The year is 21XX AD.
Reploids — robots with the ability to think and feel for themselves — are present throughout society, liing in harmony with mankind. But when a Reploid suffers a cortex malfunction and becomes a threat to humans, it is reclassified as a 'Maverick.'
X is a member of the Maverick Hunters.
His mission: to track down and destroy Mavericks before they can cause havoc and harm humans and other Reploids.
Within the Maverick Hunters, one Reploid is renowned for being the mightiest of all, with a highly advanced cortex as well. This is Sigma, leader of the 17th Unit and X's commanding officer.
Sigma's prestige makes it all the more shocking when one day, he announces a great rebellion against humankind, calling all Reploids to turn on their makers.
The city is filled with terror as Reploids everywhere go berserk... But X stands firm against the chaos. His comrade Zero joins him in the battles to come, strengthening the mysterious bond between them.
MMX - First Armor X Alt Art.png X
X is a Reploid (a kind of sentient robot) and the hero of this advneture. As a member of the 17th Unit of Maverick Hunters, X is tasked with tracking down and putting a stop to Mavericks — malfunctioning robots that pose a threat to humanity.
No one knows for sure who created X or why, but he is dedicated to stopping the evil machinations of Sigma, his former commander who has gone rogue and now leads a rebellion against the human race.
Despite X's exceptional abilities he is still a B-Class (middle-grade) Hunter. And although he is viewed by his fellow Hunters as a rookie for his tendency to hesitate in the thick of battle, it is actually mercy, not inexperience, that stays his hand.
Even when faced with the most despicable of Mavericks, his urge to deal justice to evildoers clashes with his underlying forgiving nature, keeping him from realizing the true power that lies within him. Only Zero and Sigma have begun to suspect his incredible potential.
MMX - Zero Art.png Zero
Zero is an SA-Class Hunter who belongs to the Maverick Hunters' 17th Unit along with X. Fiercely opposed to evil in all its forms, he confronts Mavericks without a trace of pity or mercy, and conducts his missions with a cool demeanor and unparalleled speed.
Zero is one of the few to notice X's hidden potential, so he is eager to watch over X and guide him toward discovering his true power for himself. X, meanwhile, views Zero as a kind of role model, and as the only other Hunter he can really open up to.
In Zero's eyes, Sigma is nothing more than a Maverick that needs to be hunted down and destroyed. For Zero, it's just another day on the job when he tells X to prepare for battle against Sigma's forces...
MMX - Sigma Art.png Sigma
Sigma is the greatest creation of Dr. Cain, the scientist who first developed Reploids. When he served as the leader of the Maverick Hunters' 17th Unit, with X and Zero under his command, he was the ideal commander; calm and controlled when giving orders, but a furious whirlwind when called to fight. As things turned out, though, he had only been displaying a fraction of his power.
Possessed of an exaggerated pride in his supreme strength, and perhaps unsatisfied with his role as a glorified police officer, one day Sigma suddenly turned on his creators and called for all Reploids to rise up and destroy humanity.
Many loyal Maverick Hunters fought against his forces, but none could stand for long against the world's strongest Reploid. Some were destroyed, but others bent the knee and joined Sigma's cause. Now, only X and Zero are left to stop him.
Sigma knows X hasn't realized his full potential, but he doesn't believe X poses a threat to his plans.
MMX - Vile Art 2.png Vile
A former Maverick Hunter of the 17th Unit.
Like Zero, Vile held the coveted SA-Class classification, but a malfunction in his cortex made him obsessed with destroying Mavericks, prioritizing the thrill of the hunt over lesser concerns such as 'order' and 'safety.' He was only a hair's breadth from turning Maverick himself. As such, he was taken off duty and detained, but he broke loose during Sigma's uprising and is now free to resume his wanton carnage.
MMX - Chill Penguin Art 2.png Lord of the Snowy Plains
Chill Penguin
Penguin was designed for operating in sub-zero temperatures. He was deployed along with the 13th Polar Unit to guard a station at the South Pole, but soon grew tired of his dull, isolated life, and when the news of Sigma's uprising reached him, he saw his chance to return to civilization.
