Select Corps

The Select Corps (セレクト隊 Serekuto-tai), sometimes referred to as the Select Force, is a security maintenance organization or police organization that deals with incidents related to Medarots. It's their duty to establish order so that Medarots aren't misused. Due to this RoboRobo Gang became their sworn enemies.

However, the group is not without flaws as corrupt members were the first leaders of RoboRobo Gang, creating an ironic connection between the two groups; and many of its members are lazy or incompetent, often stealing for themselves the merit of cases that were actually solved by people like Ikki Tenryou.

Their headquarters are in large cities such as Medaropolis and Meda City, and there are branches in various places.

Its members typically use dinosaur type Medarots like Attack-Tyranno, Air-Ptera and Land-Brachio.

In the games

Medarot 1

In the instruction manual, the Select Corps is described as having been fighting the RoboRobo Gang for years. Hikaru's father Beisuke works as an architect for the under-construction Select Headquarters. The organisation distributes the Select Medal, which is advertised as theft-proof and quick to learn.

After Hikaru acquires his starter Medal, he goes to his town's Select Corps office to return it but is advised to keep it by the officer. Before heading to the Harbor Town, Hikaru can return to the Select office to be given five RoboRobo Medals.

Later, the Select Headquarters comes under attack by the RoboRobo Gang. Hikaru enters the premise and drives off the attackers, defeating the RoboRobo executive Suzume. Later, Hikaru fends off another RoboRobo attack at the Digging Site, getting some assistance from Select Corps officers. After he defeats Typhoon, Hikaru is advised to go to his local Select office to receive a reward for his deed. If he accepts the first offer, he receives a Female Tinpet (the first opportunity to get one in his adventure). If not, he receives a Male Tinpet.

The Select Captain Commander Taiyo is the final opponent to be fought in the World Championship. However, Hikaru learns that he is actually Typhoon, leader of the RoboRobos. Typhoon breaks Hikaru's medal and executes his master plan, activating the "Rampage System" that makes every Medarot equipped with the Select Medal go berserk. Access to the Select Headquarters is sealed off as the bridge leading to it is retracted and the RoboRobos deploy a screen to prevent air access. However, Hikaru manages to acquire the Periscope from a RoboRobo gang member, using it to access the HQ. Eventually, Hikaru reaches the top floor of the building and defeats Typhoon in batte. Typhoon's Beast Master rampages and brings down the building. After this, Taiyo is apprehended by the authorities and the Select Corps is presumably reformed.
