Armored Armadillo was well-suited to underground fighting, and was capable of burrowing through the
earth when he rolled into a nigh-invincible spinning ball. When not in ball form, his plating could deflect

in eight directions. Topping things off was a concealed blaster mounted in his forehead.
When X defeated Armadillo, he acquired the Rolling Shield, a rolling ball of blue energy which could
bounce off walls. When charged, X could surround himself with a spherical force field which offered
limited protection.
