- "This weapon releases a boomerang that slices through enemies that come within its trajectory."
- ―Alia, describing X's Wind Cutter, Mega Man X7
Wind Cutter (ウィンドカッター Windo Kattā) is a Special Weapon in Mega Man X7 obtained by X and Axl after defeating Wind Crowrang. With this weapon equipped, X has his colour scheme changed to purple.
When equipped, X/Axl fires an air-element boomerang that homes in on the nearest enemy. The boomerang will return to them if it doesn't hit an enemy or if it strikes an enemy without destroying it. It will not return if it makes contact with an environmental obstacle, but whether it returns or not weapon energy is still consumed. Fired normally, only one Wind Cutter can be on screen at a time.
When charged, X fires eight projectiles in eight directions around himself that home in on enemies. In 2D areas they fire in a ring vertically around X, while in 3D areas they fire in a ring horizontally around him.
This weapon is Vanishing Gungaroo's and Sigma's first form's weakness.
