Medabots (Video Game)	comment	Medabots, also known as Medarot, is a Japanese video game franchise that's better known in the States as an anime series. The first game of the series was released in 1997 for the Game Boy and went on to spawn many sequels and spin-offs, as well as the aforementioned anime and a four-volume manga.The series's main gimmick is that its Medabots are fully customizable. Every Medabot consists of four parts: head, right arm, left arm and legs that can be interchanged between battles (and in the anime, even during them). Every time you win a Robattle, you take one of the opponent's Medaparts, adding to your collection and battle options. Furthermore, every Medabot is powered by a medal, which serves as its brain, and allows it to use powerful moves called Medaforce. Most games are released in two versions, similar to PokÃ©mon, with certain parts and medals exclusive to one version, encouraging players to trade and battle each other.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
Medabots (Video Game) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Although the anime is generally comedic and light-hearted, it still has several serious and dramatic moments that are way darker than anything you'll find in the games. The murder of of Fushihara and the Ten Days of Darkness being prime examples. Sort of a mix in Medabots: Spirits when compared to the original series. The original series features the Rubberrobo gang and Dr. Meta-evil, stealing medals as part of a global domination plan. The revelation of the truth behind the Ten Days of Darkness was the darkest moment in the entire anime series. While it is true that Medabots: Spirits involved smaller and more personal stakes, as a result of that, the villains (especially Kam) were portrayed as particularly mean-spirited. Unlike the Rubberrobo gang who were practically medal thieves, Kam had no qualms with destroying his opponents' medals, an event that was only invoked once in the original series.

Michael thanked Dr. Meta-Evil for sticking up for him, and decided that he shall not force the Medabots to revolt if they don't want to. He ejected his own medal, reverting himself back into an ordinary cat.

Medarot 2 introduced Sumilidon and Warbandit as Kouji's main Medabot; he has the saber-tooth tiger Sumilidon in Metabee version and king lion Warbandit in the Rokusho version. Since the anime took Metabee version as its basis, Kouji stuck with Sumilidon and Warbandit ended up with Victor of Team Kenya.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_1ebbdddb	comment	In the anime, the Medaforce is reserved only for robots with Rare Medals. Attacking sinks all the robot's energy into one strike, but the attack is very risky. During its debut, it's established that the user can't fight after losing their power, leaving them defenseless. In some cases, using it may even damage the Medabot's own body. Also, unlike in the games, a robot using the Medaforce does not master it immediately, Metabee was unable to use it except in times of great need, though eventually he became able to invoke it freely.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_1f39b662	comment	Discard and Draw: In the transition to Medabot Spirits, Metabee and Ikki learn that their Medaforce is completely useless against even low-level Kilobots, but later Metabee gets to upgrade to the new Saikachi model, which comes complete with an action mode (read: vehicle form) that gives them extra tactical options. Later, Spirits attempted to undo this by "explaining" that Metabee's Medaforce had been too weak and now might now actually do some damage to Kilobots. They successfully manage to do 1% damage to Redrun's head. It's then subverted later when all attempts to use the Medaforce later on do major levels of damage, as a team or alone.

Kouji attempts to earn one for Sumilodon with the Shadow Sword, not that it's ever shown to work. Sumilodon later gets the Extreme Shadow Sword as a personal Medaforce attack. In Spirits, Metabee ends up being upgraded from his original KBT-1 body (Metabee) to a KBT-5 body (Saikachis, though still called "Metabee"). This can get confusing, since Spirits also features Roks (KWG-5), as an Expy of the original anime's Rokusho (KWG-1) (with the same voice actor, no less).

