"An electrical weapon. Bullets will automatically ricochet to the next target."
―In-game text, Mega Man X8

Thunder Dancer (サンダーダンサー Sandā Dansā) is what X gets from defeating Gigabolt Man-O-War in Mega Man X8. It's a short range (but strong) bolt of electricity, whose range gets extended to reach any nearby enemy. Once one enemy is hit, the bolt may connect to another nearby enemy. This chain-lightning effect of theirs makes Thunder Dancers useful when X is fighting several enemies at once. The weapon's charged up version is still short-ranged, but it sends out three bolts consecutively. This weapon also holds a rapid fire capability similar to the X-Buster, making its repeated use a good strategy against a large amount of enemies. Gigabolt himself also uses this as his Overdrive Attack by firing volleys of thunderbolts towards the platform upon which his battle takes place, although X can redirect this with his Crystal Walls. However, unlike X's version, Gigabolt's Thunder Dancers have longer range in order to reach the platform. Thunder Dancer is Avalanche Yeti's weakness. It is also the weakness of the hidden Cut Man sprite fight. X wears yellow armour with some green accents on his boots and armour with the Thunder Dancers equipped.

Lumine also utilizes this attack during the first phase of his final boss fight Normal and Hard modes by absorbing the blue gem. The Thunder Dancers retain their properties from Gigabolt Man-O-War's fight in Lumine's version of the attack.
