Wow I didn't know alot of this mad informative thanks, also yeah I know he got metabee for the price of dinner I was just being hyperbolic about the price cuz I thought it was funny
@@aqua4426 I ended up importing it! I have really bad Japanese skills, but I was able to brute-force my way through the first game with the amount I had and looking words up. Though, there's a fan-translation for it recently released. The second game was re-released twice (PS1 and GBA) and both have English translations, so realistically, you'd be buying it for Medarot 3 and beyond. I do recommend grabbing it, either the Switch or the 3DS releases. Even if it's just to have it.
On my trip to japan I entered a random building in akihabara and found "the official medarot store", only place I actually saw anything medabots related that wasn't old GB cartridges. They even had model kits for some of the robots, good stuff!
@@GoliathZ13 this was likely the official Kotobukiya store! It should have sections for all their licensed work and the very top floor usually has a cool event display for different games or anime
I also remember an episode with a crazy gym teacher - just a brutal guy. "I WANNA SEE YOU WATER THE GRASS! WITH YOUR SWEAT!" Then they find out he has a soft spot, he's been in these underground medabot fights trying to win money for a playground for the really young schoolchildren. Well, with a bit of help from the mc, he wins his money, the playground gets built, and the mc gets his reward at the end... "You got a whole new playground to water! WITH YOUR SWEAT!"
Son of a bitch you had to bring up a memory that I've long since locked away God medabots was such a cool time period. And I agree Metabee was the goat.
Something to note the Medabots name copyright lasped in the EU and some NFT cash grab has been holding the name hostage and there was a legal battle going on over it than just finished last year they just won the battle and name back. So at least the last 6 years they legally couldn't use the Medabots name in west. edit: Something else to know they do colaps with Digimon they even made an Omnimon Medabot and an Onmimon style Medabot Digimon called Omega Knight
Never played the games or bought any toys, but it was on at the same time as other stuff I liked, so it kind of slipped into my viewing habits - and there were so many funny moments I still remember to this day!
Zoids oh god ZOIDS. Introduced during New Century Zero Right during The Elephander backdraft fight and Strike lazer claw being called out.... Dont get me on Zoids. I need MORE and the new stuff just isnt as satisfying especially since i found a boot legger that Unlocalized the OST of Chaotic century shoved it on a blueray with the dub intact 99% of the time and did the same with NC0 but with an option of dual audio but no subs... Genesis was INSANE with how dark it got near the end.
There is NO way i stumble upon this video after THINKING, not even saying aloud for ANY actively listening ai nonsense to know I was remotely thinking about Medabots yet alone this franchise living rent-free in my head for several DAYS now! Had all the dvds, toys, battle arenas and all back as a kid!
I just found the channel via this video. And I adored Medabots back in the day, and would love to see the series make a return, especially as an anime. I think Medabots so much fun as an MMORPG, it would be to experience the world in a similar way to the anime, and it would help bring more fans into the franchise while giving the older fans a splash of nostalgia.
A crossover with BATTLENETWORK? I’m sorry that’s arguably the most insane thing I’ve ever heard and it’s got me fiendin. MMBN was my favorite series as a kid, hot damn.
@Remyael Zoids should be top. Beyblade is still wildly popular even if it's changed and still ongoing. Gundam hasn't ended either, we just haven't gotten a new series in US for several years. But Zoids had a true downfall. We had two amazing, interconnected shows as well as Fuzors which had a short life on American TV. While it came back thanks to Netflix, it isn't the same as it used to be. Although, Wild does give you more information on zoid life cycles than most of the Localized anime before it. As for Digimon, while we haven't gotten a localized anime on TV since Xros Wars, we do still have them available thanks to Funimation and the card game brought back its popularity to a point. And the only real disappointment in Digimon was Xros Wars to me. It started fun, but after a few episodes I wasn't invested in any of the characters whereas the other Digimon series were all just so much more investing. Plus, supposedly there's a Digimon Adventure 3 or some form of extra spin-off still coming while being in Digimon news for several years
Bro, you didnt talk about how the referee would show up to every ro-battle in some ridiculous way! Sometimes he'd jump out of a nearby trash can, or he'd surf out from the water when they're battling on the beach. I have a vague memory of the ref skydiving in and landing like a damned superhero just to officiate the battle.
