Strategy/Usage

Mecha-Bun is supposed to be a speedy tank that can rush in and deliver its damage while tanking some hits before dying. Unfortunately, it has low overall stats, and thus is only useful at all if hypermaxed. Considering its low overall range and health, it's safe to say in almost all late-game scenarios, Mecha-Bun will not last long enough in battle to contribute to anything that would be worth its cost. There are better options for rushers, most notably Awakened Bahamut Cat, as Bahamut has far more DPS and speed and slightly higher range.

In the best of all cases, Mecha-Bun is okay at rushing in and beating early 4-Crown Stories of Legend sub-chapters, or at least being a source of DPS. However, this assumes you do not have any better sources of DPS to work with, and you most certainly will, as the spammability of cats like Cyborg Cat and Cameraman Cat purely outclass Mecha-Bun. Since 4-Crown stages limit the use of most Rusher-class Cats, you can use Mecha-Bun as a secondary rusher, as it is the only other one aside from Awakened Bahamut Cat, Capsule Cat, Courier Cat and a few others.

True Form

Ultimate Mecha-Bun gains the Strong Against ability vs. Relics, higher health and attack power, and a slightly longer attack rate. Unfortunately, aside from usage against Relics, none of this increases its base stats enough to matter, so you should not unlock it unless you are especially struggling against Relics- specifically Dogumaru, Lowkey, or potentially Oldhorn, as it can rush in and deal decent burst damage before imminent death, synergizing with its fast cooldown. Other anti-Relic units like Awakened Mina, Slapstick Cats, and Awakened Ururun make a better use of Elder Catfruit, meaning that unlocking Ultimate Mecha-Bun should not be a priority until Primitive Souls is reached and has to be done in multiple difficulties; provided if you do not have units suitable for this stage.

Trivia

• Mecha-Bun is the only Stories of Legend drop unit whose Normal Form doesn't have a preview shown when entering Legend Stages. It is also one of the only three Legend Cats whose True Form has a preview, other than Valkyrie Cat and Bahamut Cat.
  • Even though Mecha-Bun is supposed to come as a surprise, the player can spoil its name for themselves through the Buns of Steel Meow Medal's description, which becomes visible after unlocking Miyamoku Musashi.
• It and Idi:N are the only Stories of Legend drop units to have a 100% drop rate.
• Its Normal Form's Japanese description is one of the few to directly mention a sub-chapter by name. The others are the Colossus Enemies' descriptions, which also refer to the Laboratory of Relics, and True Superfeline's description, which mentions Humanity Catified.
• Due to the presence of extra frames in both the Normal and True Forms' attack animations, Mecha Bun's Evolved Form is the only one with the same exact attack frequency as Teacher Bun Bun.
• Bun Bun Monger Prototype may have foreshadowed or simply been early designs of Mecha-Bun and its forms, given that they were released approximately 8 months before Version 7.0, in Minna de Nyanko Daisensou.
  • The "ancient prototype schematics" mentioned in both the English and Japanese descriptions may even be a reference to Bun Bun Monger Prototype.
