* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:It's never stated if they're still scheduled to be scrapped, but given the fact they've been rebuilt in the credits, it's possible that their scrappage was waived since their defeat at the hands of Mega Man would've made it redundant.]]

* CompositeCharacter: He combine's [[VideoGame/MegaMan1 Fire Man's]] humanoid appearance with [[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Magma Man's]] shoulder torches and shares both robot's weakness to ice/wind, being weak to Tundra Storm, an icy wind attack. He also has a fanatical desire to fight and inhabits a forest, similar to [[VideoGame/MegaManAndBass Burner Man]].

* CallBack: He combine's [[VideoGame/MegaMan1 Fire Man's]] humanoid appearance with [[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Magma Man's]] shoulder torches and shares both robot's weakness to ice/wind, being weak to Tundra Storm, an icy wind attack.

* CompositeCharacter: He combines [[VideoGame/MegaMan3 Magnet Man's]] magnetic powers with [[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Dust Man's]] weaponized junk theme with [[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Skull Man's]] barrier theme using said robot junk in lieu of skulls.

* {{Expy}}: Gameplay-wise, is similar to Pharaoh Man with a sun-like weapon that splits into two shots that look similar to Pharaoh Wave. He also has a jumpy attack style.

* BulletTime: His Time Slow operates as such: by charging his attack, he is able to slow down time to a crawl. Mega Man can only use it twice at full ammo, but Time Man can do it an unlimited amount of times, allowing him to circumvent otherwise convoluted hazard or projectile patterns with more ease, at the cost of a less reliable primary attack.

'''Copy Robot:''' Hey, [[LampshadeHanging if I'm unpleasant]], then [[NoYou you are, too]]!
* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: Inverted. His inability to shoot right in front of him is a disadvantage. The awkward angles of his shots are compensated by him shooting two clock arrows in front of himself and his Time Slow activating BulletTime.

** Being a "my pace" individual, mentioning he should follow a schedule and telling him what to do is a bad idea... as [[ClockKing Time]] [[{{Jerkass}} Man]] finds out the hard way.

'''Oil Man:''' I know nothing about that! You're not the boss of me, ''I do what I want, when I want''!

* DifficultButAwesome: Has the most difficult playstyle of the eleven playable characters, since there can only be [[OneBulletAtATime one oil slick at a given time]] until it evaporates or he turns it into a surfboard to slide with. The Oil Slider itself also won't leave him invulnerable other than in his feet (and the same goes for Mega Man's version), which can lead to anti-climactic HitboxDissonance. However, the Oil Slider doesn't consume much energy, the surfboard hits quite hard and, when mastered, [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower Oil Man is known to be pretty good for speedrunning]].

* AffablyEvil: He is a deadly war robot who , but as described in his ''Mega Man & Bass'' CD data, he is also stout-hearted.

* LogicalWeakness: Bullfighters save themselves against rampaging bulls by essentially faking them out at the last second. The Break Dash allows for Mega Man to essentially do just that, with the added bonus of getting speedy, precise, hits on the vulnerable spots of Uranus without penalty.

* LogicalWeakness: Pluto is a speedy fighter, but the Grab Buster's health sapping abilities would likely do a good job in tiring him out.

* WallJump: He utilizes these in order to shoot projectiles at Mega Man from a safe altitude. In this manner, this attack resembles Nitro Man's wall-driving attack.

* LogicalWeakness: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]].
** Downplayed with the [[FireBall Scorch Wheel]], which does [[WeakToFire deal more damage than other weapons]] but ''won't'' interrupt his attack pattern. Instead...
** ...the [[ExtraOreDinary Junk Shield]] plays it straight! Notably, this attack deals more damage than the Scorch Wheel and ''will'' interrupt his attack pattern. After all, ice can be shattered and cracked apart by enough weight or a hard enough impact, and the Junk Shield's projectiles utilize both.

* LogicalWeakness: Bubbles need ambient temperature in order to keep their form, so [[WeakToFire sudden changes]] [[KillItWithIce in temperature]] will burst them. The chemicals inside him may also not react too well to temperature changes, either.

* WeakToFire: His primary weakness, and the best weapon to use against him, is the Scorch Wheel.

* ImmuneToFlinching: He is the ''only'' Robot Master in the arcade games that does not flinch at all. He ''doesn't even react when he dies''.

* ShockAndAwe: Electric-based Robot Master. Notably, Cloud Man can't produce electricity by himself: he has to draw it from clouds in order to use his Thunder Bolt.

