Shirokumachine GTV (シロクマシーンＧＴＶ Shirokumashīn GTV) is a large polar bear enemy in Mega Man 7. Appropriately enough, three of them appear in Freeze Man's stage. The first two simply roar and create icy spike balls to swat at Mega Man. The third one also does so, but also makes icicles fall from above; however, the icicles will not block or deflect Mega Man's shots so this leaves Shirokumachine GTV open to counterattacks.

- *For Freeze Cracker, the first number is when the shot is whole; the second number is after it splits.
- *For Thunder Bolt, the boss lacks invincibility frames, so each shot will hit it twice.
- *For Junk Shield, the boss lacks invincibility frames, so each shot will hit up to 18 times.
- *For Slash Claw, the damage dealt depends on how much of the attack hits the boss. It will deal more damage if more of the attack makes contact
