'''Guardroid σ''' is an enemy from the final stage, [[Sigma Palace]], which is a Guardroid transformed into [[Sigma]]. While powerful, they are no where near as strong as the special [[Copy Sigma]] in [[Gateway]], nor the real [[Sigma/Mega Man X8|Sigma]] himself. These Guardroids have three attacks: erecting a barrier, shooting three projectiles, or lunging with a saber slash.

Guardroid σs first appear briefly in the beginning of the game emerging from the wreckage of an orbital elevator transport container, taking the form of [[Sigma]]. This shocks [[Mega Man X (character)|X]], making him believe he's facing an army of his nemesis' clones, until [[Lumine]], the director of the Jakob Project, emerged from the group and explained that they needed to copy a sturdy body to protect themselves during the accident. The Guardroids then reverted to their original forms without incident.

X8Guardroid

The standard Guardroid.

Guardroid (ガードロイド) is a New Generation Reploid and a common enemy soldier in Mega Man X8. Except for Guardroid VR and Guardroid σ, Axl can copy any Guardroid to transform into a standard Guardroid.

Varieties

Guardroid

Guardroids are mass-produced, general-purpose Reploid soldiers that appear in many locations throughout Mega Man X8. They come in several varieties equipped with different weaponry, such as energy sabers, blasters, lasers, cannons, flamethrowers, missile launchers, liquid nitrogen sprayers, and grenades. Some also use a light shield to deflect attacks or a heavy shield which can't be guard breaked.

  • Guardroid: The standard Guardroids that appear in several stages.
  • Guardroid COM: Blaster-carrying Guardroids summoned when intruders are caught in the searchlights in the stage Pitch Black.
  • Guardroid FIG: Saber-wielding Guardroids summoned when intruders are caught in the searchlights in the stage Pitch Black.
  • Guardroid FLY: Guardroids equipped with jetpacks to grant them limited flight capabilities. They only appear in the stage, Jakob.
  • Guardroid HIG: Guardroids equipped with heavy firepower such as cannons and homing missiles. May use a light shield to deflect attacks. They appear in the stages Booster Forest,Inferno, and Sigma Palace.
  • Guardroid KNI: High-ranking Guardroids assigned to protect the Jakob Project, that may use a light shield to deflect attacks or use bazookas and homing missiles. They only appear in the stage, Jakob.
  • Guardroid LIG: Guardroids given sentry duty. May use a light shield to deflect attacks. They appear in the stages Pitch Black, Inferno, Jakob, and Sigma Palace.


Guardroid VR

Guardroid VR is a virtual Guardroid equipped with a jetpack that appears in the seventh virtual reality test of Optic Sunflower's stage, Troia Base.

Depending on the results from the previous tests, there are three variations of this Guardroid. In the lowest difficulty, only one Guardroid equipped with a giant hammer will appear, and in the intermediate difficulty, the Guardroid is able to switch between a hammer and a vulcan gun. In the highest difficulty, two Guardroids will appear, one equipped with a hammer and the other with a vulcan gun.


Guardroid σ

Guardroid σ is an enemy from the final stage, Sigma Palace, which is a Guardroid transformed into Sigma. While powerful, they are no where near as strong as the special Copy Sigma in Gateway, nor the real Sigma himself. These Guardroids have three attacks: erecting a barrier, shooting three projectiles, or lunging with a saber slash.

The σ is the lowercase form of the Greek letter sigma, showing they are inferior to the uppercase Σ associated with the real Sigma.

They also appear in TEPPEN in the card New-Generation Reploids, alongside Lumine.

The animations of the unused Guardroid.

  • In the playable character model folder of the PC version of Mega Man X8, there is a file called "PL_BOKO" containing an unused version of the Guardroid, which resembles a ninja. It does not seem to have an unique ability aside from the normal dash, and any projectiles it might have been able to shoot are not in the game files.[1]
