Series Information
In-game Appearances:	Mega Man X3 Mega Man X DiVE

REX-2000, piloted by Mad Joey, is the mid-boss of the first Doppler Stage in Mega Man X3. It is a Ride Armor based on the Mechaniloid D-Rex.

REX-2000 attacks by firing shots and small homing missiles at X. The room it appears has a spiked ceiling that is slowly descending. If the player takes too long to destroy the mid-boss, the ceiling will eventually destroy it, first taking the pilot, making the machine stop, then REX-2000 itself.

If Zero is well, he will appear in the beginning of the battle and tries to stop the descending ceiling, stopping it after REX-2000 is destroyed. If Zero is out of action, a ceiling switch at the end of the room will impose a "time limit" for X, blocking his path and making the ceiling reach him unless it is destroyed. The switch's weak point is Triad Thunder.

REX-2000(HANABI), known as MIKOSHI-710 in Japan, is a variation that appeared as the boss of the Mid-Summer Matsuri event stage "Fireworks and Lantern Festival" from Mega Man X DiVE.

The Mad Joey pilot of this variant wears a "Tengu" mask and speaks in Kansai dialect in the Japanese version. He claims that he is destined to perform the great firework for the Matsuri event. "Hanabi" (はなび / 花火) means "Fireworks" in Japanese, while "Mikoshi" is a sacred religious palanquin in Japanese culture.

Tigrex

An unnamed version of REX-2000 appeared as the mid-boss of the event stage in the second Monster Hunter Rise collaboration, "Urgent! Support needed at Shrine Ruins". Its data was mixed with the data from a Tigrex, increasing its speed and giving it a new attack: from time to time, REX-2000 will go to a corner and, doing a thunderous roar, charge forward; the roar leaves the player confused, and the lunge can be lethal on the highest difficulties. It can only be avoided by using a Wirebug that appears in the center of the area during the attack. It is completely autonomous, without Mad Joey piloting it.

As REX-2000 is a Ride Armor, its Tigrex variant can be piloted by the player after it is defeated in the 2022 Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak event stage, "Tremble under the King of the Blood Moon!", as a reproduction of the Wyvern Riding gameplay in which use Wirebugs to control a monster in Monster Hunter Rise. As a Ride Armor, it moves fast, but its jump is weak. Its main attack is charging forward, while its skills are a roar and a missile. It can be riden up to the battle against Mettaur Gigant Volvidon.
