Telly

Telly (テリー) is a spinning security robot enemy that first appeared in Mega Man 2.

In Mega Man 6 they are orange and drop fire throughout Flame Man's stage, igniting oil on the floors.

In Mega Man & Bass there are Telly R in some stages and Giant Tellys that drop incendiary bombs in Burner Man's stage.

Types of Tellys


Telly
Telly is a security robot with camera eyes from Mega Man 2 that looks like a spinning can. They mostly appear in Crash Man's stage, Heat Man's stage, and the first and fourth sections of Dr. Wily's castle. They especially appear near the platforms on tracks, where they can knock Mega Man off. Using the Leaf Shield on the track platforms will keep Mega Man safe.



Fire Telly
Fire Telly (ファイアーテリー) is an upgrade of the original Telly and it appears in Mega Man 6. They take the form of orange-coloured Tellies with flamethrowers attached to their undersides, and appear mainly in Flame Man's stage, the third section of Mr. X's stage, and first part of the first section of Dr. Wily's stage. However, it is in Flame Man's stage that they are a real threat. They will often use their flamethrowers to drop fireballs into the oil pools, igniting them and turning them into raging infernos. If Mega Man touches the fire, which is much hotter than standard fire due to the burning oil, he will instantly die, as though he landed on spikes.



Big Telly
Big Telly (ビッグテリー) appear in Mega Man 8 in Grenade Man's stage, Frost Man's stage, and the first stage of Wily Tower. In Mega Man 8, they will drop several exploding bombs as they pass by. In Mega Man & Bass, they drop incendiary bombs in Burner Man's stage. You can see a heart on top of its head.



Telly R
Telly R (テリーＲ) is the original Telly with minor modifications. It appears in Mega Man 8 and Mega Man & Bass.



Telly X
Telly X is a modified Telly that appears in Plug Man's stage and the first Wily stage from Mega Man 9.



Telly Bomb
Telly Bomb (テリーボム Terī Bomu) is a explosive Telly from Mega Man Zero 2 and Mega Man Zero 4. Their explosion can destroy walls with spikes. They show up in Phoenix Magnion's stage, Tech Kraken's stage, the Neo Arcadia Teleporter Base and Area Zero.
