Blackram, known in Japanese as Blackmail (ブラックメイル[1] / ブラックメール[2]), is a DVL-type Medabot that first appeared in the original Medarot game.
Description
Blackram resembles a bipedal black goat with wings, an image that most likely comes from Baphomet. His functional eyes are located inside the mouth part of the design and stylized to look like teeth. He attacks with vicious blows from his large claws.
In the games
Blackram is a bipedal Medabot that uses powerful physical attacks with the "Berserk" skill. In Medarot 1, he used a unique physical attack called "Ghost", but the attack was removed in Medarot 2, and Blackram's parts were changed to use "Hammer" instead.
In Medarot 1, Blackram's parts have the "Sacrifice" attribute, which is more compatible with the Devil Medal. In Medarot 2, its GBA remake, and Medarot R, he still matches with the Devil Medal, but the "Sacrifice" attribute was replaced by the "Destroy" one.
From Medarot 7 onward, Blackram returned having "Ghost" attacks.
Medarot
Blackram is the only Medabot that can use "Ghost" attacks. His attacks are extremely powerful and can pierce multiple parts. Unfortunately, they are also slow and very innacurate. Blackram's head part, Devil Body, has the highest attack power in the game, but can only be used once per Robattle.
Blackram's parts can only be obtained in the post-game by battling the Wolf Man in the mountain village area, who uses a team of 3 Blackram. If the player battles the Wolf Man and brings him the "normal glasses" from the Medabot laboratory, they can fight him again.
Blackram's leg parts can also be obtained by winning the Rubberobo Gang's Robattle Tournament in the shrine area earlier in the game. It is impossible to complete the set on a single playthrough, requiring trading with other game or Medarot Parts Collection.
Medarot 2
Normally, Blackram's parts cannot be obtained in Medarot 2, and instead have to be transferred over from Medarot 1. He was instead replaced by the new DVL-type, Belzelga.
In this game, Blackram's attacks were changed to "Hammer" attacks, but his stats otherwise remain the same.
Medabots (GBA)
If the player Robattles Koji through Medalink, he has 2 Blackrams.
Blackram's Devil Leg part has the best Armor and Defense of all Two-Legged parts.

Medarot 7
He returned having Ghost attacks, and his model number changed to DVL00. He is common in random encounter in the moon, and is also available in the Meda-Gacha DX.
Medarot 8
His legs gained the effect Bloodstain. He can be obtained in the Meda-Gacha.
He also gained a stronger variation named Blackmail X, which has a silver color and open mouth, the eyes being always visible.
Medarot 9
Both arms are now considered Heavy parts, and the legs have a Heavy Limit of 2 to support them.
Medarot S: Unlimited Nova
His parts can only be obtained on limited gacha. He appears as an opponent in the main story (Part 1 Chapter 23).
In the anime
Blackram appeared in the first episode when a gang of Medafighters, The Rockers, were attacking other Medafighters to get their parts. As they had two Blackram as well as Phoenix, they could deal a lot of damage that most Medabots were unable to defend theirselves from.
Spyke bought a Death Bomb part, which was later stolen by The Rockers and then worn by one of their Blackram. However, when they were attacking Erika's Sailor-Multi, Brass, Ikki appeared with his new Metabee, easily defeating The Rockers' Medabots.
In "For Better, For Worse - Part I", a Blackram fought a Digmole in the Citywide Robattle Tournament. It wasn't shown who won that fight.
A flashback from the forgotten World Robattle Cup showed that a Blackram was in the tournament.
Blackram became more prominent in Medabots Spirits, as one of Mystery Medafighter's opponents. One of them appeared in "Mystery Medafighter Unmasked?" as one of Banjo and Redrun's victims as they searched for the Mystery Medafighter.
Blackram is the weakest DVL-type Medabot in the anime, being available for sale, unlike his successors Belzelga (which is a Prototype Medabot - even though the Rubberobo Gang somehow acquired 3 of them) and Redrun (which is a Kilobot).
