Zero's CPU is just lucky.
And I still done see what the big deal is. You are getting all worked up over what something is named. Thats like arguing over Rockman vs Mega Man. What it's called doesnt matter as much as what it is. It is the robot equivalent of DNA. it fulfills the same role, and when it's used to revive Reploids, they come back as copies, not the originals. Clones, if you will. DNA resurrection is little more than cloning a Reploid from it's DNA data. The data that contains who they are and every detail about them, sans their actual mind.
Now, When Gate resurrected his creations, are we to assume all their control chips miraculously survived, or that with DNA resurrection is possible to actually revive the Reploid? I mean, we know that Dr. Weil, once cyber elves came about, is an expert at literally pulling a Robot's ghost out of cyberspace to revive them and not just their body.

(As far as I know, Iwamoto-X didn't remove the helmet either; Zero got to, though)
He has, at least 3 times that I can remember, but he never actually showed X's head without his helmet. The closest we got was this
Im just gonna guess that since X was built primarily as a battle robot, Light just never really bothered to give him a civilian form, and instead concentrated on making him tougher, stronger, and more advanced in AI.

I'd much rather Reploids be treated like what they are: highly sophisticated, self-aware, silicon-based computers with robotic appendages, senses, and feelings governed by human-engineered computer programming, not biological or natural programming. If they must have DNA, then might they not also have an epidermis with hair and blood vessels surrounding a titanium endoskeleton?I think you are just overthinking DNA as far as the X series goes. Robot DNA is their source code basically. Contains everything that makes them who they are. Their personality program, their weapons data, even their appearance data. by using that, X and Zero can get new moves based on that Reploid's specific weapon ability. While Axl and New Gens, can use the appearance data to morph into that Reploid, with what i can only assume is some kind of molecular level nanotechnology or liquid metal technology akin to Double's.
You dont have to envision it as some kind of organic thing, after all, when robots blow up in the X series, they still have all kinds of metal junk in them, not guts. and yet still have DNA. If an energy based free floating computer virus can exist, Robot dna can too.

what makes a Reploid a Maverick? Is it the fundamental capacity for free will they've been programmed with, or free-floating viral code they can't defend against and makes them go all mad-cow and stuff? The answer could be either one, which turns this into a socio-political propaganda scare incident not unlike the McCarthy Red Scare.The very definition of Maverick, is, in the original japanese word- to be "irregular". Which is self explanatory. it means you are not functioning regularly. As far as X series goes, Mavericks are only those who malfunction due to some kind of bug, glitch or virus.
I can only recall once where it was used as a label, and that was X4. But X4 in it's entirety, was caused by one big misunderstanding between both sides perpetrated by Sigma and a traitor within the Hunters. The Hunter hierarchy had genuine reason to declare Repliforce Maverick. They were framed for dropping an entire floating city/highway thing- down on top of the City below, annihilating it. And when it's Colonel was asked to come in for questioning, he vainly refused, and even encouraged the Hunters to call him and his men Mavericks if they wanted. From there, the entire Repliforce declared independence from Humanity. They declared it was not about rebellion, but it just came across as turning tail and running away.
Only once the Energy Crisis started in Neo Arcadia under Copy-X's watch, did the term begin to be misused as a way to commit mass Reploid genocide for the sake of pleasing the Humans. And anyone who would dare oppose this, was also labeled Maverick. When Weil took over, he would declare anyone who opposed or decried him as Maverick, even if they were Human. Afterward, by ZX, the term returns to more or less the same meaning as the X series.
And by Legends, it's meaning seems to be a bit ambiguous, since those who go against the system are considered Irregulars, (Abberants in the English version)but we dont quite know the circumstances there, since it seems the system liked to keep a pretty tight leash around it's Robots, limiting their intelligence, not allowing them to think outside the system's parameters, so it's possible that simply anyone who dared to question the system was put down, along with any who malfunctioned. Trigger rebelled against the System on the Master's last command, and was considered an Irregular.

« on: July 13, 2012, 01:43:07 AM »
To be honest, I feel that many of the Trigger votes were solely to send the message that "we want more legends" after the Legends 3 fiasco. Bandai probably felt that since they were doing the X series, they would be better off continuing with it and doing other series later.

« on: July 11, 2012, 04:53:00 PM »
It's not that they didnt put the effort into it, it's that it had a rushed production schedule from the start and is therefore, IMO, basically unfinished. Look at Heatnix's stage. After the first miniboss, you have this wonderful little section of stage. Which then suddenly and abruptly ends and drops you into another miniboss fight. If you take the alternate pathway, you go to a vertical climb that again, resembles more of some kind of stage. Those two parts are shining examples of what they could have done and probably wanted to do, but ultimately couldnt finish due to time constraints and therefore used minibosses as filler.

Humans are machines too. Just made of different stuff. I dont find it a stretch for reploid DNA to contain their programming, weapons data and personality program and such. Also, do note that the way X and co switch hand from hand to buster or how Axl transforms, at least as far as MHX goes, seems to imply some level of nanotechnology too. i they have nano technology DNA, then its not a stretch at all.

Virus was around since X2, and probably planned from the beginning, since the Sigma/Wily connection sure was.

/vg/'s all abuzz that it could finally be SA3. And it wouldnt be a surprise, since Sonic Team's been wanting to make SA3 since Sonic 06.
Actually, everything PAST SA2 and before Colors was pretty much trying to be SA3. (except ShTHH, that was SA 2.5) and Unleashed even began development as Sonic Adventure 3 before they created the original concept for it.

Ill always remember that one chick in Command Mission who had that view on death like, you live on as part of a new Reploid when your parts are recycled. Thought that was a neat way for a reploid to look at death.
And yeah, DNA resurrection is illegal.
Basically, if you dont have it's original brain, it's dead Jim, you cant bring that back. You try, You break the law. Thats more like trying to drag the dead back from the netherworld.
see unlike Humans, when reploids die, you can just shove their brain into a new body if it is still intact. (Zero's done it at least twice)
Gate's Metal Shark Player in particular, got into big trouble because he was really into studying DNA resurrection, and Gate encouraged him. So they both got in trouble.

I never had an issue with Unleashed HD.
Now, the PS2/Wii version on the other hand, had that issue in spades, due to their "Gaia Gates" or those little hub places which had of all things, minigame areas you had to get though usually to get those damn things.
In HD they usually seem to mostly be right in your path in stages.
