The Drache (ドラッヘ Dorahhe) is a type of small air ship from the Bonne family piloted by Servbots and occasionally Tron Bonne.
Video game appearances
Mega Man Legends
Draches fire two short bursts from their machine guns. When brought down, the Servbot piloting it will escape and flee on foot.
The Bonnes heavily employed the Drache throughout the game. Initially for transportation, then during the invasion of Kattelox Island early in the game, later as an assist assault aircraft against MegaMan and Roll. Two Draches assist the Blumebears in Downtown, and eight Draches appear in MegaMan and Roll's battle against the pirates in Lake Jyun. During their final appearance, six gray Draches were flown assisting the Gesellschaft in its battle against the MegaMan and Roll in the Flutter. Bon Bonne has his own personal Drache custom made with a large magnet attached between the machine gun turrets and the bottom wing used to carry the latter back to the Gesellchaft.
The Misadventures of Tron Bonne
Draches are implied several times in the game, but the only Drache the player can interact in the game is used as a means to return to the Gesellschaft outside the Nakkai Ruins. There were two Draches shown in the game. Each of them has two handle bars underneath in place of the standard machine guns in order to carry the Gustaff and possibly Bon Bonne. At the end of the game, following the arrest of Glyde and Lex Loath, Tron and Teisel used a Drache with the machine guns attached.
Mega Man Legends 2
The Draches have been modified into Drache Kais, but still function as the previous version and can carry Bon Bonne inside. They mainly appear in cutscenes of the game, especially the ones with the Sulphur-Bottom, but also appear as enemies in the Saul Kada Desert. The Bonnes used a Drache Kai while helping MegaMan fight off Geetz, but was eventually tailed and shot down by the latter causing the ship to crash off screen.
In the Japanese demo Rockman DASH 2 Episode 1, Drache Kais appear as enemies in Pokte Village.
Other appearances
In the fighting game Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Draches appear flying in the background of the Gesellschaft stage. They are also one of the objects that appears in Ryu's minigame.
