Colonel

Personality

Colonel is a hot-headed yet dignified Reploid who desires justice. He is extremely protective of his sister, Iris, and shows compassion to all of his subordinates. While he cares deeply for others, his ultimate flaw is his pride of the Repliforce. He will not hesitate to fight to defend his loyalty, and has a strict moral code that forbids him from besmirching Repliforce's name in any way. Because of this, he is very close-minded and oblivious to the effects of his actions. He simply does what he sees is best for Reploids, but does not realize Repliforce has been manipulated by a former and constant nemesis of the Maverick Hunters. In terms of A.I. age, Colonel is a young officer. In the manga, Colonel's motto was to defeat the enemy, protect his subordinates and come home alive. He strongly adhered to the principle that soldiers should not fight those who have lost their will to fight. Colonel also had a sentimental side as a lover of nature. Whenever he was having a hard time, he would visit a tree located in a city center to calm down. He strongly felt that people and nature can blend together in harmony. He has a soft spot for animals.

Appearance

Colonel is a tall, dignified-looking Reploid. His armor is black, yellow, white, and red in color, and is made to look like a long military coat with a collar. His height is so great that he dwarfs X in the ending cutscene of Megaman X4. He wears a hat with its bill pointing downwards. His shoulders bear spherical blue jewels in the center and a sharp spike on the top. He has a yellow tube going across his stomach to his back in his armor. Like most Reploids, his fingers are segmented. Much like Zero who always carried a beam saber, Colonel is almost always seen with Laser Sword, his main weapon. He is around 8 feet tall. Abilities: Shockwave: Colonel slashes with his saber three times, each launching a shockwave low, then high, then finally low. At the Space Port, this move has increased speed. Teleport: Colonel vanishes, suddenly reappearing next to the player with a saber slash which can be avoided by jumping. He then retreats by dashing away, rendering him intangible. Thunder Attack: Colonel summons lightning to his saber and plants it in the floor, spreading electric bolts outwards and upwards. He cries "Energy Breaker!" during the attack. Colonel only uses this move at the Space Port. Giant Shockwave: Colonel leaps into the air and slashes down, unleashing a shockwave that cuts through the ground and grows taller as it travels. He cries "Ground Crush!" during the attack. Colonel only uses this move when his health is reduced to yellow at the Space Port. Colonel is a Reploid who appeared in Megaman X4. He is the main attack leader of Repliforce, and is also Iris's brother. The player fights him at least once; in X's story he is faced at Memorial Hall and then Space Port, while in Zero's story Memorial Hall is a cutscene and Colonel is only fought at Space Port.
