"Mega Man: The Scorch Wheel launches a flaming wheel, right?
Dr. Light: Yes, and the wheel may also burn the things it touches."
―Mega Man and Dr. Light, Mega Man 7

Scorch Wheel, known as Burning Wheel (バーニングホイール Bāningu Hoīru) in Japan and the English version of Mega Man: The Power Battle, is Turbo Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man 7 and Mega Man: The Power Battle. When equipped and used by Mega Man, he creates a wheel of fire that surrounds him before sending it forward, and it rolls on the ground like a normal wheel until it hits a wall or an enemy. If the player holds the attack button, the fire wheel will rotate around him for a while before being launched. When used in the air, the wheel will slowly fall downwards while travelling forward. Scorch Wheel can be used to scorch certain objects, especially the trees in Slash Man's stage (this is how Beat is found)[1] and can even be used on some ice on the floors on Freeze Man's stage. Scorch Wheel can also light the candles in the dark corridor in Shade Man's stage, allowing the player to see the platforms, the spikes, and the rest of the landscape.

This weapon is the primary weakness of Burst Man and the secondary weakness of Freeze Man and Slash Man. If Burst Man is hit by the weapon, he will be pushed back and drop four bombs on the ground before going straight to shooting Danger Wraps at Mega Man, similar to when he is hit by a fully charged Mega Buster shot. If Slash Man is hit by this weapon, he will be engulfed in flames and will go into dropping eggs on Mega Man. Freeze Man, however, will not be stunned or have his pattern stopped when hit by the Scorch Wheel, though he still takes heavy damage from it.

Bodies of liquid substances can destroy or weaken the Wheel. If shot while submerged, there will be a weak short range attack and the Wheel leaves bubbles that float and do not affect any element.

Trivia[]

  • A picture of Mega Man using Scorch Wheel (the picture at the top) is used as the background picture for the extra downloaded material in the Mega Man Anniversary Collection.
  • This is the only weapon to have a fire shield (Fire Storm, Fire Man) that can be thrown (Leaf Shield, Wood Man) in multiple directions (Metal Blade, Metal Man).
  • Scorch Wheel is the weakness of three Robot Masters in Mega Man 7, making it the second most effective weapon in one game (only being beaten by, unsurprisingly, the Metal Blade).
  • In the prototype for Mega Man 7, the Scorch Wheel could rotate around Mega Man indefinitely provided the player holds the button down. Despite the fact the weapon was in an unfinished state at that point in development, it acted similarly to Mega Man's other barrier weapons like the Jewel Satellite.
  • The instruction manual for Mega Man 7 mistakenly labels this weapon as Surge Wheel.
