Final Weapon



Final Weapon (ファイナルウェポン) is a space station that acts as the final stage in Mega Man X4, and was intended to be the Repliforce's utopian, orbital colony independent from humanity.

History
The flower-shaped space station called the Final Weapon was constructed by the Repliforce to be their ideal, Reploid-only nation in the vastness of outer space. They built the Weapon after launching a coup d'etat against the human government for Reploid independence, and equipped it with a powerful energy cannon capable of decimating all of Earth with a single shot. Although they only built the destructive weapon in the name of self-defense in case the humans attacked them, Sigma wrested control of it from them so he could use it to destroy the planet.

After X defeated the traitor Double and Zero defeated Iris in the station, X confronted the leader of the Repliforce, General, defeating him in battle. Then, the Hunters confronted Sigma. They defeated him, but had no way to stop the Final Weapon. Luckily, the General came by, and sacrificed his life to save the Earth by slamming his body into the weapon, ending the threat once and for all.
