X-ATM092 is a boss in Final Fantasy VIII. It's activated by Biggs to pursue Squall's Squad. It's later destroyed by Quistis at the beach, unless the player has already destroyed it at some point during the chase.

If the player tries to return to the Dollet Comm Tower, a Galbadian Soldier will call two X-ATM092. The first one (RoboVite 001) falls from the mountain, and the second (RoboSharp 002) falls backwards, blocking the path to the Communications Tower.

[edit] Battle

After the initial fight with X-ATM092, evading it is possible. Defeating it is hard at this point in the game, the player just has to attack it until it enters repair mode, and Zell prompts the player to flee the battle. It is then delayed slightly before it resumes its pursuit of the party. There is a time limit in place while running away from it.

Although it can repeatedly repair itself, it can only do so a finite number of times. Consequently, it can be defeated completely by the player, though doing so is very difficult even without taking the time limit into consideration as well. Defeating X-ATM092 is rewarded with 100 bonus points that count towards the SeeD level on graduation.
