Cossack Catcher
Background
The Cossack Catcher is the machine that Dr. Cossack uses against Mega Man in the fourth stage from Dr. Cossack's Citadel in Mega Man 4. Dr. Cossack based its design on games that he was good at when younger. Its magic hand (claw-shaped manipulator) is capable of causing heavy damage to what it catches.

The Cossack Catcher's weakness is the Dust Crusher, although the fully-charged shot from the Mega Buster deals more damage. Mega Man can also use the Wire adapter to inflict some damage against the machine. To avoid the risk of getting caught by the claw while standing directly under the machine, Mega Man should stand against the step in the boss room and begin firing the Wire Adapter just before the claw is directly over him. When the machine is chasing the player across the room, the player must slide to avoid being caught in the claw, which will not only deal damage when it drops the player, but also disables the Special Weapon-switch screen until the player is dropped. One must make sure they have enough health to withstand the claw's drop damage, as the player cannot use an E-Tank until they are dropped. There is also the chance, if the machine is low enough, of hitting it twice with one shot of the Wire—once on the way up, and again on the way back down. When the Cossack Catcher has only two units of health left, Proto Man will appear with Kalinka and she stops the battle. Dr. Cossack leaves the machine to reunite with his daughter, and the Cossack Catcher explodes when Dr. Wily appears. |

Weaknesses: Nothing notable.
- ↑ 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. - ↑ 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. - ↑ Weapon: Transforming Rockbuster, fires a solar bullet
- ↑ Power Source/ R.S. Power Reactor (Micro-sized) Right Solar Power Pile Dr. Right-made Solar Energy Generator
- ↑ 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.
