In an effort to explain some of Issen's abilities, I have created this little mini-chapter. To avoid any claims of rule-breaking, I have added in a slight story element to it. As I say, "Bending the rules is sometimes okay, but breaking them is never a good idea." Capcom owns MegaMan. I own Issen.

Robot was last detected in Northern Russia. Seek and destroy. Its abilities are as follows.

Armor form 1: Combat- Issen's normal armor. Extremly dangerous in this form.

Armor form 2: Stealth- His armor disappears completely and loses all of its protective qualities. His helmet also disappears, while his blades merely fold up. They remain folded until he returns to combat armor, causing him to rely on his buster in this form. Also serves as a repair mode.

Attack style 1: Blades: Issen has twin blades attached to his arms that swing down to his hands for combat. These blades are around five and a half feet, giving Issen an advantage in hand-to-hand combat. The blades can be folded up for easier movement when sneaking around in both armor modes.

Attack style 2: Busters: Issen has his buster built into his right and left palms instead of having a full buster arm. His charge shots take less time than most, but they are weaker than most. He has excellent aim however, which means most of his shots impact the enemy. Issen's normal buster shot can be used like a stun gun for knocking out humans.

Specialized abilities--

Blade shield: Issen's blades absorb energy attacks. This can be used to either heal damage or copy the attack. The only problem is that, like King's shield, Issen's blades can become overwhelmed.

This increases all movement capabilities and powers for a limited time. This must be charged, and takes far longer than a single charged shot to do so. Boost also allows for 'wall sliding'.

Power Draw- Issen can consume energy from any source if he has physical contact with it. While this includes a humans' bio-electrical energy, he is programmed to only disable humans instead of killing them. He can, however, kill most robots with this ability.

Cloak- Issen is equipped with a cloaking device that can be used for a limited time. While Issen CAN attack with his cloak enabled, it causes his time to decrease even faster. However, if he uses the 'Power Draw' ability, it extends his time instead of healing him.

"So this is the thing we're supposed to be hunting?"

It was cold. It was so cold that most of the humans were staying inside of the Mobile Command Vehicle. The Major, however, wouldn't back away from the chilling blizzard Mother Russia sent at him. "Yes. The Russians don't know we're here yet, and I'd like to keep it that way."

"Yes sir. Anything I can get you while I'm out here sir?"

"No, but do me a favor and tell the boys inside to dispatch the drone team immediately and keep a look out for the Russian 'bot that's supposed to be running around these parts. I think Dr. Cossack named it 'SnowMan'. Sounds like something I made as a kid if you ask me."

The soldier beside him chuckled. "Yeah. I'll go deliver the news. What should our teams do if we come into contact with it?"

"Kill it. What else would we do, serve it tea?"

"No sir. For us, it's kill it and grill it."

"Good man. Now get to work."

See? Like I said, a mini-chapter. Thanks for reading and eat more chocolate!
