Pierobot

Pierobot (ピエロボット) is a robot enemy in the original Mega Man series that walks on a large gear. Pierobot and Blocky were originally members of a robot circus, and they acted together as a comedy duo, Pierobot being the straight man, and Blocky the funny man. They appear in Metal Man's stage from Mega Man 2 and Mega Man II, and also appear as viruses in the Arcade Computer (ColorMan.EXE's stage) in Mega Man Network Transmission. However, the virus rides a ball instead of a gear.
