The original '''Shield Attacker''' from ''[[Mega Man 4]]''. It appeared in the stages of Dust Man and [[Skull Man]], as well as the fourth Dr. Cossack's Citadel stage and the third Wily Castle stage. It will turn around when entering in contact with walls or with a solid level object. It comes in red and fuchsia and its direction can be set in the [[Level Builder]].
'''Wall Blaster''' is a ''[[Mega Man 4]]'' [[Enemies|enemy]] included in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' version [[1.3.0]]. It is a red cannon attached to a wall with its gears exposed that can aim itself in seven different angles in a 160° vertical area. It fires three projectiles at a time, and its aim can change if the player moves. If the player is not within their range, Wall Blasters will not shoot. Their aim will be frontal if the player is near the same height, which can cause the Wall Blaster to fail at aiming at the player character accurately. It is meant to be stuck to a wall, but is not affected by gravity. Therefore, it can appear floating in the air and cannot be crushed by [[Level Objects]].

It only appeared in [[Crystal Man]]'s stage. The New Shield Attacker has the same behavior of the ''Mega Man 4'' Shield Attacker, including its customizable direction. It only comes in orange.

'''Hannya Attacker''' is a variant of the Shield Attacker introduced in ''[[Mega Man 8]]'' and that reappeared in ''[[Mega Man & Bass]]''. In contrast to other Shield Attackers, the Hannya Attacker has a unique appearance that consists on an Oni mask. It has its own trajectory and it does not stop when touching walls and passes through terrain.


When spinning, this enemy is vulnerable to attacks until it fully turns its direction. Its direction can be customized with a button to go to left or right in the [[Level Builder]].
Its direction in the [[Level Builder]] can be flipped horizontally, but it will not change in-game, since it is supposed to be a fixed enemy.

It is a red cannon attached to a wall with its gears exposed that can aim itself in seven different angles in a 160° vertical area. It fires three projectiles at a time, and its aim can change if the player moves. If the player is not within their range, Wall Blasters will not shoot. Their aim will be frontal if the player is near the same height, which can cause the Wall Blaster to fail at aiming at the player character accurately. It is meant to be stuck to a wall, but is not affected by gravity. Therefore, it can appear floating in the air and cannot be crushed by Level Objects.

Its direction in the Level Builder can be flipped horizontally, but it will not change in-game, since it is supposed to be a fixed enemy.
