Fatboy (ファットボーイ, Fattobōi) is a Shoulder-type cannon weapon that Vile obtains by defeating Boomerang Kuwanger in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X. When equipped with this weapon, Vile fires a large, pink and orange energy projectile from the cannon on his shoulder. Fatboy uses a good chunk of Weapon Energy, but it inflicts a decent amount of damage. Fatboy's range is at least a full screen's width.

Mega Man X takes a decent amount of damage from Fatboy.

Defeating Boomerang Kuwanger will Vile not only be rewarded with Fatboy, but he will also be rewarded with Metal Crescent as well.

Etymology

• Fatboy's name refers to the large size of the projectile. It is also possibly a reference to the Harley-Davidson motorcycle of the same title, which itself is named after the atom bombs "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" that were used on Japan in World War II.
