** Although not necessarily a difficult one, he makes his way into ''X8'' as a "reward" for getting good scores on Optic Sunflower's courses. He's even in [[{{Retraux}} 8-Bit form]]!
** He can be found in the UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn version of ''8'' as an optional battle in Duo's stage. Defeating him earns you a Bolt.
* CatchPhrase: "Chokichokichoki!" (Literally, "Snip-snip-snip!")
* ContinuityCameo:
** During the intro of ''7'', he can be briefly seen in a cartoon on the newspaper covering Dr. Wily's capture.
** He appears in the animated intro of ''8'' alongside previous Robot Masters. In addition, toy versions of him can be seen in Clown Man's stage.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: The Super Arm will defeat him in two hits, possibly referencing actual rock-paper-scissors. However, in Dr. Wily's robot factory, those rocks won't be there to help you.
* FragileSpeedster: His lightweight frame allows him to move nimbly and jump up to great heights. Unfortunately, it means he doesn't take hard impacts well (even the normal Mega Buster makes him recoil and take above-average damage).
* HatesBeingTouched: In ''VideoGame/MegaManDrWilysRevenge'', he has the unique property of jumping when horizontally close to Mega Man, meaning the best option to avoid contact damage is to run right into him.
* 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. Averted when you face him again in Wily Stage 2; he's the only Robot Master in ''Mega Man'' who can't have his main weakness used on him in the rematches, as the blocks are completely absent from the room you fight him in. Even still, he's also weak to the Mega/Rock Buster, which is quite literally everywhere you go...
* InASingleBound: Cut Man is able to jump quite high as shown in his boss fight.
* {{Irony}}: Despite being a timber-felling robot, the Leaf Shield is his weakness in ''The Power Battle''.
* {{Leitmotif}}: If he appears, the theme used for his stage will often start up in some form.
* LogicalWeakness: He's a frail robot who uses scissors, so naturally [[RockPaperScissors he wouldn't appreciate hard rocks being flung at him]]. In addition, though lost thanks to the DubNameChange, the Rock Buster is more effective on him than any other Robot Master in the series.
* MeaningfulName: Has a large pair of shears on his head, and is the first Robot Master to use a "cutter" class of weapons.
* PungeonMaster: He tends to attract scissor puns in general:
** His introduction in ''8'' has at least three puns related to cutting things.
** Even 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!"
** Franchise/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: ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' apparently heard it as Cut'''s'''man.
* StealthPun: In ''Mega Man'', Cut Man takes more damage from the 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...]]
* SuddenlyBlonde: While Cut Man is consistently depicted as orange in modern appearances, in his original artwork and sprite for ''Mega Man'', he is instead a deep red.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: When playing as Cut Man in ''Powered Up'', he's furious at Wily for what happened to the other Robot Masters.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Guts Man in the Ruby-Spears series.
* TookALevelInBadass: Though originally being a pushover for the Mega Buster, in later games he manages to resist it a lot more (taking only one point of damage from it like most other Robot Masters and, in ''Dr. Wily's Revenge'', doesn't even flinch from it).
* TurnsRed: In ''The Power Fighters'', he begins to cut holes in the very background of the game to attack from behind the back.
* RealityWarper: Amazingly, in ''The Power Battle'', [[AbsurdlySharpBlade he learns to cut holes in the very fabric of reality]] itself to scurry around BehindTheBlack of the stage you fight him on.
* WallJump: He has this ability in ''Powered Up'', though he can't jump up one single wall like [[VideoGame/MegaManX X]] can.
* WarmUpBoss: Cut Man is among the easiest bosses in ''Mega Man'', taking considerable damage from the Mega Buster, flinching whenever hit, being easy to avoid and being the default selection whenever the stage select screen is visited.
* WeakToFire: In ''VideoGame/MegaManDrWilysRevenge'', the Fire Storm acts as his weakness in lieu of the Super Arm.

to:


* AbsurdlySharpBlade: His Rolling Cutter AdaptiveAbility: This is made of [[{{Unobtainium}} ceratanium]], the true reason behind his "limitless potential." He has the ability to learn and grow stronger according to his experience.
* TheAestheticsOfTechnology: Played with. He has a simpler-looking design than most bosses, but he
is able to cut almost anything in half. ''The Power Fighters'' even shows it can cut through ''reality itself'' to give Cut Man a hiding place.
* ApologizesALot: His polite demeanor in ''Powered Up''.
* BattleBoomerang: His Rolling Cutter goes back to him,
literally described as having unlimited potential, and unlike when Mega Man uses it, it goes in a straght line.
* BonusBoss:
** Although not necessarily a difficult one,
throughout his series, developed abilities that were previously seen after he picked up armor parts or health upgrades; it's like the concept of Weapon Copy was taken to its logical conclusion and turned into an Ability Copy. Justified, he's a SuperPrototype.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Defied. Being a robot with 100% free will, Dr. Light
makes sure that this trope doesn't happen by sealing him in a 30-year morality testing to ensure that he would do the right thing.
* AlmightyJanitor: He's a B-Rank Maverick Hunter for most of the series because of
his way adherence to non-violence, despite stopping Sigma and saving the world multiple times. He eventually gets promoted to S-Rank, some time before ''Command Mission''.
* AsskickingPose: He always does this after he teleports
into a stage.
* ArmCannon: The X-Buster, aka the Mega Buster Mark 17.
* BadassBoast: To Sigma, at the end of ''X6''.
** And in ''Maverick Hunter X'', to Sigma.
-->'''X:''' I'll finish this. Right here, right now! '''[[UnstoppableRage I WILL DEFEAT YOU, SIGMA!]]'''
* BagOfSpilling: Unsurprising for the series, but it doesn't seem to be for lack of trying: he keeps his dash ability permanently after the first game, and both ''X5'' and ''X6'' feature watered-down versions of the previous entry's powerups, with the implication that battle damage has detracted from their effectiveness. ''X7'' and
''X8'' as a "reward" also see X respectively regaining the air-dash and super charge shots, which were once armor exclusive powers, for getting good scores on Optic Sunflower's courses. He's even his base form.
** GameplayAndStorySegregation: One way or the other -- a memorable boss fight
in [[{{Retraux}} 8-Bit form]]!
** He
''X5'' suggests at the very least that X can be found in the UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn version of ''8'' as an optional battle in Duo's stage. Defeating him earns you a Bolt.
* CatchPhrase: "Chokichokichoki!" (Literally, "Snip-snip-snip!")
* ContinuityCameo:
** During the intro of ''7'', he can be briefly seen in a cartoon on the newspaper covering Dr. Wily's capture.
** He appears in the animated intro of ''8'' alongside previous Robot Masters. In addition, toy versions of him can be seen in Clown Man's stage.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors:
recover old maverick weapons somehow. The Super Arm will defeat him in two hits, possibly referencing actual rock-paper-scissors. However, in Dr. Wily's robot factory, those rocks won't be there to help you.
* FragileSpeedster: His lightweight frame allows him to move nimbly and jump up to great heights. Unfortunately, it means he
leading theory is that X doesn't take hard impacts well (even ''want'' to have all that power, so he voluntarily gets rid of his weapons at the normal Mega Buster makes him recoil and take above-average damage).
* HatesBeingTouched: In ''VideoGame/MegaManDrWilysRevenge'', he has the unique property

