D-1000 (ディーサウザンド, Dī-Sauzando) is the boss of the Opening Stage of Mega Man X6. It is comprised of a large, broken-down Mechaniloid and a smaller robot that operates it from above. Upon its defeat, Zero Nightmare arrives to deal the final blow before vanishing.

Strategy

D-1000 mainly attacks by charging into the player. Its body can be hit, but takes minuscule damage; the smaller eye robot is the true target. Striking the eye not only damages it more, but makes the big Mechaniloid crash to the ground, immobilizing it momentarily. The eye orb avoids the player by teleporting from one side to another.

	Shot (Normal) (ショット(普通), Shotto (Futsū))
	D-1000's eye core fires four slow bullets at the player.
	Damage: 3:4:5
	Crush Attack (押し潰し攻撃, Oshi Tsubushi Kōgeki)
	D-1000 moves to crush the player with its body, either by dropping from above or by matching the player's altitude and charging horizontally.
	Damage: 4:6:7
	Shot (Fire Pillar) (ショット(火柱系), Shotto (Hibashira-kei))
	D-1000 spits a fireball that explodes into a tall pillar when it hits the floor. It only uses this attack after losing 50% health.
	Damage: 4:6:7

Trivia

Turbo Cannon

• In Mega Man X DiVE, the weapon Turbo Cannon, known as Thousa-Launcher (サウザランチャー, Sauzaranchā) in Japanese, has a design based on D-1000.
• Despite its health bar displaying Gate's rhombus logo, it is unknown if the D-1000 actually works for Gate. (This may simply be an art oversight, given that Dynamo's health bar also displays Gate's logo, despite Dynamo not working for Gate).
