Shield Attacker

Shield Attacker (シールドアタッカー) is a flying enemy that is indestructible in front. It can only be damaged attacking his back. In Mega Man 7 they flip their shield face rather than turning around. In Mega Man 8, they are modeled after the Oni Mask boss from Mega Man 7, HannyaNED2. In Mega Man: Powered Up, there are Shield Attackers with a propeller instead of jet engine.
