Properide (プロペライド Puroperaido) is an indestructible platform from Mega Man 7. It is a Bunby Top that was remodeled to carry objects, changes including having the polarity from its power supply inverted.[1] They are found in Junk Man's stage, and are docile until a junk block from a chute above them slams onto their head, which appears to annoy them. Bits of junk will then be fired from the block until it is destroyed, after which the Properide will return to its normal behavior.
Etymology
Its name is a portmanteau of "propeller" and "ride".
Other media
Properide had a brief appearance in the Rockman 7 manga.
Trivia