Medabots (Video Game) / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: Every single medapart that Metabee wins, can serve as part of a fighting strategy later. In Episode 8, Metabee wins a Decoy Claw from Norbert's Kuraba, a Medapart that's effective for hand to hand combat - which makes it a perfect match for Cyandog's Monkey medal. The Invisiarm he wins from Multikolor in Episode 17 allows him to counter Sumilidon's Shadow Sword attack in Episode 34. The web shooting arm won in Episode 20 comes in handy in Episode 32, when Metabee sticks down one of Shrimplips' Medabots, meaning it couldn't dodge an incoming attack from one of it's teammates - funny, considering Ikki won the part from Shrimplips in the first place.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_286141a2	comment	Unexpectedly Dark Episode: Applies for Episode 51 of the original Japanese dub - With regards to the revelation of the truth behind the Ten Days of Darkness and the real history of the Medabots (The English dub glossed over some details since it was particularly dark and intense compared to the rest of the episodes in the series). Team America and Team Egypt had previously accused Hikaru of causing that event, but Hikaru cleared it up - He was the one who actually stopped it: By killing his own Medabot who was the first Metabee (Not Ikki's), and the chaos took 10 days to end due to him hesitating and delaying until he could find no other alternative. Hikaru made it very clear that it was a Character Death, that the original Metabee was gone forever since his current Arcbeetle had the original's repaired medal but none of the personality and memories. Victor was about to do the same to Warbandit before Ikki stopped him. Meanwhile Metabee recalled his past life which was so unexpectedly bloody and violent that he suffered a brief Heroic BSoD.

Not only does the Medaforce absorb all energy of the medabot's, but they suffer backlash from it that might destroy them (it boils them if it's not controlled). Not mentioning all the jazz about them becoming Ax-Crazy and mindless. Sumilidon taps into it during the penultimate fight in the Tournament Arc, earning an Oh, Crap! reaction from pretty much everyone. It happens again during the final against Team Kenya, but Warbandit survives it by using Rhinorush as a shield.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_302730a	comment	In Medabot Spirits, Medachange works slightly differently. Most Medabots can transform into their basic alternate form, here called Action Mode (jp. Reckless Mode), which lacks all of their attack abilities it had in the game. These missing attacks are later gained when the Medabots start gaining access to Demolition Mode (jp. Crafty Mode), which is usually a heavily-weaponized alt-mode. Not all Medachange-capables have a Demolition Mode; Arcbeetle-Dash and Tyrelbeetle, for example, perform a Fusion Dance to become Master Beetle instead.

Exaggerated and parodied with Space Medafighter X, whose mask is almost identical to Phantom Renegade's, but in a nice golden hue. Not one member of the cast is able to make this connection until X takes a hit in the face and his mask splits open... to reveal the Renegade's mask directly beneath it. All this silliness actually helps distract from the fact that Henry is in fact legendary Medafighter Hikaru Agata, especially in the Japanese original, where Henry's name is still Hikaru. Ikki Tenryou was a part of the DLC in Medarot Dual (look at the selection marked 5 to see him standing next to Arika).

Getting a tin PET is one thing... getting a medal is another AND getting the armor (or even replacements of some armor parts) is a complete different story. Apparently, according to the manga adaptation of the videogames, finding a female tin PET is rare, and purposely more expensive to get. invoked Subverted in the games, where Medabot parts all perfectly in range of a child's allowance, ranging from four to less than twenty dollars in most cases. Also subverted in the anime with Metabee, whose armor was not only old but discontinued; Henry only offered to sell the parts to Ikki in consideration of the fact that Ikki was too impatient to save his allowance for anything worthwhile. Ikki also tends not to buy new parts, rather using the spare parts he's earned elsewhere and maintaining Metabee's parts himself.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_59907e4f	comment	Police Are Useless: Zigzagged, depending on the continuity. Averted, especially in the manga. The Select Corps are always behind the strange stuff that happen in the city, such as the presence of the Roborobos or Kaitou Retort doing his stuff. While the police is always there protecting the city and the country, the chief almost all the time gets stressed by these happenings... In the anime series, on the other hand, they only show when serious stuff REALLY happens. When the Roborobos (the mooks, especially) or Kaitou Retort (being a well known thief) get serious, of course. In the games, however, it's played straight. The Select Corps aren't particularly shown to be that useless or harmful, but they constantly fail to achieve anything, tend to be a massive inconvenience, and the chief will often take credit for busts and successes he had absolutely nothing to do with.

