Bospider (ボスパイダー, Bosupaidā, portmanteau of "boss" and "spider"), known as Bosspider in the remake Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, is the giant spider boss at the end of the first part of the final stages in Mega Man X, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, and Mega Man Xtreme. It was developed to be a large-scale Crusher that was once used to crush scrap metal before being roped into guarding Sigma's fortress, where it moves in a web-shaped rail. Although it was supposed to be an invincible defense mechanism, the shock when hitting the ground causes it to expose its weak point due to a design error.

Codex Statistics

Tier: At least 8-B, likely Far Higher

Cardinality: Finite

Dimensionality: 3-D

Power Source: Solar Energy (Robot Masters[1][2][3] are built in with[4] usages of solar energy to charge their bodies and use their weapons essentially limitlessly[5])

Attack Potency: At least City Block level (Potency), likely Far Higher (Can fight and harm X. where Dr. Light putting a warning that X would be so powerful that no force on Earth could stop him[6] and that X would need to be sealed for 30 years until he could reliably be placed amongst humanity[6]. Dr. Light even described the danger of X of being far beyond any of Dr. Wily's Incidents[7]. Even the likes of Bass, is considered only at the level of a prototype battle reploid[8]. As such it is far superior to Classic Era Mega Man, who can[9] fight[10] against[11] the[12] Robot[13] Masters[14] of Mega[15] Man 1[16], who cause multiple explosions encompassing this size[17])

Durability: At least City Block level (Potency), likely Far Higher (Is noted to have defense so high it is said to be an invincible defense mechanism normally[18] and it can only be harmed on it's weakpoint. Can take hits from First Armor X on its weakpoint)

Striking Strength: At least City Block Class (Potency), likely Far Higher

Lifting Strength: At least Class G (Reploids and X-Era Mechaniloids are far superior to the Robot Masters and Mega Man, who was able to hold up Dr. Wily's fortress at end of Mega Man 5, with Robot Masters such as Guts Man being superior in strength to Mega Man and Robot Masters such as Splash Woman having comparable feats such as lifting entire ships from the ocean)

Travel Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Can travel at speeds relative to X and gets faster the more it gets hit. Far beyond the likes of Duo, who is capable of traveling through galaxies while doing his job and likely travels across the universe doing his job to destroy the Evil Energy. Scales far above Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo, who can travel around the earth destroying evil energy around this timeframe)

Attack Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Is able to keep up with X's movements and attacks quickly. Far beyond the likes of Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo in combat who uses attacks that involve his travel speed)

Reaction Speed: Massively Hypersonic Can keep up with X in combat. Far beyond the likes of Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo in combat who uses attacks that involve his travel speed)

Stamina: Essentially Limitless due to being a robot (Should compare to reploids who are solar powered. Superior in model to the Robot Masters, whose bodies are powered by solar energy, effectively giving them limitless stamina and ammo[19][20][21][22])

Range: Extended Melee through Large Size, Higher with Creation & Technological Manipulation (Can create lasers throughout a room with these devices and launches several Petipiders to the ground to walk around the room)

Intelligence: Animalistic Intelligence (Is a Spider Mechaniloid created to just attack and moves around the room mindlessly following the pseudo-lasers it randomly creates until it rams the floor which exposes its weakpoint)

Knowledge: Animalistic level


Powers and Techniques







Equipment

None Notable

Notable Techniques

Body Slam (体当たり)[74]
Bosspider waits for threads to appear, then rushes down them and slams onto the floor. This exposes its weakpoint.
Damage: 8
Mini Spiders (小グモ)[74]
Bosspider releases four Petitpiders.
Damage: 4

Other

Standard Tactics: Bospider creates random paths down its four rails to crush X, so the player must stay on the move. Its method of navigation is similar to Japanese lot-drawing, or Amidakuji. It has strong defense, but a red core on its abdomen, its weak point, will be exposed when it hits the ground. Occasionally it will spawn four Petitpiders before moving though it will also do this in the middle of its path if the player is in the air. As its health drops, Bospider will move faster while in Maverick Hunter X, the delay between the moment the lasers appear and the moment Bosspider starts moving decreases (in Hard difficulty only).

Weaknesses: Shotgun Ice (Mega Man X), Magnet Mine (Mega Man Xtreme). Mindlessly goes down a random set of threads it creates. Ramming the ground exposes its core which is its weakspot. If it's data is corrupted it can't come back.

Trivia

  • When Bosspider dies in Maverick Hunter X, it rolls over onto its back and tucks its legs to its body before exploding which is a common misconception of how spiders die in real life. In fact, spiders never roll onto their backs, but stay upright while their legs curl up.
  • Bospider is similar to Yellow Devil, as they're both the first final enemy of the final stages of the first games of the eras they appear with, and need to be damaged in their red weakspots and are infamous for their difficulty in their boss fights.
    • Ironically enough, Bospider has a Yellow Devil MK-II costume during the Halloween event for Mega Man XDive.

