Mega Buster


The Mega Buster is Mega Man's main weapon, a rapid firing arm cannon equipped in his left arm. It can be improved with Buster Parts, which modify four stats: Attack, Energy, Range and Rapid. MegaMan is only allowed 2 Buster Parts at a time, but upon obtaining the item Adapter Plug, he can equip 3 parts.

Special Weapons
Special Weapons are weapons attached to Mega Man's right arm. They are developed by Roll Caskett with objects found by Mega Man, and she can improve their abilities. Mega Man can carry only one Special Weapon with him. To change weapons, he must talk with Roll in the Support Car or in the Flutter (and also in Nino Island during the attack of the Birdbots). Most Special Weapons have limited ammunition, shown in the weapon gauge to the right of the screen, and they must be recharged with Data or with items.

List of Special Weapons
There is a large variety of Special Weapons in the games with varying abilities, such as a powerful bazooka-like weapon, machine guns, grenades, an energy blade, an energy shield for protection, a drill to break down walls, and a vacuum to collect Refractor shards.

Normal Arm
Normal Arm is Mega Man's normal arm without weapons. When not using a weapon, Mega Man can kick with his right leg in Mega Man Legends and lift objects in Mega Man Legends 2.

Kick
Kick is an attack from Mega Man Legends. It is used with the right leg when Mega Man is not equipped with a Special Weapon and with the left leg when he is in areas that the Mega Buster can't be used. In Mega Man Legends 2 it can only be used with the left arm, as the right arm function was replaced by the Lifter.

Lifter
Lifter (持ち上げ) is an action from Mega Man Legends 2 used by Mega Man with the right arm when he isn't equipped with a Special Weapon. He is able to lift light objects and enemies and throw them, causing damage to other enemies hit. Mega Man can lift enemies that cause negative status by contact, like burn and freeze from some Horokkos and Frongels, without receiving the status.

The objects, characters, and enemies Mega Man can lift are Horokko, Frongel, Mirumijee, Jakko, Gorbesh, Kuruguru, Miroc, King Miroc, Skaritt, Taburu, Snorubit, Otamarn, Koni, Kalmare, Servbots, Birdbots, Johnny, the gunners in Nino Island, the twins Appo and Dah, Shu, rabbits, pigs, bombs, and crates.

When holding a Jakko, Mega Man will descent slowly if the jump button is held. Snorubit is the only enemy that can escape from Mega Man when hold. If Mega Man attempts to lift Roll Caskett in the Calinca tundra, she will slap him.

Equipment
Mega Man can equip upgrades to his body for easier tasks, such as battle and travelling purposes. Such additions include built in roller skates for higher speed, helmets, different levels of body armor, and upgrades for his health and buster.

Helmet
When Mega Man is hit, sometimes he may hit his head in the floor, causing 8 damage to him. The helmet protects his head from this extra damage. Some helmets prevent him from being knocked down or allow him to automatically roll out of danger when he takes multiple hits.

In Mega Man Legends there is only one helmet, which is developed by Roll with the item Safety Helmet found in the box near the Junk Shop in Yass Plains. In Mega Man Legends 2 there is more than one helmet and they can be bought in Junk Shops.

Body Parts
Mega Man's body parts can be replaced by sturdier parts to increase his defense. In the first Mega Man Legends game, only the Flak Jacket is available, upgrades becoming available when the weaker version is bought. Once upgraded, the armor can't return to its previous version, but Mega Man is able to unequip his current armor. The second game has several armors available.

Foot Parts
By swapping foot parts Mega Man can improve his mobility, being able to dash to move faster and increase his jump height. Separate parts can be attached simultaneously to the areas around the calf and below the ankle to allow for multiple power ups. In the second game some parts protect him from hazardous floors.

In the first two games the skates are developed by Roll.

Jump Parts (ジャンプパーツ) made with Spring Set (スプリングセット) found in Cardon ruins, chest in high area before the barrier.

Other media
In the Rockman DASH 2 4Koma Gag Battle, some comics involve Mega Man's equipment. Below are some of them.