Naturally our heroes come to the little girl's defense, and she fawns over and hero-worships them for saving her. Out of the goodness of their hearts, our heroes even invite the little girl to watch their training session and give her their autographs. Then when Team Japan is set to Robattle Team Caribbean, the little girl appears behind Captain Gene, and at first Metabee assumes Captain Gene must have captured her. Nope, actually she's Captain Gene's daughter; the pirates were only pretending to attack the little girl earlier, it was all a plan for her to spy on Team Japan so she can report their weaknesses to her father and give him an edge.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_603f1a80	comment	Pragmatic Adaptation: In the games, players name Medabots based on their Tinpets in the first two games, then their Medals in subsequent games. Since the anime doesn't delve into the mix-and-match elements of Medabots in the same way that the games do, Medabots are simply named after their Medaparts set. This is much of the reason why the two multi-version games that relased internationally changed the version names from the mascots' Medals (Kabuto and Kuwagata) to their completed models (Metabee and Rokusho).

This resulted in (A) Metabee having parts he was never shown earning in battle, (B) the "short" recess before the World Tournament, (C) some random appearances of Rokusho that have little to do with his by-then-established role in the plot, (D) misplacing the formal introduction of the Roborobo Gang (which felt especially out of place since they were already well-known villains), and (E) the sudden dissapearance of recently introduced concepts and supporting characters. Nelvana discovered a little belatedly all the details of Henry's significance to the plot, and so tripped over themselves during the final stages of the World Tournament arc, establishing a retcon that Henry is an assumed name and that he named Metabee (in the dub's first episode, Ikki names Metabee himself); this is especially apparent in episode 46.

Major robattles usually require the ante of one Medapart to the winner of the match, but they're only potential tactical options; there's no requirement or insistence that every part of every model be collected. As the dub put it:

Medabots (Video Game) / int_70321789	comment	Video Game Remake: The original Medarot game for Game Boy was released as Medarot: Perfect Edition for the Bandai's WonderSwan in 1999 and Medarot: True Type (or Shingata: Medarot) for the Game Boy Advance in 2004 (with whole different characters and redesigns, and whole different graphics and music compared to its original game, using the engine of Medarot 2 CORE). Medarot 2, originally released on the Game Boy Color, got this treatment too, released as Medarot 2 CORE in 2002/2003 for the GBA. This version was one of the only games to make it to western shores, under the names Medabots: Metabee Version and Medabots: Rokusho Version. It should be noted that the remake is also a Recursive Adaptation, integrating bits and pieces from the anime back into the story.

In the anime their bigger and far more dangerous. They face Beast Emperor 3-1 and it No-Sell their attacks until they fire 3 Medaforces at it. Its legs also contain a a strong whip, where in the games leg parts couldn't be equipped with weapons. Baby Blue meanwhile is a Humongous Mecha and requires another Humongous Mecha to fight it. The Medaforce is also far more powerful in the anime, in the games it might be a stat boost or a single stronger than standard shot, in the anime it's frequently a one hit kill/I win button.

While the recurring four members (Seaslug, Gillgirl, Squidguts, Shrimplips) remained largely comedic in their roles, they also remained just as difficult for Ikki to overcome. In fact once it is revealed that Dr. Meta-evil is in charge and had world domination plans, their threat level goes up.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_7efe2c19	comment	Portmanteau: This show has a particularly awkward use of Gratuitous English. The dub ended up correcting a lot of them. The Medarot title from Japan is a portmanteau of Medal Robot. Medabots, used by the Nelvana dub and almost everywhere else, is a better blend of the same two words. Robottle = Robot Battle (changed to Robattle) Medarotch = Medarot Watch (Medawatch) Medarotter = Medarot Fighter (Medafighter) "Metabee" (and other several medabots) has also a bit of this. In Medarot (1), it's the portmanteau nickname of "Metal Beetle", the first model of KBT used in the franchise, but when Medarot 2 is released, Metabee is used as the name of a new model of KBT. In the anime, since there is no original model of KBT (and KWG) used in the first game, Hikaru goes with the name of Metabee's model as "Metal Beetle", and lately named it as "Metabee".

This is where the concept of the Medaforce and Rare Medals was introduced, where Rokusho who had a Rare Medal used the Medaforce to knock out Metabee. A short while later, a revived Metabee was revealed to have a Rare Medal as well when he too was able to tap into the Medaforce. The season ended with the revelation that Metabee became the new target of the Rubber Robo gang.

