Although essentially the same model of Medarot, this version of [[Metabee]] can be distinguished from the versions used by [[Hikaru]] and [[Ikki]] by its lighter yellow/orange body (similar to [[Metabee (KBT-1)|KBT-1]]) combined with the ends of its shoulder pieces being colored white or pale yellow (much like [[Metabee (KBT-0)|KBT-0]]). The names for its head and arm parts have been changed to '''Meta-Missile''', '''Meta-Revolver''', and '''Meta-Machinegun''', but its leg part name is unchanged.

Unlike previous versions of Metabee, KBT00-M favors its left arm's machine gun for fast, light attacks, and uses its right arm for more carefully aimed shots, making it "left-handed" in comparison to other Metabee models.

In Medarot 9, the previous version of KBT00-M was reclassified as [[Metabee (KBT01-M)|KBT01-M]] due to its similarity to Ikki's [[Metabee (KBT-1)|KBT-1]] model. A new version of KBT00-M was added in its place, with a brown coloration similar to Hikaru's [[Metabee (KBT-0)|KBT-0]].

Metabee (メタビー), short for Metal Beetle (メタル・ビートル), is the original rhino beetle-type Medarot. The model number KBT00-M specifically refers to the version of Metabee that appears in Medarot DS and all subsequent games.

Description

Although essentially the same model of Medarot, this version of Metabee can usually be distinguished from the versions used by Hikaru and Ikki by its lighter yellow/orange body (similar to KBT-1) combined with the ends of its shoulder pieces being colored white or pale yellow (much like KBT-0). The names for its head and arm parts have been changed to Meta-Missile, Meta-Revolver, and Meta-Machinegun, but its leg part name is unchanged.

Unlike previous versions of Metabee, KBT00-M favors its left arm's machine gun for fast, light attacks, and uses its right arm for more carefully aimed shots, making it "left-handed" in comparison to other Metabee models.

In Medarot 9, the previous version of KBT00-M was reclassified as KBT01-M due to its similarity to Ikki's KBT-1 model. A new version of KBT00-M was added in its place, with a brown coloration similar to Hikaru's KBT-0.

In the games

The KBT00-M version of Metabee is the player's starter Medarot in the Kabuto versions of Medarot DS, 7, 8, and Dual. It can only be obtained in the Kuwagata version by trading parts or by winning link battles.

Like other versions of Metabee, it has a Missile attack on its head, Rifle on its right arm, and Gatling on its left. However, its left arm now uses the Shoot skill, while its right arm Rifle is more powerful and uses Snipe.

In Medarot DS

At the beginning of the game, after Azuma sees his friends Chitose and Taruto defeated by The Willows, his dog leads him home and points him to a Kabuto Medal sitting in his dad's office. Azuma decides to borrow the Medal, and quickly runs off to purchase a Tinpet and parts from Ikki, who works at the local convenience store. Although Azuma doesn't have quite enough money, Ikki makes an exception and sells him Metabee's parts at a discount after seeing the Medal he brought with him. After being shown how to assemble his new Medarot, Azuma runs back to the park to win back Chitose and Taruto's parts.

In Medarot 7

In contrast to Medarot DS, Azuma receives Metabee along with a Tinpet and a Kabuto Medal in a package sent from his father, who is working away from home. Azuma assembles it on his own, but finds that it still doesn't work, so he takes it to Ikki at the local convenience store who helps him update his Medarotch App and shows him the basics of how to Robottle.

In Medarot Dual

Metabee is first introduced as the Medarot the player must use for their MMF qualification test. After you pass the test and join the MMF, he is assigned to you as your partner Medarot, despite his complaints about being paired up with a beginner.

In Medarot 9

This game reclassified the previous KBT00-M version of Metabee as KBT01-M, and added a new version of KBT00-M in its place. The new version has a darker brown coloration as opposed to yellow, much like the original KBT-0 model of Metabee used by Hikaru in Medarot 1. It is currently unknown how to obtain the new brown version of Metabee in the game.