I liked the show. They could not grasp the kinda game they shouldve made for this. Fully customizable robots needs an open game in my opinion or somethings
@Remyael I never even played the card game. I just got hooked on the show watching it on RUclips, but I do have some cards. It was weird that Bushiroad sold a 10-year anniversary set for a franchise they canceled.
1:44 - I realize I'm nitpicking here, but Gundam are actually indirectly inspired by beetles; the signature V-fins in particular are based off of samurai helmets, and samurai armor- especially helmets- are largely inspired by beetles; in fact, the word "kabuto" in Japanese can mean either "rhinoceros beetle" (as it does for Metabee) or "helmet". That being said, definitely miss the series, I enjoyed it more than Pokemon, though I still preferred Digimon over Medabots.
Hey don't even worry about it I'm new to this so I'm down for any new knowledge, but that said it makes sense Japan loves to take design elements form nature and Japanese mythology
Suit, dude, great video. Definitely following for more. Also, it really surprised me how little you spoke about Megaman, I really saw many similarities between the shows, specially with how Megaman himself had a lot of personality just like Metabee.
Zatch Bell is amazing and the manga is one of my favorite mangas of all time, I hope you've seen the new zatch Bell manga with the time skip it's so good so far
@@ccggenius if you don't know the author of zatch bell after the series ended asked for his artwork back. Only to receive coffee stained art, ripped and missing. He sued and won. Now he owns 100% of zatchbell. But it also means they removked zatch for all the websites, pulled all the toys video games etc.
I had a ton of the models. They had metal skeletons, and all the pieces just snapped on. And yes there were some special editions. I had a teal clear blue Rokusho, but mostly just was all about the main guys. They also shipped with a sticker pack too. So you could add certain stickers or all of them to make that version “your own” I knew a girl who’d put flower stickers on hers. And she’d name them different names. Which was like having your own metabot! Very immersable series/toy line up.
That medabots game for the GBA was so fun but that learning curve was STEEP, I'll never forget getting one shotted in my FIRST match of the game. I dunno why I kept playing but I'm glad I did.
I love metabots so much I need them to release those Japan games in America. No ikki dis he was amazing. Good video man I really enjoyed it I hope we get the mobile game.
Rubberobo...sounded like you said roborubber... Anyway, I used to love this show so damn much. I collected the action figures and the tcg and had the game cube game and one of the gba game. It really was slept on Also I remember Medabots Spirits played on Fox Family Channel...yeah I'm old I remember Fox Family. It didn't have a set air time though. It would play some weeks and not play on others and even then it never aired in the same time slot so I'm sure that's part of what made people not be able to keep up with it
Also the only reason the WonderSwan console is remembered, the means of being the first game existing. Henry was the hero you played as, and why after growing up, he still plays hero as the Phantom Renegade and Masked Medafighter.
There one of those megaman legacy for medabots on the switch in Japan. Would of been nice if the west got it. The Rpg was my favorite. Never played the one on GameCube. I wish zoids came back with another rpg like the ones on the gameboy advance.
medabots has a usa mobile game and the franchise has crossovers with other franchises still. they have done crossovers with monster hunter, digimon, megaman, zoids, transformers, fullmetal panic, evangalion, beast wars, ...etc. it's been around after the series ended and honestly with current robotics tech in toys, we could do medabots properly. zoids is still popular as a kit-bash builder like gundam. heck, part of why medabots still exists, is because there are still kit-bash model kits being made. all of this medabot crossovers are model kits you can purchase.
