Appearances
Digimon Adventure
Mega Kabuterimon first debuted when Izzy and Kabuterimon faced Vademon. Izzy's pondering on how to get out of the situation caused his crest to glow and Kabuterimon to Digivolve into MegaKabuterimon, who managed to defeat Vademon. MegaKabuterimon was involved in several battles with Myotismon's henchmen and was involved in the final battle with the villain himself, where he took him head on himself before failing like MetalGreymon and WereGarurumon. MegaKabuterimon was also a needed ally in the fight against the Dark Masters and Apocalymon.
Our War Game
Infermon attacked Kabuterimon before he could finish Digivolving to MegaKabuterimon. Only a half a second was its cameo. While MetalGreymon had about 2 seconds.
Digimon Adventure 02
When Izzy used the crest power to free the Sovereigns, Tentomon lost the power to become MegaKabuterimon. That was until three years later, on Christmas Day, Tentomon and the other old generation Digimon had that power restored to them by one of the DigiCores of Azulongmon. MegaKabuterimon, with Angewomon and their human partners, went to Hong Kong to help the Asian DigiDestined. But during the fight against SkullSatamon of the Daemon Corps, MegaKabuterimon, after he and the other Ultimates were defeated, regressed due to the strain of their stay in the real world for so long. Tentomon sacrificed his power again to energise Imperialdramon, allowing him to Mode Change to his Fighter Mode.
