Gravity Beetle, known as Gravity Beetbood (グラビティ・ビートブード) in Japan, is a Maverick from the X era, appearing as one of the main bosses in Mega Man X3. He is a gravity-themed Reploid based on a rhinoceros beetle, who attacks with black holes and his giant horn. He was formerly a Maverick Hunter before he defected to join the Doppler Army.
In the Games
Mega Man X3
Gravity Beetle debuts in Mega Man X3 as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He is a former Maverick Hunter who defected to join the Doppler Army in Dopple Town, and serves as the boss of Airborne Aircraft Carrier Stage. His attack pattern is simple, but can become complicated in his second phase. Defeating Gravity Beetle grants X the Gravity Well. His weakness is the Ray Splasher, from Neon Tiger, which briefly stuns him. A boss attack rematch with Gravity Beetle later occurs in Doppler Stage C.

Though he was once a loyal member of the Maverick Hunters' 17th Unit, Beetle now harbors a grudge towards X for destroying his fellow beetle Reploid, Boomer Kuwanger. He deserted his duties and fled in order to pursue his revenge. Beetle has modified an aerial transport he stole from Hunter HQ into a flying fortress, and has been assaulting airfields around the world. His ability to manipulate gravity and create black holes makes him a fearsome opponent. |
Behind the Scenes
Developer Commentary
- "I also did the illustrations for Beetle and Rhino. At the time, we were still applying color to cels, and it took forever to dry. This one time, I stayed late at work to finish off a piece, and just when I thought I was finally done, I noticed some color on the back of my hand. I looked at the cel and was like, 'Agh! I peeled the color off!' and had to start all over again. That was really awful." - (Shinsuke Komaki)[1]
