Blast Hornet, known as Explose Horneck (エクスプローズ・ホーネック) in Japan, is a Maverick from the X era, appearing as one of the main bosses in Mega Man X3. He is a bomb-themed Reploid based on a hornet, who harasses targets from above with bee-shaped bomb drones. He was formerly a Maverick Hunter in the Special 0 Unit before he was infected by the Sigma Virus in Dopple Town.
In the Games
Mega Man X3
Blast Hornet debuts in Mega Man X3 as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He is a Maverick Hunter who was infected by the Sigma Virus in Dopple Town, and serves as the boss of Weapons Factory Stage. He attacks relentlessly from the air and can be difficult to hit during flight. Defeating Blast Hornet grants X the Parasitic Bomb. His weakness is the Gravity Well, from Gravity Beetle, which pulls him down to the floor. A boss attack rematch with Blast Hornet later occurs in Doppler Stage C.
Mega Man Xtreme 2
In Mega Man Xtreme 2, Blast Hornet returns as a resurrected Maverick guardian of Laguz Island. He is one of the four bosses in Zero Mission, being the boss of Aerial Battleship Stage. He has new Special Weapons for X and Zero: Bomb Bee and Earth Gaizer, respectively. He is weak to Sonic Slicer and Template:MMXIILink. Blast Hornet is later part of the boss attack in the Template:MMXIILink in Extreme Mode.

Blast Hornet | |
Second-in-command of the Special 0 Unit. When Dr. Doppler sent a message inviting Zero to Dopple Town, Zero was too busy and sent Hornet in his stead. Little did he know that his friend would soon become a Maverick. Hornet is armed with compact bee bombs which he will unleash in punishing swarms until the enemy is obliterated. He is not the most powerful of Reploids, so he uses agility and good planning to his advantage, flitting through the air with his lightweight body when danger draws near. |
