Stone Man

Stone Man (ストーンマン) is a strong Robot Master that was built by Doctor Albert Wily to look like and be as tough as a bunch of bricks. He also bears a striking resemblance to his friend Guts Man. In Mega Man 5, Wily ordered him to occupy a high mountain to help Gyro Man take over a hanging garden. Despite his weight, he can jump quite high. However, if he jumps too high or is hit by a strong attack, the impact will make his body break apart, but he is able to reconstruct himself back to his normal form. His weapon, the Power Stone, makes heavy stones circle around him, bashing anything in their path with immense force. In Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters the Power Stone makes a big, forward crawling stone hand. He's also able to create a wall of bricks to protect himself from incoming attacks and can throw stone pillars at his foes.

Mega Man 5
Stone Man attacks with the Power Stone and tries to jump on Mega Man to smash him, sometimes jumping up high and breaking to pieces on impact with the sheer force, before quickly rebuilding himself. He is weak to the Napalm Bomb, as it can blow his external chassis apart.
