Eddie

Eddie (エディ), also known as Eddy and Flip-Top, is an item transportation robot that first appeared in Mega Man 4.

Eddie was created by Dr. Light to carry items for Mega Man. (according to US game manuals, Dr. Light built him as his personal cybernetic suitcase) He is equipped with a material transfer unit that allows him to relay an unlimited amount of items from Dr. Light's Laboratory for Mega Man, but because he is incomplete, Eddie is unable to choose items and gives them randomly. Like Rush, Eddie is equipped with a sensor that identifies Mega Man's exact location. The sensor allows him to appear by Mega Man’s side instantly whenever he is needed. He has a jet engine and is able to fly.
