Hornet Man

Hornet Man (ホーネットマン) is one of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 9 whose period of use had expired and was scheduled to be scrapped. Hornet Man was designed to manage a flower park. It was his job to pollinate the flowers using his vast knowledge of flowers from around the world, and he loves gardening. He attacks using hornets.

Strategy
He walks to one side of the arena, flies up and shoots 3 Hornet Chasers, which follow the player; he then drops to the floor, runs to the other side, and repeats.

His weakness is the Magma Bazooka. Its diagonnal fire blasts will destroy all the bees when the center shot hits the center Hornet Chaser. When charged, it will also blast through them toward Hornet Man.
