Robot Boss Weapons

This page will cover all of the weapons that Mega Man acquires from the robot bosses, including sub-bosses like Enker. The page is divided into 3 sections: The original series, the Game Boy games, and the Mega Man X games. Even though lots of the weapons found in the Game Boy games can be found in the original series, they'll be mentioned twice. (Energy consumption will be listed after each, represented by letters; Mega Man X weapons can all be charged up, so a class won't be listed.) Note: Zero's weapons/abilities are listed in red.
