Rompers

Rompers (ロンパーズ) are miniature walking soldier enemies in Mega Man 8 and Mega Man & Bass. These little robots tend to inhabit the circus/carnival related stages, like Clown Man and Magic Man's stages. In Clown Man's stage, some are dropped from a large balloon carrying them. If they reach Mega Man, they will latch on to him to impede movement and drain energy (in Mega Man 8) or shake Bolts off (in Mega Man & Bass). In Mega Man & Bass, they also appear in King's second stage and Dr. Wily's stage. They also appear in the battle with magic man if you shoot the magic orbs that magic man shoots.

In Mega Man 8, they are orange-colored; while in Mega Man & Bass, there is also a green variety.

Kikyoon
The Kikyoon (キキューン) is the Rompers' main aircraft. One Romper uses binoculars to guide the others, while they drop capsules containing Rompers. These balloons only appear in Clown Man's stage from Mega Man 8. Its name comes from the word balloon (気球 kikyū).
