Biometal

Introduction
Featured in the ZX Series, the Biometal System (Livemetal in Japan, also known as the R.O.C.K. [Rebirth Of Crystallized Knowledge] or M.E.G.A. [Mega-Encapsulated Granule Awareness] system), created by Ciel, is the process of storing the knowledge, personality and other data of a Reploid, some being more famous than others. The project was originally created to analyse the remains and data of Dr. Weil (Dr. Vile), in the form of Biometal Model W. When this Biometal was removed from the lab (stolen by Serpent), 6 other Models were created to counter it. These include the legendary heroes X and Zero, as well as the four Guardians: Harpuia, Fefnir, Leviathan and Phantom. Anyone who uses the power or wisdom of a Biometal, takes on an 'living' armor representing the the data of the individual inside the Biometal, and is regarded as a Mega Man (Rockman). The H, F, L and P Models were stolen by Serpent and given to his minions.

The Biometal 'Models' that are collected in Mega Man ZX are X, Z, H, F, L, P and O. From a certain point in the game, Model X is combined with Model Z to form Model ZX, and is also distributed for combining with future acquired Biometals, namely Models H, F, L, P, and O. These models are later gained from battle. Model W is not acquirable by the player, and is used only by Serpent.

Mega Man ZX Advent
There are six Biometal forms usable in Mega Man ZX Advent, Models A, H, F, L, P, and ZX; however, the latter five are merely copied through A-Trans.

Model X
Voice Seiyuu: Takahiro Mizushima - The essence of the legendary hero of Neo Arcadia, X.
 * The Blue Mega Man, Model X is obtained by Vent/Aile in the beginning of the game. Model X's attacks are based upon those of X's and consist of the X-Buster, which can charge and release a blast of energy. The X-Buster can be charged to three levels: a Mid Charge, Full Charge, and Double Charge Shots. Even though the ZX Model can use Double Buster Shot attacks, the Model X version is still more powerful. After fusion with ZX, this Model can't be gotten back until a game is completed with both Vent and Aile.



Model Z / ZX
Voice Seiyuu: Yuuto Kazama - The essence of the legendary Resistance hero Zero.


 * Model Z, the Red Mega Man, is used specifically by Girouette early in the game. Based upon Zero, this form features a Z-Saber as a weapon and has a visor instead of a helmet. Attacks used by Girouette in this form are based on Zero's techniques and include Retsuzan, Reppuugeki, Sentsuizan, Ganhanza and Rekkoha. After Girouette is defeated by Serpent, Pandora and Prometheus, he insists to Model Z that it be passed to Vent/Aile, before he dies. After being passed to Vent/Aile, Model Z fuses with Model X, becoming Model ZX, the Ultimate Mega Man. Model ZX's weapons are the ZX-Buster and the ZX-Saber. Model ZX's attacks are based of that of Zero's and X's, featuring, on Zero's side: Retsuzan, Kuuenzan and Ganhanza, and on the only one from X's side; the 2nd shot of the original model X's Double Charged Shot.

The abilities of Model OX include infinite Overdrive, which is used to perform a series of techniques that were used by Omega at the end of Mega Man Zero 3. The techniques used by the OX-Saber during Overdrive are Arc Blade (an ice attack), Ryuuenjin (a fire-based uppercut) and Shinkuujin (a thunder attack). OX-Buster attacks during Overdrive include instantly-charged shots, Earth Crush: an attack that involved punching the ground to spit up multiple boulders, Messenko: Zero's X5 Giga Attack, in which plasma bolt erupt from a point where the ground is punched, and Rekkoha: Zero's X6 Giga Attack, which has bolts of light summoned from the sky and ground. Zero's Retsuzan, Kuuenzan and Ganhanza are also available for the OX-Saber.

Interestingly enough, Model O itself is shaped like the Greek Letter Omega. Also the bio-metal could be zero's helmet, a remnant of megaman zero 4 after ragnarok erupted, in which only zero's helmet is seen after the explosion 

Model W
- The soul of Dr. Weil
 * Formed from the remains of the Dr. Weil(Dr. Vile) and Ragnarok fusion, defeated in Mega Man Zero 4. It supposedly contains Dr. Weil's soul, and corrupts all that approach it. Serpent, 10 years before the game, found and was corrupted by the Model W Core. He took a fragment, and used it to create the Maverick outbursts. In the final stage of the game, Serpent activated his fragment of Model W, but was still defeated by Vent/Aile. He used the Model W Core, filled with the power of Humans and Reploids that were killed by the Mavericks, to become a gargantuan figure (Ultimate Model W), exponentially stronger than the form obtained by the Model W fragment.


 * Weapons available for Model W include increased physical attacks (uppercut, kicks) shooting from fingers, and large energy balls. For Ultimate Model W, attacks include a storm of meteors, creating and breaking a crystal to attack with the shards, stunning powder, and leeching.

In Megaman ZX Advent it is revealed that many Model Ws had been made by Master Albert. Albert planed to awaken all the Model Ws at once and fuse them into the Ouroborus,a giant Biometal to be used by the Mega Man King.



Model A

 * Model A gets its name from Master Albert, who created Model A as his personal back-up system. This Biometal's Mega Man form allows the use of handguns, as well as the A-Trans copy ability, in the use of DNA Cores. Attacks available include the Charge Shot, the before-mentioned A-Trans ability, and the Homing Shot. The homing shot is capable of targeting up to eight enemies over a reasonable range. This Biometal gains experience with every battle. Model A can also perform the Giga Crush technique, flinging out both pistols in a flurry of bullet fire. Though his appearance and powers have been based on Axl, a character from the Mega Man X series, Model A may bear no relation to the character, or Albert may have somehow known about Axl and based Model A on him.

A-Trans Abilities
By obtaining DNA cores, Model A can mimic the forms of enemy characters, allowing use of their attacks.


 * Buckfire - In this A-Trans form, access to a series of agility attacks is unlocked, including a diving kick that can destroy certain boxes.
