Cannon Driver

Cannon Driver (キャノンドライバー) is a large, bipedal combat Mechaniloid from the Mega Man X series that is used to defend bases. It chases intruders to intercept them with two powerful 200mm cannons equipped on its front, firing them alternately, and has homing missiles in the sides. Despite having those features, in most games Cannon Driver appeared it is an stationary enemy that only uses the cannons in the front.

Mega Man X2
Cannon Driver is the first enemy X encounters in the Opening Stage. By jumping out of his Ride Chaser and letting it collide with that guarding Cannon Driver, X is able to cut off its legs and severely damage its upper half. On that first encounter, it only attacks with its remaining cannon, and can be easily destroyed with the X-Buster.

On later stages, they attack by alternately throwing cannonballs from its two cannons. They can be easily destroyed with the Magnet Mine or Spin Wheel, but otherwise the player may just jump over or dash under the lower cannonball, and let the higher one pass straight through. They usually appear guarding the gates leading to the boss in Wheel Gator's stage and Morph Moth's stage.
