Medabots AX: Metabee/Rokusho FAQ 1.1 Started: 7/20/02 Copyright 2002 by Averman Email: AverMan62@Hotmail.com | Warning | Anyone may reproduce this FAQ electronically, but don't sell it for money. If you want to use this FAQ for your website you must ask my permission, email me at AverMan62@Hotmail.com with Medabots AX as the title, you must do it with this the Warning in it and do not modify any part of it. If you do use it, without my permission and I find out, trust me I WILL, you'll feel some serious legal trouble!!! Both Versions of Medabots AX are copyrights to Natsume. | Intro | What's Up!! This is Averman here to bring you another quality FAQ or a decent one. (You decide) This time Averman has created a FAQ for the popular TV series turned video game, Medabots. Personally, I love the TV show and I couldn't wait 'til they made a game. Now that it is out and I got it, you can only expect greatness. If anyone has any questions, comments, or suggestions, please email me at Averman62@Hotmail.com. Both versions of Medabots AX are copyrights of Natsume. Anyway, let's move onto the FAQ. | Should I Play This Game? | Of course! This 2-D RPG is for hardcore fans of the series, anyone who likes robot games, and those looking for a game that will keep them busy for a few weeks. Medabots features over 200+ parts to collect along with 8 different ways to train your Medabot. You can continue playing after you've beaten the tournament as well. | What's the point of this FAQ? | The purpose of this FAQ is to give you an idea of what to expect and what parts to use in battles. I made this FAQ for the Metabee version and the Rokusho Version. ||| Updates ||| | 7/31/02 | - Updated Warning - Added Rokusho Version - Fixed some errors Comments: I finally got my hands on the Rokusho version of this game. All my hard work has paid off!!! I added his walkthrough section right after Metabee's. I fixed a few errors including the one about the MEDAFORCE. It turns out that you just sit and wait 'til your medabot starts to draw some MEDAFORCE. You don't have to hold "down" to hurry the process. Also GBAWorld.net is on my list of where you can find my site. It's a great site so you should check it out! ||| Table of Contents ||| 1. Story 2. Battle Controls 3. Metabee Version 4. Rokusho Version 5. Thanks, The List & The Warning! ||| 1. Story ||| The story behind this game is a simple one: yourself (as Ikky) and your supercharged medabot, Metabee or Rokusho decide to compete in a local tournament. In order to do so you must compete against each other medabots in challenging robattles. The loser of these robattles must submit one medapart to the winner. In order to beat the game you'll use these interchangeable medaparts to defeat the more powerful medabots you'll encounter. As you win more and more robattles, your medabot will gain experience and eventually become the most powerful in the world!! Well at least in Medabots. ^_^' ||| 2. Battle Controls ||| This is a list of attacks and movements that you use in battle. Everything else is self-explanatory. --------------------- Battle Controls --------------------- These are the controls that you would use in a battle. | Basics | Up - Does nothing Down - Collects MEDAFORCE Left - Moves your medabot left Right - Moves your medabot right A Button - Jump B Button - Fire Right Weapon L Button - Block R Button - Give orders to your partner Start - Pauses the fight Select - Fires your MEDAFORCE | Advanced | Up+B Button - Fire's head weapon Down+A Button - Go down a level Down+ B Button - Fire Left weapon Left/Right 2x - Run in either direction When knocked down...Left/Right 2x's to roll When facing your enemy....press the direction button twice facing them and you'll bump them. ||| 3. Metabee Version ||| This is a strategy guide to the Metabee version. It is broken down into three sections: the first 7 stages, the tournament, and the encounter with the Rubberobo gang. || 7 Stages || -------------- In order to enter the tournament, Ikky and Metabee must complete 7 stages. It's up to you to lead them to victory. After a stage is completed, you'll get a medapart to add to your medabot, loads of experience, and sometimes a medal. Medals are the "soul" of the medabot. They determine its stats and its special MEDAFORCE attack. NOTE: I just listed the stages in ABC order. It really isn't a walkthrough 'cause a lot of people like to take their own path. The easiest stage, in my opinion, is the Ancient Ruin. --------------------- Ancient Ruins --------------------- The Ancient Ruins is a great place to start your robattling journey. This is arguably the easiest of all the stages. There are no annoying ledges to hop, it's not a very big level, and there is no water to deal with. This is also a good place to practice robattling to get some experience. * First Fight * --------------------- In this battle, the leader likes to run around and hide in corners, while gathering MEDAFORCE and giving defense bonuses to his partner. Once you get close to him, he will try to run from you. Hit him with a grappling weapon (NinjaDagger) when you get the chance and when you start to lose him, hit him with a ranged weapon (SubmachineGun). His partner likes to stun you with its electrical attacks, which can get very annoying after the third or fourth time. Dodge his partner and put all of your attention on the leader and this will be a short fight. For your partner, equip her with AllRepair head, and two ranged weapons or one ranged weapon and the Flop. * Second Fight * --------------------- Both the leader and his partner are very fast and like to raise each other's defense. It can get so bad, that even your strongest attacks will do little damage. You can tell when they have this when you see a gray shield over them. The best way to defeat them is to attack from afar. Make sure you give your partner the Flop. It will be very effective in stopping the leader in its tracks. * Third Fight * --------------------- This is the hardest of the three fights because you'll be facing two medabots that can heal in some way. The leader has healing parts while the partner's MEDAFORCE is an attack that can steal health from you and add to hers. Be quick to attack the leader and don't