A CopyBot, known as Copyroid (コピーロイド, Kopīroido) in Japan, is a machine used in Mega Man Battle Network 6 and Rockman.EXE Beast. It is a humanoid-shaped machine which, when a NetNavi is inserted into it, will allow the NetNavi to move in the real world. A CopyBot will take on the likeness of the Navi inserted.

While CopyBots aren't normally able to use Battle Chips or attacks and can only be used for a short period, modified ones are shown to be able to attack. Colonel’s one (modified by Wily ^[1]) used Screen Divide to destroy Sky Town's weather computer. They can also have a longer duration, such as the one used by Iris.

History

• Iris uses a CopyBot to wander around in the human world, enabling her to keep an eye on Lan and aid him as needed.
• In the Central Town Expo, there are hundreds of CopyBots. When Lord Wily introduced himself, HeelNavis occupied all of them and went on a rampage in Cyber City.
• Two gigantic CopyBots are used by Wily to allow Gregar and Falzar to appear in the human world. However, the Cybeasts were quickly followed into the CopyBot's systems by MegaMan, Colonel and Iris and were deleted for good before they could cause any harm.
• At the end of the series, Lan receives a CopyBot as a graduation present from an anonymous source. It was generally believed to be the same CopyBot that Iris used, and is now used by MegaMan to spend time in the real world.

Copyroids were invented by Makoto Aoki.

Although not specifically stated, it is hinted that the Tadashi Hikari of Beyondard also created Copyroids. ^[3]
