History VideoGame / MedabotsMetabeeAndRokusho

* FetusTerrible: Babbyblu's designed to look this complete with an umbilical cord thing. It's one of the creepier looking Medabots.

** Force Bind will block the use of all Medaforces.

* CharacterCustomization: Every of the 9 possible Medabots you can keep can be customized to suit your needs.

* TournamentArc: Twice in the first visit to Medabot Island. One has the Screws, Erika and Karin and the second has characters that didn't make it into the anime with the exception of Joe Suihan showing up.

* TakeYourTime: Played straight. Koji harassing people in Riverview School? He can wait. Tournament happening in Medabot Island? No need to hurry. Rosewood keeping everyone at Rosewood Private School hostage? No rush. [[spoiler:Dr. Armond/Meta-Evil laying siege on Medaropolis? You can take your sweet time before going to get the Wings of Wing and confront him.]]

* SailorFuku: Sailor-Multi and Sailormate's are designed to invoke this look.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: In the post-game, Ikki is unable to use the Silver Locket in case there is a mandatory boss fight in the area.

* DualWielding: Most "purebreed" Medabots are essentially doing this by design, but the ones that have visible weapons are more obvious. Although, barring some exceptions, Left Arm parts are usually for heavy, riskier, attacks and Right Arm parts are for more precise, safer, attacks.

* ShapedLikeItself: Samurai is, well, a samurai Medabot.

* CounterAttack: Some parts have can give the ability to dish counterattacks.

* VerbalTic: The Rubberobo Gang's traditional [="RoboRobo RoboRobo"=]. Even Ikki uses this when disguising as a member to fool some of the mooks.

** Traps and Teamwork can be nullified with Digmole's arm parts. Transformation actions also ignore Traps completely.

* AlwaysAccurateAttack: Missiles and Napalm attacks are unavoidable.

** On the second visit to Medabot Island, Ikki is forced to battle against wave after wave of [[spoiler:Select Corps.]] troops. Only able to leave after the Phantom Renegade's BigDamnHeroes moment.

** A few words of advice: incomplatble doesn't mean useless. Those parts can give your Medabot more coverage options.

** Traps and Teamwork can be nullified with Digmole's arm parts.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Koji often works with Ikki to defeat the Rubberobo Gang, he can easily keep up with even the likes of [[spoiler:Dr. Meta-Evil should you choose help stabilize Fiyun instead of chasing after him]].

** On the second visit to Medabot Island, Ikki is forced to battle against wave after wave of [[spoiler:Select Corps.]] troops. Only able to continue after the Phantom Renegade's BigDamnHeroes moment.
** In the [[spoiler:second hidden Rubberobo Island]] Ikki is forced by Shrimplimps to fight mook after mook in order to wear him down. Eventually Koji saves him by taking care of the mooks sending out the Medabots one by one before Ikki fights against Shrimplimps.

* NotCompletelyUseless: A few words of advice: incomplatble doesn't mean useless.

* LuckBasedMission: [[RandomDrop Getting any parts is a matter of chance]]. Luck and patience will be needed if you want a specific part from a random Medafighter, add plenty of resets to the formula if you want a specific part from a boss.

* NecessaryDrawback: Head Medaparts have a lower charge time than arms, but in exchange have limited usage.

* PurposelyOverpowered: The medaparts you find during Partsun Rally are made to be pretty powerful and/or versatile. The same goes for [[spoiler:Babbyblu's parts.]]

* BossInMookClothing: The Ant Medabot in Medaropolis Sewers. It has the Teamwork attack-- one will set a powerful attack and the other will fire it nuking one of your Medabots for a HUGE amount of damage while they have a third Medabot that will protect them from harm. It doesn't help that they're fought in the Saibar/Cyber terrain which mitigates the normally slow Teamwork actions. Without a strategy to disrupt their formation or to protect yourself they can easily be one of the toughest random encounters in the game.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: AI opponents can have multiples of the same Medal unlike Ikki, who can only have one of each.

* ConfusionFu:
** The ''Transformation'' action is purely this. You have no control on what part the Medabot will turn into; it might give you a terrible one, or exactly what you needed right now. All of this with a rather low Charge/Radiation (attack speed/cooldown) cost and no penalty for Berserk/Aim Shot actions.

* CutscenePowerToTheMax: Early on Ikki's Metabee/Rokusho uses the Medaforce in a cutscene way before they learn it and said Medaforce wreck the Screws Medabots, all three of them, in one shot.

* DiscOneNuke: Koji's Leading Medabot Sumilidon/Warbandit holds a very useful Head part for early game:
** Metabee version has access to Sumilidon's head part, Hunter, that lays a trap against Shooting attacks. While not on gamebreaking levels this can give you an early sharp edge in many upcoming battles. In Rokusho version you have to wait until you can visit Medaropolis to gain access to a part that does the same and it's still locked to Female Tinpets only.
** Rokusho version has [=TensionUp=], Warbandit's head part, that grants the ever useful [=BoostChrg=] which speed ups the Medabot and goes well with the Rabbit Medal that you can choose from Miss Nae's collection.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Upon learning Ikki finally has a Medabot and is able to robattle Erika's first reaction is to challenge him wanting to be "his first". Real subtle, especially considering how clingy she can be when Karin is around.

* GottaCatchThemAll: There are 120 Medabots, each with four parts: Head, Left and Right Arm and Legs, totaling 480 medaparts to collect. Additionally there are 30 Medals. Of course, some of them are exclusive to one or the other version.

