Gran Beetle is a KBT-model Medarot and the mascot of Medarot Navi's Kabuto Version. Its Kuwagata-version counterpart is Sonic Stag.

Description

Gran Beetle is Kasumi Asano's principal Medarot in the Kabuto version of Medarot Navi. Its Right Arm carries a fast Rifle weapon while its Left features a strong Gatling. Unlike other models of the KBT-series, Gran Beetle's head features a high-power Rifle instead of a Missile attack; though plenty strong, it does not benefit from the perfect accuracy of Bomb attacks. Its Leg part is Two-Legged.

Capable of Medachange, Gran Beetle can take on the form of a hover tank. In addition to its Leg Type, Float, its Drive A is where the Missile weapon went (which, as mentioned above, is normally the standard Head attack). Drives B and C allow it to both set and fire a X-Attack, giving it substantial attack power on its own (though having outside support would remove the limitation of only being able to X-Attack Fire every other turn).

Appearances

Medarot Navi

Shortly after having his East Medal stolen, Kasumi Asuno is compelled to visit the Old School by a mysterious voice. Underneath its gymnasium is a small cave housing a lost Kabuto Medal alongside the mysterious plant-alien, Mistral.

Kasumi gets a chance to use this Medal when the space station Cluster is set adrift during the class field trip. Locked inside an armored vault by fellow student Shiden Murasame, he finds Gran Beetle just as a duo of security Medarots bear down on him. Using his new Medal to take command of the dormant Medarot, Kasumi wins the Robottle and utilizes the Medaforce to blast the door open.

The two remain together for the remainder of the game, with Kasumi leveraging Gran Beetle's abilities at several points throughout the story. Realizing the Medarot does not truly belong to him, Kasumi leaves a note on the laboratory doors apologizing for the trouble.
