Variants are enemies from Mega Man Zero 4. Dr. Weil replaced the Pantheons with them shortly after the events of Mega Man Zero 3. They are similar to the Pantheons in design but there are only 4 types of Variants while there are a wide variety of Pantheons. All of them are probably destroyed after Mega Man Zero 4.
