Shield Sheldon (Shieldner Sheldon in Japan) was a shell Reploid rookie bodyguard. He failed in his job as bodyguard when Dr. Jim, a important person he was protecting, became a Maverick and was killed by Maverick Hunters. The Maverick Hunters also identified Sheldon as a Maverick just because he was created by Gate (who is famous for creating dangerous Reploids). He could not deal with this and decided to retire himself, believing that he is useless because he wasn't able to do his job. He was later ressurected by Gate to examine the Nightmare. Seeing this as a second chance and that he needs him, he tries to fulfill his duty as a bodyguard protecting Gate, even if that costs his life again.

He's weak against Metal Anchor and Rakukojin, being thrown away when hit by them, but it's necessary to wait for him to be vulnerable first.

[edit] Attacks

• Shield Sheldon will inititally appear, then teleport to a different area of the screen.

• If Shield Sheldon appears in one of the two lower corners, he is going to throw his two shells at you. He will throw one shell straight forward, then almost immediately throw the other one at a 45 degree angle upwards. The shells will act as boomerangs, and Shield Sheldon may or may not teleport to a new location to which the shells will return. Just crouch and you'll be fine. As Zero, this is a good opportunity to use Rakukojin; use a good double-jump to get in between the two shells as they were being thrown, and you have a split second opening (literally) to hit Sheldon from above.

• If Shield Sheldon appears at the top middle of the screen, he will withdraw into his shells, then bounce around the room in a pseudo-figure-8 pattern. If you've played Mega Man X, just think of this as the Armored Armadillo attack.

• If Shield Sheldon appears in the middle of the screen, he will clone himself. The lighter, less solid one is the clone, and cannot be damaged.
  • If the two appear in the upper corners, they are going to throw their shells in a symmetric pattern and they will bounce around the room. Most of the time, crouching in one of the corners will help you avoid it. After this attack, they will reconverge.
  • If the two appear in the lower corners, they will just fling their shells over themselves and reconverge.

• (1/2 health left) If Shield Sheldon appears in the middle of the screen, he may surround himself with Guard Shells, then proceed to float around the room. Any attack that hits the Guard Shell will be reflected in the standard Guard Shell way (a small ball of energy).

• (1/2 health left) If Shield Sheldon appears in the middle of the screen, he will fire four shells to the corners of the arena, then will fly from one shell to another. It's relatively random which way he will fly. If you hit the shells with any type of attack, they will fire small blue energy blasts at you.
