History VideoGame / MedabotsMetabeeAndRokusho

* NotTheIntendedUse: In case you play the Metabee version and are doing a single Medabot run. These tactis are handy to use with the Kabuto Medal's Medaforce actions. Medaparts with Optic attacks can be used to power-up Ultra Shot and Medaparts with high armor can power-up its Damage Ball.

* UselessUsefulSpell: Zig-zagged. When you use the '''Useless''' status effect (aptronym, ho) in most cases it hardly makes a difference against enemy teams since they tend to have the parts with similar funcion. But when used against ''you'' it tends to be very annoying since there's always a chance it will block you from using a specific part from your mixed Medabot that might be crucial to your strategy.

* EenieMeenieMinyMoai: The aptly named Moai Medabot.

* UselessUsefulSpell: Zig-zagged. When you use the '''Useless''' stauts effect (aptronym, ho) in most cases it hardly makes a difference in most enemy teams since they tend to have the parts with similar funcion. But when used against ''you'' it tends to be very annoying since there's always a chance it will block you from using a specific part from your mixed Medabot that might be crucial to your strategy.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Erika and Karin.

** '''No Defense:''' The affected Medabot will not be able to protect their parts taking full damage and being more easily afflicted by other effects.

** Some of the Medabots look silly or cute but can actually be dangerous. Special mention goes for Rappy who looks like a stuffed animal carrying pink balloons but has ''Sacrifice'' parts that inflicts severe damage at cost of breaking his own arms.

* 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. This is taken even further by the male Medabots with the ''Transformation'' action since they can change into anything, which contrasts the Elemental Series, who at least transformed into a certain type of Medapart.

* PeninsulaOfPowerLeveling: The very first area can be a good place to level up any non-damaging Medal Skill since all opponents use only one Medabot and it's very easy to set a team to stall the fight while you spam non-damage actions.

* HelloInsertNameHere: Medals can be given names to customize your Medabots. They can be changed later for a paltry cost.

* BrownNote: Draken's shtick, Force Bind, is to perform a small song that prevents any and everyone in the battlefield from using Medaforce blocking it until she, or someone with he same parts, perform it again.

** Did you forget to pick up the hidden Dragon/Ninja Medal and the two Rusted Parts items in the final dungeon before initiating Partsun Rally? Well, too bad for you.

* AbandonedWarehouse: Early in the game Ikki visit one searching for a miscreant [[ItMakesSenseInContext using Medabots to pinch cute girls]]. You can find a Snake or Tortoise medal, for Rokusho and Metabee versions respectively, in one of the boxes.

** [[spoiler:The Phantom Renegade is struck by this. While he has a team of three Metabees/Rokushos, and they can tear your apart if you're careless, this also means he's also almost pitifully predictable and by the time he's available to fight in Medalink you'll have more than enough tools and knowledge to form a strategy that can easily hard counter his team.]]

* PaperTiger: The Old Man in Mt. Odoro has two Floros which are frighteningly fast and powerful for that point of the game... Until you realize each of them have only 2 charges of attack from their heads, but no attacks with their arm parts. The Old Man will rarely win any fight, as long as you don't attack with Berserk, since they'll most likely spread their attacks between your team (each with 4 parts) and most likely won't target their heads.

** The Metabee Version has the Medals with shooting attacks exclusive while the Rokusho Version has Medals with grappling attacks are exclusive which forces the player to change playstyle between versions in case they want to have compatible parts and medals.

** 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. Alternatively, you can equip your Medabots with Haniwa's parts to make them immune to his only form of attack.

* MinmaxersDelight: Scout (Accuracy + Attack Up) and [=BoostChrg=] (Speed Up) are actions that can easily be integrated into almost any team you can think of due to their usefulness and utility that never diminishes across the entire game.

* HardLevelsEasyBosses: Certain areas can have very difficult/annoying random encounters but the bosses in it can be pushovers compared to them.