He destroyed his own commander, made his escape, and joined up with Sigma.
He's rowdy and belligerent despite his small stature, and gets along poorly with Flame Mammoth out of jealousy for his large size.
Currently he is planning to use avalanches to crush cities near mountains under tons of snow.
MMX - Flame Mammoth Art 2.png Fiery Oil Tanker
Flame Mammoth
Mammoth spent years fighting in the Middle East as leader of the 4th Land Unit. He saw Sigma's uprising as his first chance to really use his massive size to the fullest and go on record-breaking rampages of destruction. A cruel bully, he uses his size to boss around anyone smaller or weaker than he is.
Sigma has him guarding captured factories, which he is planning to convert to produce weaponry.
MMX - Armored Armadillo Art 2.png 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.
MMX - Storm Eagle Art 2.png Prince of the Skies
Storm Eagle
Leader of the 7th Airborne Unit, and a taciturn, careful strategist. Eagle's first reaction to Sigma's uprising was to fight against him, but realizing he was severely outmatched, he decided to join Sigma rather than be destroyed. Now he has taken control of the Death Rogumer, a new class of aerial battleship.
MMX - Sting Chameleon Art 2.png Spirit Sharp-Shooter of the Haunted Forest
Sting Chameleon
Chameleon was a highly-skilled Hunter operating with the 9th Special Unit (Rangers), but his sly, sneaky tricks and sharp tongue left him unpopular and he was never chosen for promotion to unit leader. Never one to pass up an opportunity, he has used Sigma's uprising as a means to rise through the ranks. Now, he is grimly protective of his post as a defender of a front-line base in the jungle.
MMX - Boomer Kuwanger Art 2.png Space-Time Jumper
Boomer Kuwanger
A fellow member of the 17th Unit, the beetle-like Kuwanger fought alongside X and Zero many times. He doesn't agree or disagree with Sigma's motives; he simply joined the uprising because it looked like more fun. The high-rise tower he has taken over should have been a shining symbol of the city's progress, but instead it has become an oppressive fortress. Within, Kuwanger sits plotting, sneering at the despair in the city below.
MMX - Spark Mandrill Art 2.png Lightning King of the Bullet Fists
Spark Mandrill
Mandrill once fought with X and Zero in the 17th Unit, but when the uprising began, he blindly followed Sigma's orders and joined in with the destruction.
Now, by overtaking the power station he has secured an energy source for Sigma's forces and cut off power to the city. Because there was only light resistance, Mandrill leaves most of the fighting to his underlings, spending his time gorging himself on pure electricity, fresh from the generator.
MMX - Launch Octopus Art 2.png Military General of the Deep
Launch Octopus
Octopus distinguished himself as a Maverick Hunter in the 6th Naval Unit, but secretly always harbored contempt towards the weak humans he was tasked with protecting.
Sigma's goals line up with his long-held dream of creating a Reploid nation, so he was among the first to join the uprising. He has deployed his fleet of whale, anglerfish, and eel-shaped Mechaniloids to assault cities built on the ocean and blockade important shipping lanes.
MMX - First Armor X Concept.png WARNING
"X" is the first of a new generation of robots which contain an innovative new feature — the ability to think, feel, and make their own decisions. However, this ability could be very dangerous. If "X" were to break the first rule of robotics, "a robot must never harm a human being", the results would be disastrous and I fear that no force on Earth could stop him.
Approximately 30 years will be required before we can safely confirm his reliability. Unfortunately, I will not live to see that day, nor do I have anyone to carry on my work. Therefore, I have decided to seal him in this capsule, which will test his internal systems until his reliability has been confirmed. Please do not disturb the capsule until that time.
"X" possesses great risks as well as great possibilities. I can only hope for the best.

File:MMX2 - Box Art J.png Story
The year is 21XX AD.
