The X-Models were the first of Aku's robot army before the Beetle Drones and Mantoids.
Appearance[]
The X-series robots are humanoid, with broad shoulders and skeleton-like features. They were usually equipped with mobster-style clothing and dual energy pistols. They had large, circular red eyes that glow.
Based on their appearance, the X-Models may share some design features with the Ultra-Robots or with the assassin robot Scaramouche.
Description[]
According to X-49, the X-series was much more adept than the preceding Beetle Drones in killing their quarry. It was only after every other X-Model was destroyed that he discontinued his line of work killing for Aku and went into retirement. The key factor in differentiating X-49 from the others in the X-series was an experimental emotion chip that a quirky mad scientist installed in him, which eventually lead to his decommissioning at the hands of Jack in Episode L: Tale of X-49.
The X-Models were eventually replaced with various drone robots (Such as Aku's Beetle Drones), despite the latter series of robots being highly ineffective against Jack on most occasions where he fought them. There also existed the Robot Thugs who were almost identical to the X-Models but had more smooth humanoid faces and lacked trench-coats.
Despite their obsolescence, a lone X-Model was seen being interviewed by Mako the Scribe as he collected rumors and myths about Samurai Jack, with this X-Model claiming that Jack may have been a member of his pal's barbershop quartet.
They were likely erased from existence after the past Aku's destruction.

Trivia[]
- Their overall attire and X-49's character are a throwback to early-mid 20th century noir characterizations and outfits, especially those popularized by Humphrey Bogart's character Sam Spade in the film adaptation of The Maltese Falcon.
