Drill Man

Drill Man (ドリルマン) was created by Dr. Cossack for underground construction and mining until he was reprogrammed to be a combat robot by Dr. Wily in Mega Man 4. His main weapon, the Drill Bomb, is intended to pierce dense objects and explode, causing as much damage to the object as possible. Like Crash Man and Spark Man, Drill Man has no hands. Instead, he has two powerful, all purpose drills made for grinding through solid rock and dirt, which he incorporates into his attacking strategy which primarily involves: drilling into the ground, digging underground (out of the player's sight) before jumping out to attack from below, and sometimes bringing his Drill Bombs into play whilst on the surface.
