Mercury

Mercury (マーキュリー) is one of the first four Stardroids from Mega Man V. His body is made of liquid metal, allowing him to take any form and dismantle himself to attack, similar to the Devil Series. His main weapon is the Grab Buster, an attack that can steal energy and items from enemies and absorb them to recover his health. Sometimes Mercury also uses the Grab Buster on his allies. He has a loose tongue, and as result he doesn't have many friends. He doesn't get along with Pluto.

Most walkthroughs recommend taking on Mercury first, since he seems to be easily beaten with the Mega Arm (this strategy also saves the player from losing valuable small Energy Tanks to the Grab Buster as there are none in Mercury's stage). Later on, when the player faces him again in Wily's Space Lab, Mega Man can use the Black Hole to defeat him quickly.
