Special Weapon

Special Weapons (特殊武器) are the weapons that some playable characters from the Mega Man series can obtain. They use weapon energy.

In the original Mega Man series and the Mega Man X series, Mega Man, Proto Man, Bass, Duo, Mega Man X, and Axl can obtain Special Weapons by defeating Robot Masters or Maverick Reploids in most games from the series. Roll also uses Special Weapons in Marvel vs. Capcom, and Mega Man was shown using the weapon from the Wily Machine in Mega Man II, Onslaught's Magnetic Shockwave in Marvel vs. Capcom, and use more than one Special Weapon at the same time in the Mega Man cartoon and Rockman 5 manga. With the exception of Axl and Roll (alongside Mega Man and Mega Man X in some media), all characters change color when equipped with a Special Weapon.

In the Mega Man Legends series, Roll Caskett can create Special Weapons for Mega Man Volnutt by using objects he find in his adventures.