So I don't know if anyone else remembers this but in one episode one of the bad guys reveals that when he was a child the country he lived in was at war and the opposition forces won the war by using the original Metabots. They were originally combat androids. My guess is that when the war was over all demand for them stopped, so the company pivoted to branding them as children's toys. No one remembers because the war was like 50 years ago and presumably the company spent a lot of money to downplay their original use.
The Anime as a kid was one of my favourites, it just had charm with Robot partners unlike Digimon and Pokemon has "monster creatures". I heard the Medabot name got stolen in the West which is why the Franchise ended here, but is still growing strong in Japan.
God i miss this so much, i had so many of the toys i really wanted more but it disapried, i still loved the ep were you find out the dog medabot had a monkey mental and could't use it's gun very well
Noticed a mistake pointing all games released on gba. Technically is true to some extent, but i must clarify a lot of titles were released for Game Boy, GameCube or NDS, not only GBA. Regardless, i'm just happy to hear the take of a fellow medabots fan on the series.
we got done dirty we got that sweet sweet tast of medabots just to get it taken away and be put behind a giant language barrier thank fully there is a massive community effort to translate it all the 3rd game got a full fan translation a couple of months ago
I know why there seems to only be one referee. One bot is probably more expensive than that man's salary for 10 years. There's probably some internal number the company decided upon, we'll say 7. For every 7 bots they sell, they train up a referee, and now his job for life is promoting and officiating mech duels.
For me Metabot was the king of catch em all style animes. But whenever I bet on a series it fails or if I am sure it is going to flop it is loved "eva" and I have no idea why! Last I checked on Metabots was the amazing Megaman X crossovers. Before that it was a game where....the more damage you do the more clothes the pretty girls meta fighters got. But yeah I adore Metabots, and watched it over pokemon and digimon but I always forgot it wasn't just on YTV. Season 3 was shown in Canada but at a weird time slot impossible to watch. They changed actors for a few characters and wasn't as well done. Oh Model Kits are still released in Japan to this date.
I loved Medabots. I had the games and watched the show. I had a dream of remaking this show but I don’t have the money to invest yet. One of the few revival projects i feel has potential along with Zoids
As a huge medarot fan -- thanks for covering the series!
Some notes:
>Medabots are actually super cheap in lore, the series follows the second game very loosely, with Metabee costing a families convenience store dinner (~$10)
>The animation is similar to Studio Trigger because a lot of Triggers animators guested or worked at Bee-Train before Trigger existed
>Medabots died in the west because a Spanish grifter stole the rights to the franchise, rather than the franchise dying off. They trademarked the name and used it to make an NFT game that failed. Imagineer recently won their court case against them, so we may get more releases, but I'm not certain.
Wow I didn't know alot of this mad informative thanks, also yeah I know he got metabee for the price of dinner I was just being hyperbolic about the price cuz I thought it was funny
hoping we get the medarot classic collection for switch like japan did
@@aqua4426 I ended up importing it! I have really bad Japanese skills, but I was able to brute-force my way through the first game with the amount I had and looking words up. Though, there's a fan-translation for it recently released. The second game was re-released twice (PS1 and GBA) and both have English translations, so realistically, you'd be buying it for Medarot 3 and beyond.
I do recommend grabbing it, either the Switch or the 3DS releases. Even if it's just to have it.
Well that confirmed it: NFTs are evil and a symptom of the brainrot this generation of humans have.
i was under the impression that medabots was dead because there are 2 different companies called natsume, and the rights to medabots are messy.
Hindsight metabots feels a little like what Bionicles was to Legos
That would be a crazy crossover to see.
Bionicle was made by Lego though...
@ …..yeah…
On my trip to japan I entered a random building in akihabara and found "the official medarot store", only place I actually saw anything medabots related that wasn't old GB cartridges. They even had model kits for some of the robots, good stuff!
