Wily usually doesn't battle using only the spaceship, except for Mega Man IV where it is like a Wily Capsule and the ending of Mega Man V, but it was attached to Wily Machine 1, Wily Machine 2, Wily Machine I, Wily Robo Iron Golem, and Brain Crusher. The Wily UFO is equipped with a mechanical claw in Mega Man 7, Mega Man 8, Mega Man 9, and Mega Man Powered Up, a tractor beam in Mega Man 11 and Mega Man: The Wily Wars, a laser beam in Mega Man V, and a Speed Gear in Mega Man 11. Wily UFO activating the Speed Gear in Mega Man 11 In Mega Man 8, Wily uses a slightly different transport with a skull motif. The top part can become transparent in the Game Boy games, and it has a different color in Brain Crusher's artwork. In Mega Man 7 it has a hatch on the top instead of rising the whole top half. In Mega Man Powered Up, the spaceship is red and blue.
From Mega Man 2 onward, the appearance changed and the red color was replaced by blue, having minor design changes in some games. The spaceship first appeared in the first Mega Man game, where the top part is red and the bottom is yellow.
