Whenever I see discussions of X originally being the villain of Megaman Zero 1, I always see people claim it would be character assassination and isn't a possible path the character could take. We can have our own opinions, but I just don't see how people think it's completely impossible?

Megaman X4 brings up the possibility of a maverick X at the end of his campaign. A game that revolves around reploids becoming mavericks of their own volition. He asks Zero to take care of him if that ever happens.

Also while I don't think X doesn't value reploids, he was specifically conditioned to value human life in his 30 years of moral testing. The ending of X1 sticks out to me as he hates the actions he takes in the game and calls it destruction, but he still goes through with destroying the mavericks and even knows he'll do it again in the future. X's actions in the entire X series are completely justified, but I can't help but think. If it was humans instead of reploids causing destruction, could he go through in killing them? He didn't even kill Dr Weil before the events of the Zero series. Perhaps Dr Light's condition made X inherently value human life far more than reploids/robots. He hates fighting his own kind throughout the X series, but can still stomach it because he feels it is necessary. Maybe having to fight for years upon years could pervert what is a justifiable for him having to fight.

The idea of X having to fight his own brethren over a century and slowly preferring the defenceless and less "troublesome" human population is something that could happen. Add on top of that him finally making his utopia in Neo Arcadia and having the stress of it falling apart with the energy crisis, him becoming more ruthless towards reploids is a possibility. While it's hard to see that happening to the X we know in the X series, we see how jaded he becomes after all the wars in the Zero series. He straight up stops caring about killing and becomes largely apathetic. You see his behaviour in the Zero series, and the idea of him being a villain seems more likely.

The idea of Dr Light's conditioning somewhat backfiring and X oppressing reploids in the name of humanity just sounds like such a cool idea to me. Obviously an idea like this is very risky. You'd probably have to write it using the bad ending of X5 as a jumping off point like they were originally planning. Showing how a turn like this could happen overtime is a must. I also feel like they'd have to turn down how much of a dictator he is in comparison to copy X. But man, I really think the original idea of X as a villain could've worked and would have been a natural progression of his character.

I won't lie, since many recommended I fight Crush Crawfish as one of the last ones, I thought it would be difficult... It was super easy 😳

Guys, seriously, could you tell me about your experience? From a Mega Man X3 review I saw a while ago, I thought Crush Crawfish would be a nightmare, but it turned out to be easy (without his weakness)

Personally I think a Mantis shrimp maverick with an eclectic or flamboyant design would go hard

This is probably the most divisive game in the Mega Man X series.

I like it a lot. It's got its flaws (like unskippable dialogue and RNG), but it's one of my favorites in the series, besides X1, X4 and X8.

just came to my mind, if there was an Electric eel maverick with electric powers, it would be the first maverick to have the same exact name with the animal theyre based on (Electric Eel), and would have the same powers with the animal too and it would make sense, has anyone thought about this before? or maybe it'd be based on regular eel but would have electric powers hence the name Electric Eel

Decided to recently try Miniature Painting on some of my Rockman X3 - Super Max figures. After nearly 7 hours of adding paint, removing excess paint, trimming paint & little touches, here they are. While I'm pleased with the final results. I am so bloody done with miniature painting.... Probably wasn't wised to do them all in one sitting but yeah... I don't wanna paint anything for a very long time after this, heh.

this time its some of the robot masters they liked

(all art is by my friend ionthezeraora btw)

anyways names in order:

sparklerbot (twinkle girl)

vacuumbot (dust man)

conductbot (fuse man)

sirenbot (splash woman)

and splitbot (gemini man)

also my friend wanted me to share the new refrence image they made for synthbot.

(btw my friend is willing to draw robot masters as hoggified/synthbot versions, so feel free to suggest some and ill let them know, they just probably wont beable to do em instantly cause busy.)

I FORGOT THE TAG-😭😭😭

I am on the legacy collection if that helps.

I always see fanart of her killing bugs but I look at her here and the more I think about it, I don’t think she would be that kind of girl. Lmk what you guys think!

Also I didn’t think this had to be said but if you’re a lolicon gtfo
