Beat is a bird-type combat support robot from the Mega Man series built by Dr. Cossack for Mega Man to help him protect the world. He serves a support role by either attacking enemies or protecting Mega Man, depending on the game.
Appearances
Mega Man 5, 6, and VI
Beat is available for collecting all the plates in his first appearance. He is able to damage many bosses, except two bosses fought in the castle stages. In his next appearance, the player will need to find all the plates in four of the stages (in the boss doors). Beat, unlike his character in his first appearance, cannot damage any in-game bosses at all, thus being weakened.
