      Reploids are categorizes by product; the one where they all look alike are mass produced Reploid Hunters, the lowest rank with pre-programmed combat data. Then there are Experimental Reploids, and those are build from the labs which test the limit how Reploid is to a human. Then they are Specialize Reploids, and those are the Reploids with massive body changes like Kuwanger, Eagle, and Chameleon, among others.
      I'm more interested in seeing how X, Zero and Sigma would look like as all three has been depicted as 'near human characteristics'. Since X and Zero are Robots from the year 20xx and Sigma is crowned as the highly advance Reploid of his era, their facial expression would be closest thing to a human.

I mean, if the reploids looked expressionless and even uncanny, I am curious about the appearance of the classic Mega, Bass, X and Zero.

    Kuwanger got some sick upgrades from the Gear! That is so interesting development.
    Note that most Reploids around look the same, those are mass produced, off the shelf Hunters. They send newbie to guard a dangerous Maverick.
    The fact that Kuwanger travels back to time using the Speed Gear isn't far-fetched as in the game the Speed Gear can slows down time (or speed it up, depends on who's perceptive.) The tech itself is ancient (20XX) but it is glitching, which means that it is probably damage and is unable to properly function as its intended function.
    Good job, and keep building up more Megaman X Lore!

    You've done the little zippy bug proud. I love that you were able to get both Boomer's after image skill, aka super speed, along with his time dilation, aka teleportation. And him doing a time loop with himself to repair himself while also destroying the Hunters that have occupied his base? Great touch. Even threw Boomer's Ceiling Slam in there.
    Also, I love how you made the Hunter Reploids. Boomer carves through them with minimal difficulty, but they aren't useless. It really does emphasize the hierarchy of robots that existed at the time in the lore. The "market grade" Reploids, made for specific or general work. The "Hunter/Military grade" Reploids, made for keeping the peace in a world where most things can't stand to them. (In a world with even a basic Hunter model, good luck to the random mook trying to rob a convenience store.) But then there are the "Master grade" Reploids. Made with more autonomy, intellect, and tech to be special operations leaders. Then there's X and Zero. The models all other Reploids are derived from.
    This video really nailed the gulf in ability between those grades. As soon as there was a problem, every Hunter was notified, reacted calmly, and even tried to devise multiple angles to come at the threat. Problem was, it was handful of mice trying to fight a cat. Might get a bite in, maybe even draw a little blood, but the cat isn't going to lose.
    This was great! Can't wait to see who's next!
    Edit: OH! And the callback to the Mega Man 11 Speed Gear was a great inclusion too.

      And thank you for complimenting my reploid ideas and how they behaved.
      I wanted to make them not just cannon fodder but actually have some strategies. So I created four variants with different tasks and skills. And they try but as you said, no chance at all 😁
      And this takes place after X1 so they fought him after being defeated and captured him to harness his powers and eventually fuse them with the speed gear.
      I needed some kind of item that would allow him to jump a minute backwards and late in the development I had the epiphany with the speed gear and how it was discovered after being lost for 100 years. It was the obvious choice 😊

Charging the Megabuster is actually a bad idea since you have only so many frames to hit him. Also, if you don't know his pattern is also hard to know when to jump down and hit him, especially since he can just stop where you land.
      Obviously his stage is harder if you don't have the boots. You should start on penguin.
      Finally, if you say it is an easy boss you should at least tell the strategy to beat him. To me, the easiest way to defeat him is to just stand in the center of the stage and shoot lemons. You only have to mash and worry to turn to the side you see him quickly. You'll sometimes will be sent to the roof, but that shouldn't happen if you are fast enough.

    Absolutely amazing, this really does bring into perspective how insanely adaptive and strong Reploids, and by extension Mavericks. are. Base Megaman was able to hold up an entire tower for a couple minutes, it's crazy to think what X could achieve. Oh wait, I guess surviving a space colony crash would suffice as a great durability feat. Not to mention that most robots and Reploids were built with industrial-grade components so they are more akin to Armored Cores than they are normal robots.

      True. To hold a fight against these, he really must be a badass 😁
      I have some ideas how to portray him but it's still not fully developed. Thankfully I still have time until his episode which will be 9 😉

    These get better and better! You made Kuwanger so MENACING. The camera work was on a new level in this one.

    This is the most impressive creation I’ve seen in over a decade. Honestly, there’s nothing to even compare it to. Being a long life MegaMan X fan, it’s absolutely insane and amazing what new life this visually brings to the table… Especially when considering the jump from pixel art to whatever this beautiful masterpiece is. It really sets in place a tone and a tremendous depth of terror that I didn’t even know existed in the original X series until you carved your own signature into it. I am blown away. This is absolutely amazing.

      Mega Man X always had a grim dark tone to the lore.... But that wasn't exactly well conveyed in the art design. At least not until the later games where the game part of the whole experience started to become... Let's say less well received.
      This... This corrects that masterfully.

    Very good job dude. To see Megaman universe in this style is unreal, never fathomed it! I think Boomer Kuwanger is a bit too human-like with the behavior, but it was still badass and I look forward to more!

    Incredible execution on a stunningly coherent concept. A knockout short film.

    Excellent work! ^_^
    This really captured a mature aesthetic of something from my childhood. Hope you will continue but thank you for what you’ve completed.

    I always felt that this is the direction that the megaman x franchise should have taken instead of the anime style. This is amazing work.
