The Rockers (ロッカーズ) were a group of Medafighters who appeared in the Medabots anime.
Overview[]
A trio of Medafighters, the Rockers were remarkable for being the first opponent Ikki ever fought. They fought against weaker Medafighters, taking them on with three powerful Medabots: one Phoenix who could burn its opponent's Medaparts, and two Blackrams who were strong enough to take down easily a single opponent.

They pressured children to take them into submission Robattles in 3 vs 1 fights, taking their Medaparts afterwards. Spyke bought a Bombarder Medapart, which was shortly after claimed by The Rockers (after they won a Robattle against Spyke) and equipped it to one of their Blackrams, to Samantha's annoyance. Seeking to avenge her underling's defeat, she ultimately defected to The Rockers, in an attempt to join the "winning team".
Though they tried unsuccessfuly to force Erika to Robattle, Ikki arrived in the nick of time, challenging them to a Robattle using his newly purchased KBT type Metabee. Taking on their Phoenix and Blackrams, Ikki and Metabee nevertheless defeated them in their first Robattle ever.

After their crushing defeat, the Rockers dissapeared for a while. And were not seen again until they attempted to make a comeback after re-naming themselves the Metalheads in the episode Heavy Medal. Spyke's Cyandog, who at that point had run away from home, joined the band. He was nicknamed C-Dawg, taking over the role as leader for a little while, until Spyke came back and made amends. The Rockers, reluctant to let their newfound member leave quietly, were silenced with a blast from Metabee's Medaforce.
The Rockers also appeared with the crowd that cheered Ikki and Metabee in Metabee's Last Stand, being seen briefly in front of Mrs. Pimply and the Ankle Biters.
Trivia[]
- In the Japanese version, the yellow-haired rocker has the number 666 on his head. It was removed in the localization.
- While not named individually in the episodes they appeared, they were named in the voice cast from the Japanese version of the episode Heavy Medal. The red haired leader is named Kikuchiyo (菊千代), the blue haired rocker is TESSHI, and the blonde rocker is Ōmen (オーメン).
- The Rockers renaming themselves as Metalheads only happened in the dub. They still called themselves the Rockers in the original version.
