In the manga

In Medarot 2

Ikki could afford a Medarot and he strongly wished for one. However, his parents would not give him permission to get one. A KBT Medarot was in the store, and Ikki would always keep an eye on it. Ikki almost bought it, but there were no Medals in stock, to which Hikaru says that his dog once found one, and that said event would not happen again. Ikki then mistakenly breaks the Medarot and runs from the store.

Ikki tries to find a Medal by making Solty go find it. However, he did not return with one until some tries later, where he coincidentally found a Kabuto Medal. However, Solty was seen by two thieves, who chased Ikki all the way to his house. They challenged Ikki to a Robottle with a DeathPhoenix and a Sabotenna, but as Ikki had no Medarot, both thieves tried to steal the Medal using the Medarots. Solty, who had the Medal, ran to avoid the attacks from the Medarots. Ikki took his and his parent's valuables and went to buy a Medarot to defend himself from the attacks. As the Medarot was broken, it was going to be given to the store manager's son, however Hikaru decided to sell the Medarot to Ikki. It was almost given to the little boy, however it was transported to where Ikki was and he Robottled against the thieves. The KBT Medarot did not obey Ikki, however he beated the thieves quickly. By the second episode, the Medarot was named Metabee.

Mr. Uruchi confunded Ikki's Metabee with Hikaru's, and even Hikaru pointed out this Metabee was exactly the same as his.

Ikki longed for a long time to be a Medarotter. This was not possible since he couldn't afford a Medarot. Luckily for him, he saw a Kabuto Medal in Omikuji City's river. What he didn't know is that said Medal was a rare one. But when he sees his friend Arika being harshly attacked by The Rockers, he runs to the store clerk, Hikaru, and buys a Medarot using the Medal he found. Hikaru gives him his old Metabee's Parts packed, and tells Ikki to name his Medarot Metabee. In the american dub, though, Ikki names his Medarot like this. When Ikki goes to Robottle The Rockers, Metabee showed to be fast and powerful, being capable of beating two HellPhoenix and a Blackmail with a Death Bomb all by himself. He started being a disobedient Medarot, but later Metabee grew up having a bond with his Medarotter. The relationship between both is that of two siblings, fighting for common things like bed and food. However, when it comes to Robottle, both show to be strong and righteous.

Ikki and Metabee went to a World Robottle Tournament, much like Hikaru did back then. An event similar to the Ten Days of Darkness occurred when Ikki was in the finals against Victor and his Warbonnet. However, Ikki could rescue Metabee from his dream before he had to shut down his Medarot like Hikaru did. Both stopped the event to occur, and when Dr. Hebereke saw his plan to make Medarot own the world was screwed, he created a giant Medarot to destroy the city, and later the world, directly and without having to control every Medarot, as his last resort. Dr. Medarot foresaw this, so he built a Giant Metabee to fight Primity Baby. However, it had to be driven by Metabee himself and many other Medarots to power up him. After a long and hard Robottle, Metabee decided to sacrifice himself to save the world. He was short after revived and brought back. After said event, Ikki could end the Robottle against Victor.

A time after these events, a guy named Ginkai and his Death Medarot, Gundesperado, caused riot in the city. This was part of a bigger plan from Kokuryuu to end with the Medarots and that his company models, the Death Medarots, were predominant. Ikki faced Gundesperado with Metabee, however, he lost, despite he used the Medaforce. Ikki got a new Medarotch, the Medarotch Advance, from Nae, aswell as new Parts for his Metabee. As Metabee now could Medachange, he used this capability to skillfully defeat Gundesperado. Metabee's Reckless Mode allows him to transform into a car, gaining mobility this way, whilst his Crafty Mode allows him to shoot an energy ball to his enemy, dealing massive ammount of damage.

Even though Metabee himself is strong, himself alone wasn't enough to fight Grain. Even then, help from other Medarots, namely Dorcus, Tyrrellbeetle and Arcbeetle-Dash (all of them KBT and KWG-types) was needed to stop him, and even that was not enough.