Dr. Meta-Evil proceeds to recycle his Humongous Medabot plan with the hilariously out-of-place Babyblu (which looks — and sounds — like a giant blue baby), which Dr. Aki counters with a made-to-order Humongous Metabee piloted by Metabee and his friends, with obligatory Power of Friendship chatter. Then Dr. Hushi suddenly appeared at the end of the giant battle, revealing that he is not dead and has somehow created an utopia for medabots in an alien spaceship. Dr. Meta-Evil's cat also talked for the first time, revealing himself to be part of the original Medabot civilization. Last but not least, Brandon, an almost never-seen character whose sole addition to the show was to be the crush-object of two different girls in filler episodes, reappears and turns out to be an alien.

Medabots is a clear example of Follow the Leader, since Medarot (1) (Game Boy) was released a year after PokÃ©mon Red & Green. Unlike most Mon games, however, the franchise instead focuses on collecting parts that you can swap in to create a Mix-and-Match Man out of your original bot; the games also offer romantic sub-plots for the main character, something you don't see in PokÃ©mon (until Gen V & VI games, where it is at least implied). The anime is a clear follower, with Ikki usually avoiding the whole mix-and-match mechanic unless a specific strategy calls for it or when he doesn't have Metabee's parts at hand.

As with all things anime, trying to figure out what non-native words the Japanese are trying to use is often a challenge. Sumilidon, for example, would probably have been better translated as Smilodon. Roborobo? Robo Robo? Rubber Robo? Rubberrobo? Rubberobo? (For what it's worth, The Other Wiki lists it as "Rubberrobo").

Medabots (Video Game) / int_8f7f2c6a	comment	National Stereotypes: About two-thirds of the representative teams in the World Championship are full of these (medabots included!). The anime basically just picked a random theme and ran with it. In Toros y Flamenco style, te Spanish team has Redmatador, a bull-centaur with bullfighter traits, as their medabot model. They lack flamenco, though. The Mexico team consists of the Amigo brothers, three sombrero-wearing hombres who carry guitars and have machine-gun cactus-bots for partners. About the only thing they say aside from "Amigo!" is when greeting people. "Saludo!" If you want, you could interpret that as a Shout-Out to Saludos Amigos. The French are thieving Dirty Cowards, each with a Maurice Chevalier Accent. They kidnap their opponents in every match so that they win by default, and when they do try and fight, they get their butts handed to them. The Caribbean Team consists of A Pirate 400 Years Too Late and his scurvy crew and his daughter, who spies on the enemy team for him. The American team is a less blatant example, considering it has Joe Swihan on it, but it does consist of a a white woman, a black man, and a native American man... and their three Braids, Beads and Buckskins medabots. Team Sweden is a trio of Sexy Scandinavian Teen Idols. Subverted when they turn out to be male Gonks from the Rubberrobo gang. Team Iceland gets a pass for being the most developed of the teamsnote Team Kenya doesn't count, as Team Kenya basically amounts to Victor plus Two Flunkies, but consists of a trio of Nice Guys who like fishing, and their leader, Brenton, is introduced when he strikes a hot spring. Incidentally, Erika gets a massive Precocious Crush on him, Played for Drama rather than laughs.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_a1d3ebd7	comment	Furry Reminder: Downplayed. The medals almost all correlate to some animal or another and every now and again will feature some indication of it in Medabot behavior. The anime loves playing with the fact the Metabee's a rhinoceros beetle (kabutomushi). Henry tricks him at one point by setting a trap with the watermelon as bait and Metabee can't help but crawl eagerly towards it on all fours. When especially angry or upset, Metabee will also make a squeaking "Gigi! Gigigigigigi!!" noise. In the past, he also had a favorite tree. In one episode of the anime, Spike (of the Screws) is having problems winning with his Medabot, Cyandog. This turns out to be because Cyandog's body is built to be a Long-Range Fighter, but Cyandog's medal is actually a Monkey-type, which is suited to grappling battlesnote According to the dub, at least; in the games, MNK medals are about disrupting enemies (Spike chooses to keep this the way it is). Monkey-Dog enmity is a longstanding item in Japanese Animal Jingoism.

The Medaforce is So Last Season, and all the significant Medabots are upgraded to or replaced with new models that can Medachange into "Action Mode", a weaponized vehicle form. Also, while the Rubber-Robo gang aspired to use Medabots to Take Over the World, X-treme Tech aspires to create Kilobots, soulless weapons that are meant to replace Medabots entirely. The Select Corps are also a no-show, despite the Kilobots being a prominent threat (which had the consequence of retconning Juzuo Tenryou's status so that he is never part of the group).

