Dust Crusher

Dust Crusher (ダストクラッシャー), also known as Dust Crasher in Mega Man: The Power Battle, is Dust Man's special weapon. It takes the form of a bomb encased in a ball of scrap metal, that explodes and splits into four pieces of shrapnel (diagonally) when it hits something solid. It's Skull Man's weakness, but Skull Man is immune to the Dust Crusher when his Skull Barrier is up.

Other media
Mega Man uses Dust Crusher in episode 5 of the Mega Man animated series. However, it was radically changed from the version used in the games- instead of being a thrown weapon, it took the form of the Vacuum in Dust Man's head attaching to the shrunken Mega Man's back, giving him the power to pull things towards him.
