The insignia of Red Alert

Red Alert (レッドアラート Reddo Arāto) is a syndicate of vigilante Reploids who appear in Mega Man X7.[1] Similar to the Maverick Hunters, they hunted down Mavericks, stepping in where they felt the Hunters slacked, but their practices were oftentimes outside the law, thus causing them to be labeled as Mavericks themselves. Their leader, Red, challenged the Maverick Hunters to a worldwide Maverick-hunting battle. In actuality, they were manipulated by Sigma, under the alias of "the Professor".

History[]

X7 scene18

The "Professor" manipulating Red, the leader of Red Alert, into an allegiance.

Following the multiple battles amongst Reploids and with the world starting to recover from previous disasters thanks to Reploids, X chose to step out of battle growing doubtful of the Maverick Hunters' forceful methods. This crippled the performance of the Hunters, creating a power vacuum which Red took advantage of as an unsanctioned vigilante. His efforts drew in other vigilantes, which led to the formation of Red Alert as a secondary, albeit illegal, force of Hunters. Much like the Maverick Hunters, Red Alert would focus on targeting Mavericks and eliminate them for a price. Although their actions could be seen as noble, they were unlawful in nature and were a persistent problem to the real Maverick Hunters. A Reploid boy known as Axl was amongst its members. Things would, however, change for the worse.

Sigma, at some point, realized the potential in Axl's shapeshifting ability, and decided to infiltrate Red Alert under the alias of "the Professor". He teaches Red how to use the DNA data from Axl's transformations to power up his army. Sooner or later, this power ends up corrupting the generals of Red Alert, turning them into Mavericks. Through Sigma's interference, Red Alert became much more ruthless and indiscriminate in its methods, going so far as to attack innocent Reploids in order to help increase their own powers.

X7 scene21

The "Professor" takes control of Red Alert.

Axl realizes his friends have changed for the worse and feels he must leave Red Alert immediately. This causes controversy when Axl comes across Maverick Hunter Zero and gets involved with not only causing a war between the Maverick Hunters and Red Alert, who issued a challenge in order to get Axl to come back, but also having to take down the people he once held close to him.

It is shown that Red saw through Sigma's evil ways and tried to break ties with him, but it was too late: with Axl already gone and his generals corrupt, he has no option but to fight to win Axl back and bring peace back to his army. Sadly, this doesn't happen. Besides Red, the only generals who were aware of the corruption of their group were Tornado Tonion and Soldier Stonekong, although their specific views on the matter varied: Tonion begged for Axl and the Hunters to retire him to prevent him from causing any more destruction, while Stonekong, due to his warrior mentality, was ultimately unconcerned.

Each one of Red Alert's generals are retired by Zero, Axl and, when he realized the severity of the situation, X. Red battles the Hunters and Axl but loses and ends up dying in a collapsing building part of the Crimson Palace. Red's death marked the end of the Red Alert syndicate, as all current members were retired.