* ZeroEffortBoss: [[DownplayedTrope Both methods require practice]], but it's possible to turn Sprig Man into this.
** By timing the Slash Claw on him every time he's about to leap high and use his RocketPunch, he can be defeated without even having a chance to attack.
** Before his health bar displays, he is immune to collision detection. If the Noise Crush is fired ''just'' as the player enters his lair, due to a glitch, the projectile will persist. As soon as he gains ''one point of HP'', the sound wave will hit him, [[OneHitKill instantly KOing him.]]

* LogicalWeakness: Being partly based on a dinosaur, a cold-blooded animal, he is [[KillItWithIce weak to the cold]], which the Freeze Cracker quickly proves. However, his mane also appears to be actual hair, making him unusually flammable and simultaneously [[WeakToFire weak to Scorch Wheel]] as well.
** Even discounting the dinosaur theming, his agility and reflexes don't matter if he's hit with a slowing blast of cold.

->'''Weakness''': ''Wild Coil'' (7), ''Slash Claw'' (PB), ''Rolling Cutter'' (PF)

* LogicalWeakness: His tendency to stay at the top of the screen makes him vulnerable to anti-air attacks like the Wild Coil.

* TakenForGranite: For whatever reason, Shade Man has an EyeBeam-like attack that turns Mega Man into stone if it hits him.

* WoundGazelleGambit: Does this to Bass during ''Mega Man 7'' as part of a plot to steal the enhancements meant for Mega Man and Rush at Light Labs.

* LogicalWeakness: Mufflers reduce the sound cars can make. But the wrong kind of muffler can reduce engine efficiency by obstructing the exhaust flow, damaging a car. Since he already likes to speed on highways at high volume, this makes [[MakeSomeNoise noise-based weapons]] effective on him.
** For all their weight and speed, any car can get totalled if struck by a particularly large and sturdy object, especially random pieces of junk.
* OneHitKill: Same reason as poor Spring Man, but less memorable. If you fire the Noise Crush as you enter his arena, the wave will strike him as his HP gauge fills up. This will cause him to burst immediately.
* PlayingWithFire: His Special Weapon, the Scorch Wheel: a ring of {{fireballs}} that rotate and burn everything in their way. Mega Man can hold the weapon like a shield before throwing it.

* AIBreaker: The Homing Sniper turns him from a difficult boss into the wimp he thinks he is. Charge it up, and Astro Man will never be able to use his Astro Crush, making him a ZeroEffortBoss.
-->''"How'd that happen!? I can't take this anymore!"''

* LogicalWeakness: Water Balloons hurt him badly as a fire elemental, causing him to also groan in pain and be stunned momentarily. Additionally, a glowing-hot sword can be ruined by improper water treatment during smithing.

* WeaksauceWeakness: It's a logical one, but a formal sword duelist being weak to Water Balloons might make one snicker.

* IWantMyMommy: He may occasionally say "Mommy!" ("Mamaaaaa!" in Japanese voice) when hit with the Tornado Hold.
* LogicalWeakness: Dangerous winds can cause stunt performers to lose balance, which is why circus tents are used for shows. The Tornado Hold thus knocks him off his trapeze. It also tangles up his long arms, rendering him a useless [[HumanKnot robotic pretzel]] until he untangles himself.

* LogicalWeakness: Since he likes to hide in shrubbery, [[WeakToFire a fire attack will draw him out]]. Furthermore, another way to cut shrubbery is using bladed weapons. Unfortunately for him, the [[FlamingSword Flame Sword]] combines both aspects into a painful prospect.

* SoMuchForStealth: Hiding in bushes does not help Search Man in any capacity. Especially if Mega Man can [[KillItWithFire burn them down]].

* WeakToFire: The [[FlamingSword Flame Sword]] is his weakness, and eliminates the danger of guessing which shrub he hides on, [[KillItWithFire by burning it]].

** The [[FlamingSword Flame Sword]] is [[WeakToFire obvious]] too during the rematch, although that one can't stun him.

* WeakToFire:
** {{Downplayed|Trope}} in ''8''. His secondary weakness is the [[FlamingSword Flame Sword]], though it won't stun him unlike the Flash Bomb.
** {{Subverted|Trope}} in ''10'', as his Weapons Archive unit takes pitiful damage from the Solar Blaze.

** This is subverted with the [[FlamingSword Flame Sword]], however, being one of the few Explosion-based Robot Masters to [[AvertedTrope not be]] WeakToFire.

** However, having a hollow, transparent water tank in his core, he is weak to massive impact, like that from meteors. The Astro Crush even forces him to repair himself due to the meteors damaging the glass parts in his body.

