The RoboRobo Gang (ロボロボ団 Roborobo Dan), English name Rubberobo Gang, is a gang of thieves and the group antagonist of several Medarot stories.

The gang originally existed for Taiyo's "Ten Days of Darkness" plan, but even after the defeat of their original leader, the group's existence persisted over the years and were commonly used as pawns by several different antagonists throughout the series.

Their uniform consists in black rubber suits with yellow antennas, but after their defeat in the first game, the group experienced financial problems and the grunts needed to wear a different green uniform in Medarot 2, R and 3 and only returning to the iconic black uniform in Medarot 4. This fact, however, is ignored in Medarot 2 Core due to the influence of the anime.

As Select Corps is in charge to stop crimes involving Medarots, the RoboRobo Gang has become their sworn enemies.

In Medarot 1

According to the game manual's the RoboRobo Gang has been engaging in petty Medarot-related crimes for years. While the Select Corps publically opposes it, the RoboRobos have successfully corrupted the organization from within, with every Select Corps lieutnants doubling as RoboRobo executives.

The group devised a plan called the "Alien Hoax" designed to make the populace believe that the RoboRobos are allied with Aliens. To this end, the group causes a number of mischief including scarring off beachgoers in the Harbor Town through fake shark sightings, disguising members as monkeys to annoy and steal from villagers in the Mountain Village and attacking the Medal Dig Site. However, Hikaru Agata coincidentally stumbles upon the group's operations and dismantles it, earning the ire of its leader Typhoon.

At the National tournament, Typhoon destroys the Medal of Hikaru's starter Medarot in a cheap shot and launch in motion his master plan: he fortifies the Select Headquarters to prevent aerial incursion and activates the "Rampage System", making every Medarot equipped with the Select Medal rampage indiscriminately. He also has an operative steal the Periscope to prevent outsiders from accessing the Select Headquarters: however, Hikaru finds the warehouse where it was stored and defeats the RoboRobo member guarding it. Using it to reach the Select Headquarters, Hikaru shuts down the Rampage System and defeats the RoboRobo executives under their real identity, including Typhoon. Typhoon is arrested and taken in by Select Corps officiers, however this defeat did not end the organization.

Generic RoboRobo members can be fought in random encouters. They most often use CoffinBat and always drop a RoboRobo Medal when defeated.
