Saikachis (サイカチス), known in English as Saikachi, is a rhino beetle-type Medarot that first appeared in Medarot 3 and as an upgrade to Metabee. Saikachis also appears as a character in Medarot Damashii, under the name of Metabee. "Saikachis" is from "Saikachimushi", the name for Japanese rhinocerus beetles in south-Kanto district, Japan.

Description

Saikachis is a Medarot similar to a Beetle. Being a KBT type, it is mostly focused on shooting, which makes it suitable to wear shoot-based medals, specially the Kabuto one. However, its Medachange form allows it to also shoot a powerful cannon attack and wear down enemies quickly, and to move easily in terrains like cities and stadiums.

In the games

Note: In Medarot 3 and 4 stats, including Medachange, a stat listed as a / b (for example 1 / 2) means that the stat a belongs to Medarot 3, while the stat b belongs to Medarot 4.

In Medarot 3

Ikki Tenryou appears with Metabee as his Medarot prior to the Kabuto version of the game, but soon he replaces his parts with Saikachis's ones, which enable him to perform a Medachange.

In Medarot 4

Saikachis appears as Ikki's first Medarot in the Kabuto version, already upgraded from Metabee.

Library description: Beetle type Medarot. An expert in strong attacks!

In Medarot Navi

Saikachis is seen in the Kabuto version of Navi, used by Ikki during the postgame; the Kuwagata version sees him using Dorcus instead.

In Medarot Brave

Quote: A containing attack by Right Arm. A counter by Left Arm. Missile to finish! I'm perfect!

Saikachis is seen as owned by Ikki in Medarot Brave. He is the first Medarot the player can acquire.

In Medarot DS

Its model number is now KBT05-M.

It can only be acquired via an event held between May 27th and June 7th, 2010, or by winning another player via Wifi who uses this Medarot.

In Medarot 8

The "C" was added at the end of its model number to signify having a Medachange.

In the anime

Saikachis appears for the first time when Miss Nae gives Ikki new parts for his Metabee. This was because Metabee couldn't fight Ginkai's Gundesperado, a Death Medarot. The fact it was a Death Medarot made its attacking parts useless, and the Medaforce couldn't deal damage, as they are based on feelings and a Death Medarot's medal has no feelings, and thus can't use or receive damage from a Medaforce. Even when keeping his name, Metabee changed his parts to Saikachis ones, which allowed it to perform a Medachange, and now, as a car, it could defeat Gundesperado by making its head hit the ground.

He is voiced by Junko Takeuchi, and in the english dub, by Joe Motiki.
