Queenbee the Hymenopteroid

Queenbee the Hymenopteroid, known in Japan as Kaisemine the Wasproid (カイゼミーネ・ザ・ワスプロイド), is a Pseudoroid from the Mega Man ZX series based upon a royal-class queen bee.

Characteristics
Queenbee is a female Pseudoroid based on a queen bee. She has a slender body colored red with details in gold and blue lights. Violet flames on her back take the shape of wings, which seem to behave as a jetpack of sorts. Queenbee has no legs, although hidden wheels on her abdomen allow her to move on the ground. Her stinger is actually a cannon that can fire needle and fire shots. As long as the joint specifications match, Queenbee can also attach her abdomen to a container and carry it with her. She can even carry objects larger than her own size, and when faced as a boss, her body is connected to an armed beehive that turns her body into a variegated armament.

Queenbee is a sinister Pseudoroid who tends to speak in terms related to bees and flowers. She also has a more haughty tone to her voice.

Mega Man ZX Advent
Queenbee confronts the Mega Man Model A in the Control Center, right after Prometheus takes away the local fragment of Biometal Model W. She has caused a thermal runaway to detonate the energy furnaces, but she is defeated by the Mega Man Model A, who then copies her data with Model A's A-Trans and uses her form to stop the runaway. Queenbee is later revived for the final battle in Ouroboros, where she is again defeated.

Rockman ZX Advent (manga)
Queenbee makes her appearance in Chapter 1. Queenbee is obsessed with beautiful treasures and uses her bees to search sparkly things. After one of this bees rob the treasure form Ashe's hands, the Pseudoroid is offended when Ashe called her a thief and attacks the heroes. Grey and Model A megamerge and with a Homing Shot manage to defeat Queenbee, alongside the treasure she took. Inside her was the first fragment of the Biometal Model W.

Power and Abilities
She is the encountered at the top room of Control Center. Queenbee's body is attached to a massive beehive containing several armaments to use against the player, include several bee drones as well as rockets, and can fire red lasers in multiple directions. During battle, Queenbee cannot be damaged as long as she has her mobile hive, the beehive can be destroyed with sufficient damage, forcing her to fly around as she attempts to strike the player. However, she will eventually fly off-screen to bring another.

When using her A-Trans, Queenbee lacks her hive; the player can only shoot a downwards-traveling fire dart or fly. She can, however, dock into several objects scattered throughout the game and use them in a variety of ways.