->''"[[Film/AttackOfTheClones I hate sand.]]"''

* GeniusBruiser: Not only one of [[TheBrute the strongest Robot Masters]], but he is also a deep thinker.

* DressedToPlunder: He sports quite stylish design for a pirate captain.

* FireBreathingWeapon: One of his attacks is styled as if it was breathing fire.

* MinionManipulatedIntoVillainy: [[ManipulativeBastard King]] tricked him into believing if he doesn't burn down forests, he's going to self-destruct.

* {{Pyromaniac}}: Very crazy and associated with fire. This makes him a foil to [[VideoGame/MegaMan11 Torch Man]].

* LogicalWeakness: He's a flashy entertainer robot turned combatant, which also means he's likely to not be as fortified to piercing attacks than his fellow comrades, especially considering his "playing card" motif. Thus, the Tengu Blade suits him as a weakness.

* LogicalWeakness: Oil and [[WeakToFire fire]] are a bad combination. He even [[LampshadeHanging points this out]] both times during his banter with Fire Man.

* WeakToFire: Naturally, given his "mineral fuel" motif.

->''[[ThePerfectionist "Anything less than perfection is unacceptable."]]''

* ArmorPiercingAttack: His Concrete Shot neutralizes a number of defenses.

* LightningBruiser: Apart from being TheBigGuy of ''9''[='=]s Robot Masters, he is also surprisingly ''very'' mobile, moving by jumping high and far into the air and employing a DashAttack to tackle Mega Man.

* CreatorProvincialism: A subtle example, but still noticeable. He's specifically based on a type-A plug, the type of plug used in Japan (where the Mega Man series is made). Though, to be fair, type-A plugs are fairly common across the world (being used in places like China, the Philippines, and basically all of North America and the Caribbean), and due to EaglelandOsmosis, most people are at least vaguely familiar with the type-A plug.

* {{Otaku}}: He's stated to enjoy anime.

* LogicalWeakness: Jewel Satelite may be hard and difficult to damage, but an intense gravity well like the Black Hole Bomb will not only bypass its defenses, but outright negate them. After all, an OrbitingParticleShield isn't effective if said particles get vacuumed into oblivion.

* LogicalWeakness: Bugs in real life [[WeakToFire don't take too well to fire]]. A single Magma Bazooka can even destroy all three of his flunkies if timed right.

* SpreadShot: His Magma Bazooka shoots a blast of fireballs in three directions.

* LogicalWeakness:
** [[NeverBringAKnifeToAGunfight Modern warfare vs. medieval warfare]]. Just like how Knights lost their advantage once gun powder weapons became wide spread in armies.
** In another sense, even the most devastating of melee weapons can't do much against an explosion, which carries a massive amount of force. A powerful detonation can utterly wreck smaller weapons and heavily damage sturdier ones. Either way, it's gonna ''hurt''.

* LogicalWeakness: A robot that pumps water through his body is not going to handle electricity well. Getting hit by the Thunder Wool's lightning bolts also completely neutralizes his Water Shield (even if it doesn't score a direct hit on Pump Man, each droplet will dissipate on contact with the bolt).

* NeatFreak: Described as such.

* WalkingArmory: A better example of a humanoid and literal tank than Napalm Man. He could also give Mars a run for his money.

* LogicalWeakness: Someone based on ice would [[WeakToFire obviously melt under]] [[ThePowerOfTheSun intense sunlight]]. Plus, he fights global warming.

* LogicalWeakness: Rebound Striker is made of rubber, a material that doesn't conduct electricity.

* BeTheBall: Especially when you're designed after one. One of his attacks is to roll at a high speed, either bouncing high into the air or attempting to crash into the player character.
* BouncingBattler: This is one of his few moves not taken from baseball.

* LogicalWeakness: Blades and sporting balls don't mix really well. The Triple Blade's projectiles even pierce his Rebound Striker unimpeded.

* StealthPun: His weakness to the Triple Blade is a reference to "three strikes and you're out", one of the rules in baseball.

* WallRun: Befitting a stunt actor, one of his specialities is to drive up the walls of his boss room, out of Mega Man's reach. His Wheel Cutters do this too and can give Mega Man the ability to rapidly scale walls by using it next to them.

* ChargedAttack: Solar Blaze can be ''accidentally'' [[FeedItWithFire supercharged]] if Solar Man absorbs enough bullets that aren't the Water Shield. Its charge level greatly depends on the difficulty: it begins with a tiny speck of fire on Easy Mode, and ends with a much larger solar ball on Hard Mode.
* CounterAttack: The number of Solar Blazes Solar Man throws is tied to the frequency of the player's shots. If the player just spams shots, not only will the Solar Blazes eventually be fired in a very hard to dodge combination, but Solar Man will also start tipping his head forward to catch the shots.

