Primary Weapon:
Twin Arm Cannons - Demios now has a Buster cannon on either arm, which can fire regular charged shots and the Pulse Fire mode. Demios's plasma blasts, at full charge, can absorb smaller plasma blasts.

Secondary Weapons:
Shoulder Cannon - Demios has a new shoulder cannon which can act like his other Buster cannons or as a special Plasma Laser mode. The Plasma Laser shoots a laser beam tuned so that plasma that is injected into it moves along the laser at near light speeds. This is exceptionally powerful but has a severe drain on his primary reactor.

Twin Grenade Racks - Like his original grenade rack, yet a second has been added. Dispenses hand-operated Fragmentation and Flash grenades.

Special Accessories:
Fission/Fusion Reactor: Demios's new reactor provides a substantial increase in power output per size by mixing Fission and Fusion reactions within the same cycle. Due to precisely tuned Gravometric controllers strong electrical shocks or high gravity can force a shut down and revert Demios to back up power.

Tetrimite Armor: A dull black, flexible thread like armor that is nearly indestructible except to high impact, laser sharp punctures. Demios's entire body is layered with it beneath the skin.

Reinforced Polyceramic Alloy Armor: His normal armor pieces are made from Titanium X laced Polyceramic plates, capable of incredible defense and are exceptionally heavy.. Only his Nano-Thread Musculature allow him to move in this heavy armor.

Nano-Thread Musculature: Billions of Nano-actuators and Tetrimite threads make up his musculature that allow him vastly increased strength as compared to the original Demios unit. Also acts as a sort of third armor.

Special Abilities:
Adaptive Memory System: Allows Demios to almost instantly analyize, integrate and use any combat, mechanical or technical data he comes across. It allows him to effectively copy some styles of combat, though, he may not have the equipment or speed to make them work.

Combat Sensor Suite: Includes all normal sensory equipment plus Infrared, Ultraviolet, Multiphasic and Low-Light Enhancement visual improvements, Sonar and Radar equipment as well as an Multi-receptor, which allows him to intercept comm and active sensor arrays to a small degree.

Tripple Plasma Wave: By Overcharging, or charging instantly by drawing Plasma directly from the reactor, all three of Demios's busters (two arms + shoulder) Demios can create a massive amount of plasma to be carried along a single Plasma Laser. This increases the damage potential vastly.

Vehicle:
The Mars mark II - The Mars Mark II is still in development by Demios.

Appearance:
Demios's new body is much taller, broader and stronger than his original. He stands roughly 6'8" when unarmored and over 7' when fully armored. When unarmored, Demios tends to wear a thick body suit of dark blue, with occasionally a jacket for spice with dark boots hiding his feet. Unlike the Demios unit 1, the Demios unit 2's hairstyle was given a woman's touch and as such, isn't the horrible flat-top blonde mess it was before. Short, but not martially so, Demios's hair retains it's light blond color and doesn't feel the need to hide it under hats or baseball caps any more. His armor is built and trimmed in a very similar style to his original armor. The most notable difference is the inclusion of the retractable shoulder cannon as well as the shoulder pauldrons now have a tapered shape rather than the boxes they were before.

Personality:
Demios's personality hasn't changed dramatically since his first incarnation, except for perhaps being a tad more arrogant than before. His years long employment by the Freelancers has resulted in him cheering up some as compared to his old dour self and has come to thing of the Freelancers much the same way he used to think of Retro and Surge. As valuable partners and good friends. However, he's still apt to the occasional bout of cynacism, like when he is reminded of the many unlucky things that happen to him on any given day. Overall, Demios is still the practical, mercenary, sharp witted Reploid he's always been.

History:
A large part of Demios's history has recently been revealed to him, such that he has a clearer picture of his origin and better perspective on the events in his life. He was one of several parts of the "Alexander" Military Research team allied with the Maverick Hunters early in the war. He and each of his co-products, including Tome, Retro, Surge and Tempest, were designed to prototype different technologies to enhance Maverick Hunter forces. There were more members of the Alexander team yet only Tome knows the entire staff and has yet to tell Demios all of them.

When Demios was first activated, he performed many field tests for the Alexander team before being put back into Birth status for tweaks and a memory wipe. Unfortunately, another member of the Alexander team, "Cornerstone," went Maverick and destroyed the Alexander complex and buried Demios's birth capsule under the wreckage. The tweaks were never made, but the Memory wipe was.

After several months, Demios's birth capsule was discovered by street orphans and was activated accidentally, starting the beginning of Demios's concious memories. He found the Mars and became a Bounty Hunter. He began by working for a Reploid named Tome whom he seemed unusually compassionate concerning Demios. It was through Tome that he eventually met up with Retro and Surge, of which Demios was unaware that they were also members of the Alexander team. They took Demios on, never explaining to him his background and helped him along in his path. Demios, Retro and Surge had a falling out due to a case of misunderstood identity and Surge's near death and Demios left the other two, later joining the Freelancers.

During a volunteer mission to destroy the Mephistophiles, Duncadia's greated war-weapon, he was sent plumetting from the flying fortress to land, in pieces, on the ground below. Just before Duncadian troops could kill him completely, he was saved by Tempest and his core components carted off quickly to Tome's workshop somewhere in the freezone before the resultant battle on the Mpehistophiles resulted in the complete destruction of Duncadia's capitol city.

Here, he was rebuilt/inserted into the Demios unit two, an amalgamation of the different technologies prototyped by the Alexander team by Tome. Here, he discovered the Tome had been manipulating his life since he had met him as well as finding out Tome had been his original creator. During a stand-off between Demios and Tempest, Demios chose not to kill Tome, despite Retro's prompting, and has since returned to the Freelancers to rejoin active employment.