each game.
* KryptoniteIsEverywhere: BerserkButton: His greatest weakness strength and AchillesHeel is Guts Man's boulders ('cause [[LogicalWeakness rock beats scissors, don'cha know]]). His stage is positively filled his emotional bond with such boulders, his allies. Threaten them. Cause them harm. Use them as leverage against him. Turn them against him if you want. He'll blast a trail through your minions to see that you pay for it in blood.
--> '''Sigma:''' "Hmm...I see a new clarity in your eyes. You are no longer troubled."\\
'''X:''' "'''[[ThisIsUnforgivable WHAT YOU'VE DONE IS UNFORGIVABLE, SIGMA!]]'''"
** ''Maverick Hunter X'' shows what happens when X has to deal with the loss of his friend. He goes from being a little detached from the conflict and reluctant to fight to full-on scary voice, angry eyes, and absolute lethal intent. The change is ''jarring''.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: The final boss of ''Maverick Hunter X'' shows that X can be downright terrifying when he gets mad. X's enemies tend to forget that he's a Maverick Hunter that's defeated countless opponents, and saved the world multiple times.
* BlackBox: His design and mechanisms are so hard to understand and looks complex even by the future's standards (i.e when they found him a century after his sealing). Dr. Cain notes that he couldn't replicate X completely due to this (that, and he was actually an archeobotanist). Only in the ''Zero'' series does someone manage to create the closest thing to a "perfect" copy of X, and even then it still has its flaws -- [[AIIsACrapshoot Dr. Light put X in a 30-year ethical testing for a reason]].
* BlueIsHeroic: The Blue Bomber's next incarnation, pretty much. Fittingly, he's the nicer of the two, and later three, heroes.
* [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]]: The blue to Zero's red. Much later on, though, the relation is inverted: X becomes the Red Oni as X become more emotional.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Only in ''X8'', but there's an X on the sides of his helmet.
** The new basic armor he sports in ''Command Mission'' has a white X on the chest.
* CallForward: Zero's ''X7'' ending. "[[HeWhoFightsMonsters Eliminate the Mavericks]]. [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment The Mavericks...eliminate...]]" Depressingly, this game marks the one time we see X actually try to escape his fate, so it packs a punch even though the writers [[{{Wangst}} botched]] [[ReplacementScrappy it]].
* CallingYourAttacks: In later games, and the remake of the first.
* TheCameo:
** Appears briefly in Zero's ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'' ending.
** He and the other Mega Men ([[VideoGame/MegaManLegends Volnutt]], [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork EXE]], and [[VideoGame/MegaManStarForce Geo]]) come to aid the classic Mega Man in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''. during his Final Smash. X also appears as a collectable trophy, and his armor is DLC that can be worn by Mii Gunners.
* CarFu: In the opening of ''X2'', he jumps out from his speeding Ride Chaser, which then hits the Mechaniloid guarding the facility he's trying to infiltrate.
** Can be done in-game as well, in Overdrive Ostrich's stage, as well as in ''X4'' and ''X5''.
* CharacterDevelopment: Subverted; his fall from the spotlight coincided exactly with the series' increased focus on characterization. It is only heavily displayed in the end of X5, X6, and through X8 do we see true examples of growth upon X's part beyond that point.[[note]]In taking up Zero's saber and leading the Hunters, telling off the revived Sigma as a minor nuisance in the face of more important tasks, and being an overall capable and determined leader of the S-Class Hunters throughout X8[[/note]] However, ''The Day of Sigma'' and ''Maverick Hunter X'' do cover his journey from WideEyedIdealist to MartialPacifist, and it's generally assumed that [[WhatCouldHaveBeen the scrapped remakes of X2 and X3]] would have followed up on this.
* CharacterTic: His "armor up" gesture (crossing his arms over his face and throwing them back), which he performs when warping in with armor equipped, when receiving capsule upgrades in ''Maverick Hunter X'', and any time he appears as a boss. [[VideoGame/MegaManZero Copy X]], his [[EvilKnockoff evil duplicate]] in the ''Zero'' series, seems to have inherited this gesture, performing it when equipping his Ultimate Armor.
* CharacterTitle: While he's no longer referred to in-universe as "Mega Man," the series is still named after X.
* ChargedAttack: One of his main features.
* ClassicalAntiHero: In the first game, where he has to shoulder the burden of being humanity's next champion,
despite not being as powerful as Zero or their enemies.
* ClearMyName: The plot in ''X6'' starts with a PaletteSwap of Zero, called the Zero Nightmare, wreaking havoc. X decides to investigate the Zero Nightmare to clear Zero's name. For some reason, this is not part of the plot entirely, since defeating the Zero Nightmare is optional. And guess what? A SecretCharacter (not that Capcom was fooling anyone) will be unlocked upon defeating it.
* ClimaxBoss: He'll do ''anything'' to prevent his friend from going Maverick. Including ''[[CaptainObvious fighting him]]''.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Blue, of course.
* CrossdressingVoices: In ''X4'', actually having the same voice actress as the original Mega Man in ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''.
** Hardly noticeable in ''X1'', since all he actually says is "Hadouken!" but only if he obtains it.
** This trend continued on the YouTube channel of Lucas Gilbertson (Zero). Here, X is voiced by Creator/CarolAnneDay.
* CutscenePowerToTheMax: The ''X3'' opening is entirely made of this trope. Blowing away two Bee Bladers in one shot? Dropping Launch Octopus's irritating mini-boss on him, destroying both? Switching between the armor sets of the first two games at will while fighting Sigma? Awesome.
* DependingOnTheWriter: The horribly self-pitying loser of ''X7'' and the half-crazed macho warrior of ''Command Mission'' are the farthest extremes, but how willing he is to fight varies wildly from game to game. It generally remains constant within any given game; ''Maverick Hunter X'' is the exception that proves the rule, as his CharacterDevelopment actually matters for once. [[SpotlightStealingSquad Zero]] being dead probably helped.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: In the end of ''X6'', after taking down the resurrected Sigma, who can at best be described as a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot nightmarish, half-lobotomized, giant parasitic bimechanical robo-zombie]], X has some ''very'' choice words for him.
--> '''X''': I have to work for the reconstruction of the world... I have no time to waste on you. If you show up, I'll defeat you.
* DoomedByCanon: Attempts to stop the fighting in ''X7''...which came out while the ''[[VideoGame/MegaManZero Zero]]'' series was in full swing. FailureIsTheOnlyOption.
* DualBoss: With Zero in ''Maverick Hunter X'''s Vile Mode.
** CombinationAttack: Aside from attacking in tandem in general, they have one attcak where Zero fires a slow energy projectile, then X fires onto that projectile and
it supposedly results in a burst of energy that spreads out like ''X3'''s combined buster upgrade.
** KillOneOthersGetStronger: If you take Zero down, X will get angry and unleash stronger attacks. The same goes if X is defeated, but with Zero.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Despite being the reason Reploids exist, and the one with the most potential power, X is a B-class Hunter for most of the series, though those who know him realize this is ''entirely'' because he holds back and is reluctant to fight. By ''X8'' and ''Command Mission'', he's a Special A class hunter, having apparently gotten over those hang-ups.
* DullSurprise: He does this in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umYHweaJHZg opening cut-scene]] to ''X8'', whether from shell-shock or bad animation. Facing down an army of shapeshifting Reploids (let alone them taking form of ''Sigmas'') should yield a stronger reaction than, "did I leave the oven on?"
* TheEgo: In relation to his teammates Zero and Axl. Is usually the one who has deep thoughts about most things happening around. But on the other side, he's a pacifist who's quite emotional, especially about fighting, and frequently thinks about all the enemies he fights.
* EleventhHourSuperPower: In the second Vile battle in the first game, after Zero's HeroicSacrifice to destroy Vile's [[MiniMecha Ride Armor]], all of X's energy is restored for some reason, ready to fight Vile on equal footing now. This was even {{lampshaded}}:
-->'''Vile''': "What the--? Where did that energy come from?!"
** In the ''Day of Sigma'' {{O|riginal VideoAnimation}}VA, something similar happens, only X's attack looks suspiciously like the [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Shining Finger]].
* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: His [[http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s158/clarklana05/megamanxbladearmor.jpg?t=1241052973 Blade Armor]] from ''X6'' resembles a samurai armor.
* EvolvingWeapon: Once you get a buster upgrade, every Maverick weapon counts as this. (Well, sort of. The second version counts as a ChargedAttack.)
* FacePalmOfDoom: Gives Sigma one in ''The Day of Sigma'', [[ShoutOut mimicking the]] [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Shining Finger]], no less.
* FightingTheLancer: If you don't get to fight the X-Hunters (and thus, gaining Zero's parts) before the Sigma fortress stages are unlocked in ''X2'', you'll have X fighting Zero in one of the stages, although he was BrainwashedAndCrazy at the time.
** Played straighter in ''X5''; no matter which scenario you took, one will end up fighting the other in the third fortress stage.
* {{Flanderization}}: X goes from
being a warehouse. Averted when reluctant, yet willing fighter to become more whiny as the series goes. This becomes prominent in ''X7'', where he pulls a TenMinuteRetirement, so you face him again started playing a ''Mega Man X'' game without playing as him. In ''X8'', though, he gets back to shape.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In his ''X4'' ending, X asks Zero that if he (X) ever goes Maverick, Zero should be the one "to take care of him". Because of the ContinuitySnarl between the two series, it falls into {{Fauxshadow}}.
** When combined with the ending of ''X3'' stating that X will have to destroy Zero to protect mankind (LostInTranslation notwithstanding), this at least foreshadows that the two of them will fight
in Wily Stage 2; ''X5''.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: X loses his memories of Zero in the bad ending of ''X5''.
* GameplayAndStorySeparation: In Vile Mode and ''Day of Sigma'', his Charge Shot was shown to be extremely powerful, the former instance resulting in Vile getting critically wounded and also receiving a ''gaping hole'' in his chest, and the latter being powerful enough to knock down and temporarily knock out a renegade Maverick. In gameplay, although the Charge Shot is definitely more powerful than regular buster shots, it definitely isn't as strong as those cutscenes imply.
* GoldenSuperMode: His Golden Armor hidden power-up in ''X3''.
* GoneHorriblyRight: X was put through extensive morality testing (he was intended to be put through 30 years of morality training, and ended up with ''100 years''), and thus
he's the only Robot Master in ''Mega Man'' reploid who is fully immune to the Sigma Virus in addition to being one of the nicest people around. However, also because of his morality testing, he constantly doubts himself when it comes to having to fight (as compared to his closest peer, Zero, who just gets the job done with few complaints).
* GoodIsNotDumb: X, a ReluctantWarrior who lives in an increasingly CrapsackWorld infested with TheVirus, capable of turning even his best friend against him. Often referred to as 'too trusting' in-universe and 'emo' outside of it because he doesn't like killing people. He's also an SealedGoodInACan SuperPrototype OneManArmy with lots of combat experience and what he
can't have handle, his main weakness used on him in aforementioned best friend will. He also ends up ruling the rematches, as the blocks are completely absent from the room you fight him in. Even still, world, basically because he's also weak to the Mega/Rock Buster, which is quite literally everywhere you go...
only person that could manage it.
* InASingleBound: Cut Man is able to jump quite high as shown in his boss fight.
* {{Irony}}: Despite being a timber-felling robot, the Leaf Shield is his weakness in ''The Power Battle''.
* {{Leitmotif}}: If he appears, the theme used for his stage will often start up in some form.
* LogicalWeakness:
GoodOldRobot: He's this, as he isn't technically a frail Reploid ("Replicated Androids"), but rather the original robot who uses scissors, all Reploids are (imperfectly) based from. Not just that, he's immune to TheVirus because of this status (that, and his creator was much better at making virus countermeasures than the guys of later generations). Though he's just referred to as a Reploid altogether (in-story) to avoid confusion because of their similar mental capacities.
* GratuitousEnglish: Applied to CallingYourAttacks above, with...interesting results. Generally better in ''X8, Maverick Hunter X'', and ''Command Mission''.
* GunsAkimbo: ''X2'' and ''X3'' upgrades, sort of. By charging up enough, he fires a blast from one arm, then the other.
** The ''Command Mission'' version of the Ultimate Armor has {{BFG}} akimbo!
* HealingFactor: X gets one in the third game, with either the enhanced helmet parts or the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Golden Armor]].
* HeroicBSOD: He suffers a major one during Lumine's BreakingSpeech. It got
so naturally [[RockPaperScissors bad that Axl had to shoot Lumine with his gun and remind X that Lumine is their enemy to get him to at least put it aside long enough to manage to defeat Lumine.
* HeroicResolve: In the fight against Vile in the first stage of Sigma's castle, X loses the fight much like
he wouldn't appreciate hard rocks being flung at him]]. did in the beginning of the game, left paralyzed and with little health. Zero makes a Heroic Sacrifice and destroys Vile's mobile suit with his remaining energy. Vile still thinks he has won, to which X breaks his bonds and restores his meter to full.
**
In addition, though the "Day of Sigma" animated-prequel in the PSP remake Maverick Hunter X, BigBad Sigma stabs X through the gut with his beamsaber. After a brief {{Flashback}} of X swearing to Dr. Light that he will always fight for hope and justice, he comes back online and charges Sigma, digging his glowing hand [[strike:[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam with an awesome power]]]] into Sigma's face and giving Sigma his trademark eye scars before finally shutting down.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Zero. At one point in ''X5'', X claims Zero is not only his best friend, but his OnlyFriend.
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: A Reploid fighting against other evil Reploids.
* HurtingHero: It's kind of his shtick.
** "How long must this war go on?" is a ''constant'' question he asks throughout the series. Him taking a break in ''X7'' only makes sense, considering the fact that he'd just
lost thanks (''X5'') and gotten back (''X6'') his best friend for the second time over the course of the last two games and seen nothing change for the better in comparison to the DubNameChange, start of the Rock Buster series. However, that aside, he does continue to fight even after being disembodied in the ''Zero'' series, and [[Creator/KeijiInafune Inafune]]'s original plan for that was X hitting the DespairEventHorizon and reacting '''not''' by quitting on the fight altogether, but via FaceHeelTurn.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: He taps into his unlimited potential out of sheer desperation in "The Day of Sigma".
* IconicItem: His X-Buster and his helmet.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: In the infamous X vs Zero battle in ''X5'', X tries to bring back the Maverick Zero to his, technically, "new self" (the "old self" is the Maverick Zero itself).
* TheImmune: Played with. Most Reploids will become the chaotic, rampaging Mavericks upon TheVirus's infection. But X, with his Suffering Circuit inside him, will instead get hurt upon infection, as the circuit's trying to prevent him from being rampaging and genocidal.
* InSeriesNickname: In the earlier games, other characters would call him anything from his full name [[DubNameChange (Rockman X, or Mega Man X)]] or even [[OneMarioLimit Mega Man]], to just [[OneLetterName X]]. While he continued to be called Mega Man X or sometimes Mega Man in promotional materials, he was consistently called X in the games from ''X4'' onwards, creating a lot of confusion with people who thought Mega Man was just an ArtifactTitle — a notion which seemed to be canon until ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'' referred to him as Mega Man X again.
* ItNeverGetsAnyEasier: X always feels grief and doubt about those who die in the Maverick Wars, even his own enemies, because he's at heart a MartialPacifist. It's even been argued that he deliberately does this so he always has sympathy for the enemy, because becoming callous is not the way to finding real peace. When he finally loses all sympathy centuries into the future, he retires.
* JackOfAllStats: In ''X8'', relative to the other playable characters. He can be nudged towards different skill sets depending on which armor parts you go with.
* {{Keigo}}: Post-''Command Mission''[='=]s [[Creator/TakahiroSakurai Japanese]] X speaks very politely to everyone, even going so far as to use ''[[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns Watashi]]''.
* [[KnightKnaveAndSquire The Knight]]
* LaserBlade: He can acquire Zero's saber in ''X3'' if Zero destroys a certain mini-boss in one of the fortress stages. Unlike his ''Street Fighter''-inspired secret moves, he can use the saber by charging his X-Buster all the way and he releases a beam when swung. He gets Zero's saber again in ''X6''; however, unlike Zero, he can only do a single slash, but with armor upgrades, its ability gets tweaked up.
** BladeBelowTheShoulder: The Blade Armor from the same game.
** SwordBeam: In ''X3'', as mentioned above. In ''X6'', it's the Giga Attack for the Blade Armor, which involves firing a crescent blade forward that does heavy damage. Shadow Armor's Giga Attack uses this differently, with 2 crescent blades that revolve around him, damaging everything in the vicinity.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: In the bad ending in ''X5'', Dr. Light erases all of X's memories of Zero, and installs a program that will "reject" any information regarding Zero.
* LegacyCharacter: Succeeds the [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic original Mega Man]] as the hero of this time period.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: An impending fight between him and Zero has been hinted upon ever since ''X2''. (Though in a non-canon process just before the final battle in that case.) It was again touched upon in ''X4'' before finally taking place in ''X5'', and by extension, ''X6''.
* LetXBeTheUnknown: Aside from being a BlackBox, his name represents limitless potential. It also carries connotations of danger, leading Light to apparently seal him because TheWorldIsNotReady. Then again, he might have been lying about the last part to spare X's feelings.
* LevelMapDisplay: In ''X3'', the head upgrade gives X access to a (very rudimentary) map of the level, dividing it into small sectors, and showcasing the special items of the level.
* LongRangeFighter: Specializes in buster combat compared to Zero's sword-based gameplay.
** ShortRangeGuyLongRangeGuy: His emphasis on gunplay and keeping his distance from the enemy contrasts Zero's melee fighting style.
* MagikarpPower: Really, X himself. No match for pretty much anything at the start of the first game, he
is more effective on him than any other Robot Master or less a OneManArmy by the end.
** A more traditional example is Zero's saber in ''X6''. Oh, X can't wield it for crap (unlike
in the series.
third game, where it was ridiculously powerful and even useful at range in his hands), but the subsequently collected armors allow it to be used as a ChargedAttack, and [[EliteTweak a certain set of parts]] restore it to ridiculous levels of power.
* MeaningfulName: Has a large pair X stands for an unknown variable (like in algebra) containing unlimited potential. This was elaborated upon in ''Maverick Hunter X'', where it is also mentioned that the letter "X" denotes danger, such as the tragic results that could occur if X was to violate the First Law of shears on Robotics (cannot harm humans), hence his head, being kept in stasis before he could be safely released.
* MechanicalEvolution: He's apparently the key to this, if ''Maverick Hunter X'' is to be believed. As he's forced to fight
and evolve, more and more powerful Reploids can be made out of him. Sigma is savvy enough to realize this, at least in the remake.
* MoreDakka / [[PowerFloats Floating]] [[WalkingArmory Armory]]: His ''Command Mission''-version Ultimate Armor.
* MultiformBalance: The armors in ''X5''-''X6'', as well as Neutral Armor's upgrades in ''X8''.
** ''X5'': All armors reduce damage taken by 50%. The Force/Fourth Armor has normal mobility, its charged shot being the multi-hitting Plasma Shot (but only on
the first Robot Master thing it hits), energy consumption for special weapons is reduced by 50% and is able to charge special weapons. The Falcon Armor has high mobility with its flight capability, it's invulnerable to collision damage and can hurt enemies by clashing at them while flying, its charge shot can pierce through walls but deals comparatively weak damage and has small hitbox, it cannot charge special weapons, and its Giga Attack is a full-screen blast that is good for clearing the screen. The Gaea Armor moves slowly, has a slow dash and cannot airdash, and it can't use special weapons, but it is invulnerable to spikes, will not slide down walls when wall-jumping, can push special blocks with his dash, and its Giga Attack is a "cutter" class short-ranged blast in front of weapons.
* PungeonMaster: He tends
X that causes massive damage to attract scissor puns things in general:
**
front of it, even bosses. His introduction buster shot lacks range, but is very powerful and can be used to dissipate other projectiles in ''8'' its way and destroy special blocks. The Ultimate Armor is a more powerful version of the Force Armor in that its Plasma Shot will have effect on everything it blasts through and its Giga Attack, the Nova Strike, is not only useful for damaging but also moving around and avoiding damage, and its uses is unlimited (while the others' Giga Attack needs you to fill its gauge first).
** ''X6'': All armors reduce damage taken by 50%. The Falcon Armor returns, but its capabilities are changed: It reduces weapon energy usage by 33%, it's no longer able to fly but instead has enhanced airdash with invulnerability, its charge shot is less powerful, but it now can charge special weapons. The Blade Armor can also reduce weapon energy usage by 33% and can charge special weapons, special weapons gauge is increased by 50%, it has longer 4-directional airdash with invulnerability on startup, and its Giga Attack is a SwordBeam that flies forward, dealing high damage to everything on its way. It has 2 charged shots: one that is the weaker version of the Plasma Shot above, and another that is an enhanced version of the Z-Saber swing that does more damage and has larger hitbox. The Shadow Armor is invulnerable to spikes, lets him do a CeilingCling, enhanced normal Z-Saber attack, and its Giga Attack is him doing a circular slash that causes 2 Sword Beams to encircle him for a short time, highly damaging everything in vicinity. Its normal shot is changed into him firing shurikens with randomized trajectory (like C-shot weapon in ''X5'') and its charged shot is a more powerful Z-Saber attack. The Ultimate Armor returns, and has the same capability.
** ''X8'': The Neutral Armor is the same as X himself, [[MasterOfNone with no special capabilities.]] It then would become the basis for all his other armors. Icarus Armor (completed I-parts) is an armor system that focuses on attack power and aerial advantage capabilities. Hermes Armor (completed H-parts) is an Armor system that focuses on movement speed and mobility. The Ultimate Armor is similar to before, but it has some capabilities of both Hermes and Icarus armors, it can use both uncharged and charged special weapons infinitely, it's able to do a Shoryuken attack, and its Nova Strike is much more damaging (although isn't as spammy as before).
* {{Ninja}}: His Shadow Armor of ''X6'' is clearly modeled after one, with his buster shooting shurikens, being able to CeilingCling and provides immunity to [[SpikesOfDoom spikes]] like the Gaea Armor before it.
* OddFriendship: A pacifist becoming best friends with no-nonsense warrior? Not to mention that they're destined to fight each other...
* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: Aside from [[spoiler: Wily and Zero turned Maverick]], X is much older than any of the characters he fights against.
* OneHitKill: The Nova Strike from the Ultimate Armor (especially in ''X8'') and X's Z-Saber in ''X3'' qualify. The hidden [[Franchise/StreetFighter Hadoken]] move is a true one-hit-kill on anything it touches.
* OneManArmy: Especially in the first two games.
* OnlyFriend: As of ''X5'', Zero is this for him. [[JustifiedTrope There might be]] [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies good reasons]], especially after what happened to Zero one game earlier. There might also be [[HoYay other reasons]], but that doesn't entirely cover it.
* OutOfFocus: After ''X3'', and [[ReplacementScrappy especially]] in ''X7''. Axl even {{lampshades}} it in the intro stage of ''X8'', threatening to steal the spotlight from him. Too late, buddy.
* PaletteSwap: The golden variant of the Third Armor, obtained by collecting all of the pieces without any of the chips. This is more useful than the usual version, since it reduces energy usage for the Hyper Charge and makes Special Weapons recharge faster, but it isn't saved with passwords.
* PerpetualFrowner: Not as much as Zero, but still qualifies.
* PowerCopying: His Variable Weapons System, directly lifted from [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic his predecessor's]].
* PowerCrystal: It blinks when his health is critical, projects the map in ''X3'', and when we see it glow full-stop in the OVA, he apparently develops NewPowersAsThePlotDemands.
* PoweredArmor: He
has at least three puns related to cutting things.
** Even before then, cutting-related puns were present
one per game. Later he gets two in the [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan Ruby-Spears cartoon]], with gems such as "Guts Man might be strong, but I'm on the cutting edge!"
** Franchise/ArchieComics kept the cutting puns coming; Cut Man about a page full
''X4''[[labelnote:*]]the Fourth and Ultimate Armor[[/labelnote]], and four in ''X5''[[labelnote:*]]the Fourth Armor (albeit damaged), Falcon, Gaea and Ultimate Armor[[/labelnote]] and ''X6''[[labelnote:*]]the Falcon Armor (albeit damaged), Blade, Shadow and Ultimate Armor[[/labelnote]]. All of them gives X different changes.
* PoweredArmor [[MechaExpansionPack Expansion Pack]]:
** The Neutral Armor's gimmick
in his first appearance, and they never stop coming after that.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' apparently heard it as Cut'''s'''man.
* StealthPun: In ''Mega Man'', Cut Man takes more damage from
''X8''. With the Mega Buster than any other Robot Master in exception of 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 Ultimate parts, the armor pieces can be switched for different combinations. Equipping a pair of ''scissors'' on his head, [[RockPaperScissors so...complete set would [[SetBonus grant a fifth ability exclusive to that armor.]]
*** Icarus Armor: access to the [[LimitBreak Giga Crush]], [[SmartBomb a full screen-explosion attack]]. Its power and duration depends on the amount of energy in the Giga Crush meter.
--->[[CoolHelmet Head]]: [[UseYourHead An upward helmet attack]]\\
[[BulletproofVest Body]]: Halves damage, [[ImmuneToFlinching negates knockback]], and prevents the Recovery Gauge from decreasing\\
[[ArmCannon Arms]]: WaveMotionGun as a fully charged attack. Lesser charge attacks are one less level than normal.[[labelnote:Example]]X's normal shots become Level-1 charged shots, and Level-2 charged shots become Level-3 charged shots. The maximum charged shot becomes a powerful laser[[/labelnote]]\\
[[TrickedOutShoes Legs]]: [[InASingleBound Increased jump height]]
*** Hermes Armor: Access to the [[SuperMode Hyper Drive]], which will increase your movement and charging speed, as well as upgrading the SpreadShot into 5 shots. Its duration depends on the amount of energy in the Hyper Drive meter.
--->[[CoolHelmet Head]]: Boosts weapon charge speed\\
[[BulletproofVest Body]]: Invincibility to weaker attacks\\
[[ArmCannon Arms]]: 3-way SpreadShot\\
[[TrickedOutShoes Legs]]: {{Invisibility}} while dashing, as well as increased movement speed
*** Ultimate Armor: The Nova Strike returns, which gives high damage to the opponent it crosses over, but unlike in the previous games, this attack can't be quickly spammed (one use will deplete its meter, and then the meter regenerates in a few seconds). Also, it's now a [[OneHitKill Two-Hit Kill]] to most Bosses.
--->[[CoolHelmet Head]]: Enabling the {{Shoryuken}} move\\
[[BulletproofVest Body]]: Same as Icarus Armor's\\
[[ArmCannon Arms]]: The multi-hitting [[SphereOfDestruction Plasma Shot]]; weapon energy consumption for special weapons (including charged attacks) will be reduced to zero\\
[[TrickedOutShoes Legs]]: A combination of Hermes and Icarus Armor's leg parts
** Also, in ''X3'', you can ask Dr. Light to insert a special chip to one of the armor upgrade when you get the access to the capsule. You can only do this to one part of the armor, though. But there's a secret way to get all of them, and it comes with a nice touch of gold color, too!
* SuddenlyBlonde: While Cut Man PowerStrainBlackout: Immediately after scarring Sigma in the OVA. As the latter is consistently depicted as orange in modern appearances, in far from defeated, this is really, really bad timing.
* PrimaryColorChampion: Most of
his original artwork and sprite for ''Mega Man'', he is instead a deep red.
armors often give out this vibe.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: When playing as Cut Man in ''Powered Up'', PromotionalPowerlessPieceOfGarbage: Despite the rarity of the card, he's furious at Wily for what happened to the other Robot Masters.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Guts Man
effectively useless in the Ruby-Spears series.
trading card game, having the same stats as Bass.
* TookALevelInBadass: Though originally AProtagonistShallLeadThem: Eventually he becomes this in the time-skip between this and ''[[VideoGame/MegaManZero Zero]]'' series, being the leader of Neo Arcadia.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His Ultimate Armor in ''X8'' being something of
a pushover cross between the Icarus Armor (red) and Hermes Armor (blue) while having its own unique abilities. And of course, the same armor in the previous games.
* RageHelm: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. The design on X's default helmet slightly resembles angry eyebrows, reflecting the more aggressive playstyle and [[DarkerAndEdgier darker tone]] of the games themselves compared to ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic''.
* ReadingsAreOffTheScale: His potential is unlimited. This is read by Cyber Peacock, and even his analysis shows that his potential cannot be measured.
* ReducedManaCost: Many of his armor upgrades give him the ability to reduce the amount of energy needed for firing special weapons.
* RegeneratingHealth: His ''X3'' armor has an upgrade to his helmet that allows him to refill his health (and Sub-Tanks) by standing still and waiting.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: The predecessor to all the sentient Reploids seen in the ''X'' series and beyond.
* RoboFamily: With [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Rock, Blues, Roll, and Auto]], but it's kind of moot because they never interact. Being the template from which all Reploids are designed, however, he's kind of everyone's father. This never actually comes up, even with [[VideoGame/MegaManZero the Guardians]], who are built directly from his DNA, but it's a little weird.
* TheRuinsICaused: In the first three games, he always gets to watch Sigma's fortresses going down from far away after he beats Sigma.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Gets one in ''Command Mission''. It's not an actual scarf, but a device built into his back that projects a flowing, tattered scarf when he runs. It also comes in a variety of colors (depending on your game progress) and lengthens to a noticeable degree when he dashes. May or may not be a ShoutOut to "older brother" Proto Man and/or ''VideoGame/{{Shinobi}}''
for the Mega Buster, in later games he manages to resist it a lot more (taking only one point of damage from it like most other Robot Masters and, in ''Dr. Wily's Revenge'', doesn't even flinch from it).
[=PlayStation=] 2.
* TurnsRed: In ''The Power Fighters'', he begins to cut holes SchematizedProp: You can see X's full blueprint in the very background opening cut-scene in the first game.
* ScreamingWarrior: Spends much pre-fight dialogue [[SuddenlyShouting yelling at bosses]], especially after ''X7''. Reaches HamToHamCombat territory against [[LargeHam Sigma]].
** In ''Maverick Hunter X'', he starts off more or less calm and collected. When Zero dies, he goes into full-on UnstoppableRage, and he can't communicate in anything less than a shout.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: His death scream in ''X4'', thanks to the lousy voice acting, and being voiced by the same girly voice as Mega Man in ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''.
* SealedGoodInACan: By the start
of the game. He ends up being the template for all kinds of evil, but then his best buddy has it even worse there.
* [[SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan Sensitive Guy]]
* SetBonus: In the second and third games, getting all the armor parts will give you the ability to reduce the energy usage of special weapons. In ''X5-X6'', you can't even use the armor parts individually -- you have to assemble them first. In ''X8'', you have the option of mixing and matching between the Hermes and Icarus parts, but if you complete a set of either Icarus or Hermes parts, then you can access their respective Giga Abilities.
* ShoutOut: His in-game attacks have included [[Franchise/StreetFighter the Hadouken and Shoryuken]] (the latter twice), and in the OVA he seems to pull off [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam the Shining Finger]]...complete with shared voice actor!
** [[VideoGame/DeadRising Frank West's]] Mega Man armor is clearly a takeoff on X's look. This then became a MythologyGag in one of the ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom'' trailers, as West using said armor for a special attack alongside Zero made it look like the X/Zero combination might be together for
the game to attack from behind the back.
after all...for all of half a second.
* RealityWarper: Amazingly, SirSwearsALot: For some reason, in ''Maverick Hunter X'', "Damn it!" is one of his lines upon taking damage. Naturally, this will add up if you play badly. No one else swears in that game.
* SkilledButNaive: He's this, at first (especially apparent
in ''The Power Battle'', [[AbsurdlySharpBlade he learns to cut holes in Day of Sigma'' OVA). He slowly loses his naivete over time, but is still apparently idealistic and pacifistic.
* StoryBreakerPower: He literally has unlimited potential. In fact,
the very fabric attempted reboot of reality]] itself his series, ''Maverick Hunter X'', has Dr. Light state that X can evolve as he fights, explaining how he retains certain powers and upgrades between games. The only reason he has problems in battle is his kindness causes him to scurry around BehindTheBlack of hold back.
* SuperPrototype: Though only because Cain did a really half-assed job duplicating his technology. Not that it's entirely his fault, mind you, Dr. Light was just that damn good, but basically
the stage you fight him on.
* WallJump: He has this ability in ''Powered Up'', though he can't jump up one single wall like [[VideoGame/MegaManX X]] can.
* WarmUpBoss: Cut Man
plot of almost every game is among the easiest bosses in ''Mega Man'', taking considerable damage result of his inferior skills.
* SwissArmyHero: In any game with multiple armor sets, but especially ''X5''. Drawing
from the third game's opening, fandom sometimes takes this SerialEscalation and depicts him swapping through ''every armor set ever''.
* SwordAndGun: Some games have him using a saber alongside his buster, but he tends to fare more in the "Gun" department.
* TechnicalPacifist[=/=]ReluctantWarrior: He swings back and forth, depending on the game. ''X3'', ''X4'', and ''X7'' leaned more towards ReluctantWarrior, the others portrayed him as a TechnicalPacifist.
* TenMinuteRetirement: In ''X7''. Of course, diplomacy never works in an action series, so he came back.
* TransformationSequence: Going into a level, you'll usually see X summon his PoweredArmor before becoming playable (provided you've gotten it, of course).
** In ''X8'', even though he's already in the armor as he warps in, he performs the gesture anyway.
* TragicKeepsake: He keeps Zero's Z-Saber after Zero's death in ''X5'', up until ''X7''.
* TwentyFourHourArmor: More specifically his helmet. X is the ''only''
Mega Buster, flinching whenever hit, being easy Man not shown to avoid have some kind of synthetic/artificial hair in the main titles, and being the default selection whenever the stage select screen is visited.
* WeakToFire: In ''VideoGame/MegaManDrWilysRevenge'', the Fire Storm acts as his weakness in lieu
one of the Super Arm.few who does not take off his helmet when the smoke goes down at the end of the adventure; this has led many to believe that X does not have hair, just a metal plate like ''Franchise/{{Robocop}}'' without his helmet.
** In the manga ''Rockman X4'' in the few last pages near the end of the manga, it hints that X may actually have hair. [[http://digitalmegamanworld.com/Rockman-X-Manga/RockManX4/vol3/page77 See for yourself]].
** If you count them, X is shown to have hair in ''ComicBook/NovasAventurasDeMegaman'' and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImlfK-1PeAI&t=1m Rockman X]] [[EdutainmentGame Math Tornado]]''.
* UnconsciousObjector: In the OVA, he gets impaled with a light saber and given a BreakingSpeech, he has a flashback, finds some courage to keep fighting, and reacts for a brief moment, enough to pass ''through'' Sigma's Saber and cause him his signature scar. When Sigma reacts and was going to attack, he notices X is now immobile (he kind of stabbed him right into his energy generator or something like that), so he stops, satisfied as he witnessed the "Hidden Potential" Dr. Cain talked about.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Arguably the point of ''The Day Of Sigma'', and [[WhatCouldHaveBeen probably the entire]] {{retool}}. While he's already a badass at that point, he's still naive and hesitant.
** To some degree in the actual games too. Being a centuries-old "robotic relic" who is also a TechnicalPacifist, many Reploids think he'd be a cinch to defeat despite the fact he's a famous Maverick Hunter. They're more than a little surprised when he destroys them.
* VideoGameFlight: His Falcon Armor from ''X5'' makes him able to do this.
* ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer: He had always tried to be a pacifist, but he quickly concluded (or at least, decided before the first game) that fighting was necessary to bring about peace, to the point that he states that he is not afraid to fight his best friend Zero to stop him from getting corrupted in ''X5'', and his enemy Sigma if he keeps showing up to stop the reconstruction of the world in ''X6''. Then he suddenly made a decision to become an ActualPacifist in ''X7'', which everyone else (including the players) hated him for. Once you save enough Reploids or beat all 8 Mavericks, however, X decides (again) that yes, violence is necessary. Then he becomes playable.
** His reasoning is somewhat sound: he doesn't want to fight anymore because he's tired of killing (he's spent four of the last six games fighting without any direct correlation to helping people that he can see). Given his power, he's very good at killing, and he decides that his abilities and hesitance are better used in more of a leadership role (where he plays the devil's advocate more often than not, arguing that violence is not the answer). After you rescue enough Reploids, he realizes there are a lot of people in the line of fire in what's essentially a custody dispute gone nuclear, and decides to fight to save them, not to stop the fighting (that's incidental).
* VocalDissonance: In ''X4'', he had the same voice actor as the original Mega Man in ''8''. The voice was already rather overdone for Mega Man, but for X, it becomes just plain unfitting.
* WaveMotionGun: On occasion. ''X8'' features one as a Buster Part ''and'' FinishingMove.
* WeakButSkilled: He's almost always smaller and less technically able than the opponents he faces, but he's goddamn unstoppable once he starts. Add the fact that every game still manages to have ThatOneBoss even after he gets his 'Ultimate' armor.
* {{Wimpification}}: Happens mostly to X in fan works, because he's a peace-loving ReluctantWarrior[=/=]TechnicalPacifist who has a moral conflict, and is quite {{angst}}y about it. Remember that, despite all of them, he's still have a strong will to defeat his enemies. It ''did'' happen in canon, however, in ''X7'', where he took a TenMinuteRetirement and during and afterwards, constantly whined about having to fight.
* XMakesAnythingCool: His name.
* YoureInsane: ''Maverick Hunter X'' has the titular Azure Hunter pointing out that Sigma has completely lost it to his subordinates. None of them deny it, but rather believe that Sigma, despite his insanity, [[MechanicalEvolution has a good point]], and people would rather ignore it than deal with the implications.
-->'''Sigma''': "Our potential is limitless!"\\
'''X''': "You think you have potential?! You're insane, Sigma!"

