- "The OG Bat enemy, will stay covered for a randomized amount of time and will slowly follow the player, once he's able to deal damage, he will fly up to the ceiling and cove [sic] himself again"
- ―Note in Spine's code, Megamix Engine
Spine is an enemy from the original Mega Man. It is a short security robot built by Dr. Wily.
Spine was first made available in the devkit for the original Make a Good Mega Man Level contest, where it appeared in the entries City War, Sunset Siege, Wily Combo, Napalm Forest and Caves, Hard to See Land, and Spiky Meltdown, as well as the Final Stage.
Spine returned in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, where it appeared in ten entries, as well as in the Wily stages Classic Castle and Reality Core, the Tier X stages So Good and Null and Void, and the Pit of Pits sub-levels "Concrete Mix", "Ice Climber", "MEG4KMAN", "Spiky Meltdown?", "Warp Zone", and "What a rush!".

Behavior
Spines will initially move forward slowly, turning around when they reach a ledge or wall. If Mega Man is on its X-axis, it will move at a different speed. If a Spine is hit with a weapon that deals no damage to it, it will absorb the hit instead of deflecting it, and it will react by freezing temporarily.
By default, Spines are peach-colored (also considered orange), but by setting "col = 1" in a Spine's creation code, it will turn blue. Creation code can also be used to determine the Spine's normal speed (default is 0.5) and speed when on the same X-axis as Mega Man (default is 2).