let the leader leave your sight, if that doesn't work, destroy the partner than the leader. Chances are you'll need to use the MEDAFORCE in this fight. Equip your leader with grappling weapon (Ninja Dagger) and a ranged weapon (Submachine Gun) and your partner with AllRepair head, and two ranged weapons. TIP: If you ever get the chance, during a fight, hold the down button and you'll gather the MEDAFORCE!!! Then hit Select and your medabot will unleash a powerful attack based on their medal. --------------------- Factory --------------------- This is probably the hardest of all the stages. The main reason for the major difficulty is because of the stage itself. There are plenty of turn-belt's to move you one way, platforms that move you up and down, and some of the background gets in the way of your view. This makes it hard to see where your enemy is. You should at least go to one practice so you know what I'm talking about. * First Fight * --------------------- Two grappling weapons (R: NinjaSword L: FlameGun) are very effective in this fight. For your partner, anything that heals will do. The leader has a two MegaLasers equipped, which has the ability to destroy your parts in one or two hits. *gasp* Don't worry, unfortunately for your leader, it take a while to charge and fire the MegaLaser. *whew* Hit him fast and, if necessary, use the MEDAFORCE. Whatever you do, DONT STAY IN ONE PLACE TOO LONG!! * Second Fight * --------------------- Equip Metabee with some strong ranged weapons (R: MegaLaser L: SubmachineGun) and, if you wish, the Helmet. Have your partner equip the AllRepair head, a ranged weapon (PateriVulcan) and the Flop or the RepairArm. This fight is very hard. The leader is equipped with two FlameGuns and his partner is equipped with two LightBlows. Sounds like fun, huh? If you got a MegaLaser from the last fight, this fight is a lot easier. Any ranged attack will be good but if you don't time your ranged attacks carefully, you're going to get toasted or fried. The MEDAFORCE will help a lot. * Third Fight * --------------------- Be sure to equip your leader with a grappling weapon and a ranged weapon along with your fastest legs. Equip your partner with the usual: Flop, AllRepair, and a ranged weapon. Don't forget to equip faster legs (Sala-Tail). This fight isn't as hard as the first two and the level doesn't get in the way either. The leaders ranged weapons (which are very strong) are something to worry about along with his partners LightBlow. That is pretty much it. --------------------- Forest --------------------- This place is crazy! All of the battles take place in the tops of trees. Whenever you see a bunch of leaves, it's a hole where you can jump down to the branch below. Fast medabots will have a small advantage in this stage. TIP: By pressing "down+A" will let you fall to the next level. * First Fight * --------------------- Equip your leader with a grappling weapon (Ninja Dagger) and a ranged weapon (Submachine Gun) and your partner with the AllRepair head, the Flop, and a ranged weapon (PateriVulcan). Also change both of your bots legs for faster ones (Sqaushbasher/Sala-Tail). With the faster legs you equipped along with the Ninja Dagger, you'll be able to keep up with the enemy bots and slash away their parts. Stay away from the partner because he'll try to slow you down with arm parts Hold & Twist. * Second Fight * --------------------- Equip whatever you feel comfortable with because this fight is so easy if you time it right. The leader likes to stand out in the open and....do...nothing. I experience this every time I play. So this can be either a long fight or a short one. Hit him with well-timed missile attacks or do it the long hard way, piece-by-piece. * Third Fight * --------------------- Pick your strongest weapons like the MegaLaser (very effective). For your partner, anything that heals and anything that can stun your opponent like (Flop or LightBlow) will be good. Attack the leader with everything you have!! Both of your opponents have the Helmet head equipped. This head has the ability to bring back a part that you have worked so hard to destroy. (Awww man) Since both of them have it equipped, they can revive up to six parts. To prevent this, attack them when you see them create a blue missile. If you attack them at the right moment, they will have just wasted there time and taken some serious damage on the side. Time your missiles VERY carefully and keep you MEDAFORCE handy, it'll be your best friend. --------------------- Lake --------------------- All the battle's here will involve water in some way, which make it hard for land lovin' medabots. After the first fight, you might cop some water parts but the rest of the fights aren't as easy. You might want to practice a few times before entering the stage. That way you'll know how it's like to robattle underwater. TIP: If you don't manage to get the water legs, don't worry. You can use any other leg medaparts that are fast (Sqaushbasher) or not influenced by a landform (Sala-Tail). * First Fight * --------------------- Equip your leader with either two ranged or grappling weapons. Equip your partner with whatever you like. Just make sure you have at least one healing item. Don't forget to change those legs. This stage is half water and half land, so your enemies will have a slight advantage over you. Beware of your enemy's partner; she will heal the leader after every attack. You might have to take a detour and take out the partner first. It will be a lot easier that way. * Second Fight * --------------------- Whatever you feel comfortable with. Water levels are kind of different so my suggestions might not work for everyone. This battle is kind of hard to predict because the partner will use random weapons. Try to destroy the leader as fast as you can before the partner gets something good. (More water!!!) * Third Fight * --------------------- Equip your best weapons!!! This stage is about 3/4 water so you can imagine the time you'll have moving around. Both the leader and the partner can heal each other but they are beatable. Hit the leader/partner hard, wait 'til either of them heals, then hit them harder. You might have to use your MEDAFORCE on this