A Robot Master designed for land reclamation, Guts Man is immensely strong, able to effortlessly lift over two tons and throw it with his Super Arm. Though he can be short-tempered, he has a big heart and cares for his colleagues (and, incidentally, enjoys karaoke).

* BadassCreed: In ''Powered Up'':
-->'''Guts Man''': "It's a foreman's job to look out for everybody, but sometimes you gotta do what ain't in the blueprints!"
* TheBigGuy: When he's not under Dr. Wily's control, he's this.
* TheBrute: When he ''is'' used by Dr. Wily, he's this. He's also strong to the point where he can gain ammunition (boulders) simply by landing from a jump.
* CompositeCharacter: In ''Rockman xover'' he is fused with Wood Man to become Wood Guts Man, although the end result is barely more than a PaletteSwap of Guts Man.
* ContinuityCameo:
** He appears in ''Mega Man 7'' in the Robot Museum, where Dr. Wily steals him [[ChekhovsGunman and modifies him into Guts Man G, the first Wily stage's boss]]. However, it's unclear if this Guts Man is the original, or a replica of some sort.
** ''Mega Man 8''[='=]s animated intro features him as ''Mega Man''[='=]s representative in the montage of Mega Man against the previous games' Robot Masters.
* DashAttack: In the arcade games, he gains a shoulder-first charging attack which comes out rather fast.
* DependingOnTheArtist: While Guts Man is typically drawn without teeth, some artwork shows him with some. The Archie comic in particular tends to draw his mouth as if he had a normal chin behind his robotic scquare jaw.
* DishingOutDirt: Somewhat. He's commonly associated with earth, and throws rocks a lot of the time as an attack.
* DumbMuscle: {{Averted|Trope}}; he actually has average intelligence. His [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan Ruby-Spears portrayal]], however, plays it straight. 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.
* EarthquakeMachine: Whenever Guts Man lands from a jump, he typically creates a small earthquake that briefly stuns Mega Man.
* ElementalBaggage: Guts Man is able to throw rocks no matter where he may be. Though averted in ''Mega Man'', where he fights in an excavated cave and uses metal blocks when refought in Wily's robot factory, in the two arcade games he can create boulders even when in the middle of a city. ''Powered Up'', meanwhile, gives him the ability to create Guts Blocks from thin air (though only up to five at a time).
* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: His reaction to the [[EvilKnockoff Copy Robot]] in ''Powered Up''.
--> '''Guts Man:''' Heeey! Those arms, those legs, that frame —- top of the line parts! If I win, you're workin' for me!\\
'''Copy Guts Man:''' What?! Hey, hey... wait a sec!
* {{Leitmotif}}: His original stage theme usually accompanies his direct appearances.
* MightyGlacier: In ''Mega Man'', he jumps around rather slowly, but also throws two-ton rocks at you. The arcade games, however, give him a DashAttack that lets him circumvent this.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Together with Cut Man in the Ruby-Spears cartoon, appearing in every episode.
* TopHeavyGuy: The chibi artstyle of ''Powered Up'' renders Guts Man this, with his lower half being considerably smaller. His normal appearances are better proportioned, however.
* SuperStrength: He can throw boulders much easier then any human can.
* WeCanRebuildHim: Wily really seems to like Guts Man. This is first hinted at in ''Mega Man'', where numerous copies of Guts Man are shown being created in the last stage of Wily's robot factory. His image is then used on a giant tank in ''2'', and in ''7'' he (or perhaps a copy of some sort) is rebuilt into Guts Man G, with treads and a giant claw arm. A number of robots scattered about the sequels also bare more than a passing resemblance to him.

to:

