* Evil Knockoff: Rockman Shadow is suspiciously similar to Rock.

* Expy: Rockman Shadow is similar in appearance to Quint and even uses a weapon similar to the Sakugarne, but they're not the same character. In the end, it turns out the similarities aren't coincidental -- [[spoiler: Rockman Shadow was a failed attempt by Wily to create his own version of Quint and was scrapped as a result]].

* OnlyFriend: Compass Man claims to be R-Shadow's friend prior to fighting Mega Man and Bass. (Mega

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dimensions01.gif]]
A team of [[BreakingOldTrends seven]] Robot Masters from the obscure Platform/WonderSwan game ''[[VideoGame/RockmanAndForteMiraiKaraNoChosensha Rockman & Forte: Challenger from the Future]]'' who have willingly come to the past to destroy peace between mankind and robotkind. They are lead by Mega Man (Rockman) Shadow, a robot with the look and powers of Mega Man.

* DetachmentCombat: Compas Man. Though by the way his body works, his torso can only float above his leg unit.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: While many Robot Master sets had nonhumanoid robots, over half of the Dimensions are basically anthromorphic objects: A bullet, stove, air conditioner and two clocks, in particular. The two that aren't -- Komuso Man and Compas Man -- are more traditional looking.

-> "Bumo...Bumomomo! Bumomo Bumomomomo Bumo!"
A rare non-Robot Master boss which appears multiple times throughout the series, and one of Wily's personal favorites. The Yellow Devil has received two direct successors in the [[VideoGame/MegaMan3 Yellow Devil MK-II]] and the [[VideoGame/MegaMan11 Yellow Devil MK-III]], as well as numerous offshoots such as the [[VideoGame/MegaMan8 Green Devil]] and [[VideoGame/MegaMan10 Block Devil]]. It takes the form of a sort of golem with a single eyeball which can fire EyeBeams and separate itself to attack.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: At the time, Nintendo was much less forgiving with religious references than today, which led Yellow Devil to be originally renamed "Rock Monster" in English. For ''[[VideoGame/MegaManTheWilyWars The Wily Wars]]'', it is named Yellow Demon.
* CyberCyclops: It has a single eye that it uses to attack. It's also the only part of its body susceptible to damage.
* DetachmentCombat: How it moves from one area to another in a fight, and its many bits make it tough to avoid.
* DoppelgangerAttack: In the arcade games, it can split itself into a number of "Mini-Devils". This is inherited by the Yellow Devil MK-III in ''VideoGame/MegaMan11''.
* EyeBeams: Though it usually fires small shots, some appearances of the original model (and a few of its successors) have it fire larger energy shots or even full-on laser beams.
* GoForTheEye: Its eye is its only weak spot, and is only vulnerable when it tries firing its EyeBeams at you.
* HealingFactor: His stun animation in the arcade games invokes this -- his torso/head area is blasted apart, leaving only his floating eye, resulting in the body quickly reconstituting before continuing to fight.
* LegacyBossBattle: The Yellow Devil and its successors are prevalent throughout the entire franchise. [[labelnote:The full list of Devils...]][[VideoGame/MegaMan1 Yellow Devil]], [[VideoGame/MegaMan3 Yellow Devil MK-II]], [[VideoGame/MegaManV Dark Moon]], [[VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman New Yellow/Ra Devil]], [[VideoGame/MegaMan8 Green Devil]], [[VideoGame/MegaManX5 Shadow Devil]], [[VideoGame/MegaManZero1 Rainbow]] [[VideoGame/MegaManZero2 Devil]], [[VideoGame/MegaManZX Lava Demon/Devil]], [[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Petit Devil, Twin Devil]], [[VideoGame/MegaMan10 Block Devil]], and [[VideoGame/MegaMan11 Yellow Devil MK-III]].[[/labelnote]]
* MookChivalry: In any instance where the Yellow Devil splits itself into Mini-Devils, only one will actively pursue the player, as the others hang back. This is also true with the Twin Devil in ''9'', as there is only one attack core between two bodies. Averted with the MK-III in ''VideoGame/MegaMan11'': all of the Mini-Devils attack at once.
* NothingIsScarier: How it introduces itself. You enter the boss arena as usual. The door shuts behind you, the boss music starts playing, and... nothing. Then the boss health bar appears and starts filling up. Still nothing but you in an empty room. Suddenly, strange yellow blocks start coming in from the left, moving very fast across the room and eventually materializing into a giant faceless... creature that just stands there, completely frozen. After a moment, a single red eye opens. Compared to so many other robots, which usually at least have visible joints, or some other indicator of their robotic nature, the Yellow Devil seems creepily organic. Its huge, almost unmoving stature, its voiceless nature, and creepy eyeball add to this.
* PokemonSpeak: In ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp'', it can only say "Bumo" and variants of it. As seen during his encounter with the beast, Ice Man can apparently understand the monster's speech. (However, he doesn't reveal what the Yellow Devil says to the audience.)
* RedEyesTakeWarning: It has a red eye set against a black sclera. Though it skips over the MK-II, it's back with the MK-III (complete with a gear inside the eye).
* TragicMonster: In ''Manga/MegaManMegamix'', the Yellow Devil MK-II was originally a toy robot whose brain is removed and placed within the strange mass that makes its body. It escapes to go back to its "mother". [[spoiler:When Light and Roll find this out, they ask Mega Man and Shadow Man to leave him alone so it can see its mother, but Shadow Man didn't hear them and destroys it.]]
* TurnsRed: When the Yellow Devil MK-III uses the Speed Gear in ''11'', it will split into nine identical versions of itself (except for one having the main eye, the rest are eyeless).
* TheVoiceless: Despite speaking in PokemonSpeak in ''Powered Up'' and saying either "W" or "Mom" in ''Megamix'', the Yellow Devil does not speak in ''11'' and shows VisibleSilence in ''VideoGame/MegaManXDive''.