one. --------------------- Polar Region --------------------- The polar region is just a colder version of the lake level. Some of the stages are filled with water but all of them include the treacherous slippery ice. The fights in this stage aren't very hard but the slippery ice plus the occasional water adds to difficulty. * First Fight * --------------------- This round involves water, so bring your best water legs. This battle isn't that hard; all you have to do is attack the leader and take her apart. The only thing to watch for is the healing ability that they like to use so much. * Second Fight * --------------------- Again, bring some water legs to even the playing field. Also a grappling weapon or two(R: Ninja Dagger L: NinjaSword) is very effective this stage. Get in close and time your missile attacks to make short work of this fight. * Third Fight * --------------------- A ranged weapon or two will do nicely. The leader has a wicked close range attack (DonDonPunch) that can cut threw your parts like a hot knife threw butter. It is a slow attack to launch, though. Keep your distance with a few ranged weapons and beware of his partner. He likes to slow you down and let his partner use his DonDonPunch on you. (No water this round!!!) --------------------- Seashore --------------------- The seashore is filled with rocky ledges to move about on. You'll be chased and do doing a lot of chasing in this stage. At least there is no water to deal with. :-) * First Fight * --------------------- Bring your best-ranged weapons(R: MegaLaser L: SubmachineGun) and equip yourself with the Helmet head if you have it. The Helmet has the ability to revive a part that has been blown off. (Cool!!) Have your partner equip with the usual, AllRepair, Flop, and a ranged weapon. The leader has two flamethrowers that will torch your parts in one hit. If you have the Helmet head, this will be an easier fight. Keep your distance and time your attacks to win this fight. TRICK: If you have the Helmet head, here is a little trick that you can use; equip the Helmet head along with the Helmight. With the Helmet head equipped, you can use the Helmight multiple times, thus allowing you to put some major hurt on your enemy!! You'll see how effective this is in the fights to come. * Second Fight * --------------------- Equip your fastest legs (Helchaos) for both of your medabots. Pick the weapons that you feel most comfortable with; you'll be doing a lot of chasing this during this fight. The MEDAFORCE might be helpful in this fight. * Third Fight * --------------------- Equip your leader with its most powerful weapons and your partner with the Flop. The leader uses a mighty weapon known as the Helmight. It sacrifices the arm part to do massive damage to the poor medabot in its way. To make it worse, his partner has the Helmet head equipped to bring back the Helmight. Also, to make things worse, they have a weapon that can make your medabot confused and temporarily lose the ability to block. This fight is one of the hardest in the game. Keep them both busy and prevent the leader from receiving the revive missile by attacking the partner constantly. It will be best if you take out the partner first thus leaving his leader without a way to attack you. The MEDAFORCE will be a must in this fight. || Tournament || ----------------- After completing the 7 stages, a star will appear next to the tournament. Here you'll face random robattlers and some from the TV shows. I'm pretty sure the line up, listed below, is the same for everyone with the Metabee version. You could have also fought them at the newly transformed gray stars. (You might to revisit some of these to get your stats up before entering the tournament.) TIP: By now you should've leveled up enough to get "panels". Panels are used to give your partner orders. May it be "Use MEDAFORCE", "Heal Leader" or "Run Away" these will be crucial in the battles to ahead. After every successful robattle, you should save and then comeback to the tournament. Don't worry, you will continue where you left off. --------------------- Charlie --------------------- Equip your best grappling weapon (NinjaDagger) and your best grappling legs (TipToe). For your partner, equip her with the AllRepair head, and two ranged weapons. Both of Charlie's medabots are both equipped with a Rifle and a Hold. They like to slow you down in order to make you easier to hit. They like to team up and chase you around. This will make it easier for you to use your grappling weapon. Be sure to surprise them with the MEDAFORCE or a missile to the medapart. --------------------- Julie --------------------- Equip your leader with the MegaLaser (it will make the fight go faster) or a grappling weapon. Don't forget to give your partner something to heal you with. The only things to look out for are: their ability to heal and the random weapons that her partner will use. Her partner has the same legs that PepperCat uses in the show, which means she is she very fast. They also like to surround you but with a decent grappling weapon, you can make them pay for invading your personal space. >:) NOTE: After winning, receiving experience and a part, you have an option of leaving the tournament. Don't worry, you can leave, save, and return right where you left off. --------------------- Jimmy --------------------- Faster legs might help you keep up with the leader. Be sure to equip your partner with the Flop. With the faster legs, you'll be able to keep up with Jimmy's leader. Focus on the leader because he likes to draw MEDAFORCE while his partner does all to fighting. The most annoying thing about this fight is that they can't get enough of boosting each other's defense. Thus, making it harder to damage them. --------------------- Hiro --------------------- Your fastest legs will help and plus the Helmet if you have it. Hiro's leader is equipped to the core with fire weapons. His head and arms are fire weapons, which is bad news for you. To make it worse, his partner will try to slow you down to make it easier for him to turn you to toast. Keep you distance from both of them with your ranged weapons. --------------------- Fran --------------------- Equip your leader with a FlameGun or