* BadassCreed: In ''Powered Up'':
-->'''Guts Man''': "It's a foreman's job
AIIsACrapshoot: According to look out the ''Zero Collection''[='=]s story, the reason he was berserk before he joined the Maverick Hunters was because a programming error occurred in Zero that caused him to become violent and uncontrollable, and it was for everybody, but this reason that Wily had him sealed away (apparently he couldn't control him without risk of him being killed by him). Ironically, the Maverick Virus was the only reason Zero became somewhat pacified after being defeated by Sigma.
* AmnesiacDissonance: He was originally designed by a certain MadScientist for the express purpose of destroying all in his path before losing his memory. The only difference between then and now is he's aimed at the bad guys.
* AntiAntichrist: Red body armor with pointy horns? Check. Aryan-esque [[IcyBlueEyes blue eyes]] and [[LightIsNotGood golden hair]]? Check. InTheBlood to become a destroyer of Reploids everywhere? Check. Depicted to rival the power of the [[FanNickname Father of Reploids]], X? Check. Heck, the only thing separating him from being TheAntichrist is IdentityAmnesia, as the bad end of ''X5'' can attest.
* ArmCannon: The Z-Buster is always there. We just can't use it
sometimes you gotta do because [[GameplayAndStorySegregation stuff]].
* AscendedExtra: Somehow pushed his way from MauveShirt status to the co-protagonist role -- even after ''being killed!''
* TheAtoner: One of the largest examples of the trope; he served the Maverick Hunters to stop
what ain't he started, i.e Maverick uprisings. It doesn't help that the original virus came from him by design.
* AxCrazy: Before his HeelFaceTurn, he was LaughingMad and sporting a SlasherSmile, cutting down anything in front of him.
* BackFromTheDead: He was killed in ''X1'' and ''X5'' but was later brought back
in the blueprints!"
following games. Justified since he's a robot.
* TheBigGuy: When BadassBack: He pulled this out after teleporting in a stage, or after killing bosses. This was carried over to ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom'' and ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3''.
* BadassBoast: From ''X2'':
-->"You should have read the blueprints closer. There is only ''one'' Zero!"
* BadassInDistress:
** He was kidnapped by Vile as a bait for X in the first game. Then, after Vile gets his hands on X, Zero [[BreakingTheBonds breaks out of the cage]] and then he does the HeroicSacrifice to destroy Vile's Ride Armor.
** Something similar happens in ''Maverick Hunter X'', where Zero is ''knocked out'' and Vile immediately captures him without battling him. Zero regains consciousness and then proceeds to do the aforementioned HeroicSacrifice.
* BarbarianLongHair: His ''very'' long hair is frequently used to make him look more badass.
* BattleAura: In his SuperpoweredEvilSide.
** Also when X (or himself) is beaten in Vile Mode's DualBoss fight in ''Maverick Hunter X'', he (or X) would emanate an aura, [[KillOneOthersGetStronger which tells the player that]] [[BerserkButton he's pissed]].
* BerserkButton: Iris's death in ''X4''. After that, he didn't care ''who'' he was fighting [[HeroicBSOD until the end of the game...]]
* TheBerserker: '''Maverick Zero'''. Upon his release from his capsule, Zero goes on a rampage, massacring Reploids (presumably belonging to Gamma's unit in the Maverick Hunters) left and right. Sigma shows up, whips out his LaserBlade, and Zero holds his own with nothing more than [[PipePain a metal pipe]] and later ''his fists'', going LaughingMad once he corners Sigma and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown starts tearing him limb from limb]]. In ''X5'', however, Zero's awakened form [[DissonantSerenity is far calmer]] and fights with his usual finesse, which arguably might make him ''scarier''.
* BigDamnHeroes: He manages to pull at least one per SNES game, with the last marking his debut as a player character. The best example is his EstablishingCharacterMoment below.
* BigBrotherMentor: Towards X in ''X1''.
* {{Bishonen}}: Even {{lampshade|Hanging}}d by Bass, whocalled him "too girly" to be the strongest robot, as Wily claimed it.
* BlackBox: Same case as X, though not as pronounced.
* BloodFromTheMouth: The first game has him with blood/mech fluid/oil/some red substance running from the corner of his mouth after sacrificing himself to destroy Vile's Ride Armor. Notably, he does not bleed from anywhere else despite having been [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe torn in half]]. This also happens in his ending in ''X5''.
* BootstrappedLeitmotif: X's theme in the first game, "Variable X", became more associated with Zero, as it played when he talks to X after the opening stage and when he dies later on. As such, it was later used as the intro song to the US version of ''X5'', a game that focuses heavily on Zero's backstory, and when he is found by X in ''X6''.
* BreakoutCharacter: He was initially meant to be an example of everything X could become with enough hard work, dying at the end of the first game. The fans loved him so much, he became a series staple, even getting an entire spinoff dedicated just to him.
* BringMyRedJacket: He's a red robot, and he mainly uses melee attacks, and he's a GlassCannon. Do the math.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: The stylized "Z" insignia on his shoulder(s). According to a certain {{flashback}}, Wily's own insignia can be found on his PowerCrystal. Also, in ''Mega Man Zero 3'', "DWN-∞" can be found in the background of one of the areas -- likely Zero's designation.
* CallingYourAttacks: Started in ''X8'' to keep X company.
* TheCameo: He appears as a trophy in the Wii U version of the fourth ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', and in the same game his armor and Z-Saber are DLC for Mii Swordfighters.
* [[CelibateHero Celibate]][=/=]ChasteHero: With Iris's tragedy still fresh in his mind, he believes
he's not under ready to have another romantic pursuit. This is seen with Layer, although he's also just plain [[ObliviousToLove oblivious to her advances]].
* CharClone: WordOfGod confirms it. Being a Proto Man clone (himself a CharClone) helps; see {{Expy}} below.
* CharacterDevelopment: Post-''X4'', in spades. After Iris' death, his character changes dramatically. His carefree personality turns into a grim, serious, no-nonsense one (as evidenced by his victory pose changing from a thumbs up to a simply head turn). He's still a good friend to X, but is less willing to hold his hand through tough situations, and is more than willing to [[WhatTheHellHero call him out]] for his naivete and idealism as seen in ''Command Mission''. His originally witty humor becomes dry, biting, and cynical. Even his ''theme music'' changes from energetic rock to slow, solemn, and even outright melancholic.
* ChickMagnet: One [[TheGwenStacy tragic girlfriend]], and two more "admirers." It doesn't seem impressive compared to other examples, until you realize that one of those admirers is ''[[InterspeciesRomance human]]''. There's also Ferham and Leviathan, who [[{{Yandere}} really]] [[FoeYay seem to]] [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence enjoy fighting Zero]], and Prairie, who loved Giro because he reminded her of Zero.
* ClimaxBoss: Alternative to the article that X also has above. It was all because of a little misunderstanding. [[EvilPlan Most of it went according to Sigma's plan, though.]]
** In the path to the Bad Ending, however, [[SuperpoweredEvilSide the stakes are much, MUCH higher...]]
** Also serves as one earlier in ''X2''. Much of the game is spent building up Zero's return, and if you don't collect all his parts, he returns in the penultimate stage BrainwashedAndCrazy.
* CloseRangeCombatant: From ''X4'' on, he focuses on his Z-Saber rather than his Buster, to the point that he loses the Buster entirely in ''X7'' and ''X8''.
** ShortRangeGuyLongRangeGuy: His focus on rushing the enemy and point-blank strikes contrasts X's defensive fighting style.
* ColorCodedCharacters: {{Red|IsHeroic}}, of course.
* CounterAttack: His Gokumonken technique in ''X7''. He does a special stance that can reflect projectiles and automatically retaliates a close-range attack.
* CrutchCharacter: In his original playable appearance in ''X3'', Zero amounted to a potent MightyGlacier who, while incredibly useful early on, paled in comparison to a fully-upgraded X. In the RPG, ''Command Mission'', he is the strongest member of your party early on, but leaves for a long stretch of the game. When he returns, however, [[SubvertedTrope he's still very strong]].
* [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Cyber Antichrist Samurai]]
* DashAttack[=/=]DeadlyLunge: Some of his acquired techniques are this, e.g Shippuuga in ''X4'', F-Splasher in ''X5'' or Raikousen in ''X8''.
* DeusExitMachina: Before he became a playable character, he was only around when the plot needed his power. And then, later, ''Command Mission'' also puts him out of commission for a good portion of the game.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: To the point where he got [[VideoGame/MegaManZero his own spinoff series]].
* DifficultButAwesome: From ''X4'' onwards, Zero was balanced around fighting with the Z-Saber, making him a GlassCannon with high mobility and a very damaging melee attack, but also with weaker defense and very few ranged attacks. He's a lot harder to use effectively than X since you have to get close to enemies to attack, his special attacks require specific button inputs instead of just selecting them, and he just plain dies faster than X, but with fast enough reflexes and finger speed you can rip through enemies and bosses extremely quickly and stylishly.
* DistantFinale: Zero's ending in ''X6'' (where Zero seals himself to get rid of the virus within him) is stated to happen long after the end of the whole ''X'' series.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: In ''X1'', Zero was essentially just a stronger X. It wasn't until ''X2'' that he got his signature Z-Saber, and following ''X3'', his Buster was de-emphasized in favor of the melee-oriented gameplay most associate him with. He completely drops ranged weaponry in ''X7'' and ''X8'', and wouldn't pick up a gun until [[VideoGame/MegaManZero his own series]].
* DoNotRunWithAGun: Zero is the one who really takes it on the chin here; in several of the games, he puts away his Z-Saber after each attack or combo, and you can't move until he does this. (You also can't move until his ''ponytail finishes falling''.) The [=PS2=] ''X'' games fix this by having him keep the saber out at all times, which looks silly but makes practical sense. You can also slash while dashing in said games, but doing it while walking will instantly stop him. In [[VideoGame/MegaManZero his own series]], Zero's saber combat is far more fluid; most moves can transition into each other, and he can use his saber pretty much in any way he wants (walking, jumping, dashing, sliding down walls, etc).
* DoppelgangerAttack: Has one of these in ''Command Mission'' thanks to his Heat Haze sub weapon, though boss enemy Ferham's (Crimson Shade) is stronger (or at least more durable).
** In ''X5'', his Sougenmu (Twin Dream), gained from Axle the Red, has him projecting a copy in front of him that mimics his attacks. His W-Shredder (gained from The Skiver) is a lesser version, with his copy appearing mid-dash to slash the foe.
* DoubleJump: In ''X4'' and ''X5'', Zero learns a move which allows him to do a double jump in midair (accompanied by the spinning attack mentioned below). It's a default move from ''X6'' onward.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears in Bass' ending in ''Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters'' in
Dr. Wily's control, blueprints.
* ElementalWeapon: Some of his copied techniques involve giving an element to his saber.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: X getting his ass handed to him by the ''very first HopelessBossFight'' in the series? Cue the [[AwesomeMusic/MegaMan awesome]] ThemeMusicPowerUp, an ArmCannon [[TwangHello being charged]], and then Vile goes OhCrap
* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: He's supposed to be a robot version of these feudal warriors, if his [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated]] SamuraiPonytail and [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana-esque]] LaserBlade didn't tip you off. Contrasts nicely with the kunoichi [[Characters/MegaManXCommandMission Marino]].
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: In ''X4'' and ''X5'', Zero learns a move which allows him to do a spin-slash in midair, which replaces his normal air slash. ''X6'' keeps the technique, but only during the aforementioned DoubleJump, unlike Kuuenzan and C-Sword. And in ''X6'', ''X7'' and ''X8'', he still gets more spinning moves.
* {{Expy}}: Of the Classic series Proto Man in the first ''X'' game, and was even referred to as "a Blues like character" in early Japanese publications that came out before the game. However his CharacterDevelopment in ''X4'' and in ''X5'' onward (becoming cold, stoic, and no-nonsense) and his use of swords has then become a FountainOfExpies basis for future Proto Man clones like [=ProtoMan=].EXE, Girouette, and Model ZX -- they even share Zero's long hair.
** He also has a personal non-Proto Man avatar in Zero.EXE from ''[[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Network Transmission]]'', who was made as a computer virus to infect other Navis and computer systems before being defeated by [=MegaMan.EXE=] (and becoming a purified Navi in the good ending).
* EvilKnockoff: Zero has been unfortunate enough to pick up a few of these over the years. The first was the fake Black Zero that appears in ''X2'' should X succeed in obtaining all of Zero's parts from the X-Hunters, followed by Nightmare Zero in ''X6'', an [[AxCrazy unstable and neurotic]] creation of Gate's using Zero's DNA. ''Zero 3'' would add Omega, though with a twist -- [[spoiler:Omega is a Cyber Elf personality program inhabiting Zero's ''original'' body (encased within what is essentially a self-healing PowerLimiter), with Zero (and his A.I./consciousness) revealed to be housed inside a supposedly inferior copy of said body]].
* FirstEpisodeResurrection: Well, okay, he dies in the first game and is resurrected in the second, but he otherwise fits the trope entirely.
* FlashbackNightmare: In the beginning of ''X4'', Zero has a nightmare about the circumstances of his creation, as well as slaughtering several Reploids upon being reactivated. It's also implied that
he's this.
had this nightmare at least once before.
* TheBrute: {{Foreshadowing}}: A subtle one from ''X5'': part of the opening music and start menu theme is actually Zero's death theme from the first game. Guess what happens at the end of the game...
* GlassCannon: He's a devastating fighter with his saber, and he takes lots of damage. Even more with his Black Zero upgrade in ''X8'', which doubles the damage he deals and takes. ''Even more'' with the Red Lotus Saber in ''Command Mission'', which adds his defense stats to his power stat, but sets the defense stats to zero.
** This stays true to his appearances in ''VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomSVCChaos'', ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom'' and ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3''.
** ''X3'' takes this UpToEleven. He's far more powerful than X to begin with, and still on par with X even after upgrades. However, if Zero dies even ''once'' in the game, whether from losing all his energy or falling into a BottomlessPit, he can't be used again unless you restart from scratch (or use a password generator to get him back).
* GoodIsNotNice: He tends to shoot first, ask question later when encountering Mavericks. What makes it worse is that those Mavericks sometimes [[StrawmanHasAPoint have a point about what they did]]. After his CynicismCatalyst, he gets even less nice.
* GoodOldRobot: In a similar way to X; he isn't technically a Reploid, was made with a similarly high-level technology as X, and due to being meant to work with the Maverick Virus, he's strengthened by them instead by getting weakened and/or crazy.
* GratuitousJapanese: In the games where his Command Arts are not translated.
* GroundPunch: Zero has many of his Giga Attacks involve punching the ground, though in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' he does so with a charged buster.
* GuestFighter: In ''VideoGame/ProjectG''. Prior to that, his ''Zero'' series incarnation appeared in ''Franchise/{{Onimusha}} Blade Warriors'', alongside [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork MegaMan.EXE]].
* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: In ''X5'', X vs Zero -- No matter what character you use and Zero's condition (being Maverick or not), your fight will end in a DoubleKnockout.
* HealingFactor: [[GameplayAndStorySegregation It's not utilized as a gameplay element]], but he has an auto-repair system that can regenerate entire body parts. This is apparently how he is revived in ''X6''.
* HeartbrokenBadass: In a variant, he lost his lover because she went berserk on her own merits and he has to [[ShootTheDog put her down himself.]] Zero can only blame Sigma for putting up the whole conflict in the first place. After ''X4'', because of those events, he becomes more serious and straight-laced.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Due to MultipleEndings in some of the games.
* HeroicBSOD: Part of his CharacterDevelopment in ''X4'' is the ending where he anguishes himself over not being able to save and/or protect '''any''' of the people he ever cared about, and wondering why he should bother continuing the fight. Although the JerkassFacade seems noticeable from previous games, this is most probably where it came to a head.
** He does experience a relatively minor one in ''Command Mission'' when he learns that not only did Redips manipulate the entire events of the game to both get the Supra-Force Metal and get rid of Epsilon, but that Redips also posed as Spider for an undeterminant part of the game. While the others are rushing off to chase Redips, Zero is hesitant to go with them, and then tells X "Spider was actually just Redips?! How badly have we been duped here?!" before X snaps him out of it by reminding him that Redips is going to use the Supra-Force Metal, and that they can't let him do so.
* HeroicResolve: In the end of ''X5'', after he [[LastBreathBullet gets shot by Sigma]] while trying to defend X and loses his lower half, he retaliates and gives Sigma one final shot to kill him.
* HeroicSacrifice: If there's any story about Zero, this will ''always'' wind up happening to him. The two SequelSeries (''plus'' one [[AudioAdaptation drama track]], where Zero manages to pull off ''two'' sacrifices) can attest to that.
* HesDeadJim: After he accidentally killed Iris, he realized she was dead after calling her name and trying to shake her back to consciousness.
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: And he is the ''original of his kind'', in fact.
* HumbleHero: In his ''X6'' ending, when he seals himself, he told the scientist who helped him in the sealing that his friend, X, will always be the better hero between them, and that the world would be fine with X still alive at the time.
** This also comes into play in ''X5'' during the Eurasia Crisis. See "MoreHeroThanThou" below.
* HyperspaceArsenal: Here are all of Zero's weapons in ''X7'' and ''X8'':
** [[BladeOnAStick D-Glaive]]
** [[KnifeNut V-Hanger]] (''X7'' only)
** Sigma's [[{{BFS}} Σ Blade]], made out of scrap much like Sigma's true body.
** [[DropTheHammer T-Breaker]]
** [[PowerFist K-Knuckle]], with attacks that are [[ShoutOut nods]] to the ''Street Fighter'' series, again.
** [[PaperFanOfDoom B-Fan]], which somehow projects a BeehiveBarrier (after Zero got the appropriate power from one boss).
* IAmWho: Zero struggles with various levels of amnesia in the this series. He keeps getting flashbacks of his creator, Dr. Wily, but remembers nothing else from before Sigma captured him.
* IaijutsuPractitioner: Even in the future, it looks cool. Zero starts and ends every combo with his Z-Saber sheathed on his back. Averted in X7 and X8.
* IconicItem: His Z-Saber.
* IdentityAmnesia: We learn in ''X4'' that he was an evil Maverick when Sigma first found him, and he lost his memory in the fight, waking up sane and sober. The bad ending of ''X5'' shows us what would happen if his Maverick self ever resurfaced, and it ain't pretty.
* {{Infinite}}: DWN-∞ is the serial number of Zero; it's implied that his creator sees Zero as having an unlimited potential.
* InformedAttribute: Ever since the second game, he's gained the position as the leader of the 0th Maverick Hunters Unit. Never does any of that help him in the games afterwards -- and worse, some of his subordinates also turn Maverick (like Blast Hornet) or otherwise leave the service (like Web Spider).
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: His fight against Iris, as he tries to bring her back in self-defense. Unfortunately, just after she's going back to normal, she dies because of her injuries. Cue Zero's infamous agonizing scream about his (lack of) reason of fighting.
** He also is in the receiving end of this in ''X2'' and ''X5'', should (in the former) you fail to collect Zero's parts or (in the latter) the shuttle mission failed and Zero goes Maverick.
* ILetGwenStacyDie: Iris' death results in a more serious, [[TheStoic stoic]] Zero, and his ending in ''X5'' has him remembering her before he dies (again).
* TheImmune: He takes it one step further: he's immune to the Maverick Virus, and he even becomes stronger the more the virus infects him, as shown in ''X5''[='s=] gameplay (where he doesn't lose health upon coming in contact with the Sigma or Zero Virus and briefly turns invincible once fully "infected"). It has to do with Zero being not only the original source of the virus itself, but he is actually made to be able to use it as a power source.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: His Raijingeki move in ''X4'' and Youdantotsu in ''X8''.
* {{Irony}}: His best friend happens to be the creation of his creator's nemesis. Yet, neither X nor Zero have any ill will towards each other. Of course, neither of them had any idea about each other's creators, not to mention Zero doesn't appear to ever comprehend who made him.
* ItGetsEasier: He's not totally heartless, though -- he just sees it from a different perspective.
When Middy dies with Techno (because they shared a CPU) in ''Xtreme'', he told the upset X that he knew the consequences and he should honor his sacrifice instead of bemoaning it. However, when his love interest Iris dies in a cruel and pointless war, [[HeroicBSOD he didn't take it well]].
* ItsPersonal: Very much so in ''X8''. Seems like he's taken way too long to hate Sigma's guts -- he's mainly angry about the events of ''X5'' (surprisingly, no mention of Iris) -- but other than that, it makes perfect sense.
* JerkassFacade[=/=]JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Deep down, he really
''is'' used by Dr. Wily, a very nice guy. Don't let his portrayal in ''Command Mission'' fool you. He blows up at X for letting "the dregs of Giga City" (Marino and Spider in particular) join his mission, saying they could betray the team at any time and go Maverick. As Cinnamon correctly points out, he acts this way because he's this. scared of trusting people, likely because of what happened with Iris.
** Lampshaded in the same game, when he actually apologizes for acting like a jerk at one point.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: In the official arts, his LaserBlade is often depicted in a katana-like form.
* KilledOffForReal: ''X5'' supposedly has this happen to him, to ''end the series''. Of course, Capcom didn't make it stick...
* [[KnightKnaveAndSquire The Knave]]
* TheLancer: While the ''X'' series has yet to form a distinctive FiveManBand (the {{secret character}}s of ''X8'' and the cast of ''Command Mission'' notwithstanding), Zero fits this archetype nonetheless.
* LaserBlade: His Z-Saber. In later games he can also acquire a laser BladeOnAStick, laser [[KnifeNut pair of knives]] and laser CombatHandFan.
* LeakingCanOfEvil: The Maverick Virus was infecting Reploids long before Zero woke up.
* LaughingMad: How he reacted when fighting Sigma in ''X4'' (not to mention later [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating Sigma to a bloody pulp]] when the latter was at his mercy).
* LipLock: This is the reason for Zero's infamous "WHAT-AM-I-FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOOR!" line in ''X4'', since his lip movements have his mouth open wide when he says it.
* MagnetHands: In the 3D games.
* [[SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan Manly Man]]: Being the ''{{bishonen}}'' of the two, that's saying something.
%%* MasterSwordsman
* MeaningfulName: The games only give vague allusions to what Zero really stands for, although {{Fanon}} speculated that it has a similar meaning to X, i.e. a fixed power that cannot grow, but is already beyond comprehension, neither positive nor negative. It can also mean limitless potential, just in a different way.
** Another possible meaning is "Multiple by Zero," which is to say, [[OmnicidalManiac turn everything to nothingness]].
*** Given how fond he is of [[CleanCut slicing Reploids apart]], "Divide by Zero" is equally apt; meaning to destroy utterly.
** Another possible meaning would be Patient Zero.
** His serial number, DWN-∞ (infinity), also hints at his own limitless potential.
** In ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' at least, ComicBook/CaptainAmerica (a [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII WWII]] veteran) gives allusion to the famous Japanese fighter plane -- Mitsubishi [=A6M=] Zero -- if he encounters Zero. As both the plane and the robot are {{Glass Cannon}}s that fight up close and deal devastating damage, as well as being known for doing {{Suicide Attack}}s, it's pretty much apt.
* MeetMyGoodFriendsLeftyAndRighty: As Absolute Zero in ''Command Mission'', his sub and main weapons are his claws and feet. Since they need names on your attack panel, say hello to Killer Left, Brutal Right, and Crimson End.
* TheMentor: To X in ''X1''.
** MentorOccupationalHazard:
He's also strong to watched over X from the point beginning of the game, forcing Vile to retreat after X couldn't touch him. Obviously, he's the badass of the story, but he's not the title character, so he performs his HeroicSacrifice, leaving X to face Sigma alone, with no chance at a last second rescue. Incidentally, the placement of the Vile fight in the remake justifies the over the top dialogue X uses when he faces Sigma, as it happened at the end of the previous stage, and not at the start of the fortress, making X's fury still fresh. And even though Zero gets better, he's been surpassed by X by the time he returns, and they work as a team from ''X3'' to ''X8''.
* MoreHeroThanThou: In ''X5'', in order to stop the ColonyDrop, one of the heroes has to maneuver a shuttle into crashing into it. Zero volunteered himself, as he stated that, whether or not he (Zero) survives the crash, the world is still in danger, and X is needed more than he is.
* MultiMeleeMaster: In ''X7'' and ''X8'',
where he can gain ammunition (boulders) simply by landing acquire other melee weapons.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After he beats Iris.
* MyHeroZero: [[TropeCodifier Duh.]]
* MysteriousPast: Even after all this time, all Zero knows of his "father" is a ''silhouette''; but that didn't stop him
from a jump.
learning that he is the cause of most of the hardships in the world up to that point.
** A rather popular fan theory is that he killed off the cast from the original series before he was sealed. This, however, has been Jossed.
* CompositeCharacter: NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: In the {{flashback}} cutscene in ''X4'', in his fight against Sigma, at first it seemed like Sigma is controlling the fight, but Zero just keeps getting up, laughing, and finally winning a SingleStrokeBattle, ''fist to Beam Saber'', and then turns the tables completely and goes to brutally maim Sigma. Zero is only beaten when his head crystal glows, causing him a headache, and then Sigma punches it, rendering his opponent unconscious.
* NotSoStoic: His FreakOut in ''X4'' after Iris' death.
* OneManArmy: Same as X, he's capable of taking out entire opposing forces of Mavericks all by himself.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In ''X6'', with some [[LostInTranslation loss in translation]] [[BlindIdiotTranslation (not that everything else wasn't)]]: he speaks much more politely than he usually does when asking if Dr. Light knows anything about his UnexplainedRecovery.
* PaletteSwap: Several times.
** In ''X2'', collecting all of Zero's parts meets you with a black replica of him in the final Sigma stage. You seem poised to fight, but the real Zero destroys him in one shot before you get the chance.
** From ''X4'' onwards, excepting ''X7'', Zero's substitute for an ultimate armor changed his hair to a silver-white color and his armor to jet black, named Black Zero. The effects of this vary across games (Purely cosmetic in ''X4'', improved defense and some minor bonuses in ''X5'' and ''X6''), but most people accept the ''X8'' version of it as the standard version: Improved dash distance and doubled damage, but halved defense.
** Zero Nightmare is an AxCrazy clone ([[WildMassGuessing or mind-controlled orignal]]) of Zero colored primarily with purple and green. Fortunately, he's much weaker than the real thing.
* ParryingBullets: One of Zero's recurring [[PowerCopying skills]] is an upgrade to his sword that can block projectiles.
* PatientZero: He (and arguably Sigma) was the very first robot to get infected by the Maverick Virus (stated to be [[LeakingCanOfEvil leaking out from Zero's hibernation capsule]]). Subverted in that he's TheImmune (see said entry above), but he is indirectly the source of the other viral infections of the series. See also "TyphoidMary" below.
* PerpetualFrowner: After Iris dies, he not only stops smiling, practically at all, but loses essentially all of his {{Badass Boast}}ing personality and becomes TheStoic.
* PietaPlagiarism[=/=]CradlingYourKill: In Iris' death scene, he carries the dead Iris this way.
* PillarOfLight: His Giga Attack in ''X8''. Before that, in ''X6'', he can summon a screen-filling [[BeamSpam shower of beams]].
* PersonOfMassDestruction: This was Zero's original purpose, [[spoiler:and when he rediscovers his full functionality both in the [[MultipleEndings Bad Ending]] of ''X5'' and when his body does as Omega in the ''Zero'' series, he more than has the power to prove it.]]
* PopularityPower: He proved to be popular after his awesome deeds in ''X1'', just as Inafune planned.
* PowerCopying: His Command Arts/Learning System. Of course, compared to X's, his own pales in comparison.
* PowerGivesYouWings: The "[[AnIcePerson Absolute]] [[PunnyName Zero]]" armor from ''Command Mission''. He even resembles his brother's Treble Boost.
* PragmaticHero: He's every bit as determined to achieve an everlasting peace as X is, but is more willing to fight than his friend is. Because of this, Zero often keeps X reassured of their goals when the toll of war starts to get to the latter.
* PredecessorVillain: Before his HeelFaceTurn, he was this. See TheVirus below.
* PromotedToPlayable: In ''X3'' by pushing the L button on the pause screen. In ''X4'', he becomes fully playable.
* RapunzelHair: The length of his hair is even mocked by Bass.
* RatedMForManly: Most of his theme songs, [[MasterSwordsman his play style]], and his quasi-{{Metalhead}} long hair make him a very manly warrior.
* RecurringBoss: ''X2'', ''X5'', ''X6'' ([[EvilKnockoff sort of]]), and ''Maverick Hunter X'' (Vile's route only, as a DualBoss with X), complete with SecretAIMoves.
* [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni]]: To X's Blue Oni, yet after certain time the relation is reversed: Zero is more cautious and always keep his head cool. Most likely have something to do with his CharacterDevelopment.
* {{Retcon}}:
''Rockman xover'' he Perfect Memories'' states that Zero was the original host of the Maverick Virus and that it transferred from him to Sigma. ''Rockman Zero Collection Timeline'' changes this to the Maverick Virus being contained in Zero's capsule and infecting them both, curing Zero of his insanity and driving Sigma insane.
* TheRival: Colonel. Both are swordsmen who fight for what they want to protect. Zero
is fused more concerned with Wood Man to become Wood Guts Man, although getting the end result job done by any means necessary; Colonel is barely more than a PaletteSwap of Guts Man.
* ContinuityCameo:
** He appears in ''Mega Man 7''
[[HonorBeforeReason so beholden to his honor]] that it gets in the Robot Museum, way.
* RoboFamily: Sigma, at least, considers Dr. Wily to be Zero's father. Making [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Bass]] a crappy big brother [[EarlyBirdCameo before he was even born]].
** His ending in ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'' gives a nod to this,
where Dr. Wily steals actually calls Zero his son.
* SacrificialLion: In ''X1''. With the help of PopularityPower, he's [[BackFromTheDead revived]] in ''X2''.
* SamuraiPonytail: He has his hair styled this way.
* SatelliteCharacter: His role in the SNES games was little more than a source of inspiration to X, giving
him [[ChekhovsGunman the courage to grow stronger. As the two became equal in power, Zero started to deviate from this trope and modifies became a fleshed-out character in his own right.
* ScrewDestiny: One of the most important character themes for Zero is how he gives destiny the middle finger and defies it every step of the way.
** Or tries to, anyway. As Colonel and Iris (and very nearly X) demonstrate, he's still a threat to those close to him under the wrong circumstances -- which Sigma is all too willing to provide.
* SealedBadassInACan: [[BookEnds Both at the beginning and the "end" of this series.]]
* SealedEvilInACan: In the beginning of the series.
* SecretAIMoves: While ''X5'' and ''X6'' give him back the Z-Buster and the latter hands over a screen-clearing move, the iconic "[[GunsAkimbo twin busters]], then SwordBeam" combo never becomes available. [[note]]Note that X can already do it in ''X3'' if you find a way to take Zero's saber ''and'' get the arm armor.[[/note]] [[VideoGame/MegaManZX Model OX]] gets some of them, at least, and one of them is a Hyper in ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom''.
** ''Awakening Zero'' has plenty of these. The shots from his Buster combo turn into halo-like disks that gain ''{{homing|Projectile}}'' capabilities, and he gets a OneHitKill attack that takes the SwordBeam UpToEleven.
** In ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', he ''does'' get ''that'' SwordBeam as a Level 3 Hyper... except that it does a lot of damage instead of being an instant kill. The player also gets to let him use it in ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'' as a Multi-Attack.
* ShellShockedVeteran: In the later games.
* ShoutOut: Several of his ''X8'' techniques are straight out of ''Franchise/StreetFighter''. His staple rising sword uppercut is also based on the {{Shoryuken}}.
** In ''Command Mission'' Zero can gain a second, incredibly powerful Hyper Mode armor. It has black bat-like wings, adds smaller bat wings to his helmet, claws on his hands and dark armor on his body and legs. It's a nod to his predecessor Bass and his power armor upgrade, the Treble Boost.
** His Black Armor Mode turns
him into Guts Man G, a black ''clothed'' warrior that wields a green Light Saber. Someone clearly saw Return of The Jedi.
* ShutUpHannibal: In ''Maverick Hunter X'':
-->'''Vile:''' "Hmpf...Zero...Why would someone as powerful as you align yourself with X? He's just a B-Class Hunter, nothing more!"\\
'''Zero:''' "Vile...You're nothing but a Maverick now."
** He delivers another to Vile at
the first Wily stage's boss]]. top of the Jakob Orbital Elevator in ''X8''.
-->'''Vile:''' "Don't you ever get tired of the whole 'justice' thing?"\\
'''Zero:''' "Don't ''you'' ever get tired of being Sigma's lap dog?"
* SirSwearsALot: Downplayed due to the fairly kid-friendly nature of the games, but Zero throws out "damn" and "hell" far more than his partners do.
* TheSouthpaw: Cutscenes and official art consistently depict him wielding his saber with his left hand.
However, it's unclear if this Guts Man is the original, or a replica of some sort.
** ''Mega Man 8''[='=]s animated intro features him as ''Mega Man''[='=]s representative in the montage of Mega Man against the previous games' Robot Masters.
* DashAttack: In the arcade games, he gains a shoulder-first charging attack which comes out rather fast.
* DependingOnTheArtist: While Guts Man is typically drawn without teeth, some artwork
an official album cover shows him playing guitar (or possibly [[{{Pun}} bass]]) right-handed. Art from the ''Zero'' games show him using it in his right hand, making this more a case of HeroicAmbidexterity.
* SpamAttack: His infamous "dash cancel saber" technique amounts to this. His first and second slashes wouldn't trigger a boss's MercyInvincibility and you can dashi after the second slash and then slash again after the dash. Do the math. [[note]]The exception of this is if you take the W-Shredder in ''X5'', which is actually optional, and in the 3D games.[[/note]]
** Also his Renyoudan technique in ''X8'', done
with some. his D-Glaive.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Inafune wanted him to be ''the'' main character. Even after Capcom forced him to change his mind, [[WriterRevolt Inafune didn't change his plans]].
* SpringJump: With an acquired ability in ''X6''. If he high jumps into the ceiling, [[CeilingCling he can cling to it]] and can [[AnIcePerson shoot icicles from his saber]].
* TheSuperego: In relation to his teammates X and Axl.
The Archie comic coldest of the bunch, only concerned in particular tends missions, likes to draw his mouth as if he had a normal chin behind his robotic scquare jaw.
* DishingOutDirt: Somewhat.
take shoot-first-ask-questions-later approach. He's commonly associated still a nice guy deep down, though. Oddly, he wasn't like this prior to ''X4'', being closer to The Id with earth, his more spirited personality.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Two of them: Maverick Zero, the state Sigma finds him in pre-X1 where his mind is still damaged without the Maverick Virus, is LaughingMad, AxCrazy,
and throws rocks strong enough to take down Sigma with a lot [[ImprobableWeaponUser lead pipe]]. Awakened Zero, made by overwhelming Zero's body with a new strain of the time Sigma Virus found at Eurasia's impact point, is surprisingly sane, being a SoftSpokenSadist who's even more powerful than his Maverick state. It shows in gameplay too: If X takes too long to defeat Awakened Zero, he'll become UnwinnableByDesign and [=OHKO=] X. Ultimately, both invert the trope because, as Sigma points out, both of these states are achieved by following Wily's original plan and thus are his true self, making his normal state more of an attack.
Underpowered Good Side.
* DumbMuscle: {{Averted|Trope}}; TheStoic: Downplayed at first, being simply a confident, mellow guy who, while he actually didn't tend to raise his voice much, has average intelligence. His [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan Ruby-Spears portrayal]], some kind of spirited mentality to his fights. After ''X4'', however, plays it straight. Guts Man seems to have this reputation in-universe too, is played fully straight.
* SwordAndGun: Technically starting from ''X2'''s "bad" scenario where he's a boss, which gave birth to the famous "buster-buster-SwordBeam" combo of his. In the next game where he's playable, his buster is still more emphasized, with the saber only coming out for delivering a strong attack. On ''X4'' onward,
as Wily refers to a DivergentCharacterEvolution, the saber gets emphasized more.
* SwordBeam: In ''X2'', he can do this during the boss fight with
him after firing 2 busters (see above); also in ''X5'' and ''X6''. The latter games also introduce the infamous Genmurei (aka Genmu Zero). In ''X7'', we're then treated to ''4'' kinds of sword beams, including one that [[HomingProjectile homes in opponents]].
* SwordPlant: Some of his acquired moves has him falling from above saber-first, such
as having strength but no brains Hyouretsuzan in ''X4'' or Rakukoujin in ''X6''.
* [[TakeUpMySword Take Up My Buster]]: After his HeroicSacrifice in ''X1''. A more literal version occurs in ''X3'' where the Z-Saber is an InfinityPlusOneSword ([[GuideDangIt
if you play as Guts Man in ''Powered Up''. Of course, Wily isn't exactly a nice person, meet the required conditions]]) and compared to him, Guts Man ''is'' at the end of ''X5''.
* TechnicolorNinja: Implied. He's the commander of the 0th "Special Ops" unit, a squadron of what are
essentially dumb.
robot ninjas, but bright red armor and AnimeHair are hardly suited to not being noticed. As the leader, he must be that good regardless.
* EarthquakeMachine: Whenever Guts Man lands TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: If you fail the stop the ColonyDrop hitting the Earth, Zero will remember his original programming, and remembers his objective to defeat X.
* ThemeDeck: His {{Signature Move}}s, the Z-Saber (triple slash) and Z-buster (two buster shots + SwordBeam) combos, stand out of all of his other Command Arts since they are present in some form in all games. However, the latter was never used again
from a jump, he typically creates a small earthquake that briefly stuns Mega Man.
* ElementalBaggage: Guts Man is able to throw rocks no matter where he may be. Though averted in ''Mega Man'', where he fights in an excavated cave
''X7'' and beyond. As a CallBack, though, ''Omega'' Zero uses metal blocks when refought both attacks again in ''VideoGame/MegaManZero 3'' (and you can use it as Model OX in ''ZX'').
* TokenHeroicOrc: The only one of
Wily's robot factory, creations who turned good.
* TooLongDidntDub: Probably done for RuleOfCool, all of Zero's moves were left untranslated
in the two arcade games he can create boulders even when in the middle of a city. ''Powered Up'', meanwhile, gives him the ability to create Guts Blocks from thin air (though only up to five at a time).

