Mechaniloid

Mechaniloids (メカニロイド) are robots that, unlike Reploids, have an artificial intelligence below-average human intellect. Most have a more mechanical shape than a humanoid shape, but this isn't always the case as robots like Velguarder and Mettaur C-15 are considered Reploids, while humanoid robots like Snow Rider are Mechaniloids, the term being apparently valid only for their AI, not their appearance. Mechaniloids also have the ability to go Maverick, Maverick Mechaniloids being the most common enemies faced in the Mega Man X series and then every main series (Mega Man Zero and ZX) since. They come in all sorts of forms, including the Batton Bone, Bee Blader, and Deerball.

Mechaniloids seem to be customizable to do just about anything, from construction to excavation. It is believed that the "standard procedure" is for a small army of assistant Mechaniloids, all specialized in a certain field, are typically sent with a single specialized Reploid for whatever job is needed at the time.

Mechaniloids are the main enemies in the stages of the games and have a wide variety of purposes such as attacking the player, serving as obstacles, some of whom can't be destroyed and serving as platforms or other helpful necessities. Many drop items that heal life, weapon energy or E crystals. Large Mechaniloids commonly serve as sub bosses in stages.

In general term of robot with human thinking circuit, it is possible to process the things you think of themselves. Is distinguished from this, the robot moves as programmed, which is the instruction called Mekaniroido. Although the first time the person who produced the Repuriroido is Kane Dr., by two of Thomas Wright and Albert · W · Wiley more than 100 years ago, a robot with human thinking circuit also say the prototype has been developed. Even when viewed from the X series, the world's 100 years later, it is made of fairly advanced technology, light, after the death of both Dr. Wiley, the theory technology can not understand anyone is lost. Although Kane Dr. is issued to human thinking circuit is again the world by analyzing the X, he was, but not all can understand technology, the light Dr. by warning of a capsule that had been sealed in Aix "My technology a person who understands 100% I have said did not "stay. It should be noted and humanoid Mekaniroido, it is not called "human-type = Repuriroido" because of the presence also Repuriroido beast type.
