History Characters / MegamanClassicRobotMasters

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: This goes for all Robot Masters in general, but the games seem to flip-flop on whether or not the Robot Masters should be spelled with spaces in the name. Later games seem to adopt the spaces, with the exception of ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp''.

AdaptationExpansion: In their debut in the remixed game mode of ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp'', they were only referred to as "Timeman" and "Oilman" (which once again doubles as SpellMyNameWithAnS); in the [[AlternateContinuity Archie series]], their names were formatted with the more usual spaces of later material, and they were given codenames to match the other Robot Masters.

!!No.003 Cutman

-> Like Gutsman, Cutman isn't a main character, but is one of the robot masters who appears the most often. While Gutsman has been used as a boss more often, Cutman has apparently been in Wily's service the longest of the original six masters.

* KryptoniteIsEverywhere: His greatest weakness is Gutsman's boulders (cause [[LogicalWeakness rock beats scissors, don'cha know.]]) His stage is positively filled with such boulders, despite it supposedly being a warehouse.

** Ever before then, cutting-related puns were present in the [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan Ruby-Spears cartoon]], with gems such as "Gutsman might be strong, but I'm on the cutting edge!"
** ArchieComics kept the cutting puns coming; Cutman about a page full of them in his first appearance, and they never stop coming after that.

* StealthPun: Might be a coincidence; in ''1,'' Cutman takes more damage from the uncharged Mega Buster than any other Robot Master in the franchise (ignoring ''The Wily Wars'' [[VideoGameRemake remake]] and ''2's'' Easy/[[DifficultyByRegion "Normal"]] mode). Mega Man's Japanese name is '''Rock'''man, and Cutman has a pair of ''scissors'' on his head, [[RockPaperScissors so...]]

* ThisIsUnforgivable: When playing as Cutman in ''Powered Up'', he was furious at Wily for what happened to the other Robot Masters.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Gutsman in the cartoon.
** BigGuyLittleGuy: In a possible ShoutOut, Cutman is sitting on Gutsman's shoulder in the ending for ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp''.

!!No.004 Gutsman

-->'''Gutsman''': "It's a foreman's job to look out for everybody, but sometimes you gotta do what ain't in the blueprints!"

** Gutsman seems to have this reputation in-universe too, as Wily refers to him as having strength but no brains if you play as Gutsman in ''Powered Up''. Of course, Wily isn't exactly a nice person, and compared to him, Gutsman ''is'' essentially dumb.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Fans are generally mixed on what happens to him and Cutman (and the rest of the original Robot Masters for that matter) after ''1''.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Cutman in the cartoon.
** BigGuyLittleGuy: In a possible ShoutOut, Cutman is sitting on Gutsman's shoulder in the ending for ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp''.

* WeCanRebuildHim: Wily really seems to like Gutsman. This is first hinted at in ''1'', where his image is dotted around the final stretch of castle for no adequately explained reason. He's then rebuilt as a giant tank in ''2'', and in ''7'' he's rebuilt with treads. A number of robots scattered about the sequels also bare more than a passing resemblance to him.

!!No.005 Iceman

* StealthPun: In ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp'', he has displays sort of bi''polar'' disorder, possibly due to Dr. Wily. This isn't present in other appearances, which usually portray him as the "cute" one of the bunch ([[BewareTheNiceOnes despite his weapon being as deadly to Mega Man as Elecman's power]]).

!!No.006 Bombman

-> A punk-looking robot master. Built for mine excavation, he was repurposed by Dr. Wily to level cities. Designed to work alongside Gutsman on construction projects, with Bombman handling demolition and Gutsman doing the heavy lifting.

* BigDamnHeroes: In ''Super Adventure Rockman'', losing against certain bosses will result in Bombman showing up to save Mega Man.

!!No.007 Fireman

* DemotedToExtra: In the various animated adaptions, Fireman tends to appear less and is less important than other Game 1 Robot Masters. He appears less often in games, too.

!!No.006 Elecman

* WeaksauceWeakness[=/=]LogicalWeakness: Although being weak to Cutman's metal scissors makes sense, Elecman is often portrayed as serious and focused, while Cutman tends to be portrayed as kind of goofy.
** It could also be that Elecman could be related to wires and cutting wires ruins them.

!![=DLN00A=] Time Man

!![=DLN00B=] Oil Man

!!No.009 Metalman

-> The very first Robot Master created solely by Dr. Wily. Has an unlimited amount of metal saw blades that he can pull from [[HyperspaceArsenal nowhere]], in addition to one more attached to his head. Based off of Cutman in design, he took over an industrial factory. Tends to be pragmatic.

* ExtraOreDinary: Named "Metalman" and his weapons are metallic.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Originally was this to Cutman, until DivergentCharacterEvolution took helm.

!!No.010 Airman

* ForMassiveDamage; Leaf Shield will do quick work of Airman.

