The Romper is an enemy from Mega Man 8 and Mega Man & Bass, appearing in Clown Man's stage in Mega Man 8 and Magic Man's stage in Mega Man & Bass. It was introduced to Mega Man Maker as of version 1.8.0.

The Romper is very small (around three-eighths of a tile, but is still 1x1 in the Level Builder) and walks forward at a slow pace. Once it makes contact with the player, it will latch onto them and drain either their health or weapon energy depending of its specific settings.

A Romper can be set as one of four spawn options:

1. Dropping in from its position in the builder when spawned in
2. Dropping in from edge of the screen above when the player is less than one tile next horizontally from its position
3. Jumping two tiles horizontally when spawned in
4. Clinging onto solid objects placed above such as ladders, a ceiling or Weapon Block in the Level Builder, dropping in when the player is less than one tile horizontally from its position. If there are no solid objects above, the Romper will drop down as normal and start walking in its set direction.

Romper comes in five colors: red, green, yellow, blue, and purple.

• Red Romper will take small amount of health.
• Green Romper will take small amount of weapon energy.
• Yellow Romper will take big amount of health.
• Blue Romper will take big amount of weapon energy.
• Purple Romper will grab the player, only hindering their movement and taking no health or weapon energy.

The purple Romper variant was added in version 1.8.4.

Trivia

• Green Rompers, known as Rompers G, originally stole the player's screws in Mega Man & Bass. However, there are no screws in Mega Man Maker, thus they instead take weapon energy.
• In Mega Man 8, when stealing the player's health, it is not visible as flying away from player. It is a reference to Mega Man & Bass where stolen screws are visible as flying away.
• The blue and yellow Romper variants were originally thought of as options for the red and green variants, but were added as their own assets for gameplay and color blindness purposes.
