Attack: Needle Cannon
Debut: Megaman 3 (1990)
Subsequent Appearances:

Megaman Super Adventure (1998)
TV Show Appearances: Bro Bots
Notes: This hulking robot carries some heavy firepower. The Needle Cannon fires seferal sharp projectiles at a time, and Needleman also has a devestating headbutt attack. Combine that with some tough armor, and you have a robot that's tough to put down.
Strengths: Needleman's outer shell is tough to crack, and he has a lot of firepower at his disposal.
Weakness: A focused weapon that concentrates its power onto a small point (like the Gemini Laser or the Top Spin) is your best chance to pierce Needleman's armor. He's big on aerial offense, so a wind-based weapon such as the Air Shooter is also effective.
