Mega Man 7/Enemies and bosses

Regular enemies
Default sorting is by endurance. Legend:
 * HP: Hit Points, not "health points", because robots have no health.
 * Main attack (notes): grouped in few sets; "shot" attacks can be blocked by the Proto Shield.

Obstacles
These enemies cannot be defeated, and their attacks have to be dodged.

Sub-bosses
These enemies cannot be dodged, and they have to be defeated.

Robot Masters
As in every Mega Man game since Mega Man 2, the eight Robot Masters were selected from the designs sent to Capcom from the fans of the series.

In the serial numbers, "DW" stands for "Dr. Wily".

Freeze Man
''Freeze Man used to be a prototype of a robot that runs on green energy. He is able to split normal room temperature into high and low temperatures, the former is used to power his body while the latter is used as his weapon, the Freeze Cracker.''
 * Serial: DW No. 49
 * Character designer: Shigeaki Shimoto

Freeze Man can be disrupted with orbiting junk, but this weakness does not affect him as badly as other robot masters.

Junk Man
Junk Man was created by Dr. Wily out of used robot parts to help him search for parts that can be used for robot masters, but was turned into a robot master himself after Dr. Wily noted his strength and resilience.
 * Serial: DW No.50
 * Character designer: Jun Akiba

He can generate electromagnetic forces that let him manipulate junk metal, using it for his attacks. A powerful jolt of electricity can disturb the electromagnetism that holds his body together, causing him to fall apart temporarily.

Burst Man
Burst Man was created to guard a chemical plant, but was stolen and modified for combat by Dr. Wily.
 * Serial: DW No.51
 * Character designer: Keishi Tsuchiya

He stores explosives and soapy liquids inside his body which are used for generating bubbles, as well as creating his Danger Wrap, a bomb wrapped inside a strong bubble. The liquids in his body make him vulnerable to sudden changes in temperature, forcing him to expel several explosives.

Cloud Man
Cloud Man was originally a weather control robot before he was stolen by Dr. Wily to have his control over lightning amplified.
 * Serial: DW No.52
 * Character designer: Isao Nakagiri

He has no legs, instead he hovers above the ground using an anti-gravitational device. He can charge himself up with lightning to render him invincible to all attacks, then direct it onto the ground. He can also stir up strong winds and heavy rainfall. Cloud Man has great difficulty getting out of bubbles, and can only wait helplessly if he is encased by Danger Wrap.

Spring Man
Spring Man was created by Dr. Wily and possesses thousands of springs in his body.
 * Serial: DW No.53
 * Character designer: Akira Ito

His springs enable him to jump to great heights, extend his punches and generate spike-tipped springs called Wild Coils. He can also utilize bolts of electricity to create a vaccuum effect around him. Spring Man is weak to sharp weapons as they can cut the springs inside his body.

Slash Man
Slash Man was created by Dr. Wily to clear forests for his secret bases.
 * Serial: DW No.54
 * Character designer: Yoichi Amano

He possesses great speed and agility. He has a portable version of an asteroid-destroying device called the Slash Claw, as well as a storage of red adhesive bombs. Slash Man is vulnerable to rapid changes in temperature, as low temperatures causes him to hibernate while high temperatures causes him to dehydrate.

Shade Man
Shade Man was originally an attraction in an amusement park, but was modified by Dr. Wily with sound equipment used for mind control.
 * Serial: DW No.55
 * Character designer: Tetsuya Watada

A defect in the equipment lets him create powerful sound waves in the form of Noise Crush, which can bounce of walls and grow in power. He can even absorb sound waves from other sources to create stronger Noise Crushes. Like a traditional vampire, he can suck energy out of robots. His weakness is Wild Coil, which can knock him out of a fight.

Turbo Man
Turbo Man was created by Dr. Wily using parts from his old car.
 * Serial: DW No.56
 * Character designer: Takashi Kino

He is able to transform between a robot master and a racing car, but the transformation is imperfect. He can also generate Scorch Wheels using the petrol he runs on. Strong bursts of electricity can render him invincible, but powerful soundwaves may disrupt his transformation system.
