Main articles: Hermes Armor and Icarus Armor

The Neutral Armor debuted in Mega Man X8. It is automatically obtained alongside the first Armor Parts the player obtains from any Light Capsule. It has no powers itself - if X wears it, he gains no benefits. Instead, it acts as a base upon which Armor Parts from the Hermes Armor and Icarus Armor can be equipped. This lets the player mix and match parts from the two armor sets, making for unique combinations. If the player equips all four parts of an armor, it is no longer the Neutral Armor, becoming the Hermes Armor or Icarus Armor. Whenever a full set of Armor Parts is equipped, it unlocks a special power. Additionally, there is a secret Ultimate Armor that uses the Neutral Armor design as well, though it is treated as an entirely separate armor.
