Armored Armadillo, known as Armor Armarge (アーマー・アルマージ) in Japan, is a Maverick from the X era, first appearing as one of the main bosses in Mega Man X. He is a shield-themed Reploid based on an armadillo, with impenetrable defenses and counterattacks.
Like the rest of the Mavericks in the first game, he was previously part of the Maverick Hunters, specifically leading the 8th Armored Unit.
In the Games
Mega Man X
Armored Armadillo debuts in Mega Man X as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He is a former Maverick Hunter who joined Sigma's rebellion out of loyalty to his superior, and serves as the boss of Gallery Stage. His attacks are deceptively fast and his defenses will repel careless attacks, requiring careful strategy. Defeating Armadillo grants X the Rolling Shield. His weakness is Electric Spark, from Spark Mandrill, which totally removes his armor and makes the fight considerably easier. A boss attack rematch with Armored Armadillo later occurs in Sigma Stage 3.
Mega Man Xtreme
In Mega Man Xtreme, Armored Armadillo returns as a digitized Maverick in the Mother Computer. He is one of the four bosses in Hard Mode, being the boss of Gallery Stage. He again yields Rolling Shield to X and his armor can still be removed with Electric Spark. Armored Armadillo is later part of the boss attack in Sigma Stage 3.
Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
In the remake Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, Armored Armadillo receives a redesign but plays largely the same role as in Mega Man X, being the boss of Energy Mine Ruins. He is a disciplined soldier who followed Sigma's rebellion out of loyalty to his commander.
For X, Armadillo is still weak to Electric Spark and yields Rolling Shield upon his defeat, while for Vile he is weak to weapons obtained from Spark Mandrill (Go-Getter Right, Egoistic Pill, Infinity Gig, Peace Out Roller, Stubborn Crawler) and yields the Ball weapon system. Armadillo's boss attack rematch later occurs in Sigma Palace 2.

Steel-Armored Warrior Armored Armadillo | |
Leader of the 8th Armored Unit. Though Armadillo is a stoic soldier who never disobeys an order, he is loyal to a fault, continuing to obey Sigma's orders despite the fact that he has turned against humanity. The mine he has captured is the prime source of the raw materials Sigma needs to manufacture weapons. With a body shielded by a stout steel, Armadillo is ideally suited to fighting underground. |
