Card Trivia

 This monster is based on a Japanese rhinoceros beetle
This card and Evolzar Solda are the first Rank 6 Xyz Monsters that are legal for tournament play.
Queen Nereia the Silvercrown is also Rank 6, but is Illegal.
This monster's armor is the same colors as Steelswarm Roach: gold and black. Coincidentally, they're also both Xyz Monsters and resemble insects.
This monster may have been based off of Kabuterios from the Metal Hero series B-Fighter Kabuto (known in America as Roboborg from the TV series Big Bad Beetleborgs Metallix.)
To make a more accurate comparison, this monster's golden appearance may be based of the character Chromium Gold Borg from the TV show Beetleborg Metalix whom is also based off of a Kabuto Beetle.
This monster is similar to Kamen Rider Kabuto; they're both dubbed the strongest of their groups, and they have a similar theme.
This card's second effect is similar to Scrap Dragon, except that the cards must be face-up and they are sent to the Graveyard without being destroyed.
Like Scrap Dragon, this card is meant to use members of its archetype as the fuel for its effect because several other helpful effects are triggered by sending the right card to the Graveyard (in this case equipped Inzektors).
Ironically, despite of being a boss card of the Inzektor archetype, this card's own effect actually makes it weaker ATK-wise than the monster equipped to it, but ONLY if the monster equipped to Exa-Beetle has ATK higher than 2000. In that case, the ATK of Exa-Beetle itself can never be higher than the monster equipped to it, due to Exa-Beetle gaining only half the ATK of the monster equipped to it. For example, if a 3000 ATK monster is equipped to Exa-Beetle, then the total ATK of Exa-Beetle would be only 2500, which is 1500 (half of that monster's ATK) + 1000 (the original ATK of Exa-Beetle).
The only time Exa-Beetle can have higher ATK than the monster equipped to it is if that monster has less than 2000 ATK, and even then the ATK of Exa-Beetle will not exceed 2000 (which is often considered as quite weak for a boss card). An example is if a 1000 ATK monster is equipped to Exa-Beetle, then the ATK of Exa-Beetle becomes 1500, which is 500 (half of that monster's ATK) + 1000 (the Original ATK ofExa-Beetle). If a monster with 2000 ATK is equipped, then the ATK of Exa-Beetle will becomes 2000 (1000 + 1000), which is the same amount of ATK (no decrease, but no increase either).
However, fitting the Inzektor pattern of equipping to other Inzektor monsters, it is possible that this card is meant to be equipped with another Inzektor, specifically one of the three Gigas, as those two boost Exa-Beetle to very high stats (3600 ATK minimum for Giga-Mantis, 3000 ATK minimum and piercing for Giga-Cricket, or 3900 DEF minimum for Giga-Weevil), fitting for the boss of the archetype.
The horn of Inzektor Exa-Beetle may indicate its own effect to equip itself with a monster when Xyz Summoned.
For some reason, the Spanish name for this card is the same as Inzektor Exa-Stags but in inverse order: Exa-Escarabajo Inzektor for Exa-Beetle and Inzektor Exa-Escarabajo for Exa-Stag.
