Rush


 * You may be looking for the game Sonic Rush.

Rush is a robotic dog that belongs to Mega Man in the Mega Man comic series. It was created by Dr. Thomas Light after the events of Mega Man 2 in order for Mega Man to have additional help while facing Dr. Albert Wily's forces, namely the Robot Masters. His first appearance in the Mega Man franchise was in Mega Man 3, as additional help for Mega Man during his journeys.

Making New Friends
Along with Tango, Beat, and Eddie, Rush was summoned by Mega Man to help him in his battle against Sonic the Hedgehog, who at the time Mega Man considered an enemy. After a brief but intense scuffle, Rush and his master were attacked-along with Sonic-by Tails Man of the Roboticized Masters, and the heroes quickly put aside their fight to protect civilians. Once Tails Man was restored to his organic form of Tails, Rush befriended the two, accompanying them, Mega Man, and his fellow robots back to Light Labs. Once the heroes managed to open a Warp Ring to follow the villainous robots, Rush came along at Proto Man's insistence. The robot dog thus entered the Skull Egg Zone with his friends, and served as Mega Man's transport as he battled Copy Robot and the Genesis Unit. He would likewise participate in the first battles with the other Roboticized Masters, and quickly befriended Charmy Bee after his restoration to normal. With that done, Rush joined his friends in heading deeper into the Zone in search of Dr. Light.

Personality
Rush emulates a typical canine in his love for his master, Mega Man, and in his hostility towards anyone who threatens the robot hero. However, he is generally friendly towards most individuals, quickly making friends with Sonic and his friends.

Abilities
Rush is possessed of a number of abilities due to his robotic nature. He has a spring platform built into his back that Mega Man or others can utilize to launch themselves high into the air. His greatest advantage, of course, is his power to transform into a flying craft which Mega Man or others can ride.
