Golem (Ride Armor)

Golem (ゴーレム) is a Ride Armor piloted by a Guardroid, enemy New Generation Reploid soldier, in Mega Man X8. They appear in Bamboo Pandamonium's Booster Forest stage and are able to deliver powerful punches.

The basic physical structure of a Golem is similar to the Ride Armor Cyclops, but lack the electromagnetic gun on the shoulder. Additionally, a Golem comes equipped with a drill on its right arm and a claw on the left. There is a small chance of only the pilot being destroyed, allowing the player to use the Ride Armor.

When powered up by a MAME-Q, Golems will only attack with "Meteo-Blow" (?) and the charge time to perform the attack is also reduced.

The Devil Bear piloted by Vile appears to be a variant of Golem.

Rockman X DiVE
The Golem is also features as an enemy in the game Rockman X DiVE. There are other variation of Golem during several event stages, such as Air Pirate Servbot (resembling Reaverbots from Mega Man Legends) and Halloween (as a Frankenstein's monster ) events.

Additionally, there is another variant of Golem for the player to pilot. This variant come with two shoulder-mounted Energy Cannons. Its default attack is a punch with the claw arm, its first active skill is a dash punch with the drill arm, and its second active skill fires two missiles from the shoulder cannons.
