Reploid

A Reploid is a highly advanced robot type from the future of Earth 20XX, surpassing the earlier Robot Masters.

Creation
The Reploids were created by Dr. Cain, an archaeologist and robotics expert who uncovered Dr. Light's ultimate creation, the robot known as X. Modeling the Reploids after X, Dr. Cain sought to bring about an age of harmony in which robots and humans lived together in peace. Unfortunately, a strange virus caused many of the Reploids to become hostile and violent, and these renegades were dubbed the Mavericks. The Maverick Hunters were created to battle and contain the Mavericks, but tragedy struck when Hunter Commander Sigma was corrupted and became leader of the Mavericks. It thus fell to X, Zero, Axl, and other Maverick Hunters to continue the fight against the Mavericks and the evil of Sigma. (MMX)
