Warbonnet (ウォーバニット), known in English as Warbandit, is a lion-type Medarot that first appeared in Medarot 2.

Description

Warbonnet is a Medarot that resembles a lion. As such it has its Shoot Barrel and Range Shooter parts, which aren't very fast but deal a large ammount of damage. To help its speed, it has the Tension Up part that allows it to become much faster.

The name "Warbonnet" refers to the feathered headdresses worn by Native Americans, which its own mane-like headdress is modeled after.

In the games

Warbonnet is often the designated "rival" Medarot, used by Kouji in the Kuwagata versions. Its counterpart in the Kabuto versions is the sabertooth tiger-type, Smilodonad.

In Medarot 2

It appears as Kouji's first Medarot in the Kuwagata versions. Later, he backs up Warbonnet with Sakura-chan.

In Medarot 2 Parts Collection

It, together with Smilodonad, is one of the first two Medarots the player can obtain.

In Medarot 4

The only way to acquire it is through an auction in Medaropolis. Kouji is also seen with his Warbonnet stored in his room, as he is now using Unitris.

Hikaru also uses 2 Warbonnets with Unitris as his leader.

In Medarot 8

Warbonnet makes a reappearance in Medarot 8 as a DLC-exclusive Medarot. It appears along with Smilodonad, Cyandog, and Nio-Heiko in the third DLC mission, which can be downloaded for 300 yen ($2.40).

Its model number is now KLN00.

In the anime

Warbonnet is the Medarot belonging to Victor, apparently having been commanded by him during multiple official robattle tournaments. Warbonnet is a Medarot who possesses a rare Kabuto Medal that allows him to access the Medaforce, though how he gained this Medal is unknown. Warbonnet is a fiercely loyal Medarot, who, as a general rule, displays little to no emotion, but apparently does seem to care somewhat for his owner Victor. Warbonnet is also distinguished as a many-time world champion of multiple World Robottle Championship tournaments.

During the Ten Days of Darkness, Warbonnet (involuntarily) attacked his Medarotter Victor while helping the other Medarots destroy Kenya. After that day, Victor lost trust in Warbonnet, and started to treat him just as a machine rather than a friend. Warbonnet deeply regrets this, and longs for Victor to be his friend again, and so obeys every order in hopes of regaining this forgotten trust.[1]
