The Not Yet Shown X-Antibody Digimon from MonMon Memo

[MarcFBR]

Time for another one!



It's time for MonMon Memo 37! This time it's the not yet shown X-Antibody Digimon!


The other day Rasenmon Rage Mode and Rasenmon were announced for the Digimon X2 Red and Purple! It took less than a month for the lineup to be revealed!


In the X2, there are a total of 18 new X-Antibody Digimon.

Of the new X-Antibody Digimon, 12 of them were shown on the reservation page, including the Seven Great Demon Lords (not including Beelzebumon X, who appeared previously.)


The remaining 6 have slowly been published via various ways: V-Jump, Twitter, Digimon Web, etc. But this time we will show off all six of the Digimon together a bit more formally.



Agumon (Black) X, MetalGreymon (Virus) X, Ogremon X, Vamdemon X, LadyDevimon X, and Mephismon X!

Agumon (Black) X (in the Red) is an important child level Digimon that has the same position as Impmon X in the Purple (who was already introduced.) These two are the ones it's recommended to do first. Hints about this are in MonMon Memo 35- Road to the Devil!


This is where the introduction to the new X-Antibody Digimon from the X2 is over!

Stay tuned to the Digimon X2 Red and Purple which can still be pre-ordered..

See you next time!




Also, not from MonMon Memo, but related... we have short profile info for Agumon (Black) X!

Due to the influence of the X-Antibody, it's become a ferocious Digimon. Agumon follows it's wild instincts and hunts ferociously due to it's high aggression. It runs wildly and can cause a dreadful scene.

Wow with clear pic of MetalGreymon (Virus) X, that metal helmet doesn't resembles to GaiOumon's after all. It got Diablomon X's horns and the front horn of GaiOumon but way longer! And less shark-like helmet of MetalGreymon X... But I like that red bags under its eyes. Its wings are so completely different from MetalGreymon X's, it's like flaming butterfly wings fused with afterburner torch. Besides few extra metal pads on the legs and the cannon chest, IS THAT METAL BLADE ON THAT ELBOW?

Vamdemon X got long feet? Not sure if his sleeves are oversized or I cannot see his hands...

But I have to admit, seeing the whole list of all the Virus types with X forms are pretty much freakiest and edgiest monster designs ever... So much less As'Maria crystal gems but more "X" almost everywhere. This second series of V-pet is way beyond awesome....

 

[Chimera-gui]

Is that Myotismon's face-mask on his chest?

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

Yeah it has same eyes color as that VenomVamdemon's crotch mask's! Even same shape of the mask...

 

[YongYoKyo]

Yeah it has same eyes color as that VenomVamdemon's crotch mask's! Even same shape of the mask...

The shape is very different. VenomVamdemon's "true" face uses a very simplistic and generic mask shape, not a stylistic bat-wing design. I do agree the completely blue eyes are similar, but that could just be attributed to the fact that regular Vamdemon has blue eyes to begin with.

 

[Katsu Hikaru]

I love these X antibodies but wow even Blackagumon X is different from his Vaccine counterpart not having a full row of teeth, shorter claws, Longer neck(from what i see), and a different stripe pattern.

Makes me wonder and a bit disappointed why Blackwargreymon X is not really different from Wargreymon X oh well was thinking we may get a new Greymon form but that's probably unlikely.

The intent is most likely that BlackAgumon X is supposed to be a recolor of Agumon X. Ignoring the slight anatomical differences, BlackAgumon X retains the core changes that Agumon X had from regular Agumon (stripes on the body, a discolored belly [kinda hard to notice on BlackAgumon X], and the claws are metallic in color instead of bone-white).
The anatomical difference is probably attributed to the difference in artists and art styles, and that BlackAgumon X's artist chose to stylize him closer to the regular (Black)Agumon.

Even regular Agumon has widely different designs due to various different artists and art styles. Sometimes he's depicted with 10-12 visible teeth, sometimes he's depicted with 20+ teeth. Sometimes he has short claws or long claws, small head or big head, yellow skin or orange-yellow skin, etc.

 

[Muur]

The colour of the stripes do show it's probably supposed to be the form before DarkTyrannomon X, which unlike others I don't mind at all. I mean, the BlackAgumon in World DS becomes DarkTyrannomon during the story, so it's not like it's new anyway lol, and makes him more unique than just getting Greymon like his Orange brother

I also get the feeling that the artist responsible for this artwork was purposely invoking Big Agumon from the movie:

I'm not even the first to notice the similarity as people on the Twitter post were pointing out too.

 

[SnowAgumonGemini]

Oh wow. VamdemonX is designed with his arms and cape all fused together into giant jeweled bat wings. It looks as if the mask on his face completely covers, blinding his humanoid eyes so my guess is he might be able to “see” using the blue eyes on his cape-clasp mask.

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

Hmm interesting. Makes me wonder if that mask is actually the upgraded X form of the "crotch" mask or not. If it does, damn Vamdemon never dies that easily in many forms, eh? We must call for an exorcist...

Yes! That's the first thing that came to my mind too.
It does seem a bit weird now that BlackWargreymon X is so similar as Katsau Hikaru pointed out. Maybe we need a BlitzGreymon X.
As someone who wasn't initally keen on X mons, I've really enjoyed this batch. They've done some cool stuff to reinvent the designs,

Holy crap i completely forgot about Blitzgreymon that could be a possibility since Metalgreymon X(Virus) for some reason change from an all around fighter to more of a range one like Rizegreymon but regardless I'm glad Black Agumon X and Metalgreymon X(Virus) have difference then their normal forms but gets me guessing why no Greymon X(blue)?

 

[McGann]

I wouldn't mind if they just retconned Greymon (Xros Wars) to be the X form. He looks the part.

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

It'd make more sense if we actually get BlitzGreymon X, the railgun arm to electric dual conductor gatling thingies then we will have Agumon for WarGreymon/VictoryGreymon and BlackAgumon for BlackWarGreymon/BlitzGreymon. I pity VictoryGreymon while Blitz gets... more popular.

BlackGreymon X will never happen but I think I may suspect DarkTyranomon was selected rather than BlackGreymon due to the whole staff's choosing preferences? Or chosen simply for easy recolor like Tyranomon X with only few differences of its claw and fins? Sorry we will have patience to pray for BlackGreymon X next time...
Incomplete evo lines make me so frustrated sometimes... Yeah.
