Treble

Treble, known as Gospel (ゴスペル) in Japan, is a wolf-like support robot created by Dr. Wily to work with Bass in a similar way to Rush with Mega Man. Bass can fuse with him to gain wings and fly.

Flight ability
Treble can fly to transport Bass like the Rush Jet. This function was only used in the opening animation of Mega Man 8. Appearances:
 * Mega Man 8

Super Adapter
The Super Adapter allows Treble to merge with Bass, acting like an armor that increases his strength and gives him the ability to fly and perform a flying fist attack. Unlike Mega Man's Super Adapter, Bass has the ability to fire either a regular charged shot or a rocket punch, as opposed to just the rocket punch. It was created by Dr. Wily using the parts Bass had stolen in Dr. Light's lab in Mega Man 7, which where originally planned to enhance Rush's Super Adapter. Bass used this in the second battle against Mega Man in the Wily Castle.

Appearances:
 * Mega Man 7

Other appearances:
 * Mega Man Megamix

Support Item
In Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, Treble appears to assist Bass for a limited time when he takes the Support Item dropped by Eddie. Treble shoots from his mouth when Bass attacks with a normal shot, and dashes at enemies at high speed when Bass fires a charge shot or performs a somersault kick. Treble also jumps when Bass does so, but doesn't attack during the jump.

Appearances:
 * Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters

Treble Boost
The Treble Boost, known as Gospel Boost (ゴスペルブースト) in Japan, is an improved version of the Super Adapter used by Bass in his fight against Mega Man in Mega Man 8. While using it Bass can fly and fire powerful charge shots and laser beams. In the games Mega Man & Bass and Mega Man 10, Bass can buy this ability in the item shop, which allows him to fly for a limited time and fire stronger shots in three directions at the same time. In Rockman and Forte: Mirai Kara no Chousensha Bass can also buy the Treble Boost and this time it can fire in 1 of 7 directions, but can only be used once.

Communicator
In Bass' ending from the Japanese version of Mega Man: Battle & Chase, Wily contacts Bass. During the conversation, Bass orders Treble to cut the communication when he got angry with Wily, suggesting Treble is the source of the communication. As only their voices are heard, it's unknown if Treble can only reproduce the voices or is able to show images like the Rush Vision.

Appearances:
 * Mega Man: Battle & Chase

Trivia

 * In Japan, Treble's name is Gospel, which was left untranslated in the MegaMan Battle Network series.


 * Treble is one of the many characters who have music-inspired names, Treble being a musical term and Gospel a type of music.


 * Despite the fact that Bass made a small cameo in Mega Man 9, Treble was nowhere to be found.


 * In MegaMan Battle Network 2, Gospel appeared as a Multibug Organism and the final boss in the game. In MegaMan Battle Network 6, the Cybeast Gregar appeared as part of the main plot and the final boss. Both of the these characters' designs are based on Treble.
