Ben K (ベン・Ｋ Ben K) is a warrior robot from Mega Man 6. It was originally made for playing gate guards in dramas. It pulls out a spear-like weapon and spins it, deflecting all frontal shots while doing so. After a few seconds, it throws the spinning blade out and repeats the movement with a new blade. Mega Man can shoot Ben K for a few seconds in between the spinning blades to shoot, although with some clever use of Special Weapons (such as Knight Crusher, used at an angle to get behind the spear, or Silver Tomahawk, used in a way that arcs underneath), Mega Man can even strike Ben K when it spins its spear. Ben K appears in Yamato Man's stage, the third Mr. X stage, and the first Dr. Wily stage.
