Galleon

Galleon (ガレオン) is a recurring enemy from the Mega Man ZX series.

Description
It is unknown where Galleons came from or who built them, but there is no denying their mass-produced status as well as their status as Mavericks. Throughout the ZX series, Galleons seem to only follow the orders of higher, more powerful Mavericks. They're humanoid in basic appearance with purple-colored armored plating and appear to resemble a cross between a Pantheon and a Variant. Unlike previous mass-produced Mechanaloids, Galleons will not open fire upon the presence of an enemy unless someone is possessing a weapon on their person which can be indicated by the flashing line on their heads. If green, the Galleon will leave the player to their business but changes to red if one detects an armed person. Because Grey and Ashe always have weapons with them, Galleons will attack them without a second thought.

List of Galleons


Galleon Hunter
Galleon Hunter (ガレオン・ハンター) is the basic model in the Galleon series, and the most prevalent type of Galleon. It is equipped with arm busters, and is a true allrounder suited to complex tasks. It's AI is highly advanced and is programmed to follow orders and complete its mission at any cost.



Galleon Assault
Galleon Assault (ガレオン・アサルト) is a close quarters combat Galleon from Mega Man ZX Advent armed with a large blade. They have more endurance and are more aggressive than Galleon Hunters. Their attack range is very wide. Their technology may be based on Model Z; they use a green saber-blade in place of a left arm and use a similar stance to that of Girouette transformed with Model Z.



Galleon Bazooka
Galleon Bazooka, known as Galleon Battery (ガレオン・バッテリー) in Japan, attacks using its short range rocket launcher which can also fire heat seeking missiles. When there are no enemies around, it spends most of its time performing maintenance to its artillery.



Galleon Burner
Galleon Burner (ガレオン・バーナー) appears from the windows of the Fire Site. It has a jet burner on each shoulder. When the fuel runs out, it will drop down and wait to recharge. It is outfitted with special heat shielding allowing it to withstand extreme temperatures.



Galleon Diver
Galleon Diver (ガレオン・ダイバー) rides an aqua cycle and receives compressed air from a pipe, allowing it to dive deep beneath the surface. If the pipe ruptures, the Galleon will succumb to water pressure and be destroyed.



Galleon Noggin
Galleon Noggin, known as Galleon Head (ガレオンヘッド) in Japan, is a Mechaniloid that was created by suspending the head of a Galleon in special liquid. There are two types of Galleon Noggins that differ in their liquid types.



Galleon Rider
Galleon Rider (ガレオン・ライダー) is a Galleon from a motorcycle team. Because of their Pseudoroid DNA, flames make them stronger and faster. But, few Galleons are skilled enough, and most lose control of their motorcycles.

Hint: The Pseudoroid DNA is from Fistleo the Predatoroid.



Galleon Shocker
Galleon Shocker, known as Galleon Fuse (ガレオン・ヒューズ) in Japan, is a Galleon from Mega Man ZX Advent that has one weapon on each arm -- an Anode and a Cathode, which it sticks into the ground to produce an intense electrical current. Its body is covered in a special electro-absorptive coating, making it resistant to electric attacks.



Galleon Shroud
Galleon Shroud (ガレオン・シュラウド) uses a bunker for protection. It opens a hatch to fire its bazooka and fires its buster weapon from a gap in the bunker. If the Galleon inside is destroyed, the bunker is taken down with it.



Galleon Sledder
Galleon Sledder, known as Galleon Maneuver (ガレオン・マニューバー) in Japan, is a unit from Area L that has received training to handle its special features. They fire a bazooka from above and a buster from below. There are two jet engines attached to the sled. They reappear separated and without the sled in Mega Man ZX Advent as Galleon Bazooka and Galleon Spider, but the Galleon Bazooka uses homing missiles instead of explosives.



Galleon Spider
Galleon Spider (ガレオン・スパイダー) appears in Mega Man ZX Advent and attacks hanging from ceilings and ledges. Their performance figures are similar to those of a Galleon Hunter. An attack to one of its grappling arms will quickly bring it down.



Galleon Wing
Galleon Wing (ガレオン・ウィング) is a Galleon with a flight unit attached to its back. It can fly freely through the air while using its buster weapon to attack. Its frame is much lighter than a normal Galleon to aid in flight.



Deluxe Galleon Wing
Deluxe Galleon Wing is a modified Galleon Wing that was introduced in combat on the assault against Guardian HQ as sub-bosses. It has additional offensive functionality not found in the non-deluxe model such as nitro cans. They reappear in Area O.
