KBT-6: Arcbeetle Dash

 More Medabots, More Power!

Arcbeetle was already cool, but the Dash model takes it over the top. I love all the gunbarrels (or jet thrusters) sticking out from every angle. You'd think it would look unbalanced, with that big spike on its chest, but the head spike works with the bigass pauldrons to balance it out, suggesting a rocketship with legs rather than a humanoid with a big nose.

And rocketship, indeed! it transforms, revealing the hercules beetle inspiration (if it wasn't already obvious). I wanna play a shmup as this thing.

I also have to say the color scheme is good, keeping the parts in solid blocks helps reduce the visual noise and keeps the design from looking too messy. Great work all around, gotta be one of my favorite Medabots.

 

Overall: 10/10

  1. So I know regular arcbeetle. Is this like a mega digivolution? What's the deal with this in medabots?

    Also:

    I had never seen it, so there's that.

    1. it's just the new model of Arcbeetle as seen in the sequel anime Medabots Spirits. More like a Regional Variant than an evolution.