[[folder:Copy Robot]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mm_copy_robot_transparent.png]]
A recurring boss character appearing in the [[VideoGame/MegaMan1 first]] and [[VideoGame/MegaMan3 third]] games, as well as [[VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp the remakes]]. Copy Robot takes on the appearance of different robots, giving him access to their abilities and memories.

* ArrogantKungFuGuy: No matter who he copies, the Copy Robot always assumes he can use his new abilities better than the original.
* AscendedExtra: What was just a recurring Wily Stage boss was given a speaking role and personality in ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp''.
* DoppelgangerSpin: In ''3'', he fights alongside two holograms, which he randomly switches places with. Attacks pass through his doubles harmlessly, meaning you have to seek out the real one to defeat him.
* EvilKnockoff: Played with, in that he's an evil knockoff of potentially any robot. Played straighter in the Archie comics, where he's specifically a copy of Mega Man.
* ManchurianAgent: In the Megamix manga, Copy Robot is a perfect replica of Mega Man that believes itself to be the original. When he finds out the truth, he goes berserk and tries to kill Mega Man.
* MercyInvincibility: A notable aversion among boss enemies: In ''3'', he has no invincibility frames after being attacked. Played straight in ''The Wily Wars'', however.
* MirrorMatch: Obviously. He even uses the same Special Weapon you have equipped, though in ''3'' he sticks to the Mega Buster (except in the [[ComicBook/MegaManArchieComics comics]]).
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Not visible in game, where he shares a sprite with Mega Man, but his concept art and appearance in the Archie comics give him dark red eyes.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Dons a purple one in the Archie comics along with a darker color scheme to visually contrast Mega Man.
* TheGadfly: ''Loves'' taunting the other Robot Masters he copies, especially Roll.
* VoluntaryShapeshifter: His whole shtick.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Time it right and you can take him out with a single use of the Top Spin in ''3''.
* WholesomeCrossDresser: His Roll costume retains the dress she had in her days before ''8'', even if Roll assumes an [[YouDontLookLikeYou alternate appearance]].

[[folder:Doc Robot]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doc_robot_transparent.png]]
An advanced Dr. Wily creation with the ability to download different power sets. It faces Mega Man several times in ''3'', each time using the attacks of a different Robot Master from ''2''.

* AdaptationalBadass: Zigzagged with its Archie Comics iteration; unlike the Doc Robots in the game that each use one ''Mega Man 2'' Robot Master's powers, there is a single Doc Robot that has all of their integrated circuits and abilities... but with eight minds sharing one body, it is far from stable.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's not made clear as to whether there are multiple Doc Robots or a single one that Mega Man repeatedly fights, though each one exploding upon defeat suggests it's the former.
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Some of Doc Robot's forms don't share exactly the same AI as the Robot Master it's copying, such as its Quick Man form. It's also a lot larger than the Robot Masters, which changes the hitboxes of some moves.
* FaceFramedInShadow: Its portraits on the level select screen are shadowed out, unlike the Robot Master portraits.
* FlatCharacter: It has never been given a personality by any guidebooks or supplementary material, and it's very likely it has no mind of its own beyond whatever program data it's currently using.
* FrankensteinsMonster: To enable it to use the moves of any Robot Master, Doc Robot has a mishmash of an ArmCannon, a normal arm with a Quick Boomerang launcher attached, and two back attachments resembling the weapons of Crash Man and Bubble Man. It even has the double bolts, though they're on its body instead of its neck or head.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: The game provides no context for Doc Robot's existence and it's never brought up again after the final Break Man fight. It was likely intended to be another distraction for Mega Man while Dr. Wily enacted his ploy to hijack Gamma, just like the Robot Masters of ''3''.
* LegacyBossBattle: Doc Robot's eight fights correspond to all eight Robot Master fights from ''2''.
* LightningBruiser: Quick Man-Doc Robot is as fast as the original Quick Man while being larger, stronger (taking out more than a quarter of Mega Man's health with contact damage), and bulkier (taking only one point of damage from Mega Buster shots instead of two, and only having two minor weaknesses).
* LostInTranslation: Doc Robot's name is a Japanese pun that doesn't work as well in English ("dokuro" is the Japanese word for "skull", thus the portmanteau "Dokurobotto").
* MyNameIsQuestionMarks: When a Doc Robot stage is selected, a question mark is displayed instead of the usual boss sprite, causing Doc Robot to go unnamed within the game itself.
* NonIndicativeName: While it was created by a doctor, Doc Robot itself isn't a doctor, and the name was the result of [[LostInTranslation a Japanese pun that doesn't quite work in English]] ("Dokurobotto" is a portmanteau of "dokuro", Japanese for skull, and "robot"). The Archie Comic gets around it by turning "Doc" [[FunWithAcronyms into an acronym for "Diverse Operations Circuit"]], referring to its ability to use other robots' IC chips.
* PowerCopying: It downloads data from Wily's other creations and imitates their attacks and movement patterns.
* RecurringBoss: Doc Robot is fought eight times, twice in each stage revisit, each time using the powers of a different ''2'' Robot Master.
* SkullForAHead: One game before Skull Man's debut, Doc Robot has a bony face of its own, fitting right in with Wily's usual motif.
* TopHeavyGuy: It has a large upper body and a smaller torso and legs.
* UnderwaterBossBattle: Doc-Bubble Man is fought underwater with a spike ceiling overhead, just like the original Bubble Man was.
