History Characters / MegaManClassicRobotMastersNES

* LogicalWeakness: How are toads dissected in science classes? With a piercing tool, likw a drill. Plus, Toad Man himself is a pretty sturdy robot, so a weapon that can both pierce through such protection and explode to do serious damage to his insides would be ideal.

** The Hard Knuckle is another nasty surprise when Doc Robot leaps, being it is a projectile that has the power to demolish destructible barriers.

* CompositeCharacter: His combat program is like a spin on ''[[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Quick Man and Heat Man]]''. He move around swiftly like Quick Man, is also vulnerable to a "time-stopping" weapon, but use a ChargedAttack that's similar to Heat Man's Atomic Fire. His art work can also depict him with an aura of flames around him.

** Like past missile-using Robot Masters, barriers are the best way to defeat him.

* LogicalWeakness: A robot built densely enough to drill through the earth is easier for homing missiles to lock onto. On that note, missiles are often designed for anti-armor applications. Since he is carrying Drill Bombs, the anti-armor missiles would be a danger to the ammo onboard.

* LogicalWeakness: Ever gotten a bunch of leaves jammed in a fan motor? This problem can lead to overheating and damage to the gearing — which is possibly how the Leaf Shield damages him.

** If all three tornados connect, Air Shooter is just as damaging as Bubble Lead as wind also puts out fire.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The games seem to flip-flop on whether or not the Robot Masters should be spelled with spaces in the name. With the exception of ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp'', spaces are most consistent in later games. This also applies to their designations, which range to anywhere from "No.XX", "No.XXX", "DWN.No-XX", "DWNB-XX", and "[=DWNo.XX=]" (all considered the same production line). For the purposes of categorization, the format will follow the localized sourcebooks - the more common spaces will be used, along with "DLN.XXX" for robots created solely by Light and "DWN.XXX" for others (this also applies to other character pages).

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' apparently heard it as Cut'''s'''man.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Oh boy... some people know him as C'''r'''ash Man, while others know him as C'''l'''ash Man. His name can even be interpreted as C'''ru'''sh Man. It doesn't help that, in the vein of Guts Man, ''none'' of these names have anything but an esoteric connection to his powers or appearance. Romanized as "Clash Man" in the Japanese version and ''VideoGame/MegaManII'', and "Crash Man" in the English NES release and ''The Power Battle''.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Some supplementary material explains that these robots were a joint creation of Dr. Light and Dr. Wily, with a RW logo even appearing in Magnet Man's stage. However, they are sometimes considered DWN ('''D'''octor '''W'''ily '''N'''umbers), which is an InterfaceSpoiler. ''Manga/MegaManMegamix'' fixes this by labelling the Robot Masters as part of the '''DRWN''' ('''D'''octor '''R'''ight and '''W'''ily '''N'''umbers) series.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Though they're officially part of the DWN series, some sources and adaptations instead list them as the DCN ('''D'''octor '''C'''ossack '''N'''umber) series.

** The Centaur Arrow also makes sense as no matter how formidable a ninja is, a skilled archer would be able to score devastating hits from a safe distance.

* LogicalWeakness: Ring Boomerang is supposed to be razor edged like a chakram, similar to Shadow Blade, meaning that it can slice up the various exposed chutes and wires he has on his body. A vacuum with a cut in its intake hose can't produce sufficient suction do its job.

** Being made of wood, he doesn't handle [[WeakToFire fire]]- and [[AbsurdlySharpBlade cutter]]-based weaponry well (Atomic Fire and Metal Blade). Moreover, [[StuffBlowingUp bombs]] built to destroy barriers, like the Crash Bomber, work well against his own. His weakness to the [[BlowYouAway Air Shooter]] might have something to do with its projectiles being tornadoes, which are extremely damaging to trees like the ones he's made out of.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: An English Robot Master whose stage resembles English castles such as Warwick Castle and Alnwick Castle. However, his weapon, a flail, is of German origin. Perhaps his creator was of German origin?

A Robot Master from England made specifically for dueling, he has defeated over a thousand robots in combat. When attending the First Annual Robot Tournament, he was reprogrammed by Mr. X to take over the world. Despite his reprogramming, Knight Man still holds a code of chivalry, preferring to fight honorably without resorting to dirty tactics. Despite this noble mindset, it leads to him being very inflexible. In addition to his powerful and far-reaching morning star, the Knight Crusher, he holds a shield that repels many attacks.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: An English Robot Master in a medieval castle.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: He's Brazilian, but is based on a flower that only grows in southeast Asia. Was his creator audacious enough to base him off an Asian flower?

