MetalKabuterimon is a Cyborg Digimon. It possesses power over Thunder which bears the might of AncientBeetlemon. It has a cautious and prudent personality because it was discovered in a defense system created in reference to the Scarab treasure chamber in the deepest part of a pyramid. During battle, it patiently serves as a shield for its comrades using its sturdy armor and endures the opponent's attacks, but if it reaches its critical point, it will go on an intense offensive with all of its gunports until even the opponent's form is reduced to nothing. Because its heavy weight lowers its mobility, it is basically the one in charge of logistical support. However, in close-range battles, it obliterates the opponent with its various armaments.[5]

- Electron Cannon (Field Destroyer): Fires an extremely high-speed positron laser from the gun turret on its head.
- Gigantic Impact: Rams the enemy while rushing at full speed.
