Thunder Claw (サンダークロー Sandā Kurō) is Clown Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man 8. When equipped, Mega Man launches an "elastic" beam of electricity that can not only attack, but is tensile enough to swing from certain hooks; Mega Man can use these to make his way across big gaps. This is Grenade Man's weakness, and it can reflect Grenade Man's bombs back at him, but it is risky. (Grenade Man will also take the same damage if the Thunder Claws strike his body directly.) It's also effective against the Green Devil when its eye is exposed (although they cannot pierce the monster's body), and if Mega Man heads back to the intro stage, they deal the second most damage to the Yadokargo, their damage output being tied with the winds from a Tornado Hold and the explosion of the Flash Bomb. (although the Astro Crush's fireballs do more damage than the Thunder Claws).

For his own version of the weapon, Clown Man sticks his arms into the ground and tries to grab Mega Man from below; if this hits, he will deal damage to the Blue Bomber and call him a "baka."