Once, people lived in harmony with Reploids — robots with the ability to think and feel for themselves — until the might Reploid known as Sigma declared a rebellion against mankind and triggered the greatest crisis humanity had ever faced.
But in this time of need, a hero emerged from within the ranks of the Maverick Hunters — Reploids tasked with tracking down and eliminating malfunctioning robots. His name was X.
X fought back against the rebellion alongside his comrade Zero. The battles pushed him to his limit and made him discover the true power within himself. At the summit of Sigma's fortress, X was victorious at last; Sigma was vanquished, and his plans brought to ruin.
The battle was not without its losses. Zero was all but destroyed, and the Maverick Hunters were reduced to just a quarter of their original numbers. But for X, there was no time to grieve. The new, fragile world peace needed Maverick Hunters to protect it.
And now...
Six months have passed since Sigma's uprising. At first, there seemed to be far fewer Reploids turning Maverick in the wake of Sigma's destruction, but in recent weeks there has been a sudden surge in Maverick activity. Several Maverick Hunter bases have come under attack and been destroyed.
What's more, analysis of captured Mavericks has revealed that they were build with a chip implanted in their system — something capable of brainwashing normal Reploids and making them turn Maverick. Each chip is emblazoned with Sigma's insignia.
The factory creating these Mavericks has been located. X has no doubt that the factory is being operated by remnants of Sigma's uprising, so he mobilizes the 17th Unit for a strike.
X's attack on the factory is watched from afar by three mysterious figures. They are the X-Hunters, the masterminds behind the recent attacks, who are dedicated to the eradication of the Maverick Hunters.
For destroying Sigma and halting his rebellion, X has made bitter enemies of the X-Hunters... and now their plan begins. Eight SA-Class Mavericks capture objectives around the world... but is this just a distraction tactic to cover the X-Hunters' true goal? Whatever the case, in the name of world peace, X must once more dive headfirst into the fires of battle!
MMX2 - X 12 Art.png X
The hero of this adventure. Since putting down Sigma's rebellion, X has been assigned to lead the Maverick Hunters' 17th Unit, but he still regrets that the only solution to the Maverick problem is more destruction. Few understand the turmoil he faces when his pacifist nature clashes with the need to use force to protect the innocent. X is truly alone; he has never discovered the truth of his origins, and even the most advanced technology cannot determine the extent of his full potential. Despite all this, he believes the day will come when the world will be at peace, and he never stops fighting to make that day a reality. His official Hunter Rank remains unchanged, but there are those who whisper that he might have actually exceeded the abilities of SA-Class Hunters.
MMX2 - Zero Art.png Zero
Zero was an SA-Class Hunter who fought alongside X in the 17th Unit. He was X's closest friend and one of the few who could truly understand him. During Sigma's uprising, Zero detonated his own power core to save X and was critically damaged, but miraculously his cortex chip was unscathed. It is currently being stored at Maverick Hunter HQ, but even Dr. Cain has proven incapable of repairing his Reploid body.
MMX2 - Neo Sigma Art 2.png Sigma
Formerly the commander of the 17th Unit and X's superior. Sigma was hailed as the world's strongest Reploid. His mad ambitions led him to launch a Reploid uprising against humanity in an attempt to create a world just for Reploids. However, X destroyed him and put a stop to his schemes. Now, six months later, there have been repeated sightings of Mavericks bearing Sigma's insignia. Has Sigma really returned, or is there another enemy hiding behind his name...?
MMX2 - Dr. Cain Art.png Dr. Cain
The most gifted roboticist of the 22nd century. Dr. Cain's groundbreaking development of Reploids broke down the barriers between robot and human as his creations exhibited the capacity to think, feel, and make decisions for themselves. Dr. Cain now spends his days as the founder and director of the Maverick Hunters, but he remains a mysterious figure even to those closest to him.
