The Mad Grinder is the boss of Mega Man 7's opening stage. At the start of the game, this robot rampages across Monstropolis in order to cover Dr. Wily's escape from prison. When Mega Man encounters it, the Mad Grinder has already suffered damage and cannot use its full range of attacks. When at optimal condition, it can launch its mohawk along the ground like a saw blade and slice enemies to ribbons, spew jets of fire from the flamethrower in its mouth and lift its front roller up to shield its face and to crush foes beneath it. It can only use its mohawk saw in MM7 but possesses its full range of abilities in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters.
