This ultimate armor is more or less a secret armor available in Megaman X4, X5 and X6. It works the same way as the Fourth/Force armor, but with unlimited GigaAttacks.
In X4 and X6, as far as I know, it's only accessible via cheat codes, but in X5 you can get it normally by finding a hidden capsule while using normal X in the final stage in which X and Zero battle. If you are using Zero in this stage, the boss will be X using this armor.
Some years ago, Bandai used to make those model kits for Mega Man X and I remember that there was one of this Ultimate Armor and that you could take off the armor and make some kind of jet with it (think of Saint Seiya's objects). Though not present in the games, It's a cool feature that I hope they do here :)
This armor was featured in Megaman X4. That being said it was a pain to get legitimately and was acquired almost completely at the end game. A simple cheat allowed it to be accessed almost immediately but it completely trivialized the game.
Still very cool to see it being turned into a nice figure.
I never knew this armor was actually clear but then again that kind of detail would've been really hard to do on what is now considered a tiny game sprite.
Jeez Mega Man X4 is now old enough to drive.
