The main thing I'm sure about is that 30 seconds into the fight, Rikku switches sides and ganks the obvious machina Metabee. Which should be successful, since he doesn't know she's turning traitor.

How's Metabee's durability?

Pretty tanky. Medabots fight each other using lasers, bullets, missiles, etc. and generally neither side can oneshot each other. The way the combat works in those games, you generally have to do damage part by part (there's four parts - left arm, right arm, torso/head, and legs) and chew through most of a medabot to disable it. Blowing up the head causes function to cease, but the rest doesn't slow them down much.

Also, with regards to the 'Rikku ganks metabee' angle, the problem is that she's literally not going to be in range for it. Look at her items and dresspheres - Thief and Samurai are both melee for exactly this reason. Her setup encourages to go into the fray. The idea that she's going to drop everything when she switches sides, run to Metabee, and try to use Steal on him is silly because there's more obvious targets in reach.
