Metabee (KBT-0): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:53, 26 February 2012

Metal Beetle (メタル・ビートル) is the original KBT-type Medarot, appearing as Hikaru Agata's first Medarot in the manga and Kabuto version of Medarot 1. It is an older version of Ikki's Medarot, Metabee.

Description

Based on a Japanese rhinoceros beetle (or "kabutomushi" in Japanese), Metal Beetle is a well-balanced Medarot that specializes in shooting attacks.

In the games

In Medarot

In the Kabuto version, Metal Beetle is obtained at the beginning of the game. After finding a Kabuto Medal, dropped by a member of the Rubberobo Gang, Hikaru receives the parts for Metal Beetle from his dad, as part of a "Medarot starter kit" that also includes a Tinpet.

Because it is one of a kind and the player is forced to name their Tinpet, the default name Metal Beetle is normally never seen.

In Medarot 2

In Medarot 2, Metal Beetle is treated as a seperate Medarot from Ikki's Metabee, despite both of them being numbered KBT-0 in-game. It can be obtained by trading from the original Medarot games.

Here, rather than being called Metal Beetle, its name becomes "metabee" (めたびー metabii) written in hiragana. Its parts are also written in hiragana to distinguish them from Ikki's Metabee parts, which otherwise would sound the same.

In Medarot Navi

In this game, Hikaru owns Metal Beetle, which is named in the same way as Medarot 2.

In Medarot DS

It has appeared in the demos. However, his parts are renamed as Metamissile, Metarevolver and Metamachinegun (nothing is known about the legs part).
