History VideoGame / MegaManXCommandMission

In the year [[ExtyYearsFromNow 22XX]], a powerful new ore called [[AppliedPhlebotinum Force Metal]] is discovered in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and the artificial island Giga City is constructed to mine it.

With the situation looking tense, a team of elite Maverick Hunters -- X, Zero, and Shadow -- are sent to Giga City to arrest Epsilon and put an end to the civil unrest. Along the way, they are forced to band together with the locals in order to uncover the true, dangerous potential of Force Metal.

Given the major story discrepancies between this game, ''VideoGame/MegaManX8'', and the ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' series, it is generally interpreted that this game is non-canon. However, with the ''X'' series' [[LeftHanging abrupt abandonment]], this remains to be seen.

* BigNo: [[spoiler: X, when Ferham sacrifices herself.]]

* PantyShot: For whatever reason, Cinnamon has these as the only female Reploid with a 3D model ''and'' a skirt in the entire X series.

* ActionCommands: Each character has at least one Action Trigger; in exchange for all of the character's subweapon energy, the Trigger starts up a simple minigame which can unleash some of the game's most impressive attacks.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: X and Zero experience this the most. X is considerably more macho and aggressivea than usual, hardly showing any of his pacifism or reluctance from the main ''X'' series. Zero is also more aggressive, but in a grumpier way.

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: The Rebellion Army's main commanders - Epsilon, Scarface, Ferham, and Botos - are referred to as "the cadres." The word cadre normally refers to a group of people, not an individual. They should be "members of the cadre" if anything.

* DependingOnTheWriter: Some of the returning main cast have subtly different personalities from the mainline games. Axl is more grown-up and level-headed while retaining his boyish charm, while Zero is a bit more reckless, emotional, and headstrong than usual. X has the biggest change, going from a hot-blooded and thoughtful pacifist to a macho action hero who takes down Mavericks with no hesitation. The developers admitted to this latter change, claiming that it made for a more interesting RPG protagonist.

The setting is Giga City, an artificial island in the Pacific Ocean built for mining Force Metal. A team of three Maverick Hunters - X, Zero, and Shadow - are sent to the island to investigate a rebellion of Reploids led by the mysterious Epsilon. From there the Hunters are forced to band together with the locals of Giga City to defeat the Rebellion Army and uncover the truth about Force Metal.

* HateSink: [[WardensAreEvil Silver Horn]] is the [[{{Sadist}} sadistic]] and [[SmugSnake arrogant]] operator of the Tianna POW Camp. Defying the Rebellion Army's [[WellIntentionedExtremist good intentions for the Reploid species]], Silver Horn tortures and murders any Reploids who refuse to join the Rebellion, including the famed hero Steel Massimo. Silver Horn rules over his camp with an iron fist and forces the navigator Nana to act as a sysop under the threat that he will execute all of the [=POWs=] if she doesn't comply. When confronted by the heroes, Silver Horn begins to gleefully torture Nana while [[WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied gloating to Steel Massimo's successor all about how he dealt with his predecessor]] and adds that [[TheSocialDarwinist he believes the weak should serve the strong]]. Witnessing Silver Horn's arrogance and [[ItsAllAboutMe complete disregard for anyone's life but his own]] gives the [[BecomingTheBoast new Massimo the courage to fight]] and the heroes put an end to the sadistic Reploid. A true Maverick, Silver Horn proved to be far more loathsome than his well-intentioned [[BigBad boss]] Epsilon.

* PantyShot: For whatever reason, Cinnamon has these as the only female Reploid with a 3D model ''and'' a skirt in the entire X series. The camera tries to avoid it, but it's arguably a mild case of GettingCrapPastTheRadar.