* MookInBossClothing: The Select Three appear as a unique enemy or boss fight compared to the Select Corps. troops, but their team is still exactly the same as normal them.

* HardWorkHardlyWorks: For Ikki at first. After getting his first Medabot for less than an hour he can beat other people like Erika, the Screws and Koji, all who are from decent to experienced Medafighters.
** Gameplay wise this is inverted. You have to train and use your actions dilligently in order to build them up to keep them effective.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Koji often works with Ikki to defeat the Rubberobo Gang, he can easily keep up with even the likes of [[spoiler:Dr. Meta-Evil should you choose help stabilize Fiyun instead of chasing after him.]]

* MightyGlacier:
** Optic attacks are also powerful, but are ''very'' slow.
* MirrorBoss: Dr. Armond will use weaker, but better armored, variants of Metabee and Rokusho (Bayonet and Zorin) to fight you. [[spoiler:He also uses the Robo Emperor once he initiates his plan aboard the Floating Fortress.]]

** Ikki is always around when the Rubberobo Gang is defeated with the final piece of evidence being. This eventually leads to Erika realizing Ikki's the one doing it, not Koji, much less the Select Corps. and she gets mad at Ikki for never telling her. On a darker take on this [[spoiler:[[GloryHound Captain Awamori]] ''also'' notices this and plans to use Ikki to get credit for defeating Dr. Meta-Evil in Medabot Island without doing anything.]]

** Forgetting to either adjust your team against a boss or changin them back to normal in order to fight against random encounters.

* AdaptationalWimp: Characters from ''Medabots Spirits'' who are all world-class medafighters are fought in the second tournament of Medabot Island and they're all much less formidable than their anime counterparts.

* ConfusionFu: The ''Transformation'' action is purely this. You have no control on what part the Medabot will turn into; it might give you a terrible one, or exactly what you needed right now. All of this with a rather low Charge/Radiation (attack speed/cooldown) cost and no penalty for Berserk/Aim Shot actions.

* DemotedToExtra: Ironically enough Ikki's Metabee/Rokusho don't have any lines or even a personality here.
** [[CombatReferee Mr. Referee]] shows up only in Medabot Island Tournaments.

** Hachiro is a pest with his two Armorparadeens protecting the rather fragile Stingray. But Medaropolis' southwest part conveniently has the "Woman" random encounter that has a Botafly, a Medabot with a Trap that affects Shooting Medabots. This can be used to make Hachiro's Stingray kamikaze himself without needing to attack even once.

** The Cherub Hand is hidden inside the ''wall'' instead of the pool, where the scientist jumped into.

* MyDefenseNeedNotProtectMeForever: Tank Medabots usually serve this purpose. They can take quite a few more extra hits stalling the enemies while your team either launches their best attacks, even the normally risky Berserk, without worries, or debilitate them with status ailments, or set up your buffs to steamroll over them.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Hachiro is hit by this at the end of the "Clever Rubberobo" mystery. He clearly regrets helping the Rubberobos invade Rosewood Academy and freaks out when Ikki goes talk to him about it.]]

* PoliceAreUseless: To a ridiculous extent, the Select Corps. never actually fight any of the Rubberobos and most of its members are just as incompetent/dumb as their opposing groups. In fact the Select Corps. only arrest the Rubberobos ''after'' Ikki defeats them as lampshaded by him and other characters. This comes from the fact that their chief is a lazy GlorySeeker who only cares about looking good in front of the press. [[spoiler:He later loses his position when his Vice Chief outs him as the fraud he truly is]]. The only case of the Select Corps. doing their job is in Medabot Island when Ryo/Tequonic (depending on your game's version) starts up a fight unprovoked and get arrested for it... Even though the place where they fight you [[GameplayAndStorySegregation is a where you face]] RandomEncounters.

** Ikki is always around when the Rubberobo Gang is defeated. This eventually leads to Erika realizing Ikki's the one doing it, much less the Select Corps. and she gets mad at Ikki for never telling her. On a darker take on this [[spoiler:[[GloryHound Captain Awamori]] ''also'' notices this and plans to use Ikki to get credit for defeating Dr. Meta-Evil in Medabot Island without doing anything.]]

* TournamentArc: Twice in the first visit to Medabot Island. One has the Screws, Erika and Karin and the second has characters from ''Medabots Spirits'' showing up.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Ikki is always around when the Rubberobo Gang is defeated. This eventually leads to Erika realizing Ikki's the one doing it, not Koji, much less the Select Corps. and she gets mad at Ikki for never telling her. On a darker take on this [[spoiler:[[GloryHound Captain Awamori]] ''also'' notices this and plans to use Ikki to get credit for defeating Dr. Meta-Evil in Medabot Island without doing anything.]]

* UnintentionallyUnwinnable: Subverted, the game '''doesn't have''' any AntiFrustrationFeatures that stops you from initiating a battle with Medabots incapable of direct damage. However the battle will still end due to the time limit.
* UniqueProtagonistAsset: [[spoiler:Until the FinalBoss]] Ikki is the only Robattler with either a Kabuto or Kuwagata medal with characters that have Medabots compatible with those Medals instead using ? or Cat Medals instead.

* AdaptationalWimp: Characters from ''Medabots Spirits'' who are all world-class medafighters are fought in the second tournament of Medabot Island and they're all much less formidable than they were compared to their anime counterparts.