That sounds mad cool
Yeah they used to have like the tin pet then magnetic parts on top, 7 year old f**king wanted one
@@GoliathZ13 this was likely the official Kotobukiya store! It should have sections for all their licensed work and the very top floor usually has a cool event display for different games or anime
I also remember an episode with a crazy gym teacher - just a brutal guy. "I WANNA SEE YOU WATER THE GRASS! WITH YOUR SWEAT!"

"You got a whole new playground to water! WITH YOUR SWEAT!"
This show was so slept on in regards to its humor
Coach Mountain!
Son of a bitch you had to bring up a memory that I've long since locked away God medabots was such a cool time period. And I agree Metabee was the goat.
Medabots and Digimon were my favorite childhood animes and are what got me into IT(indirectly) as an adult.
That's actually hella cool
Something to note the Medabots name copyright lasped in the EU and some NFT cash grab has been holding the name hostage and there was a legal battle going on over it than just finished last year they just won the battle and name back. So at least the last 6 years they legally couldn't use the Medabots name in west.
edit:
Something else to know they do colaps with Digimon they even made an Omnimon Medabot and an Onmimon style Medabot Digimon called Omega Knight
Yeah I was told that in a comment, I had no idea that happened but if I needed another reason to not like nfts this was it
Not localizing this franchise's games is unforgivable
The streets need more medabot games
Just binged this on Tubi last month. I remember liking it as a kid. I loved it as an adult. The writing is laugh out loud funny.
The writing holds up so well
THANK YOU
I'm just shocked that Medarot Girls Mission didn't get a wide release. Gotta get that Senran Kagura money.
Man if culture I see
It didn’t get the Toonami stimulus package. Fox was dying at this time if it woulda been on Toonami it woulda did numbers
Never played the games or bought any toys, but it was on at the same time as other stuff I liked, so it kind of slipped into my viewing habits - and there were so many funny moments I still remember to this day!
Really miss Metabots, hard to get kits for them anymore without spending an actual arm leg and liver.
Yeah I need bandai or whoever owns the rights to these things just make a couple more for like a 30th anniversary or something
kotobukiya just re released metabee and rokusho but the preorders sold out super quick :(
Rememember the Price of an old Medabot like metabee was ONE RICE A RONI PACK in the games.
Zoids oh god ZOIDS. Introduced during New Century Zero Right during The Elephander backdraft fight and Strike lazer claw being called out.... Dont get me on Zoids. I need MORE and the new stuff just isnt as satisfying especially since i found a boot legger that Unlocalized the OST of Chaotic century shoved it on a blueray with the dub intact 99% of the time and did the same with NC0 but with an option of dual audio but no subs... Genesis was INSANE with how dark it got near the end.
Finally someone brings up medabots.... crazy thing is i closed out 2024 bing watching medabots on prime 🎉
This is a sign, 2025 we getting new medabots in the west lol
There is NO way i stumble upon this video after THINKING, not even saying aloud for ANY actively listening ai nonsense to know I was remotely thinking about Medabots yet alone this franchise living rent-free in my head for several DAYS now!

And open world action RPG medabots game would be sick
The game cube one which flopped should’ve just been made more open world and etc.
They argue piccolo and knuckles are black Metabee was definitely black
At least in the dub I'd say he's 90s TV Black for sure
Love the format! Really enjoy your videos.
A crossover with BATTLENETWORK? I’m sorry that’s arguably the most insane thing I’ve ever heard and it’s got me fiendin.
MMBN was my favorite series as a kid, hot damn.
Iirc S Nova also had a collab with the X series
rise and fall vids of zoids , beyblade, gundam, and digimon are needed!!
Digimon and beyblade are definitely on the list
@Remyael Zoids should be top. Beyblade is still wildly popular even if it's changed and still ongoing. Gundam hasn't ended either, we just haven't gotten a new series in US for several years. But Zoids had a true downfall. We had two amazing, interconnected shows as well as Fuzors which had a short life on American TV.

