Compared to Japanese voice actors, their acting skills are vastly lacking.

medabee is basicly a kid friendly version of bender, with guns and rockests and lasers built into him XD
Lisa Twilight agreed plus he sounds similar to him as well
lol I wished he said bite my shine metal ass
and blackjack and hookers in fact forget the kid friendly
@@windwaker0rules fun fact medabee was voiced by a black guy
Kiss my shiny yellow behind icky.... LoL
lmao this is why I love UA-cam. Someone took the time to make an hour long compilation of Medabots
And it took me forever. I still missed a few scenes, which is a shame.
@yumake roi shut up
Not only Metabots, but the best thing of Metabots… Metabee!
Whatever made this series end? It had a great dub, I remember that sequel series with the kilobots was not good though.
The internet can be a cruel place. But it can also be an amazing place.
6:34
"What are you doing here?"
Metabee: *Chilling.*
Medabee's English voice actor really made this character memorable for me. Seriously legendary
"I'll show THEM the meaning of de-feat, and de-hand, and de-face."
What a personality English meta-bee had. Literally gold from my childhood. I’m glad I can come back to this as an adult and appreciate him so much more.
The Spanish Latin dub is awesome too.
Metabee’s Japanese VA is none other than Naruto!
"I'll show them agony of DA FEET (defeat). And the hands and the face." Medabots has the funniest, pun-filled dialogue of any anime I have ever come across. And then there's Medabee's voice actor...BRUH!!

Chidori is a total saint.
@@Savagewolver God bless her 🙏🏾
I always loved that sound Metabee makes when he's angry and exasperated
46:26 was my favorite when they were shocked about who was in second, “Ikki call the cops we’ve been ROBBED!”
Unfortunate implications aside I loved this voice actor. He did such a good job making Metabee memorable! Joseph Motiki is the man!
Yeah, metabee sounds pretty good. Can't say the same for the rest.
@@mr.aizawa5257 Most disappointing voice IMO is Sumilidon. It just does NOT fit.

Metabee's voice makes me think of Jazz from Transformers with an attitude, and I love it. He's by far my favorite character in the series.
so metabee is just if Ash's charizard could speak
the guy voicing Metabee is having the time of his life!
Metabee.. if Bumblebee and Bender fused and was made kid-friendy
*Metabee:* Bite my shiny metal ass.
*Ikki:* It doesn't look so shiny to me.
*Metabee:* Shinier than yours meat bag.

You'd think they be smart enough not to piss off the robot armed with machine gun arms and seeker missiles
Me encanta este anime
But clearly they’re not.
32:10
Ikki: I'M NOT THE PHANTOM!
...Not yet, anyways.
Man, i love robots with lots of personalities like seen here.
I love Metabee's "Ghi-ghi ghi-ghi-ghi-ghi!"
Medabee for smash
He did start as part of a gameboy game so it's pheasable.
Alternate costume would be Rokusho... but wait , wouldn't it be better if Rokusho is its own character ?
Metabee vs Robonyan vs Golurk. Let it rip! Bakugan go!
Everyone’s here!
Challenger approaching!
Cubix, Robots for Everyone!
XLpug OMG I WATCHED THAT SHOW
In the original Japanese version Medarot, Metabee actually drops the F bomb in the first episode.
Edgy Robot Naruto is Edgy.
I always thought it was funny that metabee had a black guy voice. When I was a kid I was always like “we’re in the cartooooons!!!”
Damn i forgot all about Medabots, i loved Metabee as a kid holy crap, this brings me back
Ah...my childhood.❤
Grew up with this, Zoids & Megaman NT Warriors.
And now they're all together in the Medabots mobile game in Japan

I like how meta bee stands up for himself to learn how to do things his way he's pretty awesome! 👍.
That watermelon scene makes things stranger when you realize that Metabee's VA is a Black Canadian.
Really!? Who!?
Wait, Metabee is a Canadian?!?
Well, his Voice actor is.
Nobody yup
Okay but how the fuck does he actually eat it?
Dang metabee does not care of the laws of robotics.
They're more like suggestions
“If you don’t watch it this is going to end in marriage”😂😂😂
Metabee : He was not programmed to give a fuck.
I just love Metabee Voice

"It's time...to kiss ur bot goodbye!!"
MEDAFORCE!!!
I seriously thought he says “Butt” when he first said it
Ah, how I miss watching anime with BOTH parents present. Good times!
32:05 When you so skilled, you and your Medabot can robattle in your sleep.
Fun fact...if it wasnt obvious.
Metabee is voiced by Joseph Motiki the same voice for Rocky Canyon from Rescue Heroes.
He Also voiced Shadow, Hunter Steele's partner, in *Spider Riders*

The animation is surprisingly good.
Well it is by the guys who later form Studio Trigger
Yeah. The artstyle may not be to everyone's tastes, but one trade off to that is they have more time for between frames
Metabee is one of my favorite metabots. I just love his sense of humor. But he's got one heck of a mouth I give him that! 🤣🤣🤣
9:30 - 9:40 Pure gold
The rap ad libs are fire

Medabots, a great show and a product of it's time.
Kinda wish they would bring this back.
Natsume still makes Medabots games, been doing so since 1997.
Remember watching this show as a kid, forgot that it existed until now, surprisingly funny
I think Metabee is a Kid friendly version of Bender
Basically
Always was. Always was.
Metabee was the inspiration for Bender
That would be absolutely hilarious to have the voice actors of metabee and Bender having a conversation
In the og Japanese he swears
And did some graphic stuff
Metabee is like bumblebee who can physically talk
G1 and Animated Bumblebee could talk
When I first know about this show I expected Metabee to have a child's voice
37:08 Too good of a burn. Damn...
I Like This 1 Hour Compilation Of Metabee's Best Moments In MEDAROT. I Also Got A Figure Of Him.
Whhhhyyyy is this show not streaming??! This is a hidden gem
All the episodes are available on UA-cam
MAN I LOVE THE DUB, ESPECIALLY METABEE AND IKKI
This was not a bad anime. I can see them rebooting it. Though I'd say keep metabee's concept
It's still a thing I'm Japan
And the original writer guy whoever it is. Denied the idea of a reboot.
@@FewNewReasonss good, it would be nice for one but now a days reboots sucks
@@Alexander-wh8jd Except DuckTales ; that one is pretty good

A big throwback in my life!!!
Goo ol' nostalgie, And the art style and metabee being angry is funny 😂
0:02 I thought almost that Ikki was sayin you piece a Sh*t 🤣
This show is very rare i glab you keeping this show alive
I thought I didn't like anime any longer, but I still fucking love this. Anime changed, not me
Yeah, remember when anime was actually telling a story? Now all it is, is fanservice.
Metabee is one cool bot and he kinda reminds me of a fusion of Digmon and Flamdramon with a wicked attitude
sentaimaster100 flamedramon with a hint of bender from futurama
thank you so much. i loved metabee. english dub is so funny
Dude as a kid my two loves were my N64/PSOne, digimon, and this anime!
My childhood was awesome
Ikkis Mom is a scarily effective evil genius!
Every time metabee makes a wise crack i imagine eddy Murphy behind the Mic
god this brings back memories
