Hanumachine

Hanumachine (ハヌマシーン) is a member of Hidden Phantom's Cutting Shadow Squadron in the Mega Man Zero series. He is a Mutos Reploid based on the Hindu monkey god Hanuman.

Hanumachine is one of the bosses of Mega Man Zero, where he can be fought either after failing in the mission against Hittite Hottide, or after all selectable missions are completed. When he attacked the Resistance Base, he was defeated by Zero in the warehouse.

Hanumachine is revived by Dr. Weil in Mega Man Zero 3 as "Hanumachine R", and leads an army to attack the Resistance Base. It is interesting to note that throughout the battle, Hanumachine R constantly refers to Zero as the "God of Destruction", which gives an early hint at Omega's true identity.

Strategy
Hanumachine can turn into a fireball and ricochet around the room Zero fights him in (in the third game this destroys the blocks occupying the room). He uses fire based attacks, like fireballs, and releases small versions of himself that explode after sticking to Zero. He also has a rod that can expand to a larger size.

Defeating him at A or S rank will give Zero the Split Heavens EX Skill in Mega Man Zero 3.

Attacks

Trivia

 * Despite being named for the Hindu deity Hanuman, Hanumachine bears greater similarity to the classic Chinese character Sun Wukong. Hanumachine's circlet, size-changing staff, and ability to summon smaller copies of himself all evoke traits specific to Sun Wukong.
 * His red face and white coloring resembles those of some species of macaques, such as the Rhesus macaque and Japanese macaque.
