Android 9, codenamed "Project: Red", was rebuilt by the Red Pants Army as Project: Red and is fought in the ruins of the Red Ribbon Army Headquarters located near Korin Tower. Although proportionally the same, he is much larger than his template, to the extent of towering over the main character by a head's length, ironically fulfilling his template's wish to be taller in a sense.