!!No.011 Bubbleman

!!No.012 Quickman

-> A lightweight Robot Master made of a precursor to the Bassnium that would later be used by Dr. Wily to create Bass. Crafted from Elecman's design template. Extremely arrogant and serious, but also likes to go go-karting on occasion.

* {{Expy}}: More subtle than others, but he takes elements of Cutman and Elecman.

!!No.013 Crashman

-> A Robot Master armed with drill-tipped time bombs and a body that can resist explosions. Based on the designs of Bombman and Gutsman. Is very clumsy.

* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod states that he was constructed by using Gutsman and Bombman.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Oh boy...some people know him as C'''r'''ashman, while others know him as C'''l'''ashman. His name can even be interpreted as C'''ru'''shman. It doesn't help that, in the vein of Gutsman, ''none'' of these names have anything but an esoteric connection to his powers or appearance. Romanized as "Clashman" in the Japanese version and Game Boy game, and "Crashman" in the English NES release and ''Power Battle''.

!!No.014 Flashman

* TimeStandsStill[=/=]TimeMaster: Unlike Time Man, who only has the ability to slow down time, Flashman has the ability to completely stop it.

!!No.015 Heatman

-> The games didn't even wait a single game to introduce a second [[KillItWithFire fire-based robot master.]] This one, while more powerful than Fireman, can only reach full power when he closes his lid. When he blows his lid, he can't aim straight.

* ILoveNuclearPower: The source of his heightened power over Fireman is his nuclear-powered core. Hence the ability Atomic Fire.

!!No.016 Woodman

!!No.17 Needle Man

!!No.18 Magnet Man

!!No.19 Gemini Man

!!No.20 Hard Man

!!No.21 Top Man

!!No.22 Snake Man

!!No.23 Spark Man

* SequelEscalation: Can generate twice the electricity compared to Elecman, though Elecman has better focus on his power.

!!No.24 Shadow Man

* {{Expy}}: To Metalman.

* LightningBruiser: Very fast, powerful, and is overall more durable than Quickman (not counting his main weakness).

!!No.25 Bright Man

!!No.26 Toad Man

!!No.27 Drill Man

* {{Expy}}: Looks an awful lot like Crashman.

!!No.28 Pharaoh Man

* AdaptationalBadass: While already a relatively dangerous boss in the game, he somehow became even ''more'' {{Badass}} in the cheesy, pun-ridden cartoon. [[OnlySaneMan He never did anything silly]], [[HypercompetentSidekick had an aura of competence around him]], [[MegatonPunch could shoot Mega Man all the way to the courtyard]] and topped it all off by, instead of running away like some other robot masters (we're looking at you, Cutman), [[TalkToTheFist punched Mega Man in the face]] when the latter stole his main weapon.

!!No.29 Ring Man

* BloodKnight: Like Quickman, he was strictly programmed to kill Mega Man.

* {{Expy}}: To Metalman and Shadow Man.

!!No.30 Dust Man

!!No.31 Dive Man

* LogicalWeakness: To Elecman's Thunder Beam in ''Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters'', since it is indeed dangerous to mix electricity with water.

!!No.32 Skull Man

!!DWN.No-33 Gravity Man

!!DWN.No-34 Wave Man

-> A Robot Master who took control of the water quality administration facility. He is armed with the Water Wave and his harpoon. Unlike Bubbleman, he's just as adept on land.

!!DWN.No-35 Stone Man

!!DWN.No-36 Gyro Man

!!DWN.No-37 Star Man

!!DWN.No-38 Charge Man

!!DWN.No-39 Napalm Man

!!DWN.No-40 Crystal Man

* NoSell: Most of the bosses here are immune to Plant Barrier with the exception of Tomahawkman, who is weak to it.

!!DWNB-41 Blizzardman

* {{Expy}}: Level-wise, of Iceman. However, his appearance calls from Airman and Gutsman.

!!DWNB-42 Centaurman

-> A Robot Master that originally worked tending museums and guiding tourists though Greek ruins. Good pals with Tomahawkman.

* AlternateCharacterReading: Centaurman's transcription in katakana is actually closer to ''Kéntauros''man.

* SamusIsAGirl: In the ''Rockman 6'' manga, Centuarman is really a Centaur''woman'', harboring a crush towards Knightman, despite the fact that she is weak to his weapon.

!!DWNB-43 Flameman

* {{Expy}}: Gameplay wise, of Heatman.

* LogicalWeakness: Flame-based robot doesn't take well to both wind and water weaponry. Which makes him weak to Windman's Wind Storm in 6; Pump Man's Water Shield in 10.

!!DWNB-44 Knightman

* FriendlyRival: To Yamatoman.

