The Kabuto (カブト, Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle) Medal is one of the best known medals when it comes to Medabots. Its speciality is Shooting-type Medaparts.
Appearance[]
Like all medals, it is a small hexagonal object. It is often represented with a letter "B" in the top segment. This medal generally has three stages, based around the stages of a beetle. The first stage is the larvae, then the pupa, then an adult flying. Some games also have additional stages or different forms.
In the games[]
The Kabuto Medal is the first Medal obtained by the protagonist in the Kabuto Version of the games, while the Kuwagata Medal is the first from the Kuwagata Version. It is more compatible with Shooting Medaparts.
Medarot[]
Hikaru Agata's dog, Bonaparte, found a Kabuto Medal in the park, which he used on his first Medabot, a Metabee. His Medal is broken by Typhoon after the match against him in the tournament, but it is restored in the ancient Ruins.
In this game the Kabuto Medal has four stages: Larva, pupa, an adult flying, and Metabee.
Medarot 2[]
The Phantom Renegade asked Jouzou to give the Kabuto Medal to Ikki Tenryou, being his first Medal, placed on a Metabee. The Medal's image changes as it gains experience, having five stages: larva, pupa, a young adult on the ground, an adult flying, and the beetle's horn.

In the manga[]
In the Medarot manga, Hikaru Agata's dog, Bonaparte, found a Kabuto Medal in the park, which Hikaru used on his first Medabot, a Metabee. After the tournament match against Typhoon was interrupted, Typhoon ordered Robo-Emperor to attack Hikaru, and Metabee jumped in front of Hikaru to protect him. The attack destroyed part of Metabee's body, including his Medal, and Hikaru went into a coma for some weeks. After recovering and learning of Metabee's condition, Hikaru went to ancient Ruins in hopes that Metabee's Medal could be restored there, where aliens secretly restored the Medal.
Similar to Hikaru, in the Medabots (Medarot 2) manga, Ikki's dog, Salty, found a Kabuto Medal that was used on his first Medabot, a Metabee.
In the anime[]
In the first episode from the Medabots anime, the Rubberobo Gang attempted to steal a Kabuto Medal from a man, but the Phantom Renegade stole it from them and accidently dropped it into a river. The Medal was eventually found by Ikki, who used it for his Metabee. In the beginning of the anime it was on the first stage (larva), evolving to the second stage (adult) after the battle against Robo-Emperor. In the same battle, this particular Medal was revealed to be a Rare Medal, allowing Metabee to use the Medaforce.
Victor's Warbandit and Space Medafighter X's (Hikaru) Arcbeetle have a Kabuto Medal that also happens to be a Rare Medal, with Warbandit's being shown to be on the third stage (flying),[1] while Space Medafighter X's is implied to be on the same stage.[2]
The Medal from Hikaru's Arcbeetle was originally on a Metabee, who had a fierce Robattle against another Rare Medal (Patra's Kingpharaoh) eight years ago, in the finals from the World Robattle Cup, their resonance resulting in the Ten Days of Darkness. To stop the Ten Days of Darkness, Hikaru had to destroy the Kabuto Medal from his friend, taking ten days to build the resolve to do what had to be done. The Medal was later restored, but Hikaru's Metabee lost his original personality and memories, no longer being the same.[2]
Medabots known to possess a common Kabuto Medal include Erika's Brass, Rintaro's Kantaroth, the Tankars from the Medabot Corporation, among others.
The Kabuto Medal was called Beetle Medal in the English dub.

Trivia[]
- Hikaru's Kabuto Medal was damaged in both the games, manga, and anime. In the games and manga it was fully restored by aliens, without any signs of damage, and Metabee remained himself. In the anime, its appearance after the repair and who did the repair is unknown, and Metabee lost his original personality and memories. In the Medarotch Revival Ver. toy, Hikaru's Medal is cracked, the cracks being similar to damage it had in the manga.

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 While Hikaru's Medal was not shown directly, in Waking to a Dream, Hikaru's explanation on how he stopped the Ten Days of Darkness eight years ago showed a stage 3 Kabuto Medal being destroyed, implying that it was the Medal from his Metabee at the time. Hikaru's mention that Arcbeetle's Medal is the same as his Metabee's after being repaired is absent in the English dub. It was first mentioned to be a rare Kabuto Medal in Beetle Mania, and Arcbeetle used the Medaforce in The Mother of All Robattles.
