CWU-01P

CWU-01P is an aquatic robot from the first Mega Man game. A smaller version of it appeared later in Mega Man 2 (M-445). An armored version of that one appeared in Mega Man 4 (M-422A) and an exploding version appeared in Mega Man 6 (SRU-21/P). A mini version of CWU-01P appeared in Mega Man 7 (CFN-24). Its original function was to purify water. In Mega Man: Powered Up, it speaks in a security robot-like voice.

Types of CWU-01Ps


CWU-01P
CWU-01P is the name of seven aquatic robots that roll through the room inside of bubbles and shoot three bubbles at the enemy. The seven are the same, except that they have different speeds and different colors in the circle on them. They appear one by time, and when one CWU-01P is defeated, the next will be faster. Each CWU-01P defeated removes 4 HP from the total HP.

In Mega Man: Powered Up, there is only one CWU-01P that reforms its bubble multiple times. The bubble must now be penetrated before the player can actually do any damage to the machine, similar to the Green Devil. On the easiest difficulty setting it goes around in a tight circle in the middle of the room and shoots bullets at regular intervals. On harder difficulty settings it gains a sweeping laser attack that brings down Guts Blocks in order to crush the player; these blocks can be thrown by using the Super Arm. In addition, the circle it follows is wider, and it breaks the Guts Blocks it collides with. Its weakness is still Super Arm, but hitting CWU-01P with Thunder Beam will stun it briefly. Oil Slider is also highly effective against the bubble, as Oilman points out that water and oil don't mix. 

M-445
M-445 is a smaller and slower version of CWU-01P with spikes. It decends slowly down from the ceiling, but once it is level with the player, it flies towards him/her in a wave pattern. It appears in Bubble Man's stage. 

M-422A
M-422A is a lot like the M-445 except instead of following Mega Man, it drops down to try and grab him. The M-422A is also armored and invincible to all weapons. It is found only in Dive Man's stage.



SRU-21/P
SRU-21/P is a small, exploding enemy similar to M-445. It appears in Centaur Man's stage. They drop from above, flip on the water's surface and then explode. When they explode they send three pieces of debris outward from their domes.



CFN-24
CFN-24 is an orb-like enemy in Mega Man 7. It appears in Burst Man's stage only. A replica of Burst Man's level is in Wily's castle but this particular enemy doesn't show up in the third area. If shot at or touched, it will explode, and the explosion does some damage to Mega Man. It appears to be some sort of underwater mine.