MMX2 - Wire Sponge Art 2.png Wire Sponge
A mysterious Reploid of unknown allegiance. Wire Sponge is actually a failed experiment created in Sigma's war machine factory. He is strangely cheerful despite his violent nature, and loves nothing more than to dance and play.
Sigma has obliged him with his very own playground: the weather control center, where he loves to alter the weather on a whim.
MMX2 - Morph Moth Art 2.png Morph Moth
Moth is a strange Reploid not found in any database.
A prototype equipped with advanced circuitry, he may take a lackadaisical approach to his duties, but his abilities are fearsome; he can absorb the junk from scrap Reploids to power himself up. Under Sigma's orders, he has occupied a robot junkyard and is using its scrap to resurrect destroyed Mavericks.
MMX2 - Flame Stag Art 2.png Flame Stag
This former member of the 17th Unit defected along with Boomer Kuwanger, but vanished soon after joining Sigma. A hot-tempered braggart, he has been using his fiery piston-like punches to set off a string of eruptions across a volcanic mountain range. His plan is to block out the sun with volcanic ash and trigger a new ice age.
MMX2 - Magna Centipede Art 2.png Magna Centipede
A ninja-like Reploid and former member of the Maverick Hunters' Special 0 Unit. Has the unique ability to infect enemies with a computer virus and make their power his own.
Centipede was captured by Sigma's forces during the uprising and brainwashed into becoming a Maverick, leaving him as nothing more than a cold, emotionless killer who will not hesitate to destroy his former comrades.
He has taken over a computer center and is transmitting the Maverick Virus around the world.
MMX2 - Overdrive Ostrich Art 2.png Overdrive Ostrich
Ostrich was once a proud member of the 7th Airborne Unit, but an accident robbed him of his ability to fly and he resigned from the Maverick Hunters in shame.
However, Sigma did not intend to let his abilities go to waste. Ostrich is forever grateful to Sigma for showing him he could still be an excellent fighter on the ground.
Ostrich has captured a hidden missile silo in the desert, and intends to carry out Sigma's order to launch a warhead at Hunter HQ.
MMX2 - Bubble Crab Art 2.png Bubble Crab
An amphibious Reploid who once belonged to the 6th Naval Unit. His bitter rivalry with Wheel Gator left him with a spotty record as a Hunter. He considers himself a pragmatist, but that's only a thin justification for his shameless pursuit of personal gain. His only reason for joining Sigma was the chance to get rich.
Currently, Crab acts as leader of a transport unit that operates out of an undersea base, smuggling Mavericks to destinations around the world.
MMX2 - Wheel Gator Art 2.png Wheel Gator
Gator was second-in-command of the 6th Naval Unit until during a mission, he got caught up in a frenzy of destruction and turned his weapons on his fellow Hunters. He became a fugitive, fleeing the very Hunters he had once commanded.
Working under Sigma has proven to be ideal for Gator, as he can slaughter and destroy to his heart's content. Recently he has acquired the means to enact even greater devastation: a massive land-based mobile fortress.
MMX2 - Crystal Snail Art 2.png Crystal Snail
Where this Reploid appeared from his a mystery, and he is also prone to disappearing... into his own shell. Sigma has ordered him to occupy the facility for mining Energen Crystals, a new power source for Reploids. Snail treats the entire mine like a second shell, hiding himself away in its safest depths.
File:MMX2 - ? Characters Art.png ? Characters
X-Hunters. Mysterious figures who have masterminded the recent Maverick outbreaks. Their sole purpose is the eradication of the Maverick Hunters, and they have already succeeded in defeating over a hundred highly-skilled Hunters in just a fortnight. With their eight SA-Class Mavericks dispatched to valuable objectives around the world, their uprising has begun in earnest, but who knows what their true goals may be...

The year is 21XX AD.
Reploids — robots with the ability to think and feel for themselves — are present throughout society. They have become an indispensable aid to mankind. But when a Reploid suffers a cortex malfunction and becomes a threat to humans, it is reclassified as a 'Maverick.' X and his comrade Zero are members of the Maverick Hunters, an organization tasked with tracking down and destroying Mavericks.
