Eight Gentle Judges

The Eight Gentle Judges (八審官) are eight Mutos Reploids and judges from Neo Arcadia that decided with X if a Reploid called into question is a Maverick. Dr. Weil brainwashed and modified them to serve him, as the Weil Numbers (バイルナンバーズ), the eight bosses from Mega Man Zero 3.

In Vile's Incident, their creator was revealed to be Dr. Weil, hence why they serve him after being modified. It's possible that after the Elf Wars this loyalty led them to exile Omega into space and Weil into the wastelands rather than ordering their deaths, but it is also possible that they made this decision due to other reasons. As shown in Remastered Tracks Rockman Zero Telos, the eight used to be very gentle, respected the Four Guardians, and had doubts about X's recent decisions to consider Reploids as Mavericks. After Weil's remodeling they became aggressive, telling Sage Harpuia to remove the "junk" (the injured Fairy Leviathan and Fighting Fefnir) from a room to be used by Weil and maintaining this aggression even in their humanoid forms. It is unknown if their gentle personalities were the only true ones, or if Weil's modifications awakened violent personalities which had been suppressed during his absence. They operate the Central Convergence of Neo Arcadia to eliminate those who oppose Dr. Weil. Each of them has a "Judge" and a "Punishment" form.

They also made a very brief appearance in Mega Man Zero 4 as illusions summoned by Dr. Weil when he merged with Ragnarok to battle with Zero, and half of them appear as optional bosses in Mega Man ZX.

Trivia

 * When Dr. Weil summons them in Mega Man Zero 4, the order that the Judges appear in matches that of the order they are fought in Zero 3.
 * When scanning the judges during their bonus fights in Area N, their original "Judge" forms appear in the scan rather then their "Punishment" forms.
