Wheel Gator, known as Wheel Alligates (ホイール・アリゲイツ) in Japan, is a Maverick from the X era, first appearing as one of the main bosses in Mega Man X2. He is a spike-themed Reploid based on an alligator, who hides underwater to ambush targets with his jaws. He is an SA-Class Maverick who was formerly a Maverick Hunter in the 6th Naval Unit.

In the Games

Mega Man X2

Sprite from Mega Man X2.

Wheel Gator debuts in Mega Man X2 as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He serves as the boss of Dinosaur Tank Stage. The Japanese game manual explains that he is a former Maverick Hunter of the 6th Naval Unit who joined Sigma's rebellion, and is now bulldozing an entire city using a giant dinosaur-shaped tank.[2]

Wheel Gator spends large portions of the battle underwater, attempting to ambush the player and crowding the arena with bladed wheels. Defeating Wheel Gator grants X the Spin Wheel. His weakness is the Strike Chain, from Wire Sponge, which briefly stuns him in place. A boss attack rematch with Wheel Gator later occurs in X-Hunter Stage 4.

Mega Man Xtreme

Sprite from Mega Man Xtreme.

In Mega Man Xtreme, Wheel Gator returns as a digitized Maverick in the Mother Computer. He is one of the four bosses in Hard Mode, being the boss of Dinosaur Tank Stage. He again yields Spin Wheel to X, but because Wire Sponge is not in the game, Gator is instead weak to Magna Centipede's Magnet Mine. Wheel Gator is later part of the boss attack in Sigma Stage 3.
