Thunder Bolt (Mega Man)

Thunder Bolt, known as Thunder Strike (サンダーストライク Sandā Sutoraiku) in Japan and in the English version of Mega Man: The Power Battle, is Cloud Man's special weapon. This weapon shoots a ball of electricity straight forward (though due to a program glitch, it tends to curve downward if fired while falling). It travels through walls and splits on impact with an enemy, traveling upwards and downwards.

This weapon will electrocute Junk Man, preventing him from using his Junk Shield and magnetism attacks if used consecutively. It is also an effective weapon to use against VAN Pookin and Bass. Conversely, if the Thunder Bolt is used on Spring Man, it will cause him to become magnetized, and he will pull Mega Man toward him and toss him upward, causing some serious damage (8 units). It will also supercharge Turbo Man, making him temporarily invincible as he drives around his chamber, and will interrupt the elemental orb attack from the Wily Capsule. The Thunder Bolt can also be used to activate the elevating barrel machines in Junk Man's stage so the player can reach the Rush Jet item and momentarily illuminate the dark hallway in Shade Man's stage if the player does not have the Scorch Wheel yet. If the Thunder Bolt is shot on the cloud platforms on Cloud Man's stage, it will cause a thunderstorm in the platform and the electricity can hurt Mega Man.
