(Medabots: The Complete First Season was provided to me by Special Ops Media for the purpose of review.)

Enter the world of Medabots, where kids have the ultimate power — and supercharged robots. Fueled with artificial intelligence and a specialized arsenal of high-powered weapons, the Medabots compete against each other in exciting Robattles, with the winners acquiring Medaparts from the defeated Medabot. But more than anything else, these challenges are about courage and mind power, where the soul of the Medafighter and Medabot combine to emerge victorious.

The kids never watched Medabots on TV, but it looked like something they would be interested in, so I said we would review the first season DVDs. Medabots: The Complete First Season contains 26 half-hour episodes on four discs. The show is basically another attempt to duplicate the success of Pokemon, with the kids training Medabots instead of Pokemon. Since the boys LOVE Pokemon, they are loving Medabots.

Noah’s review: “Medabots is so, so, so cool. It’s about these kids who get these pet robots and train them to fight each other. Five stars.”

Jonathan’s review: “I think it’s great - five stars!”

Josiah’s review: “It’s cool. I like how powerful they are. I like what they look like. I like their attacks. My favorite Medabot is Spidar. Five hundred stars!”
