It's strange, really. Though, I think they eat them to keep them running, so rectonning my thoughts, I think they also used for trade, I remember the fatty asking for E-Crystals so he can give something in return.

Still, it's a good (yet odd), point.

And that brings yet another propoganda, I remember when they were ran by oil or some other substance (and elves never existed) in the X series, not thier own food.

Now, this "currency" is also used to feed what would become "reploid souls" in the ZX series? madness. Unless, Cyber Elves are kinda treated like helpful spirits anyway..

But if reploids are powered by E-crystals, which become Robot Poo, a.k.a. more E-crystals, you'd think that would equal an unlimited amount of energy, but
if this was true, why was there an energy crisis in the Zero series?

I think the currency aspect came into effect sometime after the ZX series began, since reploids can now eat human food to replenish their energy.

Poop is not energy that's convertible, unless you're a fish or bacteria.

Besides, you misunderstand what the games show us. E-crystals are never recovered from Repliroids, only from Mechaniloids. And those mechaniloids had not yet used up that energy. It's more like the backup storage that you recover from their corpse.

So, like, they really eat them? Or do you think that they open up their built in refrigerator and store the energy crystals inside? Maybe the crystal on so many Reploids's foreheads could tell us more about this whole case hmm? The shinier it brights the more power the Reploid receives, just guessing?

I don't think that Reploids eat or do poo poo, they just melt the crystals in my opinion.

No evidence whatsoever. They are still machines. While by the time of ZX humans and Repliroids are considered equal, there's no mentioning whether or not Repliroids can consume and digest regular food. From what I recall, the only part about "equality" considering Repliroids is that they have finite lifespans like human beings. Then again, ZX has interracial couples with kids, so who knows. Anything's possible with SCIENCE.

Also, I believe Inti is being quite clear when they say humans can be given complete machine bodies.

To the point that with a copy chip equipped livemetal they can transform into a robotic rodent smaller than themselves.

So the Repliroid body is capable of everything the human body is capable of.

Really, Zero isn't 'too strictly scripted', he just had an emotionless voice actor. Script-wise you can even see him cracking jokes with the likes of Ride Boarski.

As for those energy crystals,they are edible,but junk food{or the guy who wants them has an eating disorder}.Reploids probably can eat human food for recreational purposes as well as a boost in energy