any other grappling weapon. The MegaLaser is most effective against Fran's grappling medabots. Fran's leader is equipped with a Flap and a Flop; both of these weapons have the ability to freeze you. While her partner has two PrideVipers which makes it hard to tell what she will use. The leader has a weakness that should be exploited to the fullest; she is very slow with the legs she has equipped. --------------------- Sean --------------------- A couple of ranged weapons (R: MegaLaser/L: FlameGun) should make this fight no problem. Make sure your partner has the Flop and a healing part or two equipped. Both of Sean's medabots are ready for some down and dirty close ranged combat. They both have the TipToe legs (great for grappling), the mighty DonDonPunch equipped along with NinjaSwords. Keep your distance because the DonDonPunch is fatal. If they get too close torch them and run. They are pretty fast though plus the have the ability to heal. Another way you could defeat them is by equip some grappling weapons for yourself (R: NinjaSword L: Submachine Gun) of your own. I beat them using this strategy. ^_^ --------------------- Kathy --------------------- Equip your leader with a grappling weapon and your partner with a healing item. Kathy's leader is a powerhouse using two MegaLasers and a head that can disable your block. Kathy's partner is a healing machine. Dodge the leader and attack the partner. She'll be easy since she has no weapons. It'll make it easier to destroy the leader too. To beat him, get close, attack then run. If his partner is gone, you'll have nothing to worry about plus the MegaLaser takes a while to fire. --------------------- Jordan --------------------- Make sure your partner has an at least two healing parts. Jordan uses the Helmight and Helmet combo. This time the leader has the Helmights and the partner has the Helmet. You should take out the partner first then the leader. That would be an easy task if his partner didn't have those two MegaLasers equipped. If you do manage to destroy the partner, then this fight won't be a problem. Beware that the leader has the head equipped that sets a trap for grappling medaparts. --------------------- Karin --------------------- This fight is probably the simplest fight in the whole game. Attack the leader, NeutraNurse. She has no attack weapons but she likes to run around a lot and heal her partner. Her partner is fast but you easily out run him if you equip some faster legs. Just attack NutraNurse and this fight will be over soon. --------------------- Spyke --------------------- Grappling weapons are very effective if manage to get close enough. Spyke's leader, KrosserDog, can take you out before you can even get to him. Try to get behind him or if you get knocked down, roll toward him and get some hits in with you grappling weapons. Keep your distance from his partner who has two NinjaSwords. You might have to use the MEDAFORCE on this one. --------------------- Sloan --------------------- Equip your leader with a grappling weapon and equip your partner and yourself faster legs. Both of Sloan's medabots have tank legs equipped. This means that their legs have a lot of defense but are very slow. This is where your faster legs come in. Run circles around them and slash at their medaparts. Just beware of the partner, who will try to slow you down and hit you with his MegaLaser. (The leader has a pair too) --------------------- Samantha --------------------- PepperCat likes to run around the stage and send jolts of electricity threw your medabot. Her partner will float threw the air shooting magnetic orbs at you. To prepare for the electrical storm known as PepperCat, you'll need to equip either shooting or grappling weapons. You can try to take her out from a far (R: Revolver/L: SubmachineGun) or go toe-to-toe with her(R: NinjaSword/L: YourChoice). Don't let them get you in a corner and you might have to use the MEDAFORCE on this one. --------------------- Erika --------------------- Erika's medabots are all about business especially the leader, Brass. She doesn't wait until your other medaparts are gone to take out your head. Her medabots heads have the ability to increase their chance of headshots so beware. You'll know that they are using this ability when they have a rock looking thing over them. Their ranged weapons can be deadly if you stand around too long. Use the MEDAFORCE if needed. You should equip a MegaLaser and have your partner equip with the Flop and a healing medapart. This will be a hard fight. --------------------- Henry --------------------- This fight isn't as hard as the one with Erika but don't expect this one to be a walk in the park either. Henry's leader is basically equipped with the equivalent of the Revolver and a SubmachineGun and his partner is equipped with two NinjaSwords. Go straight for the leader and this fight will be over soon. --------------------- Koji --------------------- This is it!! This is the final fight in the Medabots Tournament. It's you versus your archrival Koji. Koji's leader is nothing to worry about but his partner is. He wields two MegaLasers and is not afraid to use them. Stay away from him all together and you'll be all right. --------------------- Victory !!! --------------------- You've just beaten the game!! Pat yourself on the back and enjoy the credits. If you haven't noticed, there is a section under this one. Just watch the credits roll and you'll see. || Rubberobo Gang!! || ---------------------- The Rubberobos are scattered across the world map. Anyway in order to get your prize back, you'll have to defeat the four leaders of the Rubberobos. They are all located at random places but you will still have to fight them in the same order listed below. NOTE: Just because you don't see one of the leaders at one place, doesn't mean that you wont find them in another location after you defeat a previous leader. Otherwise you'll be fighting the no name henchmen forever. ----------------- SquidGuts ----------------- This fight will be a little difficult. Both of SquidGuts medabots have the DonDonPunch equipped, which mean a lot of trouble if you get too close. To make it worse the leader is very fast and his partner has the Helmet (he