@@teaoftraffic ikr. Honey/Hornet/Vesper Woman is such a wasted design. Appearently she were scrapped after Splash's creation because Capcom thought two women in a roster will upset the player base.

In 20XX, except from the literally one-in-a-hundred outlier that is Splash Woman, the only female robot any major faction ever built is a freaking maid. In 21XX, only female reploids ever seen in either the Hunters, Reploidforce, or Sigma's Mavericks are those navigators and medics away from the frontline. In Zero, the first thing Leviathan says before her fight is to tell Zero not to hold back because she is a woman, suggesting even in future so distant, women are still somehow considered weaker and not belong in battle!

Having a cool female character is nice, but making her stand out as the only one or special few amongst countless background guys while keep drawing attention to it just gives a sour taste, especially in unjustified senarios such as an army of sexless ROBOTS. Because, the sad truth is, an all-guys squad doesn't evoke the same sense of fantasy as a girl team, but a reminder of unfortunate reality. I wish Capcom ditches the lame old excuses and learn from extraordinary fan games like this one, by giving us 3 to 5 female robot masters or mavericks in each future installments. It takes nothing away from Mega Man's core value and enriches the setting a lot, and many different parts of the fanbase will be pleased too. For everlasting peace.
For anyone who's still having trouble with Beetle Lady, I just discovered a blind spot. See those nine dirt pebbles in the center of her boss room? When she uses her dandelion attack from the right, stand on the seventh and eighth pebbles. When she uses it from the left, stand on the first and second pebbles. As long as you don't jump, all six dandelion puffs will miss you.

S/N-00C Beetle Lady Role: Reforestation Robot Weapon: Beetle Drone Beetle Lady was made to aid in the reforestation efforts. She has a special compound that promotes the growth of plants. She can use this to grow giant dandelions then use the jets built into her back to blow the seeds towards her enemies. She can also call in her signature weapons, Beetle Drones, than can track down and eliminate her intruders. However, said drones are prone to getting trapped.
So happy they added Honey Woman to this game. She actually inspired a robot in the comics. Vesper Woman.
pretty sure it’s just hornet man’s concept design which is 100% better than his actual design don’t change my mind

That's actually Vesper Woman, the beta design for Hornet Man!

Aww poor Plant Man, running away from Beetle Lady and probably Vesper Woman xD
honey woman*
hornet man but woman
So honey woman weakness to fire breath
Should have been "Beetle Woman".
I think its because she’s based on a lady bug and it would make sense to have “lady” instead of “woman” in her name.
Who do you think is a better boss fight hornet Man or vesper/honey woman?
