Ferdinand
Ferdinand (フェルディナント Ferudinanto) is a land vehicle from the Bonne family that was piloted by Tron Bonne during their invasion of Kattelox Island early in Mega Man Legends. After MegaMan takes the key from the Servbots in Downtown, Tron Bonne appears with the Ferdinand to stop him.
Ferdinand has four legs with wheels that allows it to move at high speed and jump large walls. This robot can shoot bullets from the cannon under the body, launch grenades from its nose and head (which can hit from any point in the city they were fighting), and a powerful explosive flame from the front legs that runs on the ground and home into its target. This boss has armored legs but its head is very weak to attacks, making it easy to bring down in the hands of an experienced player despite its high health points. Also, the right front leg of the robot is missing an armor plate in the game, taking more damage.
When destroyed, the legs explode first (either for a logical sense or for a comedic effect), and the chassis falls afterwards, exploding as it hits the ground, sending Tron flipping across the ground covered in soot. She stands up shortly afterwards trying to regain composure, but is entirely covered in black ash, and retreats in a Drache after salvaging what she can of her impression. After stopping the Bonne's initial attack, MegaMan can make donations to Amelia to repair the damage caused by Ferdinand.
