a much brighter color scheme than the older Medarot.

Metabee's attack style revolves around its many styles of shooting weapons. The Head part contains a Missile with perfect accuracy and high power. The Right Arm uses a semi-automatic Rifle for quick and accurate strikes. The Left Arm features a rapid-fire Gatling for heavy assault. And its bipedal are perfect for dominating Grass and Forest battlefields.

In the games

In Medarot 2

During the events of Medarot 2, Metabee is Ikki's first Medarot, given to him by Hikaru Agata who sells Ikki a Tinpet and parts instead of a Retort Curry after his mother sends him to the store with a sum of money. However, despite his best efforts, he can't make Metabee work, as he was given no accompanying medal. After his subsequent scolding by his mom, his father brings him back a Kabuto Medal, who unbeknownst to Ikki, had been given to his father by the elusive Phantom Retort.

In this game Metabee's model number is KBT-0, the same as Hikaru's Metabee. with notable differences being stronger armor and the 'Missile' part being of the Shooting or Speed attributes giving him full compatibility with the Kabuto Medal

In Medarot R

Is obtainable at the start of the game.

In Medarot 3

In the events of Medarot 3, Metabee appears as a default character in the game, already in the ownership of Ikki. Shortly after his parts are upgraded and replaced by the new KBT-30 Saikachis series Medaparts.

Metabee is a rebellious, hotheaded, and brash Medarot with a sarcastic, cheeky and stingy attitude --- similar to his equally stubborn counterpart from the anime.

In Medarot 4

Metabee doesn't appear as the character's main Medarot (it must be traded from Medarot 3), as Ikki already upgraded Metabee to Saikachis. But it does appears as an opponent Medarot. One example of this is a scientist in the Medarot Corporation who has a Metabee with a King Medal.

Its stats remain unchanged from Medarot 3

In the anime

Main Article: Ikki's Metabee

In the television series, Metabee is a KBT-type Medarot (Model KBT-11220 in the English dub) belonging to Ikki Tenryou, specializing in projectile weaponry and revolver tactics. Although outdated, he also possesses a rare Kabuto Medal which grants him to access the Medaforce. He is known to be quite aggressive and stubborn, and often causes problems due to his headstrong personality. He is often disobedient to his owner Ikki, but shares a close bond with him, and so, Ikki trusts him deeply.

In the Medarot Damashii season, Ikki changes Metabee's parts to the new Medachange-capable Saikachis model, while keeping his name the same.