!!DWNB-45 Plantman

!!DWNB-46 Tomahawkman

-> A Native American robot of [[BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins very indeterminate origin]] built specifically for combat. At the First Annual Robot Tournament, Mr. X reprogrammed him to take over the world and placed his base in an Indian reservation. Pretty good friends with Centaurman.

* WeaksauceWeakness: As a combat warrior, he cannot comprehend the use of Plantman's Plant Barrier as anything other than a weapon, and thus takes more damage from it.

!!DWNB-47 Windman

* {{Expy}}: To Airman. Their similarities are strong enough for them to have formed a rivalry because of it.

!!DWNB-48 Yamatoman

* ArmorPiercingAttack: explaining Knightman's weakness to it.

* FriendlyRival: To Knightman.

!!Freeze Man <[=DWNo.049=]>

-> A clean-energy producing robot. When Dr. Wily went to jail, Freeze Man was the one to break him out. Has great respect for Iceman.

!!Junk Man <[=DWNo.050=]>

->A Robot Master that was designed to rescue victims of sinking ships and beach accidents. She is fond of karaoke bars so she can show off her singing voice.

It should be said that according to this manga (Rockman Megamix), Mega Man never killed his brothers; they were simply reformatted a la ''Powered Up''.

[[hardline]]
* FlyingSaucer: He's shaped like one.
* RockBeatsLaser: He's weak against wet concrete.
* SpaceMaster: Second Robot Master to be based as something space related.
* UnblockableAttack: Black Hole Bomb sucks in everything. Including those otherwise-invincible mines in Splash Woman's stage, AND even Metools under their hats!
* UnrealisticBlackHole: Black Hole Bomb creates these.
[[/folder]]

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: This goes for most of the series, but Of course, this goes for most Robot Masters depending on the appearance, but later games started using spaces.

** BigGuyLittleGuy: In a possible ShoutOut, Cutman is sitting on Gutsman's shoulder in the ending for VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp.

!!DLN-00A Time Man

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Although the ''Mega Man 3'' Robot Masters are considered part of the Doctor Wily Numbers, the game, and some supplementary material, state otherwise, with a RW logo appearing in Magnet Man's stage. The manga ''Mega Man Megamix'' label the Robot Masters as part of the '''DRWN''' ('''D'''octor '''R'''ight and '''W'''ily '''N'''umbers) series, which is an InterfaceSpoiler.

!!Needle Man (DWN-017)

!!Magnet Man (DWN-018)

!!Gemini Man (DWN-019)

!!Hard Man (DWN-020)

!!Top Man (DWN-021)

!!Snake Man (DWN-022)

!!Spark Man (DWN-023)

!!Shadow Man (DWN-024)

* PlotHole: Sometimes they are labelled DCN, for Doctor Cossack Number, and other times, they are labelled DWN like most other Robot Masters, even though Dr. Wily did not create them.

!!Bright Man (DWN-025)

!!Toad Man (DWN- 026)

!!Drill Man (DWN-027)

* {{Expy}}: Looks an awful lot like Crash Man.

!!Pharaoh Man (DWN-028)

* AdaptationalBadass: While already a relatively dangerous boss in the game, he somehow became even ''more'' {{Badass}} in the cheesy, pun-ridden cartoon. [[OnlySaneMan He never did anything silly]], [[HypercompetentSidekick had an aura of competence around him]], [[MegatonPunch could shoot Mega Man all the way to the courtyard]] and topped it all off by, instead of running away like some other robot masters (we're looking at you, Cutman), [[TalkToTheFist punched Megaman in the face]] when the latter stole his main weapon.

!!Ring Man (DWN-029)

!!Dust Man (DWN-30)

!!Dive Man (DWN-031)

* MakingASplash: One of the other two Water Robot Masters. However, his main methods of attacking are with missiles.

!!Skull Man (DWN-032)

!!Gravity Man (DWN-033)

-> A robot master that took over an anti-gravity institute under the orders of [[spoiler:Dr. Wily]]. Tends to be extremely humorless.

!!Wave Man (DWN-034)

!!Stone Man (DWN-035)

!!Gyro Man (DWN-036)

!!Star Man (DWN-037)

* ManOfWealthAndTaste: a self-proclaimed romanticist and lover of Opera
* KillItWithWater: Weak to Wave Man's Water Wave in Mega Man 5.

!!Charge Man (DWN-038)

* PaperThinDisguise: Dr Wily really, truly meant for him to be a "train spy." He's small enough to fit inside a train, and has a face.

!!Napalm Man (DWN-039)

!!Crystal Man (DWN-040)

* PlotHole: Despite each one being made by a different person, all the robots are listed as DWN series robots.

!!Cut Man (DLN-003)

-> Like Guts Man, Cut Man isn't a main character, but is one of the robot masters who appears the most often. While Guts Man has been used as a boss most, Cut Man has canonically been in Wily's service the longest of the original six masters.

