A promotional lineup, featuring Tankdunk, Excise, Blossomail, Unitris and Gun Desperado

Death Medarots (known as Kilobots in the English dub) are a type of Medarot that appear in Medarot Damashii. They are a rival product to Medarots manufactured by the Death Medarot Company and are characterized by their lack of personality and complete obedience. Death Medarots designs lean toward the monstrous and militaristic, though this is not a hard and fast rule.

A Medarotter using a Death Medarot is a referred to as a Death Medarotter (or Rogue Medafighter in the English dub).

Overview

Death Medarots work on the same principles as regular Medarots, sharing their modular part structure and needing to be powered by a Medal. As they are marketed toward those who want the strongest Medarots, they come with functions not found in regular Medarot models: they can reload ammunition mid-fight and are able to replace damaged parts during battle. They are powered by generic Death Medals (EX Medals in the English dub) which, according to Kokuryuu makes the Death Medarots powerful by redirecting the energy that would normally be reserved for emotions into more firepower. As such, Death Medarots have no individual personalities and are completely obedient, being able to perform actions that a regular Medarot might object to, like attacking another Medarot before any agreement to a Robattle has been made, or shooting at human targets. Despite their apparent mindlessness, individual Death Medarots have expressed some emotive mannerisms, such as Frame Cast's speech or Excise stepping back after seemingly being intimidated by Arcbeetle-Dash.

As a byproduct of their emotionless nature, Death Medarots are largely protected agains the effects of the Medaforce, which Nae explains is because the Medaforce taps into the emotional component that Death Medarots lack. This attribute, however, comes with some drawbacks: Death Medarots cannot converse or form bonds with their owners and are so specialized as to be useless for non-combat tasks: one example is Ginkai being unable to stop a moving truck because his Medarotch did not recognize "stop the truck" as a command.

While a scene shows Grain being built around a male Tinpet identical to that of a regular Medarot, Death Medarot parts are seemingly incompatible with regular Medarots, with Peppercat having her circuits fried by a battery and unable to control Death Medarot parts given to her.

Possible Death Medarots

The following models are not shown as complete sets in Medarot Damashii, but have their parts used by a Death Medarot at some point. As Goriongo was portrayed as a regular Medarot in the first anime and Damashii has inconsistent continuity with its predecessor, it is unclear if it is considered a Death Medarot in Damashii or if Death Medarots can use regular Medarot parts (but not the opposite).
