History YMMV / Medabots

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The dub's theme song is definitely one of the more memorable aspects of the series, having a very infectious Peter Gunn-style driving techno beat. It's even used as a battle theme within the show as well.

* CrazyAwesome:

* UnfortunateName: For English speakers, "Ikki", due to the fact that it is pronounced as "icky" in the dub, a slang meaning "Gross". Many a kid chuckled whenever the trailers mentioned lines like "And the winner is... Ikki!" Granted, it's actually pronounced "Ee-Key", but the spelling made ''many'' a person think it was pronounced as "Icky".

* EarWorm: Both the American Opening AND the original Japanese opening could be this for anyone that have heard them.

** Poor Oceana/Hijiki (real model name: Puremermaid). The dub did not help by moving her first appearance (originally the eighth episode) all the way to the filler section... at least ''thirty'' episodes later. Especially after the ShipTease episodes about Metabee/Brass. Cue the fanbase treating her like a rabid whore who wants to steal Metabee from Brass, who is suffering for her "love".

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: Episode 20 has Ikki in a race against time to either get enough points to represent Japan in the world tournament, or save his mother from the Rubberrobo Gang. He manages to save her, but Metabee's too busted up to fight another battle for the LastLousyPoint... guess we'll get a lesson about how you should do the right thing even if you're not rewarded, and about not pushing your friend beyond his limit... but nope, Ikki is a coward for not wanting to fight, [[WhatTheHellHero all his friends heckle him]] and he accepts. [[FlatWhat Say whaaa...?]]

%%** JerkassWoobie: Victor.

* InternetBackdraft: Many ''Medabots'' fans hate ''Spirits'' with a passion. Do not mention ''Spirits'' in a forum, [[ShmuckBait you will regret it forever]].

** The TournamentArc has various side characters cosplaying as Space Medafighter X. Come Samantha's turn, the team wins the round by default due to the opposing team cheating. Samantha proudly proclaims "[[MememticMutation My work here is done,]]" [[Anime/SailorMoon even though she didn't do anything.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Nothing is explained about Metabee's medal from the time before Phantom Renegade dropped it in the river. It was clearly being delivered between parties in a way that suggested grave importance and secrecy and the Rubberrobo Gang saw fit to ''kill the deliveryman'', but no details ever come forth.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Adding {{Fanservice}} to ''Medarot Girls Mission'' didn't really make the fans happy, siNBCe previous entries didn't rely on that.

** ''Medarot Girls Mission'' is a game with a largely female cast [[AudienceShift made for an older audience]]. Some fans felt that wasn't a bad idea on its own, but using ClothingDamage as a game mechanic, among other {{Fanservice}} elements, turned many people away from the game.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: ''Medarot Girls Mission'' suffers from this; to begin with, it wasn't made for children even though [[AudienceShift it was part of a series were relatively kid-friendly]]. That alone might not have done it in, but those who were on board with that were turned off from the game by its {{Fanservice}} elements; mainly, the fact that ClothingDamage is used as a ''game mechanic''. Not to mention those who enjoy works with {{Fanservice}} were likely looking elsewhere for their fix.

* AwesomeMusic:

* SuperlativeDubbing: Arguably, the English dub is one of the best dubs for its time, and for the target audience, as well.

** The Tenryou family in the anime is actually quite different from the games. In the original games, for example, Chidori is rather stern with Ikki, enough to surprise anyone who only knows her through the anime, though in Medarot 4 her personality was changed to match up with the anime version.

** On the [[FetishFuel robot]] side, you have Saintnurse, Oceana, Brass.
