General

  • For North American viewers, the first time you heard the trailers on TV probably may have given you a chuckle, because of Ikki's name, making some people think "And the winner is... Icky!"
  • Samantha's English dubbed voice sounds like a heavy smoker despite her character being obviously a kid.

Episode 2: Return of the Screws

  • Ikki and Metabee at the start of this episode, setting the tone for their relationship.
    Ikki: Metabee, why are you reading the funny pages?
    Metabee: Cuz, your dad got the sports.
    Ikki: Okay wise guy, let's get this straight: you're my Medabot, I'm your Medafighter. You don't do anything unless I say so.
    Metabee: I don't know what's making the bigger stink here, you or your feet.
    Ikki: Why, why you...
  • The principal trying to start a medabattle with the Screws.

Episode 12: Ban All Medabots

  • At the end of the episode, the PTO mothers are so moved by what they witnessed with the Medabots protecting their kids and the school from the Rubber Robo Gang that when they turn to see what Mrs. Pimply has to say about it, she's haranguing Seaslug, demanding compensation for her anti-aging wrinkle cream. This quickly draws their attention to the real reason why Mrs. Pimply mustered them into their little Medabot witch hunt to begin with...
    PTO Mother 1: Excuse us, Mrs. Pimply?
    PTO Mother 2: What's going on here?
    Mrs. Pimply: Well, you see...Their Medabots ran over my anti-aging wrinkle cream last week, so I just...
    PTO Mother 3: You're anti-aging wrinkle cream?!
    PTO Mother 4: That's what this whole thing was about?!
    PTO Mother 5: You got us into this Medabot witch hunt because you wanted younger, softer looking skin?!?!
    (All their glasses momentarily flash with light to show their Tranquil Fury over learning the truth)
    Mrs. Pimply: Uh, don't forget healthier!
    PTO Mothers: GET HER!!!
    Mrs. Pimply: NO!! NOT THE FACE!! ANYTHING BUT THE FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!
    (Ikki, Arika, the Screws, the Principal, the other students, and their Medabots all stare in total and complete dumbfounded shock)
    Ikki: What the...?
    Metabee: Seeing all the trouble it caused, I say we ban anti-aging wrinkle cream.
    (Some distance behind them, Seaslug is still white and numb with shock after Mrs. Pimply thrashed him earlier, while Gillgirl, Shrimplips, and Squidguts lay on the ground defeated once more)
    Mr. Referee: Will Mrs. Pimply ever have softer, younger looking skin? (Mrs. Pimply: NO!!) Tune in next time on Medabots. (Mrs. Pimply: NOT THE FACE!!)

Episode 13: Meet your Meda-Maker

  • In the Episode's Robattle, Spidar of The Rubber Robos has Metabee webbed up and is ordered to finish him off by Sea Slug. Only for Gill Girl to tell him she forgot to install his attack parts as she didn't know Spidar was going to battle. Everyone, including Spidar and Metabee who's tied up still can only sweat drop.

Episode 17: Use The Medaforce

  • After learning that Dr. Aki didn't kill Professor Hushi after all, Karin says out loud that she can tell the police not to arrest her uncle, much to his shock.

Episode 18: Fifteen Minutes of Shame

  • Koji showed Karin the rankings of the top ten Medafighters in Japan, with the intention of boasting to her that he's Number Two on the list. Karin took a look at the list and praised Ikki instead (Who was ranked third), triggering a cartoonish dismayed reaction from Koji.
  • The entire moment when Ikki let fame go into his head, resulting in him getting defeated by Samantha in a robattle, who by then was firmly established Goldfish Poop Gang status - in front of the public who he was boasting to!

Episode 22: Dude Where's My Ma?

  • Karin reads a note in one episode that's from Ikki's mother assuring him she's fine and everything but then as Karin reads on the note reveals the writer of this note is not Ikki's actual mother. For a moment, everyone is confused on just who Chidori really is if she's not Ikki's mother. But then Karin keeps reading and it's revealed it was Seaslug writing the letter the whole time, letting him know he's kidnapped her.

Episode 26: The Mother Of All Robattles

  • When Ikki and Metabee try to stop that giant robot from devastating the city (before the tournament)....
    Metabee: Umm.... Ikki, now that we got on this thing, how do we stop it?
    Ikki : Um, I have no idea. I didn't think of anything.
    Metabee: You WHAT!? Oh, that's just great, Ikki. Real smooth.
    • Even better, they eventually do defeat the giant medabot (by ejecting its medal, naturally) but get grief from Mr. Referee for doing it because it was technically a Robattle and physcialy tampering with an opponent's Medabot is a foul. It even comes up in the post episode Robattle recap
    Mr. Referee: In today's Robattle, Ikki and Metabee defeated Gaianko by ejecting its medal— which is a foul, but they did save the world, so I'll let it slide.

Episode 42: The French Deception

  • Karin blowing up the security door at the tournament while Koji is standing there within the explosion. What's funnier is that the explosion is pretty silent.
  • The French team blurt out their stealing plans...in the World Tournament arena...within Mr.Judge's earshot. When Mr.Judge asks if he heard the verb "stealing", they realize they're up shit creek with no paddle.

Episode 43: Space Medaballerina X

  • Every moment of Ikki and Koji training with Samanthanote ; each training session has at least one ballet move/formation instead of an actual attack...which all three Medabotsnote  execute perfectly. For bonus, Metabee and Sumilodon seem just as dumbfounded as their medafighters as to how THEY'RE just as good as it as Peppercat.
Episode 44: Swede and Sour

Episode 45: Future's Past

  • Just as Ikki is about to watch The Robattle Tournament from 8 years ago, the tape that has it reccorded has something else recorded...
    Announcer from 8 years ago: Disaster has struck the World Robattle Cup, ladies and gentlemen! We now take you live to-
    (tape cuts to 'Mr Garden')
    Host: Today on 'Mr Garden', we'll learn how to teach our carrots to speak Spanish.

Episode 47: A Date With Destiny

  • A conversation between Victor and Gillgirl during the Tournament Arc after Victor advances to the semi-finals.
    Gillgirl: So, you've made it to the semi-final round, without breaking a single sweat I might add. Very impressive.
    Victor: Listen, if I wanted praise, I'd read my fan mail.

Episode 65: The Bee Rescue The Honey

  • Ginkai falls afoul of the Kilobots Crippling Overspecialization in Medabot Spirits, amusingly enough, when he discovers Kilobots are worthless for all things non-violent. After chasing Metabee and Honey onto a big-rig with Unitrix, Ginkai ends up in the back of the truck just in time for the fighting bots to accidentally activate the truck's auto-drive. Desperately trying to save himself as the truck moves out onto the freeway, Ginkai repeatedly demands Unitrix cease fighting with Metabee and stop the truck, only to be informed Unitrix has no "Stop the Truck" attack.
