The Neutral Armor (ニュートラルアーマー) is a set of Armor Parts obtained from any Light Capsule in Mega Man X8. It is merely a base form, and other Armor Parts must be applied to it in order to gain effects.

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, respectively. Additionally, there is a secret Ultimate Armor that uses the Neutral Armor design as well, though it is treated as an entirely separate armor.
