Potton (ポットン Potton) is a flying surveillance robot enemy in Mega Man 3 and Mega Man III. They attack by dropping their explosive body when Mega Man passes under them. Afterwards they are just glass shells with propellers that fly around. It still hurts Mega Man if he touches them. As they explode themselves, they are costly to keep. They appear in Snake Man's stage and Gemini Man's (Doc Robot) Stage in Mega Man 3, in Snake Man's stage in Mega Man III, and 2 Pottons can be seen briefly in episode 2 of Super Adventure Rockman, with more ambushing Mega Man and Beat.