Recently, talented Reploid researcher 'Dr. Doppler' claims to have found the cause for Reploids turning Maverick — an insidious program he has dubbed the 'Sigma Virus.' With the virus identified, he has been able to create a counteractive virus, purging the Sigma Virus from Reploids' systems. This single act has rid the world of Mavericks once and for all. In celebration, he announces the creations of 'Dopple Town,' a city where humans and Reploids can coexist in peace, earning him the praise and support of Reploids and people everywhere.
In order to begin construction of Dopple Town, Dr. Doppler has gathered the most capable Reploids from around the globe. A few months later...
Tragedy strikes out of the blue. All the former Mavericks who were cured by Dr. Doppler's counteractive virus suddenly rise up in a violent rebellion! X and Zero are out on a mission when they receive the emergency message from Hunter HQ:
"X! Hunter HQ has been captured by Mavericks... and Dr. Doppler is commanding them! We need backup, now!"
Once more, X and Zero are plunged into the storm of battle. Can they restore peace and harmony between humans and Reploids? No matter what the outcome... X will never give up the fight!
MMX3 - X Art 2.png X
X is a Reploid (a kind of sentient robot) and the hero of this adventure. As leader of the elite 17th Unit of Maverick Hunters, X is an expert at destroying Mavericks — malfunctioning robots that pose a threat to humanity.
However, his duty to use force in the protection of peace often clashes with his kind, pacifist nature, and there are few who understand this struggle within him.
No one truly knows who created X or why, and even the latest technology of the 22nd century is incapable of predicting his full potential. X is shrouded in mystery.
MMX3 - Zero Art.png Zero
Zero is an SA-Class Hunter who has spent years fighting alongside X. He has been a mentor to X, a firm friend, and even a rival at times, and all this has made him one of the few who understands how X feels.
Zero is renowned for being a cool, professional pragmatist who never wastes time when out on a mission. Beneath that veneer, however, is an unforgiving hatred for Mavericks that X does not share.
During Sigma's original uprising, Zero detonated his own power core to save X's life, but he was miraculously repaired some time later. Now he leads the Maverick Hunters' Special 0 Unit, and continues to fight by X's side.
MMX3 - Dr. Doppler Art.png Dr. Doppler
Dr. Doppler is a Reploid scientist equipped with extremely advanced computer banks to fulfill his role of supporting human scientists. He was devoted to the research of machines and computer network that might help realize the goal of a peaceful world in which humans and Reploids can coexist, but since he started looking into a certain computer program his behavior has changed. He has modified himself into a battle machine, gathered powerful Mavericks to his cause, and declared war on humanity.
What is the program that has driven Dr. Doppler insane? And what modifications is he hiding beneath his lab coat?
MMX3 - Nightmare Police Art.png The Nightmare Police
Bit & Byte
A pair of high-spec law enforcement Reploids designed by Dr. Doppler to maintain security in Dopple Town. They have been designed with all the best qualities of the world's top Reploids, so their performance exceeds that of the average Reploid.
Dr. Doppler's madness has spread to Bit and Byte, and they have joined him in the war against humanity. They can be found wherever Doppler's forces have captured territory, relaying the doctor's orders to the Reploids under their command.
File:MMX3 - Vile MK-2 Art.png Vile MK-2
Formerly an SA-Class Hunter with the elite 17th Unit, Vile aided Sigma during his uprising and was destroyed by X as a result...
Or at least that's what everyone assumed.
Vile has dragged himself back from the brink of oblivion to seek revenge against X. Vile MK-2 has equipped himself with an arsenal of secret weaponry designed specifically to defeat X.
The irony is that this devotion to a grudge may be even more human than X's way of thinking. But is Vile really rational enough to notice?
