Mega Scorpio (メガ・スコルピオ, Mega Sukorupio) is the boss of the Opening Stage from Mega Man X7. It is a giant scorpion-like Reploid[1] that Red Alert used to track down Axl after he escaped from the Crimson Palace.

Strategy[]

Mega Scorpio's body is invincible, meaning it must be defeated by destroying its tail and claws. Depending on which of its limbs are destroyed first, its attack pattern changes slightly. Zero can reflect its projectiles with his Z-Saber, while Axl can target its specific limbs. Being the game's introductory boss, Mega Scorpio is not very difficult to defeat, though the Tag Assist should help manage the player's health if need be.

  • Mega Scorpio appears in Mega Man X DiVE as the final boss of Gallery in Story mode. Due to glitches, it is capable of speech. After its defeat, it pins the Player under its claw, forcing ViA to come to the rescue. Referencing this moment, Mega Scorpio reappears in the final stage Deep Log for a rematch, for which ViA again has to intervene.
