[edit] Vile
It says in this article about reviving reploids that Vile's death was retconned. When did this occur? I played X8 and I didn't get the impression that he didn't die in X3-Mavrickindigo
[edit] Reploid
Question, where in the series does Capcom define the word "reploid", as stated in the article? "...refers to a robot whose design was ultimately derived from the original Mega Man X design."
- I believe it's in the Mega Man X instruction manual, but I'd have to dig mine out in order to make sure. Also, there's the "Repliroid" issue which the article hasn't even brought up, and that's something I'd like to get into, once I have the time, and have dug up the necessary material. -- Rablari Dash 01:38, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Here's the first mention of the term "Reploid" from the Mega Man X manual, in the Journal of Dr. Cain section:
November 22nd With X's help I have completed my first "Reploid." Although I don't completely understand how all of Dr. Light's systems works, I was able to make some minor modifications and the reploid seems to be functioning perfectly. His strength and intelligence seem limitless and he is fuly able to make his own decisions. In fact, we got into our first argument. How intriguing!
I believe the key words here are "minor modifications". Dr. Cain could not "replicate" Mega Man X's systems perfectly, so he had to modify/redesign new parts for his "Reploid". The definition in the article is the best definition that we have, as Capcom has never given a technical answer to this question, at least not in the United States. I don't know if any material in Japan ever defined it. --EisenKnoechel 23:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
That's only partially correct. A reploid in the strictest sense, is an robot granted the freedom from the three laws and is able to think and feel comparable to humans. Being one myself, I should know.-ZeroTalk 17:09, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Another tidbit...
In Megaman X3, when X first encounters Dr. Doppler, Doppler says "I need superior reploids like yourself, X!" Of course Dr. Doppler could be mistaken, but it's another reason to believe that "reploid" isn't actually a clone of X.
Technically, X and Zero aren't Reploids, because X is the original and Zero was made independently, but it's easier to refer to them as Reploids. Now Axl, he's the first New Generation Reploid. Now we need a section about the so-called "Reploid DNA". 201.214.170.79 23:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Notes
In the notes it says this "Reploids seem to be made out of biotechnology, as they have the ability to age." But in Mega Man Zero 2 One 'old man' reploid called Andrew tells Zero a story on how he fell in love with a human woman, and was sad that he outlived her so he asked for his body to be remodelled to look older. Thus contradicting this statement. 80.126.32.62 19:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
However one of the child reploid NPCs in command mission mentions that when he grows up he would become a maverick hunter, although just speculation on my part i guess that a reploid stops ageing once their about middle-aged.
As far as I know, Reploids do not 'age'. The "child Reploid" may not have meant that literally. I'm not exactly an expert on the new Mega Man games, but I've never encountered a 'biotech' theory in those I've seen, nor in derivative fan-made materials. (And surely, if the games even hinted at it, the fans would pick it up as a plot element.) --GenkiNeko 20:16, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Actually Prairie of Mega Man ZX is the same character from Z, Alloutte (sp). So some character do age physically.
