- "Maverick Hunters and Reploid researchers are all liars! I may end up betrayed and deleted! So I will delete you first!"
- ―Commander Yammark, Mega Man X6
Commander Yammark (コマンダー・ヤンマーク Komandā Yanmāku) is a dragonfly-themed Reploid and one of the eight Nightmare Investigators found in Mega Man X6.
Characteristics[]
Commander Yammark is a male Reploid with a design inspired by a dragonfly. This can be seen in the large eye-like gems on his helmet, four wings on his back, and tail-like appendage. His armor is primarily deep green in color, and he has a red visor through which only his eyes can be seen. Like all of Gate's creations, he possesses a rhombus-shaped gem in his forehead. He appears overall more humanoid in design than the other Nightmare Investigators.
Yammark is a dutiful and hot-blooded servant of Gate. He seems to have developed trust issues due to being betrayed in the past, refusing to cooperate with the Maverick Hunters and instead lashing out because of this paranoia.
History[]
Mega Man X6[]
Commander Yammark was originally created by Gate to support forest preservation projects, becoming the leader of an ecological observation team. In order to ensure the most thorough investigations, he is equipped with the Yammar Option, independent dragonfly Mechaniloids that act as his eyes and ears. While on duty he once accidentally set a fire that burned a large portion of a forest due to control disorder. He wasn't accused of the incident, but some time later, someone sabotaged his flight system, leading to a crash that killed him.
Gate later resurrected Yammark to aid in the investigation of the Nightmare, being responsible for researching the Nightmare Insects and other phenomena in the Amazon Area. Due to what happened to him, he developed paranoia, being distrustful towards Reploid researchers and Maverick Hunters, and attacked the Hunters when they checked what he was doing, leaving them no choice but to destroy him.
Strategy[]
Commander Yammark surrounds himself with dragonfly drones. He begins the battle with three, and may summon up to six dragonflies, depending on how much health he has. They can be destroyed by the player's attacks.
Yammark and his drones operate in formations. In default formation, the drones attack based on the player's character. As X, they fire shots horizontally (or directly at the player in Xtreme mode), which the X-Buster can destroy. As Zero, the drones fly at the player like missiles, though the Z-Saber can deflect them, potentially hitting Yammark to briefly stun him. Besides the default formation, Yammark has three other formations he uses to attack.
Yammark is the easiest of the eight Nightmare Investigators to defeat with base weaponry such as the X-Buster, but falls even faster to his weakness, Ray Arrow/Rekkoha.
