Dachone

Dachone (ダチョーン), named Scout Walker in the Game Gear Mega Man manual, is a walking robot enemy from Mega Man 5 that shoots four lasers at a time in different directions. It can only receive damage in its camera eye. Dachone appears in Star Man's Stage (and in Mega Man for the Game Gear), the first Stage in Proto Man's Castle, and the final stage in Wily Castle.

Dachone is a powerful robot as it is too expensive for its construction.When it is encountered it always shoots its powerful lasers but it doesn't walk until the player attacks or gets closer. It walks back and forth. However, it can be difficult to defeat as its weak point is its camera eye and if it is attacking in a short range, its lasers are difficult to avoid and it can crush Mega Man with ease when walks.

Dachone Ltd. Ed. (ダチョーンアマリザイコ) is a low cost limited edition of Dachone that appears in the first high road of Yamato Man's stage in Mega Man 6. Because of the cost reduction, the laser was replaced by energy shots that cause less damage, and it can receive damage at any part of the body, but it can walk faster and shoots in Mega Man's direction.