* PlayingWithFire: ''10''[='=]s answer to a Fire-type Robot Master. Unlike most of his predecessors who use flames, nuclear power, fuel or magma. Solar Man instead uses the [[ThePowerOfTheSun Sun itself]] as his fire attack.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: Though not in the [[LightEmUp "sun light"]] fashion. Solar Man instead uses the less flattering and dangerous aspects of the Sun, like its [[PlayingWithFire blistering hot temperature]] to shoot miniature fireballs. He was a sunlight research lab robot, after all and he uses solar energy as a means of powering up his fire attacks.

* SpamAttack: One of his attacks in Hard Mode involves him firing three supercharged Solar Blazes to the ceiling that fall and home in on you.

->''[["ThePerfectionist Anything less than perfection is unacceptable."]]''

* RobotClown: The only clown-themed Robot Master in the original series.

** Downplayed with the [[FireBall Scorch Wheel]], which does [[WeakToFire deal more damage than other weapons]] but ''won't'' interrupt his attack pattern''. Instead...
** ...the [[ExtraOreDinary Junk Shield]] plays it straight! Notably, this attack deals more damage than the Scorch Wheel and ''will'' interrupt his attack pattern. After all, ice can be punctured and broken by metal.

** His teleportation abilities would be useless against a homing attack. Also, he freaks out when the Homing Sniper locks on to his ship, preventing him from trying to dodge.

* LogicalWeakness: Dangerous winds can cause stunt performers to lose balance, which is why circus tents are used for shows. The Tornado Hold thus knocks him off his trapeze. It also tangles up his long arms.

* LogicalWeakness: [[EnergyWeapon Laser weapons]] can pierce metal, especially if said laser weapon was designed to slice open ships for rescue operations. The Laser Trident also destroys each and all of the Concrete Shot blocks in the arena, restoring Mega Man's fighting room.

* LogicalWeakness: Jewel Satelite may be hard and difficult to damage, but an intense gravity well like the Black Hole Bomb will not only bypass its defenses, but outright negate them.

* LogicalWeakness: [[NeverBringAKnifeToAGunfight Modern warfare vs. medieval warfare]]. Just like how Knights lost their advantage once gun powder weapons became wide spread in armies.

* LogicalWeakness: The Wheel Cutter's sharp edges can cut right through his heavy armor. Since his main weapon is an explosive and the Wheel Cutter negates his Commando Bombs, it may also be a reference to the WireDilemma.

* LogicalWeakness: Heavy explosions can destroy brick walls. Furthermore, Chain Blast's slow trajectory makes it difficult to land hits against speedy enemies... but Block Man's lumbering second phase is an easy target for the powerful bombs.

-->''"Explosion is '''[[SuddenlyShouting ART]]'''!!"''

* FatBastard: His CD data from ''Mega Man & Bass'' describes him as a couch potato, and he happens to be a boss.
* FloatingInABubble: What his weakness, the Danger Wrap, does to him. The bubble then bursts and damages him.

* CallBack: He is themed around dead and undeath, much like Pharaoh Man is designed to resemble a Pharaoh for exploring tombs. In the Power Fighters, he is even able to summon Shade Man's unique zombie robots to assist him, reinforcing a connection between the two.

* MythicalMotifs: A robot master based upon a mix of a vampire and gargoyle.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Technically, a Robot Vampire with a horde of Zombie {{Mook}}s.

* BlowYouAway: A Wind-based Robot Master. His Tornado Hold lifts and stuns Mega Man for him to deliver the pain, and he can also use a RazorWind ball to attack and potentially blow Mega Man off the platform.

* {{Tengu}}: ''Of course.'' He has control over [[BlowYouAway wind]], and one of his attacks is even called "Yama arashi" (US, translates to "Mountain storm") or "Kamikaze" (Japan, translated to "Divine wind", spelt "kahm ee kah ZEH"), which references perfectly the wind motif tengu sometimes have.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite being a coward, he can summon some fierce meteors.

* BeTheBall: Through his Thunder Carnival. A harmless version is the end result of knocking him off the trapeze with his weakness.

* TheCameo: Appears as the ''8'' representative of the weapons archive boss in ''10''.

->''"I hate sand."''

* MysticalMotifs: A robot master based upon a mix of a vampire and gargoyle.

* AwesomeButImpractical: All those weapons are rather cool... but they also [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome stop Mars from using airplanes]].
