Randam Bandam

Randam Bandam (ランダム・バンダム) is the boss of the Neo Arcadia's Teleporter Base in Mega Man Zero 4. It protects the Teleporter Base, and Zero has to fight against it.

It comes out from the center of the room's wall and shoots in various directions, or bounces through the room. The wall has several blasters hidden in its panels. When it uses the attack where most of the wall's panels open up and fire at Zero one at a time, quickly charge up the Tractor Shot; all the panels' shots will be attracted to the sphere, increasing its power. It will be fully charged by the time the attack finishes, and using the super-charged Tractor Shot on Bandam will deplete 1/4 of its energy.

Attacks

 * It fires a spray of red bullets across the room.


 * It rebounds off the walls in a figure-eight pattern, then retreats behind the wall.


 * After Randam Bandam retreats, each wall panel turns around in a snake-like manner and reveal blue panels that all shoot a bullet at Zero. They can easily be destroyed.


 * After Randam Bandam retreats, the wall panels randomly flash like a roulette until a marker stops on one, which turns around and reveals a red panel that fires six lasers across the room unless destroyed. This happens three times, each a little faster than before.


 * EX Skill: Randam Bandam's side turrets light up and fire a pair of circling energy balls in all four directions, which split into two sets of two reds and blues thet rebound across the room. The pattern goes down, then left-right, then up, then left-right again, and finally down again.

Trivia

 * This is one of only two bosses in the Mega Man series where the boss battle happens in the same area where the level begins, the other being the Copy Sigma in Mega Man X8.
 * Its name bears a slight resemblance to Rangda Bangda, along with some attacks.
