History Characters / MegaManClassicOtherCharacters

* ArrogantKungFuGuy: And he has an ''assault rifle'' for an ArmCannon.
* {{Badass}}: His only equals in the Classic series are Mega Man, Proto Man, and Duo. He will tear ''everything else'' to shreds.

-> A extraterrestrial police robot from outer space that searches for "Evil Energy" to destroy it.

* {{Badass}}: He's just as powerful and capable as Mega Man himself.

-> Voiced by: Creator/NobuyukiHiyama (JP, 8), Jack Evans (EN, [[VideoGame/MegaMan8 MM8]])

* ReliableTraitor: He and Wily frequently alternate between enemies and allies.

* TheProblemWithPenIsland: His name has contains the substring ass in it.

* MeaningfulName: His name in Japan, "Forte," means "strong" in several Romance languages. Sure enough, he's obsessed with proving himself to be stronger than anyone else (particularly Mega Man).

* CaptainErsatz: Looks ''exactly'' like Gordon Freeman. Although, given that ''4'' was released six years before ''VideoGame/HalfLife1'', it might be more appropriate to say that Gordon Freeman looks like Dr. Cossack.

* PapaWolf

** TheFightingNarcissist

* SpamAttack: fires a stream of bullets in rapid fire to attack his enemies.

!!SWN.001 Bass (Forte)

!!Treble (Gospel)

!!Reggae

!!Gamma

!!Dr. Mikhail Cossack

!!Duo

* {{Jerkass}}
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Much more an emphasis on the "Jerk" part, but there are some important moments worth mentioning. Duo mentions to Bass (in ''The Power Fighters'') that there is good in him, even though Bass denies it. Case in point, he was able to use Evil Energy without dying and he is very caring when it comes to his pet Treble. Doesn't even have a single known case of Human-related murder in his name (although he does attack his own creator Dr. Wily in anger periodically), likely because of his respect towards the humans for creating the robot race he is a part of (as Bass mentions to King after defeating him for the first time in ''Mega Man & Bass''). Furthermore, he never tries to kill any robot that isn't specifically a combatant, such as Roll or Auto, nor has he ever shown a desire to, and while he's not above stealing powerups made for Mega Man, he'll still opt to face him in single combat, rather than use underhanded methods.

* Narcissist: Thinks ''VERY'' highly of himself.

Duo mentions to Bass (in ''The Power Fighters'') that there is good in him, even though Bass denies it.

%%* NobuyukiHiyama: Explains ''a lot''.

%%* TheRival

* {{Badass}}: Although the amount of badassitude is undermined by the nigh-insufferable level of his arrogance.
** That being said, it's been established that his only equals in the Classic series are Mega Man, Proto Man, and Duo. He will tear ''everything else'' to shreds.

* [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY It Is Pronounced BASE]]: The pronounciation of his name. Lest we forget, [[MemeticMutation he is not a fish.]]
** ''8'' (incorrectly) pronounces it as Bass, as in the fish.

* [[spoiler: [[{{AndThenJohnWasAZombie}} And Then Gamma Was A Sigma Body]]]]

* LaserGuidedTykebomb: like the "Megaman Killers", Wily created him to destroy Mega Man.

* FacialMarkings: which, along with the design of his helmet, makes him look like a cobra.
* FangsAreEvil: whenever he gives a SlasherSmile, he gives off one of these.

* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: Averted in ''& Forte'' (both the original and the Wonderswan games) and ''10'' DLC.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: He started out similar to who he was created to oppose in his first game in the Vs Mode, before finally getting his semi-iconic dash and diagonal attacks in ''Rockman & Forte''.

* DoNotRunWithAGun: In the ''Rockman & Forte'' games and the ''10'' DLC, Bass must stand still while firing his Bass Buster.

* DoubleJump: His trademark in ''& Forte''. Preceded his "little brother".

* GoneHorriblyRight: Bass's '''only''' priority is defeating Mega Man and proving himself as the "strongest robot". Since this doesn't specifically require helping Dr. Wily, or even obeying him, this has a tendency to backfire on the good doctor. Bass's whole heroic turn in ''& Forte'' was just him proving that he was stronger than King.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Much more an emphasis on the "Jerk" part, but there are some important moments worth mentioning. Duo mentions to Bass (in ''The Power Fighters'') that there is good in him, even though Bass denies it. Case in point, he was able to use Evil Energy without dying and he is very caring when it comes to his pet Treble.

* AntiHero: In ''Rockman & Bass'', both arcade games, and as DLC in ''10''. While certainly not a "good guy" by any means, he nevertheless is not nearly as heartless as his ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' counterpart Vile.

!!Bass (Forte)

* AntiHero: In ''Rockman & Bass'', both arcade games, and as DLC in ''10''. While certainly not a "good guy" by any means, he nevertheless is not nearly as heartless as his VideoGame/MegaManX counterpart Vile.

* DoNotRunWithAGun: Bass must stand still while firing his Bass Buster.
** This did not apply to his original appearance or the ''Power'' games, as there, his Buster was more akin to Mega Man's.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Bass's '''only''' priority is defeating Mega Man and proving himself as the "strongest robot". Since this doesn't specifically require helping Dr. Wily, or even obeying him, this has a tendency to backfire on the good Doctor.

* LaserGuidedTykebomb: like the Mega Man Killers, Wily created him to destroy Mega Man.

* TheMole: introduced as an ally, but is actually trying to get on the good graces of the good guys to steal the Super Adapter blueprints for Dr. Wily.

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Obsessed with proving his superiority over Mega Man, and won't let anyone else fight him.
