Mach Massive (マッハマッシヴ) is a somewhat obscure KWG-type Medarot that first appeared in the Medarotter Rintarou manga, and later in Medarot Navi. It was designed by the manga artist of the Rintarou series, Fujioka Kenki, and is considered to be the KWG-series equivalent to Kantaros.

Description

Mach Massive resembles a more angular and mechanical version of Head Scissors, much like how Kantaros looks compared to Metal Beetle. Like Head Scissors, it has a Sword on its right arm and a Hammer on its left.

In the manga

Mach Massive appeared in Medarotter Rintarou and the sequel Medarot R as the Medarot used by the famous "Hyper Medarotter" Ryou Kaiba. Its model number is KWG-2015, making it slightly older than Rintarou's Kantaros (model KBT-2020). It uses the same part names as Head Scissors.

Considering that the manga uses a different system for model numbers than the games, it's possible that Mach Massive was simply intended to be what the KWG model Head Scissors would look like in the year 2015, five years after Medarot 1. Given how everyone in Rintarou manga series names their Medarots, Mach Massive is most likely a nickname given to the Medarot by Ryou Kaiba.

Ryou's Mach Massive is known for its amazing speed, and has a finishing move called "Thousands Clinger" (サウンザンズ クリンガー) where it attacks with its sword and carves the word "Mach" (マッハ) into the opponent's armor.

In the games

Its first appearance in a video game was in Medarot Navi, where it is used by Rintarou in place of Kantaros in the Kuwagata version. (Its "true" Medarotter, Ryou Kaiba, has never appeared in a video game.) Compared to the Head Scissors available in Navi, Mach Massive's parts have the exact same functions, but are slightly weaker in power, success, and armor (although they also take slightly less AP). It later returned in Medarot 8 as downloadable content.

In Medarot Navi

Its model number is KWG-3BF to match Kantaros, with the suffix BF to signify it was created "before Navi" and designed by Fujioka Kenki (a trait only shared with Kantaros, Arcbeetle, and Blossomail). The spelling of its name was also changed slightly (to マッハマッシブ), and it was given new part names to further differentiate it from Head Scissors.

In Medarot 8

Mach Massive makes a reappearance in Medarot 8 as a DLC-exclusive Medarot. It appears along with Kantaros and Rollstar in the first DLC mission, which can be downloaded for free.

Its model number under the new numbering scheme is KWG03, but its in-game album entry makes reference to it being "Type 2015 of KWG00 Head Scissors" like it was in its original manga appearance. Unlike Medarot Navi, it now uses the original spelling of its name (マッハマッシヴ).

In Medarot 9

Mach Massive was added to the regular Medarot album in Medarot 9, but as of yet it is unknown how to obtain it. This game also introduced a new, alternate version of Mach Massive called Mach Massive R with the model number KWG03R, which is only obtainable by entering a password given to players who signed up for the Medarotters Fan Club.
