He has strong ties to Zero, said to be the only scientist capable of repairing (much less upgrading) Zero at the time. Serges is often labelled the de-facto leader of the X-Hunters. There’s also a heavily implied visual theme in the intro of X2 as well as the Central Computer stage that the X-Hunters were studying X’s schematics specifically. They set up factories to build weaponry and robots loyal to Sigma’s cause, and organized the second round of Maverick rebellions seen in X2. In the six months since Sigma’s defeat, the X-Hunters were responsible for the assassinations of over a hundred prominent Maverick Hunters, in addition to launching surprise attacks resulting in the destruction of many Maverick Hunter bases throughout the world. Sigma assembled these three in the event that his rebellion failed, and tasked them with continuing the fight while also overseeing his eventual resurrection. Their ranks consist of Agile, the tall, graceful warrior-spy whose skill in battle is second only to Sigma Violen, a round, dim-witted powerhouse whose raw brute strength makes him a one-man army and Serges, a hunched and aged-looking mad scientist figure who served as the brains of the group.
The X-Hunters, known as the Counter Hunters in the Japanese parlance, are a trio of villains who rise up to take on the mantle of evil in Sigma’s absence post his X1 defeat. Since X-Kai is introduced as “Leader of the X-Hunters”, let’s start with some background information on them. How well does it fit with existing canon? Let’s break it down. I appreciate the attention to lore that went into this redeco, although the details are contextually as vague as what I’d come to expect. This figure features over 30 points of articulation, die-cast armor on the chest, shins and feet, an LED X-Buster, purple effects parts and a completely unique paint application that is sure to stand out in any display!
He was given much higher specs than that of X and uses state-of-the-art technology. X-Kai! X-Kai is X’s evil counterpart developed by a mysterious man during the formation of the X-Hunters. TruForce Collectibles is pleased to announce an exclusive figure from the Mega Man X franchise exclusively for New York Comic Con. You can find my usual analytical overindulgence in this concept below.įirst, for good measure, here was the original press release from TruForce: His armor crest has also been switched to Sigma. It still amazes me that CAPCOM did not bring out a villain that looks exactly like Mega Man X. This concept came from the episode listed in MEGA MAN X OFFICIAL COMPLETE WORKS – There were originally four characters in the X-Hunters, however, one character had to be cut out due to ROM capacity. (At this time, it is assumed there will be no armor evolution as seen in Mega Man X) Unlike the original blueprint, it was given much higher specs than that of Mega Man X, using state-of-the-art technology. During the formation of the X-Hunters, the robot was discovered and completed by a mysterious man. However, with the development of Zero moving forward, this prototype was discarded and forgotten.
