Summary
Colonel Redips is X's commanding officer at the Maverick Hunters' Far East HQ during the events of Mega Man X: Command Mission. A reasonable and just leader at a glance, he sends X, Zero, and Shadow into Giga City to defeat the Rebellion led by Epsilon lest a full-scale assault be mounted that would lead to countless casualties. However, X and his allies would soon find that Redips is not all that he appeared to be.

Intelligence: A master of manipulation, he successfully orchestrated the events of the Giga City Incident to obtain both Supra Force Metals, leaving X and Zero, both veteran Maverick Hunters, shocked at his betrayal. He is also an excellent actor, having masqueraded as Spider for much of the Hunters' journey without arousing suspicion. In combat, he primarily fights with his batons, proving to be capable enough to challenge X and Zero for a time before being defeated. However, Redips is exceedingly arrogant, believing in his superiority and need to evolve, a mentality which quickly became a full-blown god complex after obtaining the Supra Force Metals. This led to his undoing when he failed to notice Ferham's attempts to pry off the Supra Force Metal while he was in the midst of battling the Maverick Hunters, blasting her off with such force that it ultimately removes the Supra Force Metal from his body, leaving him vulnerable once more.
Weaknesses: Redips is extremely arrogant, particularly after gaining the Supra-Force Metals, and has a major god complex. | As Great Redips, he does not seem to be able to physically reach his shoulders, allowing a sufficiently swift and powerful character to rip a Supra Force Metal off before he can properly react, weakening him and removing his barrier or his regeneration depending on whether or not Supra Force Metal L or R was ripped off. His Supra Force Metal's functions can temporarily be deactivated if it is sufficiently damaged, nullifying the barrier that weakens attacks aimed against him specifically.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Code Red: Redips calls in two Red Hubcaps, flying Mechaniloids armed with solar machine guns and elemental weaponry, to aid him in battle.

- Grand Cross: Redips swings both of his batons, releasing an x-shaped energy wave.
