[@edgeout] I'm pretty sure that independence stemmed less from the rare medal and more Metabee being kind of a giant asshole. Most of the other characters were best friends with their medabots, so it's understandable why they'd be more loyal and willing to take orders. I mean, Warbandit had a rare medal and he had pretty much zero personality and just followed orders to the letter.

That's not true. A medarot's personality comes from the medal, not the body parts, hence your first part of the argument is not sound. Secondly, Ikki clearly states in the first episode of the anime that "Medarots should obey their master". However Metabee gets angry and shoots bullets at Ikki. You could see the shop keeper ask himself is the "rare medal" inside Medabee that makes him strong? However he turns aside after seeing the rebellious robot and says, "It's just a prototype." Inferring that Medabee's medal had a personality resembling closer to human that was taken out from the other robots. That, I would argue is independence, and the ability to act out on its own.

Furthermore it's understandable why the Medabot company would have taken out "independence" or the abillity to rebel out of their newer medals - it would be a nuisance to the Medafighters. That's why I insisted on having a "rare medal". Anyone arguing why, my kid shouldn't have the rare medal is not going to change what it did for Medabee's personality.

However, if we assume we are playing a version based off the game, we don't need to worry about that. I can give my robot partner, all the freedom s/he wants. I just wanted to give a reason for an independent nature of my kid's robot. 

Lastly to put the argument "it is safely locked up" down. Look at the anime and how "lucky" Ikki got. HE literally thought the rare medal was 500yen. It doesn't really make sense as to how he found the "rare medal" as well. Hence my argument for the kid's dad giving his child a "rare medal" is more reasonable than a happy coincidence, which I can also make up for my kid.

Either way, since you guys, for one reason or another, strongly don't want the incorporation of rare medals whether out of fear or jealousy, I won't incorporate it. This is the LAST TIME I am going to mention "rare medal". I'm tired of arguing for an RP that hasn't even started yet. I suggest you guys do the same, and focus on your own characters. The thread is already made.