can revive parts) equipped. The MegaLaser can help if you time it right but a grappling weapon will help the most. This is because they have to get close to you anyway so you might as well fight on their level. Never attack them directly unless using the MEDAFORCE. Run around and when you are trapped, attack and repeat. Chances are you will not beat him the first time you fight him. ----------------- GillGirl ----------------- This fight isn't as hard as the one with SquidGuts was. The leader will use random weapons at will and her partner will try to slow you down with electrical attacks. Shoot them down from a far with your ranged weapons. Use this tactic in order to win because you'll never know what they will get. ----------------- ShrimpLips ----------------- ShrimpLips main focus is to have his leader confuse you while; his partner attacks your confused medabot. You'll know you're confused when...um...you lose control of your medabot and you see halo around its head. That is his only attack though. A MegaLaser can make short work of his arms that shoot the confusion attacks. Use a grappling weapon like the StrawHammer just in case his partner tries to get in your face. You might want to take his partner first because he's the only one with a real attack. ----------------- SeaSlug ----------------- THIS IS THE HARDEST FIGHT IN THE GAME!!! SeaSlug's leader is the mighty Megaemperor. Both of the Megaemperor's weapons can take out your parts in one hit. Try to avoid him at all costs until you take out his partner. His partner uses two grappling weapons and has the Helmet to make things worse. A MegaLaser is nice but risky. It's best to have one grappling weapon and a ranged weapon. You'll have to use the MEDAFORCE a few times to win this fight. I beat him by first killing the partner. By then, my partner wasn't even functioning. Go in a corner to build up some MEDAFORCE. If you see the Megaemperor, you're too close to him. Once you have enough MEDAFORCE, get close and hit him with it. You might be lucky enough to take a few parts off or score a headshot. Repeat this until he is destroyed. ||| 4. Rokusho Version ||| This is a strategy guide to the Rokusho version. It is broken down into three sections: the first 7 stages, the tournament, and the encounter with the Rubberobo gang. || 7 Stages || -------------- In order to enter the tournament, Ikky and Rokusho must complete 7 stages. It's up to you to lead them to victory. After a stage is completed, you'll get a medapart to add to your medabot, loads of experience, and sometimes a medal. Medals are basically the "soul" of the medabot. They determine its stats and its special MEDAFORCE attack. --------------------- Ancient Ruins --------------------- The Ancient Ruins is a great place to start your robattling journey. This is arguably the easiest of all the stages. There are no annoying ledges to hop, it's not a very big level, and there is no water to deal with. This is also a good place to practice robattling to get some experience. * Fight One * ------------- For this fight you should equip fight the Sword and the Rifle and your partner with the Flop, AllRepair, and the PateriVulcan. This will be a normal fight without much to worry about. Get in close but not too close; the leader and the partner like to jump you. The partner's MEDAFORCE, once used, will confuse you. * Fight Two * ------------- This fight is fairly easy. You can go into this fight with whatever you want but beware of two things: your opponents head can fire missiles capable of destroying parts in one hit and they both are kind of fast. * Fight Three * --------------- For this fight equip the BlastGun head plus two of Rokusho's grappling weapons. Equip your partner with the Flop and a ranged weapon. The leader is equipped with a Flop and the PateriVulcan while her partner has two PateriVulcans. Beware of her partner's ranged attacks and you'll be fine. The leader likes to chill in corners and wait for you to come to her. If you equipped the BlastGun, you can torch her and then watch her cook. Don't wait to long though because they can and will heal themselves. --------------------- Factory --------------------- This is probably the hardest of all the stages. The main reason for the major difficulty is because of the stage itself. There are plenty of turn-belt's to move you one way, platforms that move you up and down, and some of the background gets in the way of your view. This makes it hard to see where your enemy is. You should at least go to one practice so you know what I'm talking about. * Fight One * ------------- This fight isn't that difficult. You can equip your partner and Rokusho with whatever you want. The leader likes to slow you down while, causing minor damage to any medapart (usually your legs parts). His partner isn't much. She has a PateriViper and likes to heal. This should be a short fight if you get the MEDAFORCE involved. * Fight Two * ------------- This fight is a lot harder than the one before. Grappling medaparts are your best bet in this fight and make sure your partner has one healing item. The leader is a long ranged killer. He has two Rifles and a MissleBase equipped. Try to close the gap between you and his ranged weapons. A series of hit & runs can make short work of his Rifles. His partner will use get random weapons at will so just watch out. She can also heal. The MEDAFORCE might come in handy in this fight. * Fight Three * --------------- Be sure to equip your leader with a grappling weapon and a ranged weapon along with your fastest legs. The BlastGun helps. Equip your partner with the usual: Flop, AllRepair, and a ranged weapon. Don't forget to equip faster legs (Sala-Tail). This fight isn't as hard as the first two and the level doesn't get in the way either. The leader is a fast grappler so when you see him coming, hit him with your ranged weapon or the BlastGun. His just heals and will use random weapons. That is pretty much it. --------------------- Forest --------------------- This place is crazy! All of the battles take place in the tops of trees. Whenever you see a bunch of leaves, it's a hole where you can jump down to the branch below. Fast medabots will have a small advantage in this