NEW RULE: NO MORE MEDABOTS TALK, 1 STRIKE RULE yada yada, I made the thread so suck it losers

They're not back and they don't have cursing, blood nor partial nudity. They are made of metal and are more dangerous than ever though!

It's about kids who have robots and fight. They're a game series by Natsume and also adapted into anime. Let's get all the Medabot discussion here guys!

Here's all you need to know about medabots condensed in images

I forgot this show existed. I watched the first few episodes of this as a kid then went back to watching Pokemon/Digimon.

It's grown up Ikki and Arika.

Also, Rubber Robos never age:

Chapter 2 Preview:


Saikyo V-JUMP Demo Impressions:

►Shoot and Snipe are now grouped into a single “Ranged” skill. Likewise, Strike and Berserk are grouped together as “Physical”. The grouped skills are levelled up at the same time.
►Battles feel twice as fast. Charge/cooldown happens quickly and the overall tempo is nice. (However, since it’s so fast it might take some getting used to.)
►Power of attacks seems to have increased; Bluesdog’s head rifle does around 140 damage.
►Bluesdog’s head cannon attack animation has it firing from a gun in its chest, like Cyandog in the manga.
►Assassin attacks do around 160 damage with a Physical stat of 25. In exchange for having a 100% chance of critical, the part now self destructs unless it destroys an enemy part. (?)
►Break’s mechanics are somehow different, and its animation looks cool.
►A-Buraage’s arms are now fire (shown as a blue will o’ wisp) and its head is a trap.
►Enemy traps show up as a ? until triggered, so you can’t tell what kind of trap is placed.
►Rouge Katze uses shooting thunder attacks, and stop still prevents movement/defending/dodging like before.
►There’s a charge beam attack, where you charge up energy at the starting line and unleash it all at once.
►Snipe attack animations show the Medarot aiming with a crosshair before attacking. (Shown in the trailer)
►Guard/Defense actions don’t have animations, instead showing up as an icon on the bottom screen.
►”Combos” – Lets you link up to 3 part actions that use skills that match the medal, done by pressing Y when selecting a part. The combo can’t include guard/defending actions but you can use stuff like scan.
►It no longer cancels the attack if the target Medarot is destroyed, instead it chooses another target.
►Tornado now temporarily makes the target unable to move (and possibly does other things).
►Peppercat’s head part now uses “Stealth”.
►Matching sets of parts have unique poses on the parts select screen.
►Pressing select in a battle gives you the option to surrender. (hasn’t been a feature since the first game.)
►Something about combo attacks if multiple Medarots arrive at the attacking line at the same time.
►Tart’s Doctor Study is named “Docta” like in the manga.
►The AR card reader is in an option when you start the game up, so you can’t use it unless you have the game?
►The staff are interested in having tournaments for the game if possible.
►They’re taking the lessons learned from DS and putting lots of effort into the story.
