I was wondering about the Hanmuru Doll too. Its silhouette appears very clearly in the wallpaper, and it's definitely one of the heavy-hitters as far as Reaverbots go (in attack patterns and user popularity, according to the old official MMLS Reaverbot polls).

Man, 41 reaverbots and they only want me to choose 5?!?! I found it interesting that the MoTB guys were there too, but I couldn't really vote for them as I've never played that game and don't have any real experience with them. Ah well, here are my picks:
Mimic: Yeah, I had to cast a vote for this guy. Mimics are pretty iconic to the series, and I'd no doubt be interested to see what crazy stuff they have planned for him this time around. What's next, arms in addition to legs? XD
Firushudot: A personal favorite from MML1. I wonder if the novelty of the water walls will appear in MML3 (should he be chosen), but either way he's still a cool reaver. Gotta love the gator motif!
Norieibi: I've always been a fan of water creatures, what can I say? I like both sizes of them, too; the little ones only attack when provoked, and the big ones attack when you spot them. Makes you wonder if they've got another underwater ruin planned or something.
Gorubeshu: This guy's a classic IMO. Keeps the whole 'Sniper Joe' spirit alive while having that unique Legends flavor we all know and love. They make wonderful Lifter fodder too!
Snowlbit: Don't know why I love these things so much. Could be my innate fondness of snow-themed areas, I suppose. I like their feistiness, especially since they're the only enemies that are capable of breaking Megaman's grip. I really do hope we get another snow/ice themed area, which is quite possible given the main island having a huge mountain and all that.
Also, I can't help but wonder who'd pick Shoebafun. I just want that thing to die and never come back. :40:

What, no Hammuru? BLASPHEMY. Unless it will be in, which I hope, such an iconic Reaver...
Oh, and some never before seen concept artwork? QUICK, EVERYBODY SAVE THEM.

They ought to be taking like the top 20 or 30 voted for from the list and imputting them into Legends 3 or something. I can't imagine just 5 out of all of those making it into the game... That'd make them (Capcom) seem more flat out crazy than they already are. :15: edit: Holy crap I worded that wrong.

I don't think they're only going to pick five. They're just letting us pick five. Which is a lot nicer than just being able to pick one, actually. I kind of expect them to go with about ten or fifteen from past games.

Karubun, Gorubeshu, Firushudot, Miroc, and Miitan are my choices. For some reason, I can't see us having a Legends game without a Miroc or Gorubeshu, and I really liked Miitan's(especially compared to Fooroo's). Karubun's were an awesome, unique looking reaver that I was disappointed didn't show up anywhere in MML2, and Firushudots are still the most intimidating things in MML1.
Edit: Also, if you read the post they said they're also considering comments--so if you want to cast another "vote", they suggest posting a thoughtful and persuasive case for any other reavers you want in there.

I voted for Canaam, Kuruguru, Miroc, Mimic and some other Reaverbot who I already forgot about, maybe it was Poh? I dunno..
I find them my choices to be of iconic Reaverbots. Different, innovative and creative Reaverbots are good and all, but I still have a fondest for the iconic kinds.
Ultimately I think I voted mostly ones who appeared in Legends 1...

Hey, voting to see what Reaverbots the fans want again? Awesome, but I hope they're not going to make these the only returning Reaverbots; hopefully some of there will make it into the game even though they didn't do well on this poll. I mean, some of these should be just as standard as the Horroko and Sharkurusu, like the Mimic, the Kuruguru, or the Gorubeshu- especially the Gorubeshu, seeing as it pretty much rivals the confirmed two in terms of 'iconic reaverbot' status (it was in as many games as the Horroko, y'know!) I also wish they didn't have us picking only five choices. With 41 Reaver options, it would be better if we could pick eight or ten- five just feels restrictive and counterproductive, but oh well. :06: My first choice will of course be the Gorubeshu, for obvious reasons- they're one of my favorite Reavers in the series, and always seemed like a good standard, in addition to having great 'player sandbox' potential (lifter-obtainable shields ala MMZ4, anyone? : D) . Other considerations for the list, a mix of what I feel should be standards and just those that are my favorites, include Kuruguru, Mimic, Miroc, Mirumijee, and Nakel (all featuring in more than one game), as well as Habarool, Fritto, Cannam, Karuban, and Juraid (favorites of mine which have only been in one game). Now, in regards to voting for the Arukoitan/Orudakoitan- while both have been known to operate independently of each other (like in MoTB), their main method is to work in cooperation, and indeed the on-site description implies that this is the case. As much as I like the 'classic Reaverbot' prestige of them, I'm leaving them off my votes due to that factor- too much unknown-ness about how they work in this poll. Hopefully others will vote for them, or at least Mr. Famous and the Developers will just consider putting them in on their own. :17: It'll be interesting to see how this poll goes and what the general fan reaction is, that's for sure. :22:

If anything, if only Arukoitan or Orudakoitan were going to be in the game, then I'd prefer Arukoitan. It can at least do something. <_<
And yes I'm aware that Oru' could shoot fireballs in one of the rooms of the Kattelox Ruins, but that still wasn't much.

