NANCY-MI847J is a gigantic robot which made its first appearance in Tekken 6. It is the sub-boss before Jin Kazama and Azazel in Single-Player Arcade Mode.
Story
Tekken 6
NANCY is a robotic weapon developed by Mishima Zaibatsu engineers. Unlike the Jack line of robots, it is larger, less mobile, and has no human-like physical attributes. NANCY robots are heavily armored and equipped with guns and lasers for offense. Though NANCY robots are capable of movement, they are often very slow due to their size.
NANCY robots are encountered during Scenario Campaign, where one can be used by the player at G Corporation, Millennium Tower. Alisa will mention taking NANCY's boot up key at the Tekken Force 4th Special Forces Operation Group Compound in her journal. A NANCY robot also stands in the way of Lars and Alisa as they are approaching Jin before Raven appears to defeat it and allow them to continue.
Tekken 7
Several NANCY-MI847J robots make a cameo appearance in the stage "Mishima Building", but NANCY robots make no prominent appearance within the story or any of the playable modes.
Gameplay
It has a health bar 10 times larger than a normal fighter's health bar, the ability to shoot lasers and destroy the glass floor, a minigun attack, and a size which obscures a large amount of the screen. If the player falls through the floor after NANCY lasers a hole through the glass, they automatically lose. NANCY does not block attacks, and it is left vulnerable for a short time when the player does a certain amount of damage as well as after its jumping attack. When it is low on health, its movement and attacks become quicker. If it is beaten, a scene of the NANCY covered in smoke and small explosions will play before it shuts down. Players will proceed to the next stage regardless of whether or not they win.