* KryptoniteIsEverywhere: His greatest weakness is Guts Man's boulders (cause [[LogicalWeakness rock beats scissors, don'cha know.]]) His stage is positively filled with such boulders, despite it supposedly being a warehouse.

** Ever before then, cutting-related puns were present in the [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan Ruby-Spears cartoon]], with gems such as "Guts Man might be strong, but I'm on the cutting edge!"
** ArchieComics kept the cutting puns coming; Cut Man about a page full of them in his first appearance, and they never stop coming after that.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name was spelled as either Cut Man or Cutman.
** ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' apparently thought it was spelled Cut'''s''' Man.
* StealthPun: Might be a coincidence; in ''1,'' Cut Man takes more damage from the uncharged Mega Buster than any other Robot Master in the franchise (ignoring ''The Wily Wars'' [[VideoGameRemake remake]] and ''2's'' Easy/[[DifficultyByRegion "Normal"]] mode). Mega Man's Japanese name is '''Rock'''man, and Cut Man has a pair of ''scissors'' on his head, [[RockPaperScissors so...]]

* ThisIsUnforgivable: when playing as Cut Man in ''Powered Up'', he was furious at Wily for what happened to the other Robot Masters.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Guts Man in the cartoon.
** BigGuyLittleGuy: In a possible ShoutOut, Cut Man is sitting on Guts Man's shoulder in the ending for VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp.

!!Guts Man (DLN-004)

-->'''Guts Man''': "It's a foreman's job to look out for everybody, but sometimes you gotta do what ain't in the blueprints!"

** Guts Man seems to have this reputation in-universe too, as Wily refers to him as having strength but no brains if you play as Guts Man in ''Powered Up''. Of course, Wily isn't exactly a nice person, and compared to him, Guts Man ''is'' essentially dumb.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Fans are generally mixed on what happens to him and Cut Man (and the rest of the original Robot Masters for that matter) after ''1''.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name has been written as either Gutsman or Guts Man.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Cut Man in the cartoon.
** BigGuyLittleGuy: In a possible ShoutOut, Cut man is sitting on Guts man's shoulder in the ending for VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp.

* WeCanRebuildHim: Wily really seems to like Guts Man. This is first hinted at in ''1'', where his image is dotted around the final stretch of castle for no adequately explained reason. He's then rebuilt as a giant tank in ''2'', and in ''7'' he's rebuilt with treads. A number of robots scattered about the sequels also bare more than a passing resemblance to him.

!!Ice Man (DLN-005)

!!Bomb Man (DLN-006)

-> A punk-looking robot master. Built for mine excavation, he was repurposed by Dr. Wily to level cities. Designed to work alongside Guts Man on construction projects, with Bomb Man handling demolition and Guts Man doing the heavy lifting.

* BigDamnHeroes: In ''Super Adventure Rockman'', losing against certain bosses will result in Bomb Man showing up to save Mega Man.

* NamesTheSame: In Japan, his name is Videogame/{{Bomberman}}.

!!Fire Man (DLN-007)

* CloudCuckooLander: Portrayed in Powered Up as an insane robot whose obsessed with justice even when he isn't being played as.
* DemotedToExtra: In the various animated adaptions, Fire Man tends to appear less and is less important than other Game 1 Robot Masters. He appears less often in games, too.

!!Elec Man (DLN-008)

* WeaksauceWeakness[=/=]LogicalWeakness: Although being weak to Cut Man's metal scissors makes sense, Elec Man is often portrayed as serious and focused, while Cut Man tends to be portrayed as kind of goofy.
** It could also be that Elec Man could be related to wires and cutting wires ruins them.

!!Time Man (DLN-00A)

-> A robot master created for use in time travel experiments, he is left incomplete due to having insufficient research. Because of this, he tries to act more mature than he really is and is obsessed with perfect time management.

!!Oil Man (DLN-00B)

-> A robot master built to replenish the oil supply of robots and other machines.

!!Metal Man (DWN-009)

-> The very first DWN (Doctor Wily Number) robot. Has an unlimited amount of metal saw blades that he can pull from [[HyperspaceArsenal nowhere]], in addition to one more attached to his head. Based off of Cut Man in design, he took over an industrial factory. Tends to be pragmatic.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Originally was this to Cut Man, until DivergentCharacterEvolution took helm.

!!Air Man (DWN-010)

* ForMassiveDamage; Leaf Shield will do quick work of Air Man.

!!Bubble Man (DWN-011)

!!Quick Man (DWN-012)

-> A lightweight Robot Master made of a precursor to the Bassnium that would later be used by Dr. Wily to create Bass. Crafted from Elec Man's design template. Extremely arrogant and serious, but also likes to go go-karting on occasion.

* {{Expy}}: More subtle than others, but he takes elements of Cut Man and Elec Man.