'''Copy Guts Man:''' What?! Hey, hey... wait a sec!

his direct appearances.
* MightyGlacier: In ''Mega Man'', he jumps around rather slowly,

* WeCanRebuildHim: Wily really seems to like Guts Man. This is After he died in the first hinted game, the second had the X-Hunters rebuild him, or at least the parts of it, which X had to steal for the Maverick Hunters to rebuild him.
* WhatTheHellHero: In ''Command Mission'', he chastises X for being so trusting all the time, stating that it's because of such naivete that Shadow managed to betray them.
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: One of the more notable instances of Zero actually expressing some degree of happiness
in the post-''X4'' titles is when he gives a little grin while alone in his thoughts during the ending of ''X8'', wondering if the end of the New Generation Reploids' revolt means he ''finally'' will be able to lay down his sword. [[ForegoneConclusion Alas...]]
** He's also visibly glad to be reunited with X in ''X6'', highlighting just how strong a bond these two share.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: In his [[InfinityPlusOneSword Zero Armor]]. Played with; he's obviously part of the heroes, but he was created by Dr. Wily to be evil.
* WolverinePublicity: Aside from starring in two (arguably three) out of the seven series, he was referenced ''and'' cameoed in two more (''[[VideoGame/MegaManLegends Legends]]'', ''[[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Battle Network]]'', with the latter even including a CaptainErsatz[=/=]{{Expy}}) and finally, appearing in a roster in [[strike:two]] ''three'' games of the ''VideoGame/CapcomVsWhatever'' series, and, along with X, in ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'' and its sequel. ''Whew''...
** Even though he wasn't playable in the fourth ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', he still managed to have a cameo in the form of a trophy. The only other

His image is then used on a giant tank in ''2'', and in ''7'' he (or perhaps a copy design, Zero manages to be this for ''the entirety of some sort) is rebuilt into Guts the Mega Man G, with treads and a giant claw arm.

Still, the sequels also bare more than a passing resemblance to him.margin he surpassed Zero by can't be ''too'' large, if Omega was any indication.

