D-Rex is the boss of Sigma Stage 3 in Mega Man X. It was supposed to be a destructive weapon with about 30 meters length based on Tyrannosaurus rex (hence the name), but by the time that Sigma's hideout was invaded by X, only the head was completed, so it was converted into a tank-like Mechaniloid to be used against him.[1] It is also the last boss of the hideout keeping X from getting into the room where Sigma is located. Due to its outstanding performance, REX-2000 was developed on the basis of D-Rex.[2][3]
Strategy
Mega Man X
D-Rex's top half can detach from the bottom, hovering in the air, and both try to crush and seriously damage X. The bottom can be stood upon, but if X stands there for too long the top will try to crush him. When either section collides with a wall, it can daze X and knock him off. Both sections can also charge up massive electron spheres and fire them. Its main weakness is the Boomerang Cutter.