* SpreadShot: In the arcade games, which by themselves up his threat level considerably, as it's one of the hardest to dodge attacks in the game.

* BlowYouAway: Wind Man is the third Robot Master based on the sky, and the second one that uses wind-related attacks.

A Robot Master from Japan created for combat, with a proficiency in hand to hand combat and thin, lightweight armor to allow for better mobility. When entering the First Annual Robot Tournament, he was reprogrammed for evil purposes by Mr. X himself. Brimming with the JapaneseSpirit, his weapon of choice is the Yamato Spear, a spear that can fire armor-piercing heads in various patterns, with the drawback of a short supply (thus Yamato Man has to manually retrieve them). He has a hobby of sharpening his spear and collecting Japanese swords, [[LanguageBarrier but detests speaking English]].

* AffablyEvil: Being a ProudWarriorRaceGuy, Yamato Man is pretty honorable in combat to his opponents, even while under Wily's control.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: This explains Knight Man's weakness to his Yamato Spear — it has the ability to go round his Shield (thus making it safer to attack him head-on) and pierce his armor.

* {{Samurai}}: He was designed as one, if his visual appearance didn't clue you in.

** Crash Bomber: His body would have less protection from detonations due to his lighter armor; though hitting him can prove difficult though due to his erratic movement.

** Flash Man's secondary theme is ice, with his stage having [[SlippySlideyIceWorld slippery floors]] and how he [[{{Pun}} "freezes" time]]. Thus, charged nuclear blasts will damage him badly just as he's also vulnerable to the Crash Bomber.

* NoSell: The Air Shooter, Atomic Fire and Leaf Shield won't burst his bubble in even a little.

* NoSell: With the exception of Quick Man, they all take no damage from the Time Stopper (though they will still be frozen by it).

* NoSell: The Metal Blade, Air Shooter, Bubble Lead, and Crash Bomber don't do anything to him.

* NoSell: The Air Shooter, Atomic Fire and Leaf Shield don't do anything to him.

* NoSell: The Air Shooter, Quick Boomerang and Leaf Shield don't do anything at all to him.

* NoSell: The Bubble Lead and Quick Boomerang won't do anything to him.

** Flash Man's secondary theme is ice, with his stage having [[SlippySlideyIceWorld slippery floors]] and how he [[{{Pun}} "freezes" time]]. Thus, charged nuclear blasts will damage him badly just as he's also vulnerable to explosions.

** Flash Man's secondary theme is ice, with his stage having [[SlippySlideyIceWorld slippery floors]] and how he [[{{Pun}} "freezes" time]]. Thus, charged nuclear blasts will damage him badly as he's also vulnerable to explosions.

** Flash Man's secondary theme is ice, with his stage having [[SlippySlideyIceWorld slippery floors]] and how he [[{{Pun}} "freezes" time]]. Thus, charged nuclear blasts will damage him badly as he's also vulnerable to explosions and buster pellets.

** Flash Man's secondary theme is ice, with his stage having [[SlippySlideyIceWorld slippery floors]] and how he [[{{Pun}}"freezes" time]]. Thus, charged nuclear blasts will damage him badly as he's already vulnerable to explosions and buster pellets.

* LogicalWeakness: How do you stop someone who can stop time, albeit for a few seconds? Either unleash a barrage that can cover a wide area that Flash Man can't dodge them all when time resume (Metal Blade) or use a weapon that can unleash powerful damage on him and can be planted out of sight (or better yet ''on him'') so that Flash Man can't evade it in time (Crash Bomber).

* SquishyWizard: His time stopper can completely freeze Mega Man in time and open him up for attack if he's out of position, but Flash Man isn't very durable, taking twice the normal damage from buster shots, Bubble Lead, and uncharged Atomic Fire, and being even weaker to Metal Blade, Crash Bomber, and a half-charged Atomic Fire (fully charged doesn't do any further damage). Curiously, Air Shooter, Quick Boomerang, and Leaf Shield [[NoSell won't hurt him at all]] while Mega Man's Time Stopper ''heals'' him.