* ApologeticAttacker: Before fighting him in ''Powered Up'', the Cadet personality might apologize for following the Officer personality's orders to kill.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: He looks like an Inuit and has ice powers.
* BadassBaritone: His Ruby-Spears cartoon depiction has a suprisingly deep voice.
** VocalDissonance: Hovewer, he's voiced by a female VA in ''Powered Up''.
* BreathWeapon: He shoots his Ice Slashers out of his mouth, which is unusual for such a human-looking character. If you're playing as him in ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp'', this is also a rare heroic example.
* ContinuityCameo: In Clown Man's stage in ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'', dolls of Ice Man can be seen alongside toys of Cut Man and Guts Man G.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Ice Man's split personality and militant attitude is completely unheard of in depictions outside of ''Powered Up''.
* DrillSergeantNasty: His officer personality acts like this to his cadet personality.
* EskimoLand: He is certainly designed to look like one.
* AnIcePerson: He's the first ice-themed Robot Master, and surprisingly the ''only'' one up until ''VideoGame/MegaMan6''.
* HarmlessFreezing: The Ice Slasher zigzags this. Despite being close to absolute zero, in ''Mega Man'' the Ice Slasher does no damage to any enemy it freezes (what does take damage isn't frozen). In Ice Man's hands, however, the Ice Slasher doesn't freeze Mega Man, but it's just as powerful as the Thunder Beam!
* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: His reaction to the [[EvilKnockoff Copy Robot]] in ''Powered Up''.
--> '''Ice Man:''' Oh! A well-constructed toy, sir! Put it on ice and bring it back to base, soldier!\\
'''Copy Ice Man:''' W-what?! Wait just one darn...!
* ItsAllAboutMe:
** Ice Man is described as being selfish and self-centered in his ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass'' profile.
-->"Can you see me, everyone?"
** In ''Powered Up'', his Officer personality is arrogant and self centered, while his Cadet personality is quite the opposite.
* MildlyMilitary: For some reason, his personalities pit him as a soldier and his officer, who talk to each other.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Ice Man is rather a rather small Robot Master, yet his Ice Slasher can knock off a third of Mega Man's life.
* SplitPersonality: ''Powered Up'' portrays Ice Man as having one of these, with one being a soldier and the other his officer.
* StealthPun: In ''Powered Up'', he has displays sort of bi''polar'' disorder. 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 Elec Man's power]]).
* WeatherControlMachine: In ''The Power Fighters'', he can creating snow clouds that rain snow that freezes Mega Man. It's a downgraded version of Freeze Man's icicle rain attack.

to:

* ApologeticAttacker: Before fighting TheBabyOfTheBunch: Easily the youngest of the trio and the most immature due to being a New Generation Reploid. Nevertheless, he's treated less like a kid as the story goes on, but the treatment is still there.
* BloodKnight: In contrast to the MartialPacifist X, and the ShellShockedVeteran Zero, Axl fights because he loves to fight.
* BottomlessMagazines: In ''X8'', all of his weapons have this property.
* CallingYourAttacks: By the ''name of the weapon''.
* TheCameo: Appears briefly in Zero's ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'' ending.
* CharacterDevelopment: Axl matures greatly from ''X7'' to ''X8'', going from being a NaiveNewcomer to much more competent Hunter.
* ChargedAttack: He has one in his original appearance, but the BagOfSpilling takes it away as part of his later SuperheroSpeciation.
* ChekhovsBoomerang: Blink and you'll miss it, but Sigma's plan in ''X7'' (before the whole GambitRoulette went OffTheRails) was to have Axl copy the data of X and Zero, presumably with the intent of hijacking
him from there. This seemingly irrelevant plot point is eventually revisited in ''Powered Up'', ''X8'' (specifically, where it's revealed that Axl is the Cadet prototype of the New Generation Reploids), in ''Command Mission'' (with final boss Redips and his officers in the Far East Hunter division being the products of secretly restarted copy chip manufacturing), and (although Axl may or may not be personally involved) ''VideoGame/MegaManZX Advent''.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Black in some depictions; navy blue in others.
* ContrivedCoincidence: Axl, for some reason, was not included in the Giga City mission (X and Zero are instead accompanied by newcomer Shadow); the mission immediately went awry because Shadow was TheMole, and X and Zero are separated for a good portion of the game. Even then, Axl, trying to learn more about his origins, would later turn up in Giga City and join X anyway. The clincher is it's in the same general location where X's group would soon meet up with Zero again.
* CousinOliver: He's a character introduced later who's younger (both age and
personality wise) than X and Zero and generally "liven" the Maverick Hunters operatives.
* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: Averted. Like Bass before him, Axl can shoot his guns diagonally.
* DoNotRunWithAGun: Much like Bass from ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass'', Axl in ''X8'' can fire in multiple directions (including diagonally), but he can't run while doing so.
* DualWielding: In ''Command Mission'' his Axl Bullets weapon is his default gun times two, and two other weapons are also dual guns. In ''X7'' one of the Maverick weapons [[GunsAkimbo lets him wield dual guns and attack two enemies at once]].
* {{Expy}}: [[VideoGame/MegaManZX Mega Man Model A]], an expy of unclear origin. To a gameplay extent Axl himself
might apologize for following be considered one of [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Bass]], only with the Officer personality's orders ability to kill.

* BadassBaritone: His Ruby-Spears cartoon depiction has a suprisingly deep voice.
** VocalDissonance: Hovewer, he's voiced by a female VA
hover in ''Powered Up''.
* BreathWeapon: He shoots his Ice Slashers out
place of his mouth, which is unusual {{double jump}}.
* FireForgedFriends: Has to work ''hard'' to earn X and Zero's trust and friendship, specifically because he was an assassin
for such a human-looking character. If you're playing as group that is AmbiguouslyEvil. Axl's tendency to avoid answering questions, and the fact that Red Alert was more than happy to ''go to war'' with the Maverick Hunters to get him in ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp'', this is also a rare heroic example.

* ContinuityCameo: In Clown Man's stage in ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'', dolls of Ice Man can be seen alongside toys of Cut Man and Guts Man G.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Ice Man's split personality and militant attitude is completely unheard of in depictions outside of ''Powered Up''.
* DrillSergeantNasty:
FlawedPrototype: His officer personality acts like this to his cadet personality.
* EskimoLand: He is certainly designed to look like one.
* AnIcePerson: He's the first ice-themed Robot Master, and surprisingly the ''only'' one up until ''VideoGame/MegaMan6''.
* HarmlessFreezing: The Ice Slasher zigzags this. Despite being close to absolute zero, in ''Mega Man'' the Ice Slasher does no damage to any enemy it freezes (what does take damage isn't frozen). In Ice Man's hands, however, the Ice Slasher
copy ability doesn't freeze Mega Man, but it's just as powerful as work on anything more massive than he himself is. He seems to have ironed this out by the Thunder Beam!
* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: His reaction to
time of ''Command Mission''.
** DisabilityImmunity: However, unlike
the [[EvilKnockoff Copy Robot]] in ''Powered Up''.
--> '''Ice Man:''' Oh! A well-constructed toy, sir! Put it on ice and bring it back
others, he apparently also lacked Sigma's DNA due to base, soldier!\\
'''Copy Ice Man:''' W-what?! Wait just one darn...!
* ItsAllAboutMe:
** Ice Man is described as
being selfish a prototype. As such, he has no active compunction of going with Sigma's will (i.e. killing humans) because of it.
* {{Good Scars|EvilScars}}: [[XMarksTheHero Shaped like an X]], to boot.
* GunsAkimbo: Some of his powers acquired from the Mavericks he destroys give him the option to wield a pistol in each hand.
* {{Handgun}}: His WeaponOfChoice is a handgun that shoots rapid fire.
* HeroWorshipper: According to character data, he greatly admires X
and self-centered in his ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass'' profile.

it]] in gameplay.
* TheId:
In ''Powered Up'', his Officer personality is arrogant relation to X and self centered, Zero. Likes to get on X's and Zero's nerves, and is also very eager and interested in fighting and doesn't put concern in deep matters.
* TheImmune: Much like X's Suffering Circuit and Zero's design, Axl's Next Gen Reploid Copy Chip makes him immune to infection, as is established in X8. Plus, thanks to being the prototype of the batch, he didn't receive Sigma's data like the rest.
* HyperspaceArsenal: Axl gets unique firearms from certain bosses in ''X7'' along with the same special weapon X gets. In ''X8'', though, every Maverick boss gives Axl a new gun instead of X's special weapon. His weapons are:
** RayGun (''X7'', ''X8''), [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin self-explanatory]]
** {{G|renadeLauncher}}-Launcher (''X7'') / Blast Launcher (''X8''), also self-explanatory
** Double Bullets (''X7'')
** [[RevolversAreJustBetter Spiral Magnum]] (''X8''), a revolver that can penetrate through walls and enemies
** [[HomingProjectile Black Arrow]] (''X8''), a homing cross-bow
** [[LightningGun Plasma Gun]] (''X8''), an electric gun
** [[PinballProjectile Bound Blaster]] (''X8''), which fires projectiles that can bounce of surfaces
** [[FireBreathingWeapon Flame Burner]] (''X8''), a flame thrower
** [[GatlingGood Ice Gatling]] (''X8''), a gatling gun that sprays ice shards
* InfinityPlusOneSword: The White Armor from ''X8'', which lets him remain airborne indefinitely
while firing. And, oddly enough, heals [[XMarksTheHero his Cadet personality scar]].
* LongRangeFighter: Same way as X -- [[DivergentCharacterEvolution at first]].
* MarkedChange: The red lines on Axl's body pulse when he's preparing to shapeshift.
* MoreDakka: When the GunsAkimbo don't entirely cut it, Axl pulls out a gatling gun, a grenade launcher, FrickinLaserBeams, a magnum that ignores walls...
* MultiRangedMaster: In X8, his copied ability grants him multiple kinds of guns that he can use with near-equal proficiency.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: He does not join the uprising of the "pure" new generation Reploids in ''X8''. They, in turn, regard him with contempt and (occasionally) regret.
* MysteriousPast: He cannot remember anything from before his Red Alert days. [[AllThereInTheManual Sourcebooks]] give some hints -- he retains certain responses, such as his hatred for Mavericks and admiration of X, but he cannot remember ''why'' he feels that way. Red (see SelfMadeOrphan below) refuses to talk about how they met.
* NaiveNewcomer: In ''X7''. He irons it out a little by ''X8''.
* OneManArmy: He's about as capable of wrecking entire battalion of enemy Mechaniloids and Maverick bosses as X and Zero.
* PaletteSwap: His White Armor in ''X8'' bears an eerie resemblance to [[BigBad Lumine]]. Given what happens to Axl at the end of ''X8'' [[note]]a tentacle bursting out of Lumine's immobile body to [[LastBreathBullet lash out at]] an approaching Axl, cracking Axl's forehead crystal in the process and--according to [[TheStinger Axl's ending]]--embedding ''something'' into the injured Reploid[[/note]], most fans take it as {{Foreshadowing}} for future events. [[LeftHanging Future events that sadly have been left dangling]].
* PowerCopying: His Special Arms.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Pointed out amusingly [[http://glitcher.deviantart.com/art/Axl-and-Alia-koma-29802370 here]] (safe for work).
** And then we have [[http://www.drneko.com/scanlation/rmseries/rmx/koma/x7/index.php?Result_Set=12 this]].
* PsychoPrototype: Inverted. He is the prototype for the next-generation Reploid line, but he himself is actually quite sane (even with his BloodKnight tendencies). It's the mass-produced versions, especially Lumine and Redips, who were very much insane.
* QuestForIdentity: Hinted at when he first appears in ''Command Mission'', as Axl mentions he's investigating rumors about his copy chip/chameleon ability being invented at the Ulfat Factory (where he meets up with X's party).
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He defected from Red Alert when they started killing people who weren't "bad guys."
* SelfMadeOrphan: Red is his ''adopted'' father, at least. Axl still takes him out.
* SequelHook: Involved in a big one in ''X8''. It [[LeftHanging hasn't been settled, yet]]; [[WildMassGuessing theories abound]].
* ShoutOut: Briefly acquires what
is quite obviously the opposite.
* MildlyMilitary: For some reason, his personalities pit him as a soldier and his officer, who talk

It's a downgraded version small running gag in {{Fanon}} whether or not Axl knows how to spell his own name...
* {{Spiky|Hair}} ShonenHair
* [[KnightKnaveAndSquire The Squire]]
* SuperheroSpeciation: Axl's "skillset" from ''X7'' is pretty much the same set that X will use after the end
of Freeze Man's icicle rain attack.his TenMinuteRetirement. Fortunately for Axl, ''X8'' fixed the problem by tweaking his set of skills, keeping his copy and hovering abilities while giving Axl multi-directional, rapid-fire capabilities.
** ''Command Mission'' also rectifies this by making Axl a [[SummonMagic summoner]] akin to the traditional [[RolePlayingGame RPGs]], by transforming into a defeated boss and using one of its attacks.
* SwissArmyHero: He's got data from all the bosses in ''Command Mission'' and can transform into any of them. ''Command Mission'' is not a platform game, and this amounts to only using an attack, but as stated above, his expy does much better in ''ZX Advent''.
* TagalongKid: in ''X7'' at least. He "grew up" before ''X8''.
* TookALevelInBadass: After ''X7'', he goes from being a NaiveNewcomer to a generally competent Maverick Hunter, even if he still gets on X and Zero's nerves.
* TriggerHappy: On par with him being a BloodKnight, in contrast to X and Zero.
* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: In this case, it provides immunity to projectiles. In ''X7'', Axl could also fire at locked-on targets mid-roll.
* UtilityWeapon: The various forms Axl takes using Copy Shot are mostly useful in overcoming obstacles.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: His special ability that lets him change form.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's anyone's guess what became of him (or indeed, the entire supporting cast) between the last game and ''VideoGame/MegaManZero''. His {{Expy}} in ''VideoGame/MegaManZX Advent'' is obviously inspired from him in design and gameplay, but canonically doesn't ([[EpilepticTrees seem to]]) originate from him, which solves...absolutely nothing.
** The Archie Comics Continuity has a brief glimpse of Axl drawn in Mega Man Zero format fighting Omega alongside X and Zero (who hasn't gotten his upgrade yet).
* XMarksTheHero: How he got the scars or why they are still there remains unknown. A [[http://www.drneko.com/scanlation/rmseries/rmx/koma/x7/index.php?Result_Set=10 4koma]] states that they're self-inflicted.

[[folder:[=DLN.006=] Bomb Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/06_-_bomb_man_3820.jpg]]

A Robot Master designed for demolition, he works alongside Guts Man on construction projects and land reclamation (when Wily's not using him to level entire cities, anyway). His Hyper Bomb is powerful enough to destroy even bedrock. A flamboyant daredevil, Bomb Man tends to handle things with less care than he really should.

->'''Weapon''': ''Hyper Bomb''
->'''Weakness''': ''Fire Storm'' ([=MM1=]), ''Rolling Cutter'' (MMPU)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Terry Klassen'' (Animated series), ''Akimasa Ohmori'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman), ''Takayasu Usui'' (JP, Powered Up), ''Ryan Stockert'' (EN, Powered Up)

----
* AlternateCharacterReading: Bomb Man's katakana transcription is identical to VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: It's a little hard to tell, but he's basically a giant walking bomb with legs, arms, a head, and shoulders.
* BigBulkyBomb: In ''Powered Up'', his DesperationAttack involves him pulling out a massive Hyper Bomb nearly five times his own size.
* CartoonBomb: His main method of attack. The black part of his body is sometimes depicted as spherical, basically making him a giant cartoon bomb with limbs, a head, and shoulder pads.
* DemotedToExtra: He makes the fewest appearances in the series out of the first game's Robot Masters.
* {{Hammerspace}}: His bombs are seemingly created from nothing, as he doesn't have any for mof storage capacity for multiple bombs.
* DubNameChange: Sorta. His Japanese name literally translates to Bomber Man. For [[VideoGame/{{Bomberman}} very obvious reasons]] he was only ever called this in one game while it's shortened in every other appearance.
* HotBlooded: In ''Powered Up'', he can barely go a sentence without expounding the coolness of explosions.
* InASingleBound: His boss fight has him jumping around at rather big heights.
* LongRangeFighter: If Mega Man is too close, he'll try to leap away and throw a Hyper Bomb from a distance (though in ''The Wily Wars'' and ''Powered Up'', he's more willing to lob a bomb at close range).
* MadBomber: When taking commands from Wily. Even when he's not, he gets to be rather reckless with his use of explosives.
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Naturally. His main weapon is the Hyper Bomb, which explodes on contact.
* WarmUpBoss: Alongside Cut Man, Bomb Man is one of the easiest Robot Masters in ''Mega Man''.
* WeakToFire: The Fire Storm is his weakness in ''Mega Man'', and his ''Mega Man & Bass'' profile notes how he dislikes matches and fires.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: To Oil Man, while brainwashed. They "acted crazy together" when they were younger.
* WorthyOpponent: Fire Man in ''Powered Up'' comments that their mutual love of fire and explosions makes them great opponents.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/07_-_fire_man_9852.jpg]]

A Robot Master with a torch on his head and a penchant for [[HotBlooded burning justice!]]. His Fire Storm can reach temperatures of over 8000 degrees, burning or melting almost anything, befitting his purpose as a waste management robot. Despite this, he seems to think that he's a [[CowboyCop cop]], and oddly enough loves camping.

->'''Weapon''': ''Fire Storm''
->'''Weakness''': ''Ice Slasher'' ([=MM1=], MMI, MMPU)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Akimasa Ohmori'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman), ''Hisashi Izumi'' (JP, Powered Up), ''Roger Rhodes'' (EN, Powered Up)

----
* ArmCannon: Not only is he the only one of the original six Robot Masters to have one, but ''both of his arms'' are arm cannons. What's more, Fire Man has never been seen to change these into arms with hands like Mega Man can, suggesting they're always like that.
* BarrierWarrior: The Fire Storm briefly encases Mega Man in a pseudo-shield of fire, though this attribute doesn't apply to Fire Man himself unless playing as him in ''Powered Up''. If Fire Man loses his head flame, he can't shoot off his waves of fire, leaving him with only the orbiting fireball to attack with.
* BeamSpam: His main method of attack is throwing wall of fire after wall of fire after you in very fast succession once he's far enough away. This may or may not be an intentional strategy on the game's part, though, as in the ''Wily Wars'' version and in his ''Dr. Wily's Revenge'' fight, he only shoots one wave of fire at a time.
* CloudCuckooLander: He's portrayed in ''Powered Up'' as an insane robot whose obsessed with justice even when he isn't being played as.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When approached the Copy Robot in ''Powered Up'', he receives the same kind of short BreakingSpeech that the Copy Robot likes to give to all the Robot Masters he duplicates. Instead of being angry or demoralized, Fire Man is instead ''thrilled'' to be duplicated, because it means that since there's an ''evil'' copy of him, [[InsaneTrollLogic that must mean he's a real hero]]!
* CounterAttack: Firing a shot will prompt him to shoot back in turn.
* CowboyCop: His personality when he's ''not'' screaming at the top of his lungs like a Toku hero.
* DemotedToExtra:
** Like Bomb Man, he doesn't reappear in the games as often as the other ''Mega Man'' Robot Masters (though he at least appeared in ''VideoGame/MegaManDrWilysRevenge''.
** In [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan the Ruby-Spears cartoon]], Fire Man only appeared in the first episode and disappeared afterwards (save for appearing in the title sequence). [[TheVoiceless He didn't even have any dialogue]].
** His fight in the Archie comics adaptation of the first game [[CurbStompBattle is over in only three]] ''[[CurbStompBattle panels]]''.
* ElementalAbsorption: In ''Powered Up,'', fire geysers can reignite his head torch should it be douced, allowing him to shoot waves of fire again.
* {{Fireballs}}: The Fire Storm lets Mega Man shoot off one (as opposed to the tall waves Fire Man uses), while another orbits him rapidly like a shield. In ''Powered Up'', the orbiting fireball attribute is applied to him when playable, and in fact using the Fire Storm while his head flame is doused results in ''only'' said attribute being
* FlamingHair: The fact that his main torch is on top of his head gives off this kind of appearance. In ''Powered Up'', it can also be doused, severely weakening his Fire Storm.
* ForGreatJustice: His personal motivation, thanks to viewing himself as a robot hero, even when reprogrammed by Dr. Wily.
* HotBlooded: Pun aside, his dialogue in ''Powered Up'' has him screaming at the top of his lungs about his Flames of Justice.
* JusticeWillPrevail: He is firm in his belief that justice always wins, no matter if you're playing as him or fighting him.
* LogicalWeakness: To the Ice Slasher. It may seem rather sketchy at first, but the Ice Slasher melts into water, which puts out the flame on his head and weakens his Fire Storm (at least in ''Powered Up''). Alternatively, the super-cold weapon and his super-hot fire creates a dangerous temperature shock.
* LongRangeFighter: Fire Man always strikes from a distance -- if Mega Man gets close, his first instinct is to try and run far enough away from him before he shoots off a Fire Storm blast. The only time he attacks at a close range is as a CounterAttack to Mega Man's shots.
* NoMouth: Unlike the rest of Dr. Light's original Robot Masters, Fire Man has a silver mask covering his mouth at all times. What's more, whenever he talks, his jaw doesn't move as if there was a mouth underneath.
* NoIndoorVoice: On the few occasions where he's not shouting about justice and fire, he's still quite loud, even to Dr. Light.
* PlayingWithFire: [[CaptainObvious As you can no doubt tell]].
* OrbitingParticleShield: His Fire Storm creates a fireball that rapidly orbits Mega Man to strike anything that comes close. However, it doesn't block anything and is purely offensive.