The arms can use their respective power or attacks endlessly (e.g. Metabee's revolver and submachinegun), but each Medabot's head has only a limited number of uses for its specific ability. This is usually faithfully followed in the anime (or, at least, certainly never contradicted, since the Medabots use their Head-part powers only sparingly), but it's Subverted in Spirits, where Medabots spontaneously developed the ability to run out of ammo. The Kilobots and their owners "cheat" by reloading ammunition in the middle of a fight.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_b6ae5569	comment	Transforming Mecha: While some early Medabots (like Landrotor) could transform into cars or jets, the main example of this is in Medachange. Medachange was introduced in Medarot 3 and allowed a handful of Medabots (the newest generation of mainstay Medabots, natch) to transform into alternate modes, replacing their ability to charge the Medaforce. Some Medabots have the "Shift Transform" ability, which isn't as powerful, but has no other drawbacks, while others have the "Power Transform", which costs Medaforce. In Medabot Spirits, Medachange works slightly differently. Most Medabots can transform into their basic alternate form, here called Action Mode (jp. Reckless Mode), which lacks all of their attack abilities it had in the game. These missing attacks are later gained when the Medabots start gaining access to Demolition Mode (jp. Crafty Mode), which is usually a heavily-weaponized alt-mode. Not all Medachange-capables have a Demolition Mode; Arcbeetle-Dash and Tyrelbeetle, for example, perform a Fusion Dance to become Master Beetle instead.

Coach Moutain was once looking for Groundskeeper Billy. He also at one point manages to obtain "A Fistful of Dollars". Robo-Emperor was clearly inspired by EVA: 01. During an episode where he was "training" with Dr. Aki (read: dusting his house), Ikki mentions seeing a movie where a kid learns karate from a wise old mentor by doing chores for him, and thinks Dr. Aki is doing the same thing. From episode 27, medafighter Dragon Ryuuchirou is obviously not an expy of Bruce Lee.

He also designed the humans in the many of the pre-DS games and their respective manga adaptations (he returned to robot design for Medarot 7). Tokuyuki Matsutake, on the other hand, was the primary designer for the anime and related media, and his designs were used for the graphics in Medarot 3 and Medarot 4, too. Medarot 7 introduced a new artist for the humans. Check out art for Ikki, Arika, and the Rubberrobo Gangnote Adjusted for a few years of growth, of course from the game, for example. And then compare it to the art of the same from Medarot DS (yikes!). Medarot Navi's primary artist used much more detailed designs for the robots; notably, he was also the main artist for the Medarotter Rintarou side story manga.

(Still I Love You!) by Arika's seiyuu Eri Sendai herself, is about Arika's feelings for Ikki. On the other hand, "Toshi Shita no Boku", the Japanese ending for Medabot Spirits, is about Ikki's crush on Nae (which is not canon to the games, admittedly). Despite the fact that Karin is technically a member of Ikki's love triangle, she comes with her own competing suitor, Kouji. In the games, Kouji is overprotective of Karin due to her heart's condition. In the latter half of the original anime, while Kouji struggles with the fact that he and Sumilodon Can't Catch Up, Karin goes above and beyond in her efforts to help him out or cheer him upnote Though she runs smack into Unwanted Assistance in her overenthusiasm once or twice. In the video games, there are side-quests that will produce a Relationship Upgrade for Ikki with either Arika or Karin.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_dcd423d2	comment	Affectionate Nickname: Some characters who have strong friendships with their Medabots, will give them a name, aside from just referring to them as their official serial type/number; the greatest example from the anime is Arika, who calls her SLR-1 Sailor-Multi, "Brass". In the games' universe Ikki himself is another great example; Without Medals, Medabot bodies literally are just parts, as the medals themselves house the mind & soul of a Medabot. Ikki NEVER uses any other medals besides his original KBT-type Rare Medal, which was first used in the outdated KBT-1 Metabee, and through said body he and the soul inside of the medal became the best of friends, with the latter unofficial adopting the name of its first body. As a result, to Ikki, KBT-50 Saikichis, KBT-4 Arc-Beetle, and KWG-10 Sanjuro, are all "Metabee". Kirara is another example carried on in the videogames, since her Sailor-Mate is called "Alumi".

