Background
Mercury is one of the first four Stardroids that Mega Man must fight in Mega Man V. He is a greedy Stardroid whose body is made of liquid metal, and is thus able to take any form and dismantle himself to attack, similar to the Devil series, and is quick at running away after causing mischief. His main weapon is the Grab Buster, an attack that can steal energy and items from enemies and absorb them to recover his health. Sometimes Mercury also uses the Grab Buster on his allies, and he has a loose tongue, which doesn't give him many friends as a result. He doesn't get along with Pluto, and he hates people who gossip maliciously about him.
Most walkthroughs recommend taking on Mercury first, since he seems to be easily beaten with the Mega Arm (this strategy also saves the player from losing valuable small Energy Tanks to the Grab Buster as there are none in Mercury's stage). Later on, when the player faces him again in Wily's Space Lab, Mega Man can use his weakness, the Black Hole, to defeat him quickly.

|
Mercury starts the fight by firing a flurry of nine dangerous Grab Busters, which will steal the player's items, including E-Tank parts, P Chips, Weapon Energy and even S-Tanks. The player has to jump in the same place over the first, fifth and last ones from its place to avoid all of them. After that, he will become liquid and divide himself into several small blobs, which come in two patterns: one in which three blobs jump twice and stop at the other side of the screen, which has to be avoided by standing at half-screen and slide when a blob comes, then return there again and repeat the process for the remaining blobs; and the other pattern consists of dashing while deploying three blobs that return to him, which has to be avoided by jumping fast so Mercury does not run into Mega Man while he dashes and again over the farthest one of him. His Grab Buster flurry can be interrupted if either Mega Man or Mercury get hit, which he retaliates immediately by dismantling and attacking as above. Mercury's weakness is the Black Hole, but it can only be tested on the rematch against him in Wily's Star. It takes him out in four shots. |

Status: Alive, Unknown in the X Series (Takes place many years in the future where the fate of prior classic series characters are unknown, with it being implied their data still exists as Cut Man's data exists still)
Alignment: Lawful Evil after being reprogrammed by Dr. Wily (Reprogrammed by Dr. Wily to help him conquer the world and destroy Mega Man)
Codex Statistics
Tier: At most High 6-A, Higher with Rage Power
Dimensionality: 3-D
Attack Potency: At most Multi-Continent level (Fought against and harmed Mega Man, who was able to fight on par with beings such as Duo, whose fight with Evil Robot caused a cloud explosion on Jupiter which was at this level), Higher with Rage Power (When Robot Masters are damaged to about half their health, they become invulnerable for a few seconds and perform more powerful attacks)
Durability: At most Multi-Continent level (Can take hits from Mega Man)
Striking Strength: At most Multi-Continent Class, Higher with Rage Power
Lifting Strength: Class G (The Robot Masters are normally made to be on par or superior to 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 and Robot Masters such as Splash Woman having comparable feats such as lifting entire ships from the ocean)
Travel Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Can move this fast compared to Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo, who can travel around the earth destroying evil energy around this timeframe), Speed of Light with Teleporters (Robot Masters teleporters should scale to Mega Man and Proto Man’s teleportation, where they are able to travel planets and solar systems in a short time frame[1], reaching this levels of speed)
Combat Speed: Relativistic+ (Can keep up with Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo in combat who uses attacks that involve his travel speed, where Duo is capable of traveling through galaxies while doing his job and likely travels across the universe doing his job to destroy the Evil Energy)
Reaction Speed: Relativistic+ (Can react to Cut Man who can cut objects while teleporting. Can keep up with Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo in combat who uses attacks that involve his travel speed, where Duo is capable of traveling through galaxies while doing his job and likely travels across the universe doing his job to destroy the Evil Energy)
Stamina: Essentially Limitless as long as they are powered by solar energy (All Robot Masters bodies are powered by solar energy, effectively giving them limitless stamina and ammo[2][3][4][5])
Range: Standard Melee Range, Hundreds of Meters with attacks, Interplanetary with Teleporters (All robot masters naturally display teleportation through teleporters interplanetary distances[6])
Intelligence: Gifted (Can keep up with Mega Man in combat)
Powers and Techniques
Equipment
Nothing notable.
Notable Techniques
- Grab Buster: Grab Buster, known as Snatch Buster in Japan, is Mercury's special weapon from Mega Man V. When Mercury uses it against Mega Man, he can steal weapon energy, Tanks and P-Chips. Mercury can also fire it diagonally. Mercury fires his first, fifth, and ninth shots close to the ground.
Other
Standard Tactics: Mercury will shoot the grab buster at his opponent along with transforming into his gellatinous form in order to attack the enemy.
Weaknesses: Has a weakness to Saturn's black hole. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.
Trivia
- Mercury is named after the planet Mercury, which is named after the messenger of the gods and god of thieves from Roman mythology. His name may also be based on the element Mercury, as he can become liquid and dismantle himself like the Yellow Devil to attack.
- Strangely, Mercury likes communism despite being greedy - communism's primary concept is that everything should be seized and distributed fairly, while Mercury only seems to adhere to the first part of this philosophy.

Dr. Wily has reformed, and he and Dr. Right have joined forces, working together to develop a giant peace-keeping robot named “GAMMA”.
“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!!

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.

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
- ↑ 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. - ↑ PEACE HAS COME TO THE WORLD.
