Square Machine

Background

Square Machine is the boss from Cossack Stage 2 in Mega Man 4. It is an intruder prevention shutter made to protect important locations, such as the base's large mother computer. It slides around the room in three parts, similar to a slot game, doing so at various speeds. At its slowest speed, it will stop and combine together, and Mega Man must be inside when it closes to attack it. It is not possible to pass by its sturdy walls while closed. When it is fully formed, its weak spot, a large flashing red light on the top, will appear inside, and it will attack with plasma energy. Its weakness is Dust Crusher, although the Wire Adapter can be used as well to deal multiple hits. Mega Man will have to ride the maintenance platforms forgotten inside to reach the weak point and dodge the shots as he attacks.

Powers and Abilities

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Large Size (Type 0; Is this large compared to Mega Man), Inorganic Physiology (Type 2; Square Machines are merely robots, arguably less advanced the Robot Masters as they likely have no real personality functions), Self-Sustenance (Types 1, 2, & 3; As a robot, does not need to breathe, eat, or sleep), Psuedo-Body Control (Despite it not realy having a body, the square machine can seperate its top, middle, and bottom parts), Flight (Naturally off the ground and flies arund with its top, middle and bottom parts), Energy Projection (The red part in top part of the square machine can shoot out energy projectiles), Immortality (Type 8; All robots "true existences" rely on their data, thus as long as their data is stored they can be remade or come back if their data is specifically "SAVED". With data further being explored through here), Regeneration (Mid-Godly through their data; In Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha, Rockman Shadow's data comes out of his deceased body and regenerates a new body at the very end post-credits of the game. In Mega Man Xtreme, Sigma was trying to reproduce the past data of several mavericks in the mother computer to bring havoc to the world's peace and the only way the past data of previously defeated Mavericks from X1 and X2 could be stopped is if X goes inside as his data form. Inside the Mother Computer, X defeats Vile's data form along with the data forms of a bunch of mavericks he has previously defeated. However, despite defeating their data form, their data is still are able to come back for the rematches at the end of the game along with Vile being back in the hard mode's post game story. Despite destroying Vile's data twice, he was still able to come back and better then ever in Mega Man X8. In Mega Man ZX, Omega's soul data along with flashes of the past battle in Zero 3 are trapped in area O and even after defeat, he can come back without limit even after obtaining Model OX which contains his soul data. With data further being explored through here), Resurrection (Robots that are fought and defeated are able to be brought back as long as they still have their data, with this also extending to reploids being able to come back for rematches. With data further being explored through here), Information Manipulation (Can directly interact with, harm, and destroy a robots data, which all robots "true existences" rely on their data, thus as long as their data is stored they can be remade or come back if their data is specifically "SAVED". With data further being explored through here).

Resistance to Mind Manipulation and Soul Manipulation (As a Mechaniloid, has even less emotions and AI then a Robot Master where despite how active Robot Masters are they do not actually possess the feeling to think, feel, and make decisions of their own as this level of technology wasn't realized until the reploids of the X era. Along with Reploids having something closer to a human soul then any robot Robot Master has. Robot Masters have a "consciousness" though it is different from the standard humans consciousness as it's at the level of a "cognitive circuit" embedded inside each one of them), Light Manipulation & Paralysis Inducement (Has a complete immunity to flash stopper), Water Manipulation & Acid Manipulation (Has a complete immunity to rain flush), Heat Manipulation & Fire Manipulation (Has a complete immunity to pharaoh shot), Penetration Damage (Has a complete immunity to ring boomerang), Explosion Manipulation (Has a complete immunity to dive missile), Forcefield Creation (Has a complete immunity to skull barrier)
