Grab Buster, known as Snatch Buster (スナッチバスター Sunacchi Basutā) in Japan, is Mercury's special weapon from Mega Man V. When Mercury uses it against Mega Man, he can steal weapon energy, Tanks and P-Chips. Mercury can also fire it diagonally. Mercury fires his first, fifth, and ninth shots close to the ground, so Mega Man must jump over those to save his items.

When used by Mega Man, it sends a shot straight forward that can steal energy from the enemy to heal two units of health. Pluto and L. Knuckle and R. Knuckle are weak to this weapon, although Pluto can gain defense against the Grab Buster with his Break Dash. With the exception of these three and Brain Crusher's second form, all other bosses are immune to this weapon.

In Mega Man Megamix, Mercury was considered a failure due to his high energy budget (which was due to his shapeshifting powers which are explained as a sentient force field that traps matter within itself to form a humanoid body), so the Grab Buster was made to help him replenish energy.