[[folder:[=DLN.008=] Elec Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/08_-_elec_man_6426.jpg]]

The extremely prideful, arrogant, and supposedly most rawly powerful robot of the original six (eight) of Dr. Light's Robot Masters. Created to control the voltage of an atomic energy plant, Elec Man can generate high voltage bolts of electricity and fire them as the Thunder Beam. If that weren't enough, he also boasts razor-sharp judgements and high agility. Though he has a strong sense of responsibility, he's also somewhat twisted.

->'''Weapon''': ''Thunder Beam''
->'''Weakness''': ''Rolling Cutter'' ([=MM1=], MMI), ''Oil Slider'' (MMPU), Power Stone (MMPF), ''Wheel Cutter'' ([=MM10=] [Weapons Archive])

->'''Voiced by''': ''Terry Klassen'' (Animated series), ''Hekiru Shina'' (MMPF), ''Megumi Tano'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman), ''Kosuke Kobayashi'' (JP, Powered Up), ''Brendan Hunter'' (EN, Powered Up)

----
* CallingYourAttacks: He does this in ''Manga/MegaManMegamix'', and some side games.
--> '''TAKE THIS! THUNDER BEAAAAAAAAAAM!"
* ContinuityCameo:
** He appears in storage in the background of the first Wily stage in ''The Power Battle''.
** His image appears in the Weapons Archive boss (which uses his Thunder Beam) in ''10'', acting as the first game's representative.
* FlunkyBoss: In ''The Power Fighters'', he can summon three Kaminari Kogorōs from ''VideoGame/MegaMan7'', which shoot lighting downwards.
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: Extraneous art likes to have him do this a lot, sometimes having him charging up an attack while doing so.
* HiddenDepths: You wouldn't know it from a responsible robot, but he enjoys singing and playing on the guitar.
* LargeHam: In ''Powered Up,'' where every line is delivered like he's on center stage.
* LightningBruiser: He's fast, and his Thunder Beam not only has a very large spread, but takes a third of Mega Man's health! In addition, most attacks other than his weakness do positively piddling damage. However, he's slowed down considerably in ''Dr. Wily's Revenge'' and ''The Power Fighters'', with his Thunder Beam being much smaller and doing less damage, although in the latter this is rectified by being able to attack from many angles and use multiple beams.
* LogicalWeakness: Cut Man's razor sharp Rolling Cutter cuts Elec Man's electrical wires.
* OddNameOut: His name is short for Electric Man, which has more than 4 characters.
* {{Pride}}: His ego is enormous, which is made all the more apparent in his ''Powered Up'' lines.
--> "I might even tell you more about me after I win!"
* PsychoElectro: Most supplementary materials note that Elec Man, despite his strong sense of responsibility, is twisted.
* ShockAndAwe: He uses electricity as a weapon. Considering the fact that he manages and controls ''entire nuclear power plants'', it's no surprise as to why a single Thunder Beam can deal so much damage.
* SissyVillain: His dialogue in ''Powered Up'' is spoken with a camp tone of voice, and he talks constantly of his own beauty, being the most conventionally handsome of the eight Robot Masters in that game.
* SmugSuper: In ''Powered Up'' he's well aware he's one of the most dangerous Robot Masters due to his electrical powers, and he simply won't shut up about it.
* SuperSpeed: He has lightning fast speed, which is later used by Quick Man.
* TurnsRed: In ''The Power Fighters'', he gains the ability to send electricity along the ground at a certain pont of health, and can create a stationary electric field to obstruct the playfield.

[[AC:''Powered Up'' only]]

[[folder:General]]
* 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 the codenames "[=DLN.00A=]" & "[=DLN.00B=]" to match the other Robot Masters (which will be used here [[WordOfDante for lack of a better option]]). In this appearance, both robots were considered test subjects (explaining their absence in the previous adaptation); in ''Powered Up'', only the former is considered an unfinished robot (by Proto Man).
* ThemeNaming: {{Downplayed}}: Even the two new Robot Masters fit the 3-4 character limitation.

[[folder:[=DLN.00A=] Time Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0a_-_time_man_6090.jpg]]

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.

->'''Weapon''': ''Time Slow''
->'''Weakness''': ''Thunder Beam''

->'''Voiced by''': ''Sayaka Narita'' (JP, Powered Up), ''Mike Thiessen'' (EN, Powered Up)

----
* ClockKing: Being a Robot Master based upon time, he has a huge obsession with keeping on time.
* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: Inverted. His inability to shoot right in front of him is a disadvantage.
* ColourCodedTimeStop: His Time Slow tints the screen purple.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: His domineering perfectionism is born of insecurity about his unfinished state.
* LudicrousPrecision: He can measure time down to at least one hundredth of a second.
* ScheduleFanatic: Always complains about others being too early or too late.
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: He immediately hates his Copy Robot copy, being as sneering and unpleasant as he is.
* TimeMaster: He has the ability to slow down time.

[[folder:[=DLN.00B=] Oil Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0b_-_oil_man_2080.jpg]]

A Robot Master built to supply robots and other machines with oil.

->'''Weapon''': ''Oil Slider''
->'''Weakness''': ''Fire Storm''

->'''Voiced by''': ''Atsushi Kisaichi'' (JP, Powered Up), ''Scott Roberts'' (EN, Powered Up)

----
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Oil is pollution is RealLife, and that's bad, but it's his WeaponOfChoice.
* {{Bowdlerize}}: Much like [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Jynx]] before him, his black "skin" color was changed to blue, and his large pink lips to yellow. However, he still acts like the wacky black guy of the bunch. The Archie Comics fixed this problem by covering his lips with his scarf.
* CeilingCling: For whatever reason, he can stick himself to the walls of his boss room.
* DoubleEntendre: He tells Roll that "If you've come for a fill up, you've come to the right place!"
* LogicalWeakness: Oil and fire are a bad combination. He even points this out if the player challenges him as Fire Man.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Lampshades this where he compliments Proto Man's own scarf, before being disappointed that Proto Man won't say anything about his own.
* SlipperySkid: He can use this to his advantage by riding the oil like a surfboard.
* UncleTomfoolery: An unfortunate effect of his standard Japanese design heavily resembling the stereotype of blackface, and his Chris Tucker-like voice and behaviors in ''Powered Up'' while also being portrayed as a goofy, largely unserious character.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: To Bomb Man, if Oil Man is the player character.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: His weapon. It doesn't help that it can only shoot [[OneBulletAtATime one at a time]] and the oil has to "evaporate" or be used as a surfboard before another one can be used.

!!''Mega Man 2'' Robot Masters
[[folder:General]]
* ContinuityCameo: Every single one of them appears in ''VideoGame/MegaMan3''; not physically, but as sprites representing their program data being used by the Doc Robots (which are otherwise wholly separate entities -- their weaknesses will still be listed for simplicity).
* EvilCounterpart: This group can be considered one to the first game's Robot Masters -- while they were good robots (turned evil) designed to aid humanity with dangerous tasks, these were based off their designs, yet created solely as weapons of war to destroy Mega Man.
* {{Expy}}: In-universe, Dr. Wily based many of them off of Dr. Light's Robot Masters.
* InformedAttribute: [[AllThereInTheManual External sources]] note that Dr. Wily built these Robot Masters with devices that make them immune to the Time Stopper (with Quick Man's having a flaw that makes him vulnerable to it). Despite this, all of them are still frozen should it be used on them.
* NoSell: With the exception of Quick Man, all of them take no damage from the Time Stopper (though they will still be frozen by it).

[[folder:[=DWN.009=] Metal Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/09_-_metal_man_8566.jpg]]

The very first Robot Master ever who is created by Dr. Wily. He was based on Cut Man's design, and shares a lightweight frame which grants him agile movements. He has an unlimited amount of Metal Blades that he can pull from [[HyperspaceArsenal nowhere]], in addition to one more attached to his head. Quick at his work, Metal Man tends to be pragmatic and shrewd.

->'''Weapon''': ''Metal Blade''
->'''Weakness''': ''Metal Blade'' ([=MM2=]), ''Quick Boomerang'' ([=MM2=]), ''Magnet Missile'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Hard Knuckle'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Crash Bomber'' ([=MMII=])

->'''Voiced by''': ''Creator/IanJamesCorlett'' (animated series), ''Kōsuke Okano'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman)

----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: His Metal Blades, like the Rolling Cutter, are made from [[{{Unobtainium}} ceratanium]].
* CombatPragmatist: He's not above using shady tactics to get the upper hand.
* CounterAttack: He only attacks you if you attack him, move near him, or after a bit of time passes.
* DeadlyDisc: His Metal Blades, which he throws with high speed and precision.
* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: The Metal Blade averts this, being able to be flung in eight directions.
* ExtraOreDinary: Named "Metal Man" and his weapons are metallic.
* FragileSpeedster: Though he's agile and nimble like Cut Man, he doesn't take hits well, such as the rapid-fire Quick Boomerang or even his own Metal Blades.
* HiddenDepths: He enjoys playing with frisbees when he's not working as a shady blade-throwing assassin.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Metal Blade kills him in one hit on Normal and two hits on Difficult and in the Japanese version.
* InconvenientlyPlacedConveyorBelt: His whole stage is full of them. Even his boss room has one! Humorously, though his rematch in the Wily Castle lacks one, he still runs in place as if there were one.
* InformedFlaw: Metal Man is said to be weak to the Mega Buster due to a flaw in his design. In the Difficult/original mode of ''2'', he only takes one bar of damage from the weapon.
* NoMouth: Metal Man has a [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime/Soundwave-ish]] mouthplate over his face.
* NoSell: The Air Shooter, Bubble Lead and Leaf Shield don't faze him at all.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: His portrait and official artwork. The cartoon takes this UpToEleven by stylising them into blank red triangular eyes.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Originally was this to Cut Man, until DivergentCharacterEvolution took helm.
* WarmUpBoss: He's a fairly easy boss with a simple pattern. It doesn't help that his weapon is also the best in the game.
* WeaksauceWeakness: He's (in)famously weak to his own weapon.

[[folder:[=DWN.010=] Air Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/10_-_air_man_9413.jpg]]

A Robot Master that attacks using tornadoes created by his Air Shooter. Air Man has a giant propeller in his chassis that can create powerful gusts of wind. While he has good character, he's also an egotist who can talk about himself for long periods of time. He has a unique "headless torso" design that future Robot Masters would adopt.

->'''Weapon''': ''Air Shooter''
->'''Weakness''': ''Leaf Shield'' ([=MM2=], [=MMII=]), ''Magnet Missile'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Spark Shock'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Super Arm'' (MMPF)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Terry Klassen'' (Animated series), ''Jin Yamanoi'' (MMPF), ''Nobuyuki Furuta'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman)

----
* ArmCannon: His entire left arm acts as his Air Shooter and looks more robotic than his right.
* BlowYouAway: He's the first Robot Master associated with wind. He can blow you to the wall, create a barrage of small tornadoes (which he blows towards you), and even create full-on typhoons.
* {{Cephalothorax}}: His "face" is his entire body. Does that mean the fan is his maw?
* DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud: His Air Shooter, in all games where he appears. As long as don't directly touch the ground-traveling tornado/horizontal tornado stream/swarm of flying mini tornados, you won't be harmed (for that matter, attacks will harmlessly bounce off them).
* FlunkyBoss: In ''The Power Fighters'', he'll sometimes send a Delupipi (and their egg full of several tiny Copipis) to attack.
* ExtraOreDinary: Depending on when he's fought in ''The Power Fighters'', Air Man can suck junk towards him to use as a pseudo-Junk Shield when he TurnsRed.
* 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.
* NoSell: The Metal Blade, Air Shooter, Bubble Lead and Crash Bomber don't do anything to him.
* NotQuiteFlight: In ''The Power Fighters'', while his body is too heavy to fly, he can float horizontally. Humorously, he usually uses this to move while beiing so low to the ground he could likely walk.
* OrbitingParticleShield: Suprisingly enough, he steals pages from Junk Man and Dust Man's books in ''The Power Fighters'' to do this.
* UnblockableAttack: Unusually for this series, he sometimes spits out a series of tornadoes that are too close to be dodged. The Doc Robot using his battle programming in ''3'' is slightly easier to avoid thanks to the ability to slide.
* WeaksauceWeakness: ''To friggin' leaves'', of all things. Apparently, they clog up his air fan to jam it (and probably why Air Man's dislike is leaves).

[[folder:[=DWN.011=] Bubble Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/11_-_bubble_man_9139.jpg]]

A Robot Master designed for underwater combat, and the first humanoid robot on Earth designed for such a purpose. To this end, he is equipped wth an arm cannon and the Bubble Lead, which lets him shoot heavy bubbles that he can use for multiple purposes. Due to a design flaw, he can only move by jumping on land, but he makes up for this by being able to swim gracefully. Despite being terrible with cash, Bubble Man is always in high spirits.

->'''Weapon''': ''Bubble Lead''
->'''Weakness''': ''Metal Blade'' ([=MM2=]), ''Spark Shock'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Shadow Blade'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot], MMPF), ''Quick Boomerang'' (MMI)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Hekiru Shina'' (MMPF), ''Akio Suyama'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman)

----
* AdaptationalWimp: In the Archie comic, Mega Man one-shots him with the Leaf Shield in their first fight. In ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'', the Leaf Shield is totally ineffective on him.
* AdaptedOut: He never appeared in the Ruby-Spears cartoon, and alongside Flash Man is the only Robot Master from ''2'' to be ignored.
* AffablyEvil: He has a big heart and warm personality despite being a warrior of Dr. Wily.
* ArmCannon: Bubble Man uses one as an extra weapon alongside the Bubble Lead.
* BarrierWarrior: In ''The Power Fighters'', he can encase himself in a giant Bubble Lead as a shield.
* BeamSpam: His preferred tactic in battle is to shoot buster shots rapidly as he swims around, often while a few Bubble Lead shots are bouncing towards Mega Man.
* BubbleGun: He has a head-mounted one which he uses to fire the Bubble Lead.
* ButtMonkey: Dr. Wily can't help but laugh at his way of moving on land. He could fix it, [[{{Jerkass}} but he finds it too funny to do so]].
* ContinuityCameo: In the background of ''The Power Battle''[='=]s first Wily stage, Bubble Man can be seen in a glass case.
* FeedItWithFire: If the Bubble Lead is used on him, it completely heals him.
* FlunkyBoss: In ''The Power Fighters'', after he TurnsRed he summons four bubbles that contain crab robots (which may or may not be Claws from his ''Mega Man 2'' stage), which float to the ceiling of the arena. Said crabs will, in time, fall to help Bubble Man.
* HarpoonGun: ''Manga/MegaManMegaMix'' interprets his arm cannon as one.
* LogicalWeakness:
** The Metal Blades can easily pop him, as can the Quick Boomerang in ''Dr. Wily's Revenge'' and the Shadow Blade for his Doc Robot counterpart.
** The Spark Shock is effective against the Doc Robot using his program data. Water and electricity don't go well together.
* MakingASplash: The first aquatic Robot Master, he uses bubbles as his main weapon.
* NoSell: The Air Shooter, Atomic Fire and Leaf Shield don't do anything to him.
* SpikesOfDoom: They line the ceiling of his room to punish you if you jump too high. They're absent in his rematch in the Wily Castle and in the ''Dr. Wily's Revenge'' fight, making him even more easy.
* TrapMaster: He can blow larger Bubble Lead shots that trap the player in ''The Power Fighters''.
* UnderwaterBossBattle: He's the first Robot Master in the series to be fought underwater, and Mega Man has to be careful not to jump too high underwater, because of the SpikesOfDoom on the ceiling (his refight in the Wily Castle and ''Dr. Wily's Revenge'', however, lacks them entirely).

[[folder:[=DWN.012=] Quick Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/12_-_quick_man_9815.jpg]]

A lightweight Robot Master crafted from Elec Man's design template. Quick Man is able to move extremely fast, and is equipped with a launcher that rapidly fires razor-sharp Quick Boomerangs. Though early to rise, he's also restless, impulsive and arrogant. Naturally, he has an interest in racing, but as the first of Dr. Wily's would-be specialized Mega Man maulers, he holds just as much enthusiasm in taking down the Blue Bomber.

