According to a press release, one segment on YTV's old "Vortex" programming block had the host go to Japan to interview Medabot's creator, Horuma Rin! (Jury's out on whether or not "National hero" is a smidge overselling it) Unfortunately, the segment has yet to be found.

Relevant text: "Throughout the programming event, Vortex host Stephanie reveals the latest in Medabots. In addition, fans will not want to miss an interview with Manga artist, Horuma Rin, the creator of the Medabots characters and one of Japan's national heroes. Zone host, Sugar, tracked him down while in Japan last fall learning all about animé. During the segments he chats about Medabots' popularity around the world."

With Survivors being the first Medabots game released in English since 2003, several classic Medabots models are getting new English names. Some of the weirder/funnier/most-perplexing ones include: Blazermate>Blazerpal Noel>Natalis Roll Beauty>Spiralox Dear Stage> Dear Blue

A Medabots fan has gone through the work of DeepL-ing the story script of Medarot 9 and translating it into englishfor convenience. A machine-translated TL patch is not ideal and the author is fully aware of it. If anyone is interested in helping out do reply and we'll see what we can set up.

Probably the last big thing for #medabots 3 - the localized version of the patch (sans audio). Lots of work went into this from a lot of people, so hope you all enjoy! I need to find an alternative to RHDN but, for now, it'd be helpful if people could share this around. github.com/Medabots/med...