"Rise and Fall of Gundam" is a but odd thing to say since the franchise is massively popular in Japan.
Remember… Tamiya 4WD? And….Crush Gear Turbo?
This was a nice trip down memory lane. And I actually did buy and build a medabot model kit as an adult now haha.
Bro, you didnt talk about how the referee would show up to every ro-battle in some ridiculous way!

He was doing the most in the best way lol
As a kid I watched the hell outta this show
I liked the show. They could not grasp the kinda game they shouldve made for this. Fully customizable robots needs an open game in my opinion or somethings
A open world action RPG game would be sick
This a really great old school anime I think it's just that people preferred giant robots over what was basical robotic pokemon.
It's funny what keeps going and what faded out (R.I.P Buddyfight)
Yoooo a buddy fight fan we are few but we are still around
@Remyael I never even played the card game. I just got hooked on the show watching it on RUclips, but I do have some cards. It was weird that Bushiroad sold a 10-year anniversary set for a franchise they canceled.
Im sad cuz there was a medabots cross over supposed to come but since it cancelled it never came about
@Yoh23 that sucks
Medabot Spirits came to the west didn't it? I wanna say it was on Jetix.

And… subscribed! even though you animation is okay, your topic spoke to me. Good content will come to this channel :)
the most slept on anime of all time is zatch bell (subs only), but medabots its close, medabots metabee version is my favourite gba game of all time
Zatch Bell is amazing and the manga is one of my favorite mangas of all time, I hope you've seen the new zatch Bell manga with the time skip it's so good so far
Is it though? It's literally getting a sequel. It's not like Bobobo Bo Bo Bobo or Toriko, that got the axe before they could finish.
@@ccggenius if you don't know the author of zatch bell after the series ended asked for his artwork back. Only to receive coffee stained art, ripped and missing. He sued and won.

kotobukiya are making the medabots model kit .
Oh they're still making model kits are they like gunplas? Cuz if so I might need to treat myself for my birthday coming up
@ yes it just like gunplas .
@@Remyaelthey made bass and sigma not too long ago.
Super duper slept on abc and fox thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience this

And nobody asked but I am just gonna say I thought Cyan Dog's look was peak Medabots
Cyan dog was too cool to be used as a fodder medabot, he had one ep to shine but he deserved more
The first two seasons of Metabots was awesomely made!
Hopefully if they do bring it back, they hire the original animation team / company.
The cool thing is, there is a Medabot card game. There are cards in English and Japanese
i wanted an actual medabot so bad when i was a kid
This could've been an amazing strategic creature collector/battler series if they'd kept it going.
I loved this show as a kid.
Also the only reason the WonderSwan console is remembered, the means of being the first game existing. Henry was the hero you played as, and why after growing up, he still plays hero as the Phantom Renegade and Masked Medafighter.
one note medarot 1 released for the original game boy not the GBA the gameboy advance released in japan in 2001 4 years after medarot 1
There one of those megaman legacy for medabots on the switch in Japan. Would of been nice if the west got it. The Rpg was my favorite. Never played the one on GameCube. I wish zoids came back with another rpg like the ones on the gameboy advance.
I like these nostalgic videos

Wow that's some crazy interesting lore
Medabee had that Hercules Beetle in him
Man i remember seeing a life sized metabee in toys-R-us back in the day. Unfortunately i couldn't convince my mom to buy it.
This show was amazing
Medabots needa make a comeback in big 2025
If they gave us a good, interactive toy line for Medabots, I'd leave my Beyblade X hobby.
Maaaaaaaaaan Bayblade with Tyson and the crew was top tier content
Given the rise and advancement of AI technology today, I could see medabots really finding an audience in today's kids
The Anime as a kid was one of my favourites, it just had charm with Robot partners unlike Digimon and Pokemon has "monster creatures".
I heard the Medabot name got stolen in the West which is why the Franchise ended here, but is still growing strong in Japan.
