| Summary: |
The series centers around Medabots, artificially intelligent robots, whose purpose is to serve humans. Later in the series, Medabots are found to be actually thousands of years old; remnants of an ancient civilization who called themselves Medalorians. The Medalorians were obsessed with war, and to become more effective warriors they fastened metal armor to themselves. However, their wars decimated the civilization, and the survivors coded their memories onto hexagonial pieces of metal. These, "Medals", cloned and mass produced by the Medabot Corporation (a corporation founded by Dr. Aki), are the Medabot equivalent of a brain and soul. The original medals, referred to as "rare" medals, are kept in storage because of the extreme power they have.
The series begins with a ten year old boy named Ikki Tenyrō, who wants to become a champion of the World Robattle Tournament. However, Ikki is unable to afford a Medabot, and his parents refuse to buy him one. However, he manages to get enough money to buy an outdated model, and, with a bit of luck, he finds a medal in a river. Ikki quickly inserts it into the Medabot he purchased named Metabee. The only problem is that the Medal he found gives Metabee a severe attitude problem (a problem rarely seen in a Medabot), which leads Ikki to think he is defective. However, this theory is proven wrong later in the series, as it is revealed that Metabee actually has a "rare" medal.
The rare medals, as mentioned earlier, were kept secret by the Medabot Corporation, as very little was known about them. However, a Medabot with a rare medal would be able to call upon an attack called the "Medaforce". In the manga, the Medaforce is a form of medal mind control, as explained by Dr. Aki in the third graphic novel of Medabots. In the cartoon however, it is shown as a way of increasing the power of the Medabot's special skill. As well as kill other bots. |

Like others before me, I also watched Metabots growing up as a kid. There's something to be said about reliving your childhood. Back then you would wake up early on a Saturday morning because you WANTED to. I even went so far as to buy the Metabee and Mega Emperor figurines! (My mother never did understand my obsessions.) But nostalgia aside, Metabots is a unique anime that keeps you entertained simply on battles and comedy alone. No needless drama or romance. And if you've watched as much anime as I have, you catch a lot of Japanese references ( read more)

I watched this everyday before i went to school! i feel soo nostalgisc right now. This is a must watch!
It influenciated a hole generation like Dragon-ball, Naruto, Bleach, Runrunoi kenshin, Samurai7, One piece, evangelion, and others.
It's nothing of the kinds of any of the others i named before, it has its unique pros and cons.
Watch it