stage. TIP: By pressing "down+A" will let you fall to the next level. * Fight One * ------------- Equip your leader with the Sword and Rifle (or something like that). You might want to consider changing your head to the MissleBase or the BlastGun. For your partner, its fastest legs (Sala-Tail) will do. If managed to get faster legs for your leader, equip them. The leader and his partner that you'll be facing are very fast. Although they have the speed advantage, they do not posses a lot of offensive powers. The leader's weapons will slow you down while, his partner; will attempt to take you out with his missiles. If you can stay away from his partner's missile barrage, this fight won't last long. * Fight Two * ------------- This fight is similar to the one in the Metabee version. The leader likes to sit around and wait until you come to him. He is armed with the JudgeSheild (boost defense) and can fire missiles with his other arm. His partner just heals and isn't much of a threat. Go straight for the leader to make short work of this fight. The BlastGun help a lot. * Fight Three * ---------------- Pick your strongest weapons like the MegaLaser (very effective if you have it) or the MissleBase. If you decide to go into close ranged combat, the Sword/Rifle will also do. For your partner, anything that heals and anything that can stun your opponent like (Flop or LightBlow) will be good. Attack the leader with everything you have!! Both of your opponents have the Helmet head equipped. This head has the ability to bring back a part that you have worked so hard to destroy. (Awww man) Since both of them have it equipped, they can revive up to six parts. To prevent this, attack them when you see them create a blue missile. If you attack them at the right moment, they will have just wasted there time and taken some serious damage on the side. Time your attacks VERY carefully and keep you MEDAFORCE handy, it'll be your best friend. --------------------- Lake --------------------- All the battle's here will involve water in some way, which make it hard for land lovin' medabots. After the first fight, you might cop some water parts but, just so you know, these fights aren't as easy. You might want to practice a few times before entering the stage. That way you'll know how it's like to robattle underwater. TIP: If you don't manage to get the water legs, don't worry. You can use any other leg medaparts that are fast (Vehicle) or not influenced by a landform (Sala-Tail). * Fight One * ------------- This level is about half water and half land. Equip two grappling weapons, for your leader, and at least one healing part and the Sala-Tail (or something like it). Both the leader and his partner are ready for underwater combat. Actually, only the leader has attack weapons (two grappling weapons). He likes to get in close and loves to stay in the water. As I mention before, the water is the only difficult thing about this level. * Second Fight * --------------------- Whatever you feel comfortable with. Water levels are kind of different so my suggestions might not work for everyone. This battle is kind of hard to predict because the partner will use random weapons. The leader is nothing to worry about except for his weapon that can slow down your medabot. Try to destroy the leader as fast as you can before the partner gets something good. (More water!!!) * Third Fight * --------------------- Equip your best weapons!!! This stage is about 3/4 water so you can imagine the time you'll have moving around. Both the leader and the partner can heal each other but they are beatable. Hit the leader/partner hard, wait 'til either of them heals, then hit them harder. You might have to use your MEDAFORCE on this one. --------------------- Polar Region --------------------- The polar region is just a colder version of the lake level. Some of the stages are filled with water but all of them include the treacherous slippery ice. The fights in this stage aren't very hard but the slippery ice plus the occasional water adds to difficulty. * Fight One * ------------- Equip Rokusho with his best grappling weapons and the BlastGun head helps a lot too. Make sure you give your partner at least one healing item. Both of your opponents can heal each other and they tend to do it constantly. The leader has one weakness that should be exploited; she is very slow. Oh yeah...the stage is 50% water so bring your fastest legs. * Fight Two * ------------- Equip Rokusho and his partner with as many ranged weapons possible. MissleBase very effective!! You'll need to equip your fastest legs as well. More water!! The leader you'll be using a weapon that traps for grappling weapons. This means that your grappling weapons will be destroyed if you use them. His partner has two Rifle's equipped but isn't much of a threat. * Fight Three * --------------- A ranged weapon or two will help out Rokusho nicely. The leader has a wicked close range attack (DonDonPunch) that can cut threw your parts like a hot knife threw butter. It is a slow attack to launch, though. Keep your distance with a few ranged weapons and beware of his partner. He has two GuideMissle medaparts equipped that can do some serious damage to your medaparts if it connects. (No water this round!!!) --------------------- Seashore --------------------- The seashore is filled with rocky ledges to move about on. You'll be chased and do doing a lot of chasing in this stage. At least there is no water to deal with. :-) * Fight One * ------------- For your leader, equip your leader with two ranged weapons or one ranged weapon and a grappling weapon. If you choose the second option, make sure the ranged weapon is your main weapon. For your partner, equip her with one healing item and two ranged weapons. The leader, you'll be facing, has the Cover-Up head equipped. This means he can set a trap for your grappling weapons and they will be destroyed when you use them. His partner heals most of the time but watch for her Flop though. * Fight Two * ------------- Equip your leader with one or two long ranged medaparts. Equip your partner with a Flop, AllRepair head and the PateriVulcan. The leader is a grappling machine. If you get too close to him, he'll torch you