Medabots (Video Game) / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: Most Medabots in the same "family" (KBT-types, for example) clearly share similar designs. This is justified on the grounds that they're all in the same production line. Sumilidon and Warbandit stand out as Expies of Rokusho and Metabee respectively, reinterpreted as Panthera Awesome. Sumilidon uses a blade attack and a hammer attack, but trades Rokusho's scouting ability for an anti-gunner trapping ability; Warbandit has both a rifle and a chain gun like Metabee, but instead of an extra attack like Metabee's missiles, he has the ability to boost his movement speed. Rintarou's Kentaroth is another model in the KBT line close to Metabee's design, and caused some confusion when Rintarou got into fights with everyone around town. Ikki is incensed to learn that people think he's been brutalizing everybody's Medabots, especially since Kentaroth is covered into designs that Metabee doesn't share. Roks in Spirits looks enough like Rokusho (who had been Put on a Bus) to invite confusion; that he has the same Voice Actor and Leitmotif doesn't help. It gets even worse later on, when several Kilobots end up being pretty blatant redesigns of season 1 and 2 'bots Sumilidon, Warbandit, Arcbeetle and others. Justified as in the games, they're all later models of these medabots. In the games, this is a Must-Rule, since it is an RPG, and it's somehwat in the same veins as the PokÃ©mon games. Especially in the trio of troublemakers. Kikuhime, Iwanoi and Kageyama from Medarot 2 and the anime) are these to Iseki, Yanma and Kubota from the original Medarot game (this also includes their respective medabots!). This is also repeating in Medarot DS, with the Willows and even Azuma takes the role of ther leader later in that game!.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_e9e35e8f	comment	In the games, they're called "The Three Laws of Medabots." A boy at Rosewood Private School indicates that Medabots are not allowed to harm humans on purpose. He wonders if that makes it okay if it happens on accident.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_ecd42310	type	Goldfish Poop Gang
Medabots (Video Game) / int_ecd42310	comment	Goldfish Poop Gang: For the anime: The Screws gang was introduced as if they would become Ikki's recurring antagonists, but quickly devolved into the butt of jokes and (mostly) a punching bag for other Medafighters after the 2nd episode. As a bonus, Samantha was regularly portrayed as a sycophant. Interesting, inverted with the Rubberrobo gang. They are practically the Medabots' more threatening version of Team Rocket, and over time it is shown that they had higher goals (Their true leader Dr. Meta-evil, at least) of world domination and their threat level actually went up as the series goes by.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_efd11fe3	comment	In Spirits, Metabee ends up being upgraded from his original KBT-1 body (Metabee) to a KBT-5 body (Saikachis, though still called "Metabee"). This can get confusing, since Spirits also features Roks (KWG-5), as an Expy of the original anime's Rokusho (KWG-1) (with the same voice actor, no less).

This includes; coming out of the ocean, flying down from a helicopter/airplane, crawling up a burning rooftop, and already appearing to begin with. Also, the chicken-seller, whose sales pitch is inevitably mistaken for Yoda-esque wisdom. He upgrades to rabbits for the final arc of the first season.

When the students called their medabots to defend it, an all-on-all battle ensued until Rokusho interrupted it and suggested each side selected a champion to have less wounded than an all-on-all fight would have.

Medabots (Video Game) / int_f32d85ab	comment	20 Minutes into the Future: The videogames (Medarot to Medarot 7) and the manga develop between 2010-2033. Though it is an Alternate Continuity from the original source of the franchise, the anime series is debatably happening around the 2020s in the original version (the timeline of Medarot 2 through 4, where the anime is sort-of based on, happens in that decade) but changed to the 22nd century in the English dub.

A few occasions, he also appears in a fitting guise or place. It's lampshaded in the Tournament Arc when the WMF announcer cites this as what Mr. Referee is known for. No matter how awesome his heists are, Phantom Renegade is almost incapable of pulling one off without goofing something up; he'll get distracted and do things like drop his loot or bash his head on something hard. He's like a gymnast who can't stick the landing.

In the anime, the main cast are all arranged in individual Medafighter-Medabot pairs that highlight a specific relationship between them; in the games, the Medabots have no established personality at all and are usually arranged into teams of "Leader Medabot and two supporting Medabots". (The anime usually chooses the leader Medabot to be the anime partner).
