Mega Man X8 (Axl 100% power, 100% items)

An Axl-led run of X8 where I fully upgrade Axl and collect all items.
X8 is one of my favorites, although it does feel a little shallow at parts. The voice-acting is pretty good, the story is somewhat better, although nothing spectacular, but the game's mechanics are intertwined well...mostly.
Axl has a nice playstyle that balances between X and Zero, but he is pretty weak against the final bosses. I tried to go without using sub tanks, but I just couldn't consistently get to Lumine 2 without dying.

How do you transform into different enemies with axl again?

[@IpseImperator]

You have to kill the enemy with Axl's secondary attack (in base form) it should be triangle.
It only works for specific enemies as well.

@@IpseImperator ok thanks, it’s with the copy shot

[@reactionforall584]

please tell me I have completed the game many times but axel transform apility diidnt appear

[@IpseImperator]

The transform ability is his default special attack (triangle). With his base form (no super weapon), press triangle to shoot a purple orb. If you kill a compatible enemy with the purple shots, it will then drop a capsule which will then replace the purple shot as a special attack.
See this part of the video for example. 1:05:22

@@reactionforall584 In fairness to you, the game never actually tells you how to use this. When I first played the game as a kid, I did the same thing and was confused how to get into some of the secret areas.
