Colonel Redips is the main villain of RPG [[Mega Man X: Command Mission]], being involved in a plot twist which revealed him as the true villain. Colonel Redips has only appeared in a single game so far and it's not likely that he will return.

History

The fictional commander of the Far Eastern division of the Maverick Hunters, charged with resolving the conflict in Giga City. As a last resort to launching an indiscriminate attack, Redips dispatched a small team of Maverick Hunters -- X, Zero, and a Reploid named Shadow -- to investigate an energy signal in the Lagrano Ruins area of Giga City. Redips made sporadic contact with X over the course of the conflict, ending in a personal appearance immediately after the destruction of Epsilon. He accepted the Supra-Force Metal that X, Zero, and Axl found in Epsilon's remains, congratulated them, and arranged for an escort out of Giga City for them all.

The escort fleet arrived and opened fire on the waiting Maverick Hunters, destroying Chief R in a hail of bullets and driving X and company into hiding. Redips soon appeared on television, declaring that X was a traitor and proclaiming peace for "all Reploids like us." The small group of Maverick Hunters infiltrated the Far Eastern HQ and confront Redips, who after a brief fight revealed that he was the hunter named Spider from the beginning (Redips is "Spider" spelled backwards). Redips had the same shape-changing ability as Axl (increased exponentially by Supra-Force Metal), so altering his body and voice back and forth between Redips and Spider during the conflict was no problem for him. He escaped to the top of the orbital tower Babel and infused his body with two enormous chunks of Supra-Force Metal, transforming himself into a mechanical monstrosity which ultimately proved less invincible than he had hoped against X and his friends.

With his power gone, Redips assumed his original form and lay dying. When X asked why he became Maverick, he spat back:

"Maverick? You seem more Maverick to me, with all your stubborn nonsense about friendship and your unwillingness to evolve. [...] Stay in our place, be friendly to all, decade after decade, indefinitely... Is this all Reploids will ever be? Some day, you'll see... we'll... change the world..."