will his BlastGun head. As for his partner, she will be using weapons at random but she is very slow. The partner will not be much of a factor so hit the leader with everything you have. You might have to use the MEDAFORCE in this fight. * Third Fight * --------------------- Equip your leader with its most powerful weapons and your partner with the Flop. The leader uses a mighty weapon known as the Helmight. It sacrifices the arm part to do massive damage to the poor medabot in its way. To make it worse, his partner has the Helmet head equipped to bring back the Helmight. Also, to make things worse, they have a weapon that can make your medabot confused and temporarily lose the ability to block. This fight is one of the hardest in the game. Keep them both busy and prevent the leader from receiving the revive missile by attacking the partner constantly. It will be best if you take out the partner first thus leaving his leader without a way to attack you. Well except for his Rifle. ^_^' The MEDAFORCE will be a must in this fight. || Tournament || ----------------- After completing the 7 stages, a star will appear next to the tournament. Here you'll face random robattlers and some from the TV shows. I'm pretty sure the line up, listed below, is the same for everyone with the Metabee version. You could have also fought them at the newly transformed gray stars. (You might to revisit some of these to get your stats up before entering the tournament.) TIP: By now you should've leveled up enough to get "panels". Panels are used to give your partner orders. May it be "Use MEDAFORCE", "Heal Leader" or "Run Away" these will be crucial in the battles to ahead. After every successful robattle, you should save and then comeback to the tournament. Don't worry, you will continue where you left off. --------------------- Kathy --------------------- Equip your leader with two grappling weapons and your partner with at least a healing medapart. Kathy's leader is a powerhouse using two MegaLasers and a head that can set traps for your grappling weapons. Kathy's partner is a healing machine. Dodge the leader and attack the partner. She'll be easy since she has no weapons. It'll make it easier to destroy the leader too. To beat him, get close, attack then run. If his partner is gone, you'll have nothing to worry about plus the MegaLaser takes a while to fire. --------------------- Charlie --------------------- Equip your best grappling weapons and your partner with the AllRepair head, and two grappling weapons (Flop/LightBlow). Both of Charlie's medabots are missile crazy. Both of their arms and heads can fire missiles. On top of that, they have weapons that can confuse your medabot. Fortunately for you, they are extremely slow. This will make it easier for you to use your grappling weapons. Be sure to surprise them with the MEDAFORCE. NOTE: After winning, receiving experience and a part, you have an option of leaving the tournament. Don't worry, you can leave, save, and return right where you left off. --------------------- Jimmy --------------------- Faster legs might help you keep up with the leader. Be sure to equip your partner with the Flop. With the faster legs, you'll be able to keep up with Jimmy's leader. Focus on the leader because he likes to draw MEDAFORCE while his partner does all to fighting. His partner will be using the NibbleWave (slows you down) and a Rifle. You might need to use the MEDAFORCE to slow the leader down. His partner can get annoying at times. Let him have it if he gets in your way. --------------------- Julie --------------------- Equip your leader with the MegaLaser (it will make the fight go faster) or a grappling weapon. Don't forget to give your partner something to heal you with. The only things to look out for are: their ability to heal and the random weapons that her partner will use. Her partner has the same legs that PepperCat uses in the show, which means she is she very fast. They also like to surround you but with a decent grappling weapon, you can make them pay for invading your personal space. >:) --------------------- Hiro --------------------- Your fastest legs will help, FlameGun, and the Helmet if you have it. Hiro's leader is equipped to the core with fire weapons. His head and arms are fire weapons, which is bad news for you. To make it worse, his partner will try to slow you down to make it easier for him to turn you to toast. Hiro's leader's weakness is the defense of his medaparts. A constant attack with a grappling weapon (Sword) can make short work of his FlameGuns. Keep you distance from both of them with your ranged weapons. --------------------- Jordan --------------------- Make sure your partner has an at least two healing parts. Jordan uses the Helmight and Helmet combo. This time the leader has the Helmights and the partner has the Helmet. You should take out the partner first then the leader. That would be an easy task if his partner didn't have those two MegaLasers equipped. If you do manage to destroy the partner, then this fight won't be a problem. Beware that the leader has the head equipped that sets a trap for grappling medaparts. --------------------- Meg --------------------- Equip whatever you feel comfortable with. This battle is very unpredictable because all of Meg's medabots are equipped with weapons that create random weapons. Attack her with everything you have and watch out if they get anything you haven't seen before. The MEDAFORCE will help in this difficult fight. --------------------- Sean --------------------- A couple of ranged weapons (R: MegaLaser/L: Rifle) should make this fight no problem. Make sure your partner has the Flop and a healing part or two equipped. Both of Sean's medabots are ready for some down and dirty close ranged combat. They both have the TipToe legs (great for grappling), the mighty DonDonPunch equipped along with NinjaSwords. Keep your distance because the DonDonPunch is fatal. If they get too close torch them and run. They are pretty fast though plus the have the ability to revive parts. Another way you could defeat them is by equip some grappling weapons for yourself (R: Sword L: FlameGun) of your own. I beat them using this strategy. ^_^ --------------------- Erika --------------------- Erika's medabots are all about business especially the leader, Brass. She doesn't wait until your other medaparts are gone to take out your head. Her medabots heads have the ability to increase their chance of headshots so beware. You'll know that they are using this ability when they have a rock looking thing over them. Their ranged weapons can be deadly if you stand around too long. Use the MEDAFORCE if needed. You should equip a MegaLaser and have your partner equip with the Flop and a healing medapart. This will be a hard fight. --------------------- Sloan --------------------- Equip your leader with a grappling weapon and equip your partner and yourself faster legs. Both of Sloan's medabots have tank legs equipped. This means that their legs have a lot of defense but are very slow. This is where your faster legs come in. Run circles around them and slash at their medaparts. Just beware of the partner, who will try to destroy your grappling weapons and hit you with his MegaLaser. (The leader has a pair too) --------------------- Spyke --------------------- Grappling weapons are very effective if manage to get close enough. Spyke's leader, KrosserDog, can take you out before you can even get to him. Try to get behind him or if you get knocked down, roll toward him and get some hits in with you grappling weapons. Keep your distance from his partner who has two NinjaSwords. You might have to use the MEDAFORCE on this one. --------------------- Samantha --------------------- PeppperCat likes to run around the stage and send jolts of electricity threw your medabot. Her partner will float threw the air shooting magnetic orbs at you. To prepare for the electrical storm known as PepperCat, you'll need to equip either shooting or grappling weapons. You can try to take her out from a far (R: YourChoice/L: Rifle) or go toe-to-toe with her (R: Sword/L: YourChoice). Don't let them get you in a corner and you might have to use the MEDAFORCE on this one. --------------------- Karin --------------------- This fight is probably the simplest fight in the whole game. Attack the leader, NeutraNurse. She has no attack weapons but she likes to run around a lot and heal her partner. Her partner is fast but you easily out run him if you equip some faster legs. Just attack NutraNurse and this fight will be over soon. --------------------- Koji --------------------- This is it!! It's you versus your archrival Koji. Koji's leader is nothing to worry about but his partner is. He wields two MegaLasers and is not afraid to use them. Stay away from him all together and you'll be all right. --------------------- Henry --------------------- This fight isn't as hard as any of the previous fights but don't expect this one to be a walk in the park either. Henry's leader, WarBandit, is nothing to worry about, which is equipped with two ranged weapons, and neither is his partner who is equipped with two NinjaSwords. Go straight for the leader and this fight will be over soon. --------------------- Victory !!! --------------------- You've just beaten the game!! Pat yourself on the back and enjoy the credits. If you haven't noticed, there is a section under this one. Just watch the credits roll and you'll see. || Rubberobo Gang!! || ---------------------- The Rubberobos are scattered across the world map. Anyway in order to get your prize back, you'll have to defeat the four leaders of the Rubberobos. They are all located at random places but you will still have to fight them in the same order listed below. NOTE: Just because you don't see one of the leaders at one place, doesn't mean that you wont find them in another location after you defeat a previous leader. Otherwise you'll be fighting the no name henchmen forever. ----------------- SquidGuts ----------------- This fight will be a little difficult. Both of SquidGuts medabots have the DonDonPunch equipped, which means a lot of trouble if you get too close. To make it worse the leader is very fast and his partner has the Helmet (he can revive parts) equipped. The MegaLaser can help if you time it right but a grappling weapon will help the most. This is because they have to get close to you anyway so you might as well fight on their level. Never attack them directly unless using the MEDAFORCE. Run around and when you are trapped, attack and repeat. Chances are you will not beat him the first time you fight him. ----------------- GillGirl ----------------- This fight isn't as hard as the one with SquidGuts was. The leader will use random weapons at will and her partner will try to slow you down with electrical attacks. Shoot them down from a far with your ranged weapons. Use this tactic in order to win because you'll never know what they will get. ----------------- ShrimpLips ----------------- ShrimpLips main focus is to have his leader confuse you while; his partner attacks your confused medabot. You'll know you're confused when...um...you lose control of your medabot and you see halo around its head. That is his only attack though. A MegaLaser can make short work of his arms that shoot the confusion attacks. Use a grappling weapon like the PipoHammer just in case his partner tries to get in your face. You might want to take his partner first because he's the only one with a real attack. ----------------- SeaSlug ----------------- THIS IS THE HARDEST FIGHT IN THE GAME!!! SeaSlug's leader is the mighty Megaemperor. Both of the Megaemperor's weapons can take out your parts in one hit. Try to avoid him at all costs until you take out his partner. His partner uses two grappling weapons and has the Helmet to make things worse. A MegaLaser is nice but risky. It's best to have one grappling weapon and a ranged weapon. You'll have to use the MEDAFORCE a few times to win this fight. I beat him by first killing the partner. By then, my partner wasn't even functioning. Go in a corner to build up some MEDAFORCE. If you see the Megaemperor, you're too close to him. Once you have enough MEDAFORCE, get close and hit him with it. You might be lucky enough to take a few parts off or score a headshot. Repeat this until he is destroyed. ||| 5. Thanks, Tha List & The Warning! ||| | Thanks | Thanks to everyone who reads this FAQ!!
