Mach Jentra

"It is all for the ideal!"

- Mach Jentra

Mach Jentra, known as Mach Gentler (マッハジェントラー) in Japan, is the "Reinforced Light Armor Aerial Reploid" from Mega Man X: Command Mission. He is based on a swallow, specifically a barn swallow.

Characteristics
Mach Jentra is a swallow-based Reploid, possessing a small beak and a tailcoat and cape resembling the distinct silhouette of a swallow's tail and wings. His armor is predominantly blue and black in color, with red highlights around areas such as his head. He also carries a cane or scepter-like staff. Unlike most bird Reploids, he flies with jets on his feet rather than wings or a jetpack.

Mach Jentra's personality is that of a refined British gentleman, which is indicated in his composed demeanor. Jentra personally operated the factory core "Duboar", a seemingly simple AI controlled directly by his vocal patterns that spawned Preons. He was quite arrogant when taking on Zero alone, but angrily retreated once X and Axl arrived. He was also very confident in Duboar's production capabilities, believing that using it he could easily defeat the heroes. However, upon his defeat he spitefully told them that they would be overpowered by Duboar's berserk state and laughed at their seemingly-inevitable deaths.

Mega Man X: Command Mission
Mach Jentra was originally sent by the government to assist in mantaining security in Giga City, but later defected and joined the Rebellion. Shortly thereafter, Jentra was put in charge of the Ulfat Factory, a giant smelter and production plant for the Preon soldiers used by the Rebellion. He defeated Zero in one-on-one combat when the former recklessly attempted to fight him alone before X and Axl arrived on the scene, forcing him to retreat.

Jentra retreated to Duboar, the AI system at the factory's core, to create more guards for backup - despite this, he was still defeated by X's party. As a result, Duboar began to run out of control without Jentra's influence, mass-producing Preons at an alarming rate. Axl, in a desperate attempt to stop it, mimicked Jentra's form and commanded Duboar to cease its attack via vocal command. With Duboar pacified, X and Zero destroyed it for good.

Stats and Abilities
Mach Jentra possesses flight powered by thrusters located in his boots and on his back. Unlike many of the other flight-types in the game, he can be knocked to the ground for one turn by taking enough damage between his two turns, negating the evasion bonus granted by his flight to ground-based attackers.
