Martian Crystal Technology
From Megaman Mush Wiki
Robots whose designs were based on those from Mars are called Reavers or Reaverbots. Some distinction is sometimes made between the type of Reaver drone used by Ra Moon on Mars, and the type that now exists on Earth, which can be a drone but can also be built in to an intellegent entity as smart as a reploid.
This technology works with a series of resonant crystals. Laid together in a pattern like fiber-optics, microscopic vibrations are sent down the crystals as tiny waves of sound, sending signals from one crystal to another. Reaver drones had crystalline layouts like those of the nervous system of unintelligent animals, and could be given binary signals by remote to perform the will of their controller.
When Maverick Overclock found several still working Reaver drones and studied the principle, he made an attempt to replicate the layout of a human-like nervous system using the fine crystals. It took several attempts to replicate this process perfectly, though he finally succeeded in the form of CM-O-E-09 Ninetails, the first fully intelligent Reaver. This was followed by CM-O-M-05 Echo, the first modular Reaver design.
From here, Reaver technology was replicated by several members of the Repliforce, starting with Cortana, and Reaver designs such as Hippopressor were inducted in to the Force.
Loud vibrations sent in to the crystal matrices in these robots can confuse the signals they are receiving, and, at higher frequencies, shatter some of the small crystals altogether, hence the weakness to sonic type weaponry that all of this technology shares. This weakness was even shared by Ra Moon himself, and anyone he enhanced with his abilities.
Weapons designed with these crystal power sources are more efficient than average, allowing for greater compression of energy in to a small space. However, current Reaverbot nervous 'network' designs result in figures much larger than a human being, as the system is literally trying to replicate a human nervous system with parts on a larger scale.