  1. Dr. "I’m Always" Right Breaks It Down Q. What kind of foods does Rockman like to eat?
    A. Well… Actually, Rockman’s body is powered by “Solar Energy.” Therefore, he doesn’t really eat, but there are some things that are okay for his consumption… Around the lab, he enjoys drinking “Energy Juice.” As responsibly as he behaves, he’s still a kid after all.
  2. Q. The shots that the Rockbuster fires from the hand, what are those exactly?
    A. The Rockbuster on the arm fires something called a “Solar Bullet”, essentially emitting a compressed form of solar energy that’s very powerful.

  5. Q. Do robots like those made by Dr. Wily or Dr. Cossack have self-awareness, and can they talk? And do they run on solar energy like Rockman does?
    A. I take it you’d like to know if Wily and Cossack’s robots possess “sentience”? Naturally, they each have a “consciousness”, although the level of every “cognitive circuit” embedded inside each one of them varies, producing as many different “personality” types as found in people… Just like you or I, they can speak, and have emotional responses like shyness, or anger, just as we do.
    Regarding their energy systems, many of them do utilize “solar energy” in some way.
  6. 6.0 6.1 WARNING:
    "X" IS THE FIRST OF A NEW GENERATION OF ROBOTS WHICH CONTAIN AN INNOVATIVE NEW FEATURE - THE ABILITY TO THINK, FEEL, AND MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS. HOWEVER, THIS ABILITY COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. IF "X" WERE TO BREAK THE FIRST RULE OF ROBOTICS, "A ROBOT MUST NEVER HARM A HUMAN BEING", THE RESULTS WOULD BE DISASTROUS AND I FEAR THAT NO FORCE ON EARTH COULD STOP HIM.
    APPROXIMATELY 30 YEARS WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE WE CAN SAFELY CONFIRM HIS RELIABILITY. UNFORTUNATELY, I WILL NOT LIVE TO SEE THAT DAY, NOR DO I HAVE ANYONE TO CARRY ON MY WORK. THEREFORE, I HAVE DECIDED TO SEAL HIM IN THIS CAPSULE WHICH WILL TEST HIS INTERNAL SYSTEMS UNTIL HIS RELIABILITY HAS BEEN CONFIRMED. PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB THE CAPSULE UNTIL THAT TIME.
    "X" POSSESSES GREAT RISKS AS WELL AS GREAT POSSIBILITIES. I CAN ONLY HOPE FOR THE BEST.

  7. Mega Man X Japanese Manual - “X” presents many problems inconceivable in existing robots. There is a danger he may worry over or question even the absolute requirement for robots, “Do not harm a human.” The act of worrying in “X” marks a new epoch in robotics and is the first time this experiment has succeeded, but if it extends to matters that by their nature must not be questioned, it would be disastrous. In the worst case, if a robot were to harm humans deliberately, humankind would tremble with fear the like of which was unknown even in the days of the “Dr. Wily” incidents… I conclude that “X” is an extremely dangerous being. If I am to send “X” out into the world, he must have a verification period of 30 years at the least. However, I do not have that long to live, and regrettably there is no one who understands all my research to carry it on for me. Therefore I seal “X” here. If by some chance there is someone who discovers this capsule, as long as “X’s” thinking has not been fully analyzed, please leave him untouched. “X” is a robot laden with both unlimited possibility and unlimited danger…
  8. Rockman Online Blog Forte Dossier "Forte is a robot Dr. Wily created modeled after Rockman’s design, equipped with the energy source “Fortenium.” With a base on incredible power output and excellent mobility, his combat ability is near prototypes of battle Repliroids we have now.
    Forte possess impressive AI, and for that reason he, unlike other robots, appears to be able to disobey his own master’s orders. This has points of similarity to the AI of present day Repliroids.
    Forte views Rockman as his rival incredibly strongly, and for that reason he has an intense aspiration for the power to beat Rockman. Since he has a design like Rockman’s, he can achieve greater power through fusion.
    Should nothing else come up that’s contradictory to this information, this robot, with consideration to the special characteristics of his infinite Fortenium power source, has a high likelihood of being closely similar to the prototypes of this era."

    “GAMMA”…… It was the life-long dream of Dr. Right, a giant robot to protect and serve world peace.
    Their research almost complete, all that remained was to combine 8 energy elements that were scattered about the uncharted planets, and bestow them to “GAMMA”…
    –However, each planet met with an unexpected incident. The robots who were mining the energy elements suddenly began going berserk!! Upon learning of this from Dr. Right, “ROCKMAN” immediately set out on a path for the uncharted planets–a new battle was about to begin!!
