Metal Beetle (メタル・ビートル) is the original KBT-type Medarot, appearing as Hikaru Agata's first Medarot in the manga and Kabuto version of Medarot 1. It is an older version of Ikki's Medarot, Metabee.

Description

The first of its series, Metal Beetle is based on a Japanese rhinoceros beetle (or "kabutomushi" in Japanese); this is signified by the shape of its single "horn" that splits into two at the end. Its parts are white armor trimming a dark yellow base; this shade of yellow makes it easy to identify among its fellow KBT-models.

Metal Beetle is a well-balanced Medarot that specializes in shooting attacks. Its Head part fires Missiles with perfect accuracy and high strength. The Left Arm's Gatling attack is also strong and deals stronger-than-normal Critical Hits. The Right Arm's Rifle attack makes up for its relatively low power with extreme speed. Finally, its Two Legs are quite nimble over Grass and Forest.

In the Games

In Medarot 1

In the Kabuto version, Metal Beetle is obtained at the beginning of the game. After finding a Kabuto Medal, dropped by a member of the Rubberobo Gang, Hikaru receives the parts for Metal Beetle from his dad, as part of a "Medarot starter kit" that also includes a Tinpet.

Because it is one of a kind and the player is forced to name their Tinpet, the default name Metal Beetle is normally never seen.

In Medarot 2

In Medarot 2, Metal Beetle is treated as a seperate Medarot from Ikki's Metabee, despite both of them being numbered KBT-0 in-game. It can be obtained by trading from the original Medarot games.

Here, rather than being called Metal Beetle, its name becomes "Metabee" (めたびー metabii) written in hiragana. Its parts are also written in hiragana to distinguish them from Ikki's Metabee parts, which otherwise would sound the same.

In Medarot Navi

Hikaru owns Metal Beetle, which is named in the same way as Medarot 2, in the game's Kabuto version.

In Medarot DS

It has appeared in the demos. However, his parts are renamed as Metamissile, Metarevolver and Metamachinegun (nothing is known about the legs part).