MMX2 - Dr. Cain Art.png Dr. Cain
The most gifted roboticist of the 22nd century. Dr. Cain's groundbreaking development of Reploids broke down the barriers between robot and human as his creations exhibited the capacity to think, feel, and make decisions for themselves. Dr. Cain now spends his days as the founder and director of the Maverick Hunters, but he still bears guilt for the damage caused by his creation, Sigma. He understands X's problems and often supports him from behind the scenes.
MMX3 - Blast Hornet Art.png Blast Hornet
Second-in-command of the Special 0 Unit.
When Dr. Doppler sent a message inviting Zero to Dopple Town, Zero was too busy and sent Hornet in his stead. Little did he know that his friend would soon become a Maverick.
Hornet is armed with compact bee bombs which he will unleash in punishing swarms until the enemy is obliterated. He is not the most powerful of Reploids, so he uses agility and good planning to his advantage, flitting through the air with his lightweight body when danger draws near.
MMX3 - Blizzard Buffalo Art.png Blizzard Buffalo
A Reploid created for ski slope security. He was designed from the ground up to to operate in extreme cold, so he is exceptionally well-suited to snowy regions. Contrary to his fearsome appearance, Buffalo was always a gentle sort whose hobby was ice sculpture.
Now, however, he charges his enemies in a blind fury, smashing foes too slow to dodge, but apparently he also has some other weapons up his sleeve. Loves the cold, but can't handle hot things.
MMX3 - Gravity Beetle Art.png Gravity Beetle
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.
MMX3 - Toxic Seahorse Art.png Toxic Seahorse
The massive Monarch Dam is an important water source in its own right, but it also acts as a hub for remotely controlling many dams at once. Seahorse has taken control of this system to cut off the water supply to human cities. Many will perish of thirst unless he is stopped.
Seahorse is unique in that his body is made of a malleable 'liquid metal,' enabling him to blend into the walls and floor to avoid detection. He is also a master of manipulating water. Of course, there's only one way to deal with an enemy who turns into liquid...
MMX3 - Volt Catfish Art.png Volt Catfish
Catfish is equipped with a powerful built-in electricity generator; he was designed to help people during disasters by acting as a mobile power station. Now, there is little left of his kind personality.
As a Maverick, he has taken over the city's power grid control station... but the massive amounts of energy he has absorbed there have driven him berserk, challenging anyone to stop him if they can. To defeat him, you'll need some way of piercing his powerful electric shield.
MMX3 - Crush Crawfish Art.png Crush Crawfish
Crawfish was designed as a military combat Reploid, but his controlled violence and inability to tell friend from foe led to him being kept in storage, buried at the back of a forgotten warehouse. Somehow he has reawakened and taken over the naval yard, where he mercilessly cuts up any who come near.
Once caught in his massive claws, most targets have zero chance of survival. If only there were a way to overload his faulty cognitive circuits...
MMX3 - Tunnel Rhino Art.png Tunnel Rhino
Some Reploids specialize in mining, and Rhino was the best of the bunch, so before becoming a Maverick he was tasking with mining the precious Energen Crystals that power Reploids.
A diligent worker, his giant drill was his pride and joy, but he made a fatal mistake in accepting Dr. Doppler's invitation to show it off in Dopple Town. Now he uses the drill to surge through rock and earth to strike at enemies invading his territory. What weapon could stop such a huge opponent?
MMX3 - Neon Tiger Art.png Neon Tiger
Unlike most Reploids, Tiger is no stranger to fighting against humans; he was designed to hunt down poachers threatening the world's few remaining wild animals.
Since he is solar-powered, he can operate indefinitely without an external power source, and his wickedly-sharp claws and extreme speed make him a tough enemy. To defeat him, you'll have to fight blades with blades!
MMX2 - Neo Sigma Art.png Sigma
Sigma was once the leader of X's 17th Unit and the most powerful of all Reploids. Twice he has started rebellions to crush humanity and create a world just for Reploids, but each time X has halted his plans and destroyed him. Surely all that is left of him now is burnt scrap lying under a pile of rubble somewhere...
