Revision as of 23:37, 20 November 2019

Prime universe
(Capcom's primary storyline)

T-00 was a Tyrant T-103 sent into Raccoon City during the 1998 Raccoon City Destruction Incident. T-00 was one of six within the T-103 series that were airlifted into the city, and was given instructions to recover a G-Virus sample from the pendant of Sherry Birkin and kill any surviving officers and civilians found in the Raccoon Police Department ^[1] where it began a hunt of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield who were trying to escort Sherry to safety.

Biography

Mission Preparation

Following the demise of the UBCS, Article 12 of Umbrella's Internal Emergency Procedures was enacted, and all materials and personnel still within the city were placed under the command of Colonel Sergei Vladimir.^[1] When it was discovered Delta Force had infiltrated Umbrella's facilities, Col. Vladimir prepared an SH-60B Seahawk for B.O.W. deployment. T-00, however, was dropped over the Raccoon Police Station with its own mission. It had two orders: first, to eliminate any police survivors,^[1] and second to locate the G-Virus.^[2]^{[excerpt 1]} T-00 crashed through the roof of the 2F east passage,^[3]^[4] but by this point only three police officers were left.

The police station was soon after abandoned by survivors Leon S. Kennedy, Ada Wong, Claire Redfield and Sherry Birkin. T-00, having spotted at least one within the station, began pursuing them into the sewers, and finally into NEST. T-00 discovered Kennedy and Wong on level B4. In the ensuing fight, he seriously wounded Wong, but fell off a ledge after being shot in the face. Falling into molten metal, T-00 suffered serious burns, but was able to climb out of the vat on level B8. Confronting a survivor, he mutated into his Super Tyrant form. With the help of Wong, who threw the survivor an FIM-92 Stinger, T-00 lost the fight and was destroyed.

Further notes

Over the years T-00 has been given nicknames. The earliest nickname in official media was "Mr. X", which was chosen by Toy Biz for their 'Series 2' action figure (released May 1998) in lieu of a name provided by Capcom. The Pocket Books novel, Resident Evil: City of the Dead (released May 1999), has Claire Redfield pick "Mr. X" as a nickname from a list also including "Frankenstein's monster"; "Terminator" and "Dr. Evil".^[5] The same nickname was used in Resident Evil: The Official Comic Magazine#4 (published December 1998), wherein "Mr. X" was the actual name of the series, with duplicates of the original game's T-002 being "Tyrants". Capcom, however, did not acknowledge this nickname, and in the 2010 game, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, T-00 is instead nicknamed "Coated Bastard" (コート野郎), or "Trenchy" in the English dub.
In the original Resident Evil 2, once the T-00 is downed players will be able to pick up different ammunition on certain occasions by examining his body. This only works in the story portion of the game.
The inclusion of a fedora to the T-00's outfit in the remake was to emphasize its intended purpose for covert operations. The T-00 was also made physically shorter for the same purposes, as it now appears more human from a distance.^[6]
In the remake, the T-00 has a more tempered personality. During its pursuit of the player, it will frequently crack its neck and show subtle signs of irritation when presented with resistance or receiving damage. This temper is shown if the player shoots off his hat, causing him to charge for the player, instead of his usual walking pace. While in its Super Tyrant form, it will roar furiously at the player multiple times during their final encounter with it.
Developers of the Resident Evil 2 remake stated in an interview that there's only one Tyrant and that the stories are parallel to each other.^[7]^{[excerpt 2]}
In the remake's Hardcore difficulty, 2 shots from the anti-tank rocket are needed, as opposed to just 1 on Standard, in order to bring the Super Tyrant down.
During its concept stage, the T-00 was originally supposed to wield a large gun. This concept was passed onto the Nemesis-T Type.
T-00 originally only chased and followed the character used in the B Scenario and would not be seen entirely by the other character in the A Scenario.
- Additionally, the T-00 would lose its coat after falling in a smelting pit. In Claire B, the Tyrant is chasing Sherry Birkin for the G-Virus within her pendant, allowing Claire to toss it into the smelting pot with the Tyrant joining the pendant shortly. In Leon B, Leon is cornered by the Tyrant and is rescued by Ada, who fires multiple shots to the Tyrant's face, eventually causing to fall into the pot, but it is able to wound Ada severely.
- The T-00's final encounter would also be near the emergency train itself, obstructing the B Scenario's character from boarding the train after they finish connecting the plugs to open the railway's gate. Like the remake, the Tyrant would be blown to bits by a Rocket Launcher tossed in by Ada Wong.

-Exploring the station, he located and killed Ben Bertolucci. T-00 then ran into survivors Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy, and stalked both of them through the police station. T-00 managed to grab Leon when the officer tried to exit the parking garage, but was briefly incapacitated when he was hit by a SWAT van driven by [[Ada Wong]], before the van exploded, allowing Leon and Ada to flee. He then briefly pursued Claire when she came through the parking garage, chasing her through the streets of Raccoon City. Following her to the nearby orphanage, T-00 ambushed Claire and [[Sherry Birkin]]. Chasing them through the basement of the orphanage, T-00 managed to corner them within an elevator leading to the sewers. While attempting to tear the elevator open, T-00 was ambushed and seriously injured by a mutated Dr. [[William Birkin]].
-Whether T-00 survived the encounter with Dr. Birkin or not is unknown.<ref group="note">Due to the remake's contradictory nature, it is uncertain if these are two separate T-103s, or if Claire's encounter is non-canon. Nor is it certain how these relate to other tellings of the same story by Noboru Sugimura and Shōtarō Suga.</ref> However, a T-103 with similar orders to T-00 was encountered within the sewers under the station by Ada, then proceeded to harass Kennedy in the NEST's Greenhouse. It later mutated into its Super Tyrant form after suffering serious injury as the facility began to self-destruct. It battled Kennedy on a cargo elevator, and was killed by an anti-tank rocket thrown to him by Wong, which destroyed its entire upper body.

 ==Further notes==
-*T-00 has been given a number of nicknames over the years. Claire refers to it as "Mr. X" in the novelization of ''[[Resident Evil 2 (1998 game)|Resident Evil 2]]'', along with "Doctor Evil". "Mr. X" was also used in other U.S. merchandising for ''Resident Evil 2'', such as action figures and comic books. In the English version of ''[[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles]]'', it was nicknamed "Trenchy" by Leon, though he calls him "Coated Bastard" (コート野郎) in the Japanese script.