I have shown my kids metabots but I'm still searching for zatch bell
Metabots was the highlight of my 11 year old life lmao
Same lol
Bandai huh? I wonder if there’s been a crossover with Gundam. Now that I think about it isn’t Gundam Build Fighters just Medabots with Gundam?
Don't give me hope, a 00 x Rokusho or Barbatos x Metabee would break my wallet 😂
God i miss this so much, i had so many of the toys i really wanted more but it disapried, i still loved the ep were you find out the dog medabot had a monkey mental and could't use it's gun very well
This and zatch bell so slept on
Medabots was dope & I still have my action figure of metabee
best carton ever saw!!! 2000 was lit year
They also had a game on their website where u assembled a bot and auto battled people. I think you could take parts
Medabot fan here.
Nice one, sir. Let's Go
Those cross overs go crazy!!!!!
Noticed a mistake pointing all games released on gba. Technically is true to some extent, but i must clarify a lot of titles were released for Game Boy, GameCube or NDS, not only GBA.
Regardless, i'm just happy to hear the take of a fellow medabots fan on the series.
I didn't name all consoles games were released on, those are some examples
what about bedamon?
Yo you just unlocked a memory with that one
I still have one in my room on the shelf 😂
You would be surprised on how much R&D is saved when you raid tombs and use their artifacts to create life.
Lol yeah I guess the budget would need much if You're working to revive a dead IP
@@Remyael No, seriously. That's how Dr. Aki got his tech in the anime.
i like medabots because of the customizability. it reminds me of front mission or armored core but less serious.
Loved that gameboy game my goodness.
I've been saying it since middle school, Medabee is just a yn off the street in the best way
Yes sir metabee was the blueprint lol
14:56 U know what, u right. I'll give a like for that alone
im just glad that you can buy the blurays of the american and japanese dub thanks to discotek
The medabot rpg for gameboy was soooo good.
This show or video games need a comeback.
It really does, even it it came back as CGI I'd take it at this point
The starting of the song always reminded me of the beginning of yugioh
YOOOO MEDABOTS, LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO
we got done dirty we got that sweet sweet tast of medabots just to get it taken away and be put behind a giant language barrier thank fully there is a massive community effort to translate it all the 3rd game got a full fan translation a couple of months ago
I know why there seems to only be one referee. One bot is probably more expensive than that man's salary for 10 years. There's probably some internal number the company decided upon, we'll say 7. For every 7 bots they sell, they train up a referee, and now his job for life is promoting and officiating mech duels.

Yeah I'm thinking of getting a Metabee model on for my birthday
did the fallow up show did get a western release, it's online and I know someone that grew up watching it.
I used to love this show
It was mad good
if you look at it... where technology is now... we could have medabots... IJS!
lbx ?
The theme song was mad good man
Ignore my bad singing at the end of the video 😂
@Remyael Could you make an episode about Flint the Time Detective? I loved that show
I actually have no idea what that is but I'll look into it tho
Didn't he find him in the junk yard if remember correctly
He found the medal in the trash/river, and Henry was trying to get rid of metabee because he was a old model so he sold him to ikki at a cheap price
I agree with your opinion on characters with cloaks, so much so I have a cloak collection irl, lol
You get it lol
This was GAS!!!
I miss the medabots flash game back in day on there official site 😊
Grade A title work
i got so impatient i actually picked up the download code for the medarot collection and got a japanese account to use it on
medarots and zoids need a comback.
God I love Medabots 🙌🤖
I loved Medabots. I had the games and watched the show.
I had a dream of remaking this show but I don’t have the money to invest yet. One of the few revival projects i feel has potential along with Zoids
Zoids had so much potential but idk I think it just wasn't marketed right over here
This was that work
There's a mobile game that's on going in Japan called Medarot S.
Yeah I talked about it twords the end of the video and I used the image on the thumbnail
