Description

The first of its series, Metabee's design is based on a Japanese rhinoceros beetle, with the missile-launchers on its head representing the beetle's branching horns. Its color is mainly gold or yellow with white and black accents.

Metabee is a well-balanced Medarot that specializes in shooting attacks, designed to be compatible with the Kabuto Medal. It has a gun on its right arm designed for speed and accuracy, a machine gun on its left arm for rapid-fire shots, and can fire powerful and accurate tracking missiles from its head part.

The names of its individual parts are: Missile (head), Revolver (right arm), Submachinegun (left arm), and Ochitsuker (legs). The name "Ochitsuker" comes from the Japanese word "ochitsuku", which means to steady or settle down, in reference to the legs' balancing ability. The name was changed to "Ochitsuka" in the English releases.

In the games

In the video games, Metabee is exclusive to the Kabuto versions. It is a bipedal Medarot with a variety of shooting attacks: a Rifle attack on its right arm, a Gatling attack on its left arm, and a powerful Missile attack on its head that can pierce multiple parts.

When compared to Rokusho, Metabee can be considered to be the more offense-oriented Medarot. Unlike Rokusho which has a Scan action on its head, all of Metabee's parts are focused on attacking.
