The Hornet Chaser (ホーネットチェイサー Hōnetto Cheisā) is Hornet Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man 9. Mega Man (or Proto Man) shoots out robotic hornet drones to sting enemies for low damage (one point of damage) or to retrieve items (doing both if it happens to kill an enemy that drops an item). It gives priority to chase up enemies before grabbing items to the user. The hornets will bring back most kinds of items to Mega Man, such as Life Energy and 1UPs, even through walls. This makes it useful for picking up items on spikes, fire pits, and other hazards. However, it doesn't pick up E Tanks and M Tanks.

Hornet Chaser is Splash Woman's weakness. However, if used when Splash Woman is calling her fish minions, Hornet Chaser will home in on them instead.

  • For "Spike Shooters" and Wily Machine No. 9's first phase, both bosses do not have data for them because they must be damaged with their own weapon or obstacle -- the Hornet Chaser cannot inflict damage to them directly.

Trivia[]

  • This weapon functions similarly to Bomb Bee from Mega Man Xtreme 2 in the sense that it goes after enemies, although Bomb Bee cannot retrieve items.
