Title (English) Medabot

Title (Japanese) Medalot Damashii

Advertising
Fantasy Novel

Notes ="Medarot Spirits, Techno-Robot Battle Adventure." 48+ episodes

Classification -

Synopsis In 2222, children use their robot toys to fight in tournaments. The hero finds a super "medal" or processor, fits it in an old robot, wins battles.

Review Purely an excuse to have robot battles, (and sell robot toy merchandise). Based on a 1977 game, this is an obvious cash-in on "Pokemon".
BTW, if you see the real-life robot battles in "Techno Games 2002" (much better than the dimwitted real-life "Robot Wars" and including a multi-legged robot that can run 30 metres in 4.2secs, robots playing football, and a shark robot that swims underwater), you won't feel any need to watch this second-rate fantasy animation. (GC)
I think that I posted a few comments on "Medaroboto" a year or so ago - probably buried in one of my "new anime" posts. I watched the first couple of episodes - it's a fairly standard robo-toy series. The gimmick here is that the fighting toy robots transform from medals. IIRC, they even took the time during each episode to carefully list the features and distinguishing marks of each robot, so the viewer could pick the right one off of the toy store shelves. There was no attempt to pretend that the series was anything but a set of extended commercials for toys.
It definitely wasn't my "cup of tea", but those folks who like kids toy-based shows may well like this one too.
