Armed Phenomenon

Under Heavy Construction

The  is a transformation in the Zero series that increases the strength of its user. The transformation is reversable, and no known danger has been identified from its use. It usually has an animal motif, and is always completely inhuman and mechanical.

Only five Armed Phenomena have been properly recorded; however, an Armed Phenomenon may also be used as a term to describe almost any transformation performed to increase the user's strength.

True Phenomena
True Phenomena are the five Armed Phenomena performed by the Four Guardians and Copy X. They are classified as such because many transformations like them have been performed by many others, but have not been properly classified as Armed Phenomena. The True Phenomena are directly programmed into their users' data, and are easier to control than Power Phenomena because they are simply latent power that can be brought out.

Harpuia
Sage Harpuia takes on the form of a massive bird aircraft. Its sustained flight makes up for its large size. 

Leviathan
Fairy Leviathan takes on the form of a manta ray submarine. She is much more aggressive, despite having lost much evasiveness due to the increase in size that this form gives her. 

Fefnir
Fighting Fefnir takes on the form of a dragon tank. He uses its large size to his advantage, slowly and steadily forcing Zero to keep moving through a hall during his battle in his Armed Phenomenon form. He uses his four cannons to keep Zero on his toes. 

Phantom
Hidden Phantom becomes a large bat-like creature. His is the only Armed Phenomenon that is not fought in any game, which is due to his death in the first game. 

Seraph Copy X
Copy X, the former leader of Neo Arcadia, takes the form of a seraph while in his Armed Phenomenon. Most of his attacks in this game are also given an angelic theme to them, such as his imprisoning halos. This is the only Armed Phenomenon fought in the first game. 

Power Phenomena
Power Phenomena is a term used to classify transformations that are not applicable to be true Armed Phenomena, but whose uses are functionally the same. Power phenomena are gained through means of self-augmentation.

They are not classified as true Armed Phenomena because they are not pre-programmed for future use, and thusly they must be obtained. They are also much harder to control than True Phenomena, because the source of power usually has a mind of its own, such as the Dark Elf.

The Second Phenomena
Omega's second form, Fusion Omega, is difficult to classify because it is unknown whether this power was pre-programmed into him or evolved from pre-existing data. If it was known to have been pre-programmed, than it would be eligible for classification as a True Phenomenon; however, if it evolved from Omega's data, than it is properly a Power Phenomenon.

The reason it is classified as a Power Phenomenon is because of its appearance, which combines parts from X, Zero, and the Dark Elf. No other True Phenomenon is known to have been programmed to combine multiple reploids' appearances or powers together.



The Dark Phenomens

Armed Phenomena involving the power of the Dark Elf. The user of this type of phenomena is invigorated with dark power, but find difficulty controlling themselves, as it requires the fusion of two consciousnesses.
