So Reploids eat Energy Crystals... and it's also their currency.

[Protoman Blues]

You know, you'd think Robots would grow beyond the need to buy things.

[Zan]

The official currency IS the Zenny. You're just skipping the part where you're selling the 'energy' for Zenny.

Game mechanics.

[RMX]

I don't think ECs are used as currency anywhere other than in ZX, where there is no energy crisis anymore, so they can use power plants as pennies if they wanted.

[Bag of Magic Food]

Game mechanics.

Not game mechanics!  Poop, food, and money are all the same thing, I tell you!

[Acid]

Yeah!

They all stink!

[Zan]

They're all energy.

Like pretty much everything else in this universe.

[Bag of Magic Food]

Mm, you have a point.

Maybe.

[Acid]

They're all energy.

Like pretty much everything else in this universe.

I demand you eat your own poop.

[Zan]

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.

[Align]

Interesting that the future deals in canisters of sheer energy though.

[Flok]

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.

[Fxeni]

Think this, only replace the cans with E-Crystals.

[Bag of Magic Food]

Oh, I get it now!  The energy cans slow down Mega Man's perception of time, so his adventure SEEMS fast!

[Girla PurpleHeart]

Wait, quick question...do reploids eat human food too? They just don't eat Crystals but they can eat food too? Just wondering. :/

[Align]

No evidence to it. Well, before ZX... Maybe Zero, considering Andrew was a baker (IIRC), but more likely he baked for humans.

[Flame]

I read that as "He baked Humans."

[Align]

Do not reject cereal.

[Saber]

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.

Grey can refill the lifebar with food items, if that counts.

[Zan]

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.

[Align]

Including sex, presumably.

[Flame]

little reploid kids are made SOMEHOW.
although I remember Command mission also having a reploid kid talking about his "mother"

[Romantic Fool]

Robot sex?

[Zan]

Less like robots, more like people.

Unless you're thinking of those weird procreating mechaniloids.

[Blackhook]

  great, now I can see all the fanfics that will be written now.....altough
