Telly (テリー Terī) is a security robot with camera eyes from the original Mega Man series that first appeared in Mega Man 2. This robot resembles a can and appears from tubes, slowly spinning in the air in the direction of intruders.
Appearances[]
In Mega Man 2 they appear in Crash Man's stage, Heat Man's stage, and the first and fourth Wily Castle stages. They mostly appear near the platforms on tracks in the latter, where they can knock Mega Man off into the spikes. Using the Leaf Shield on the track platforms will keep Mega Man safe.
They appear in Crash Man's stage in Mega Man II and in an optional room from the second Wily Tower stage in Mega Man: The Wily Wars. In Mega Man Powered Up they were named Bobbles in the English version and only appeared in custom stages and in two challenges from the Challenge Mode.
Telly also appeared as an enemy in Street Fighter × All Capcom and as a decoration in Zombie Cafe.

Variations[]
Fire Telly[]
Fire Telly (ファイアーテリー Faiā Terī) is a modified Telly that appeared in Mega Man 6. They are orange-colored Tellies with flame emitters attached to their undersides, which can ignite oil on the floors from Flame Man's stage.
Big Telly[]
Big Telly (ビッグテリー Biggu Terī) is a giant Telly in Mega Man 8 and Mega Man & Bass.
In Mega Man 8 they appear in Grenade Man's stage, Frost Man's stage (mainly in the jet board section), and the first Wily Tower stage (again, the jet board section). They will drop several exploding bombs as they pass by.
In Mega Man & Bass they appear in Burner Man's stage and drop incendiary bombs that temporarily cover the bottom of the area with flames that instantly kills the player if they were to touch it.
Telly R[]
Telly R (テリーＲ) is the original Telly with minor modifications. It appears in Mega Man 8 in Tengu Man's stage and Sword Man's stage. It also appears in Mega Man & Bass and is found in Tengu Man's stage, Dynamo Man's stage and King Stage 1.
Telly X[]
Telly X (テリーX Terī X) is a renewed version of the Telly from Mega Man 2 that act the exact same and usually appear from chutes in the ground of Plug Man's Stage or the first stage of Wily's Castle. The visual differences between this Telly and the original are limited, though this Telly seems to have small spikes on its corners, as well as having a red variant that only appears in Endless Attack. The gameplay differences between the two are nonexistent.
Electriri[]
Electriri, known as Elec Telly (エレキテリー Ereki Terī) in Japan, is an electric Telly that appears in Mega Man 11 in Fuse Man's stage. Unlike standard Tellies, Electriri doesn't home in on Mega Man; instead it just slowly floats forward while constantly emitting an electric field around itself that damages on contact. Electriris usually appear in large numbers as a means to overwhelm their targets.
Telly Bomb[]
Telly Bomb (テリーボム Terī Bomu) is an explosive Telly from the Mega Man Zero series.
In Mega Man Zero 2 their explosion can destroy walls with spikes. They show up in Phoenix Magnion's stage and Fighting Fefnir's Temple of Fire stage.
In Mega Man Zero 4 they appear in Area Zero, Tech Kraken's stage, and the Neo Arcadia Teleporter Base. Its parts can be used to make the Rolling Body Chip.
In both games, keeping a Telly Bomb on-screen for one minute will cause it to self-destruct and always drop a Z Panel.[2]