My votes went to: Milmijii - because somebody around here has to stick up for snakes. Miroc - they may be iconic, but still easily overlooked. Despite their reputation as Zenny-givers, they were never really good sources of Zenny farming because their shard quantity-to-size ratio was too small to make it worthwhile (MML1) or they were too rare and elusive (MML2), that one respawning King Miroc being the exception. If they show up again, I hope the developers are nice and give us a place where a small swarm of them can be rounded up for good exploitation potential. Karubun - like IC, I felt this guy has untapped potential. It's one of the only reavers with a heavy artillery focus while most others are stuck with melee attacks, flamethrowers, or self-destruction. It makes a good warhorse, so it often comes to my mind when thinking of top Reaverbots that didn't get much of a chance. Kuruguru - Probably won't stand a chance, if the opinions in this thread are any indication. I like their concept though, and my reasons are laid out in that thread too. Juraid - these guys are just fun. The way they move is always a sight to behold. Not sure why people are so shocked to see Hammuldoll left out. It's basically a boss reaverbot, and bosses are mostly excluded from that list, that's all. I was surprised to note that Engurpots was spelled with a "p" there and it's not a typo, unless the Japanese side made a typo too. It was always "b" everywhere I looked previously. It's an easy mixup to make with Japanese, expecially when the writing the publish is particularly tiny. "Gorobesshu" IS a typo though. The second "o" should be a "u", or just simplify it to "Golbesh" as I do (and it seems to be catching on with Pitch at least). That one's on Greg. There are a few typos in there actually, he must have had to rush on these. I think he may have consulted MMLS for some of the names at least, else I'm not sure how he would know to separate Bal Kacche into two words like that (that was always my perogative to drive hom the Berg Katse reference.) On Arukoitan/Orudakoitan, I think separating them into two entries like that hurts their chances actually. If everyone votes for one considering that to be a vote for both, then the total number of votes for "both" is effectively split in half. Maybe the Devs will realize this and add the two totals during consideration.

The Japanese devroom's reboot had Bonne spelled wrong for a while (it was recently corrected from Born). I've got a hunch Greg's translating a lot of this stuff on his own from scratch, hence the typos. And the use of 'operator' instead of 'spotter' in Roll's bio.
...Though in the first Game Club, he and Snow definitely had a copy of the Prima guide on them.

I cannot remember the names of these things for the life of me, besides the simpler ones like mimic. I can memorize hundreds of Pokemon, but not these guys…sigh...
Anyway, I’m going to wait a day or two before making my final decision, I’m not sure if I’m going to vote for my favourites or for the underdogs. I mean, I have a feeling mimic is going to make it in no matter what, so maybe I’ll take that vote and use it for another reaverbot. It’s too bad that Wolfon isn’t on the list, I really liked them since they scared the crap out of me when I played the MML2 demo for the first time! It’s all about first impressions!

My first choice will of course be the Gorubeshu, for obvious reasons- they're one of my favorite Reavers in the series, and always seemed like a good standard, in addition to having great 'player sandbox' potential (lifter-obtainable shields ala MMZ4, anyone? : D) . I've got my fingers crossed that MegaMan Legends 3's equivalent of the Shield Arm will be based on the Golbesh shield, myself. Golbesh shield would be very cool. (I've also got similar hopes for that Sharukurusu Claw, but that's another story...)"Gorobesshu" IS a typo though. The second "o" should be a "u", or just simplify it to "Golbesh" as I do (and it seems to be catching on with Pitch at least) Aye, I've always found “Gorubeshu” to be such a mouthful. Your pronunciation of “Golbesh” flows much more nicely when read, is easier to type, and easy enough to recognize; so I've started adopting it myself. I've also been using the “Milmijii” spelling, though it comes up far less often. I've tried applying the idea to other reavers, but it just doesn't flow as nicely. Ah well.

I would have voted for Hanmuru and Karumuna Bash...but they weren't on the list! They probably were considered bosses and so not included.
So, since Horrokos and Sharukurusus are already set in stone, my votes broken down into this:
Legends 1: Gorubeshu (the Shield guys, I always liked these guys) Karubun (the four legged tanks from Sub Cities and the Main Gate)
MOTB: Habarool (I never played MOTB, but these guys always looked like the most awesome reaverbots in the game from screenshots)
Legends 2: Mimic (gotta have them) Mandomantal (I don't know why, but I totally fell in love with this slow moving swimming reaverbot that you could hitch a ride on, or, if you were evil, blast enough to send it slowly spiraling down into a crash)

I still occasionally go back and forth on which spelling for an enemy name to use myself. On the one hand it's good to start the trend to refer to these guys by names that are easier to spell/pronounce, but on the other hand consistency occasionally wins out and having a bunch of different names floating around just makes it more confusing for people like TronBonne up there. I think we have a shot at pushing Golbesh and Milmijii. I'm less confident about establishing a better spelling for Sharukurusu, partly because so many fans have that one memorized despite its excessive syllables, and partly because I can't even decide which of those four "u"s gets the silent treatment. Shalkurus is the best I've come up with.
Wow, I'm surprised they went to the trouble there. The Japanese usually don't care about spelling in english that badly, they mainly use the roman letters because they look cool (the way westerners tend to employ kanji just because it looks cool to us). They must be aware that english fans are checking this site even though we can't entirely read it and are going for at least a bit of consistency.
I doubt Engurpots was a typo though. That's what their katakana says repeatedly now. It was likely always meant to be that but someone misread that po kana as bo way back when it was printed the first time in Perfect Memories or wherever.