->'''Weapon''': ''Quick Boomerang''
->'''Weakness''': ''Time Stopper'' ([=MM2=], MMI), ''Crash Bomber'' ([=MM2=]), ''Gemini Laser'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Search Snake'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Air Shooter'' (MMPF)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Jim Byrnes'' (Animated series), ''Koji Tobe'' (MMPF), ''Creator/ShowtaroMorikubo'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman), ''Creator/NobuyukiHiyama'' (Battle & Chase)

----
* AdaptationalWimp: Quick Man is infamous for being very difficult in the games because of the fact his attacks are hard to dodge and he's constantly jumping at you. In the Ruby Spears Cartoon, he is a pushover who gets defeated by getting crushed by a statue and in his other appearances, doesn't really give anyone a hard time.
* ArmCannon: Quick Man, unusually for this series, has an arm-mounted Quick Boomerang launcher on his right arm (though ''Super Adventure Rockman'' shows he can have a more traditional arm-becomes-gun cannon).
* AscendedExtra: Though initially just another Robot Master (albeit one the designers gave a unique mugshot to so as to show his higher difficulty), various adaptations and side games tend to depict Quick Man with more focus and/or importance than the rest of the ''Mega Man 2'' Robot Masters.
* BattleBoomerang: His weapon is the Quick Boomerang, which ironically doesn't try to return to him in his boss fight, but instead homes in on Mega Man.
* BloodKnight: His main purpose was to kill Mega Man, and while that's more or less true for any Robot Master built by Dr. Wily, Quick Man [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou expresses that desire the most]].
* BootstrappedLeitmotif: He becomes associated with the generic boss theme instead of his own theme in ''The Power Fighters''.
* ContinuityCameo:
** He appears in ''7''[='=]s Robot Museum, far in the background. Thanks to how backgrounds are designed, however, he appears multiple times.
** ''8''[='=]s FullMotionVideo intro has him battling Mega Man as ''VideoGame/MegaMan2''[='=]s representative.
* {{Expy}}: More subtle than others, but he takes elements of Cut Man and Elec Man.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Quick Man's mugshot in ''2'' has his head boomerang poking out from his frame. The developers gave him this unique trait to display his higher difficulty compared to the other seven bosses.
* FragileSpeedster: He's very agile, but his resistance against weapons isn't great. The Mega Buster does two points of damage to him (four on Normal), and what weapons affect him tend to do a number on his health (in particular the Crash Bomber and Air Shooter).
* LightningBruiser:
** He becomes this in ''The Wily Wars'', where the Mega Buster only does one point of damage, making him more difficult to fight.
** The Doc Robot copying his battle programming in ''3'' has much more resistance against attacks than he does ''while'' being every bit as fast, making it much more frustrating to fight.
* LogicalWeakness: Being a robot who runs fast, it stands to reason that he wouldn't like being stopped in his tracks involuntarily.
* InASingleBound: He jumps very high and very often.
* NoSell: The Metal Blade, Bubble Lead, Quick Boomerang, and Leaf Shield won't lay a scratch on this speedster at all. Interestingly, he has a unique sprite where he visibly stops what he's doing to block it, something no other Robot Master in ''2'' does.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Quick Man desires to be the Robot Master that finally destroys Mega Man, to the point where in the Archie comic's version of ''2'', he grows impatient at having to wait his turn and even defeats Flash Man just so he can finally get his chance to fight Mega Man.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Subverted, as the Quick Boomerang is really more like a homing missile when he uses it. Played straght when Mega Man uses it, as it flies out and curves back just as quickly.
* TheRival:
** During production of ''2'', the staff had this role in mind for him, which is why on the stage select screen he's the only one who grins and the only one who pokes out of his box (this trait was, however, removed for the ''Wily Wars'' version). The Archie comic adaptation ran with this concept, with Quick Man tormenting Mega Man several times before they actually fight.
** In ''Battle and Chase,'' he becomes a friendly rival to Turbo Man if he wins the Grand Prix.
* SuperSpeed: Just look at his name.
* TakingTheBullet: In ''Super Adventure Rockman'', he steps in front of a Shadow Blade thrown at Mega Man, ''saving him'', after Mega Man convinces him that Ra Moon is a far greater threat to the world than Wily thinks.
* TimeMaster: In ''Manga/MegaManMegamix'', he can speed up even further by subtly altering time in the immediate area.
* TooFastToStop: [[RequiredSecondaryPowers He outruns even his own vision]], which is why he's constantly running into walls.
* TurnsRed: He can do this in ''The Power Fighters'' depending on how late he's fought. He begins to synchronize throwing delayed Quick Boomerangs while charging at the player.

[[folder:[=DWN.013=] Crash Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/13_-_crash_man_9647.jpg]]

A Robot Master armed with drill-tipped time bombs and a body that can resist explosions. Based on the designs of Bomb Man and Guts Man, he combines the destructiveness of the former and the toughness of the latter. He's very clumsy with his hands (or lack thereof), but is simple and obedient, if prone to erratic mood swings that make him hard to control.

->'''Weapon''': ''Crash Bomber''
->'''Weakness''': ''Air Shooter'' ([=MM2=], [=MMII=]), ''Hard Knuckle'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Top Spin'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Rolling Cutter'' (MMPB)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Terry Klassen'' (Animated series), ''Koji Tobe'' (MMPB), ''Megumi Tano'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman)

----
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Crash Man doesn't have hands, but instead drills which his Crash Bombs are affixed to.
* CounterAttack: He throws a Crash Bomb down if Mega Man fires. The Doc Robot copying his battle data in ''3'' has more intuition, however, and will occasionally fire a Crash Bomb on its own accord.
* DumbMuscle: Crash Man's hardly an idiot, but he is simple-minded; Wily points at something he wants blown up, Crash Man blows it up.
* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod states that he was constructed by using Guts Man and Bomb Man.
* InASingleBound: He can jump really high, due to being made out of very light materials.
* TheKlutz: Crash Man is described as being clumsy. You can hardly blame him for this, since he has no hands (except in ''Manga/MegaManMegamix'').
* LightningBruiser: Crash Man is fast and agile, dishes out powerful explosions and is tough enough to withstand them.
* LongRangeFighter: Crash Man tries to get far enough away from Mega Man before firing. If he stays close and doesn't shoot, however, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An5DaTHXxwM he won't fight back]].
* MadBomber: While usually docile, he's prone to mood swings that can make him very violent. And given how he uses bombs as his weapon...
* MoodSwinger: Crash Man is usually docile and obedient, but he can very quickly turn angry, violent and destructive.
* NonIndicativeName: Crash Man doesn't do a whole lot of colliding into things.
* NoSell: The Metal Blade, his own weapon, and the Leaf Shield won't do anything to crash this guy's party.
* 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 Guts Man, ''none'' of these names have anything but an esoteric connection to his powers or appearance. Romanized as "Clashman" in the Japanese version and ''VideoGame/MegaManII'', and "Crash Man" in the English NES release and ''The Power Battle''.
* StuffBlowingUp: Really likes to throw a bunch of bombs. Said bombs even explode multiple times.
* SuperToughness: Being partially based on Guts Man, he has a strong body that protects him from explosions. It protects him so well, in fact, most explosions hardly even faze him.
* ThisIsADrill: His Crash Bombs are drill-tipped, and said drills poke out of his arms instead of hands.
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: He uses the Crash Bomber to shoot time bombs that release several explosions on detonation.
* TimeBomb: The Crash Bomber explodes after a small delay (though it's much shorter for him than for Mega Man). Some enemies, however, can make a Crash Bomb explode on contact.
* TrapMaster: While smacking a Crash Bomb directly into something is effective, Mega Man generally gets more efficient use from them by laying it so it detonates as an enemy walks into the explosions (receiving multiple hits at the same time). This tactic works well on Flash Man and Wood Man.
* WeaksauceWeakness: For a Robot Master who can tank explosions without even getting a scratch, gusts of wind shouldn't be nearly as effective on him as they are. In ''VideoGame/MegaManII'', however, he's able to tank them ''much better'' (as in, every shot must hit if one is to beat him with it).

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/14_-_flash_man_7599.jpg]]

A Robot Master designed to control time itself. To this end, he can stop time around him for brief periods and attack with a rapid-fire arm cannon. While he's kind to his subordinates, he's also prone to whining and abusing his power for personal enjoyment. As an aside, [[BaldOfEvil you'd be wise not to tune in to a wig commercial while he's around]].

->'''Weapon''': ''Time Stopper''
->'''Weakness''': ''Metal Blade'' ([=MM2=]), ''Crash Bomber'' ([=MM2=]), ''Needle Cannon'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Gemini Laser'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Ice Slasher'' (MMI), ''Atomic Fire'' (MMI)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Ken'ichi Ono'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman)

----
* AdaptedOut: He never appeared in the Ruby-Spears cartoon. In addition, he was the only Robot Master from ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'' to be ignored in the ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' episode, "The Big Game".
* ArmCannon: He uses one with rapid-fire capabilities.
* BaldOfEvil: Somewhat unusually for a Robot Master, Flash Man is canonically bald. And he hates wig commercials, too!
* BeamSpam: After using the Time Stopper, Flash Man attacks anything in front of him with a stream of shots from his arm cannon.
* BenevolentBoss: It's said that he's nice to the reprogrammed robots he's made the master of.
* GrumpyBear: He's prone to grouching and complaining about things.
* {{Irony}}: Though the Quick Boomerang does no damage at all to him, he's defeated in no less than [[Manga/MegaManMegamix two]] [[ComicBook/MegaMan adaptations]] by it.
* LightIsNotGood: He activates his Time Stopper by flashing brightly. Being a Wily Number, he often uses this power for his master's schemes, or even just for his own pleasure.
* MundaneUtility: Flash Man often uses his powers for his own benefit, such as staying in baths for longer periods.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Treats his subordinates with kindness. However, he treats his equals rather poorly.
* NoSell: The Air Shooter, Quick Boomerang and Leaf Shield don't do anything at all.
* StoryBreakerPower: Given how he's able to ''stop time itself'' (if only for small periods), it's a wonder Dr. Wily never uses Flash Man more often, nor has he attempted to create a Robot Master with an upgraded version of his technology.
* TimeMaster: Dr. Wily built him to have control over time.
* TimeStandsStill: Flash Man's Time Stopper allows him to do just that. However, it only lasts for small periods of time.
* VillainTeleportation: While he doesn't actually have this ability, his Time Stopper allows him to give off the impression that he does to everyone else.

[[folder:[=DWN.015=] Heat Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/15_-_heat_man_527.jpg]]

The gamers didn't even need to wait for introduction of a second [[PlayingWithFire fire-based Robot Master]]. This one, while having a silly-looking Zippo lighter design, is more powerful than ''even Fire Man'': Heat Man is able to use his nuclear-powered Atomic Fire to reach temperatures of up to ''12,000 degrees Celcius'', charge at foes with his Bodily Crash attack, and even protect himself with his lid (which has a habit of closing unintentionally). Heat Man is perfectly content to work at his own pace, even if he's lacking in enthusiasm half the time.

->'''Weapon''': ''Atomic Fire''
->'''Weakness''': ''Bubble Lead'' ([=MM2=], [=MMI=], [=MMPF=]), ''Shadow Blade'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Top Spin'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Ice Slasher'' (MMPB)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Ian James Corlett'' (Animated series), ''Hekiru Shina'' (Arcade), ''Creator/ShowtaroMorikubo'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman)

----
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: A fire-based Robot Master that looks like a cigarette lighter.
* ChargedAttack: Though he doesn't use the Atomic Fire for this purpose, Mega Man's version of the weapon can be charged up to different levels of strength.
* ContinuityCameo: He's on display in the Robot Museum in ''7''.
* DashAttack: Heat Man uses the Bodily Crash to charge straight towards enemies while covered in fire, dealing them a lot of damage.
* FeedItWithFire: Don't use the Crash Bomber or Atomic Fire on him if you don't want to heal him. Don't even ''think'' of using the Crash Bomber on him while he's using the Bodily Crash, either.
* {{Fireballs}}: He often uses his Atomic Fire to throw fireballs. Said fireballs can create pillars of flame or crawl towards foes.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: He's said to be the only Robot Master that smokes (and indeed, an unused set of sprites for ''The Power Battle'' depicts him smoking a cigarette). It helps that he's shaped like a [[AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance cigarette lighter]].
* ILoveNuclearPower: The source of his heightened power over Fire Man is his nuclear-powered core, hence the ability Atomic Fire.
* InfernalRetaliation: His signature attack, the Bodily Crash. He wreaths himself in fire to charge at you, which only occurs when Mega Man hits him, causing him to blow his lid, then close it.
* LogicalWeakness: He's weak to the Bubble Lead, a water-based weapon.
* NoSell: The Leaf Shield won't work against him.
* PlayingWithFire: He's a fire-based Robot Master. Not just that, but he uses ''nuclear'' fire.
* PowerLimiter: Though he remains unaware of it, Heat Man has a dial on his back that regulates the power of his flames.
* TurnsRed: ''The Power Fighters'', he starts to use his InfernalRetaliation attack on command and twice in a row, and will start covering his charge by throwing Atomic Fire shots beforehand. In addition, he gains an attack where he simply throws two huge fireballs in both directions.
* WreathedInFlames: Heat Man can set himself on fire after being damaged. This also renders him invincible and precedes him using his Bodily Crash.

[[folder:[=DWN.016=] Wood Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/16_-_wood_man_433.jpg]]

One of Dr. Wily's favorite Robot Masters, Wood Man is a kind and caring NatureLover, with a love for hiking. He's entirely made of wood (albeit coated in a thin layer of metal for protection), even down to his internal mechanisms. Because of this, he has great physical strength and resistance to physical blows, in addition to his Leaf Shield, which works by creating leaf-shaped projectiles from energy and using electromagnetism to move them around and send them flying towards foes.

->'''Weapon''': ''Leaf Shield''
->'''Weakness''': ''Atomic Fire'' ([=MM2=], MMPB), ''Air Shooter'' ([=MM2=]), ''Needle Cannon'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Search Snake'' ([=MM3=] [Doc Robot]), ''Metal Blade'' ([=MMII=]), ''Super Arm'' (MMPB), ''Flame Sword'' ([=MM8 (Saturn Version Only)=]), ''Triple Blade'' ([=MM10=] [Weapons Archive])

->'''Voiced by''': ''Creator/RichardNewman'' ([[WesternAnimation/MegaMan Animated series]]), ''Koji Tobe'' (MMPF), ''Creator/TakashiNagasako'' ([=MM8=], JP), ''Matthew Meersbergen'' ([=MM8=], EN), ''Akimasa Ohmori'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman)

----
* BambooTechnology: ''Everything'' about him is made of hinoki cypress, even his internal components. The only thing that isn't made of wood is a thin coating of metal he has for protection.
* BarrierWarrior: He primarily uses the Leaf Shield to protect himself, though he can also send it flying at an opponent and send leaves up into the air to rain down on them.
* ContinuityCameo: When the Weapons Archive boss in ''10'' uses the Leaf Shield, the monitor displays Wood Man's sprite.
** He also appears in the Mega Man 8 opening alongside other previous Robot Masters.
* FeedItWithFire: Using the Leaf Shield on him will completely heal him.
* GreenThumb: He's made of wood unlike the others, and his weapon is a shield of leaves (well, projectiles shaped like leaves).
* HoppingMachine: He prefers to jump towards Mega Man after firing the Leaf Shield off. Eventually, he'll pin him against a wall if Mega Man doesn't get past him.
* KryptoniteIsEverywhere: Although half the Robot Master weapons don't damage him at all, he is weak to the other half, giving him more weaknesses than any other Robot Master. Then again, he's made of wood and not tough metal.
* LogicalWeakness: Being made of wood, he doesn't handle cutter and fire-based weaponry well. Moreover, bombs built to destroy barriers work well against his own. His weakness to the 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.
* MightyGlacier: He's a strong Robot Master resistant to physical strikes, but is also very slow.
* MiniBoss: In the Saturn version of ''8'', he appears in the middle of Search Man's stage as one.
* NatureLover: Wood Man cares deeply for nature, and harming it is an easy way to get on his bad side.
* NoSell: The Bubble Lead and Quick Boomerang won't do anything to him.
* OrbitingParticleShield: The first of many in the series, his Leaf Shield creates leaf-shaped energy bits that levitate with electromagnetism.
* PetalPower: Well, more like leaf power, but the Leaf Shield works on the same principle.
* PrimalChestPound: He beats his chest when he activates the Leaf Shield to protect him.
* SuperStrength: He can throw some very mean punches, and thanks to his 100% wood construction, they hit hard.
* WeakToFire: Despite being coated in metal to increase his defense, Wood Man still has a great vulnerability to fire (as the Atomic Fire demonstrates).

!!''Mega Man 3'' Robot Masters
[[folder:General]]
* AsteroidMiners: All of them were created by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily to oversee mining operations on uncharted planets for energy elements needed to power [[HumongousMecha Gamma]], though Dr. Wily later modified them for combat.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: All of them are weak to their own weapons.
* 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.

[[folder:[=DWN.017=] Needle Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/17_-_needle_man_3859.jpg]]

A spiky Robot Master co-built by Dr. Wily and Dr. Light to work in energy mines. He's intellectual and a capable fighter (''and knitter''!), but he has a tendency to be sarcastic (and, ironically, has a fear of ''injections''). His main weapon is the Needle Cannon, which rapid-fires spikes that can pierce 10-inch rocks, though he also has his head-mounted Needle Hammer, which he can extend to stab foes at close range.

->'''Weapon''': ''Needle Cannon''
->'''Weakness''': ''Gemini Laser'' ([=MM3=]), ''Top Spin'', ''Air Shooter'' (MMII)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Gary Chalk'' (Animated series), ''Nobuyuki Furuta'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman)

----
* AmmunitionBackpack: His round body ''is'' the backpack.
* ArmCannon: Both of his arms are these, making him another Robot Master without any functional hands.
* BadassBandolier: In ''Megamix'', Needle Man has chains of Needle Cannon cartriges hanging out from his arm cannons.
* BuildingSwing: He can use his Needle Hammer in this fashion in ''Manga/MegaManMegamix''.
* {{Cephalothorax}}: Like Air Man, he has no head, just eyes in his chest below a giant spike pad located where his head should be.
* {{Expy}}: In-universe, he was built to have Air Man's [[{{Cephalothorax}} body type]] and uses an advanced form of Metal Man's battle programming.
* HoppingMachine: In battle, he only moves around by jumping.
* InASingleBound: He's able to jump very high for his height, and can keep himself airborne by shooting his Needle Cannon.
* IronicFear: A needle based robot with a fear of getting his shots. This might explain why he has one of the few stages to have no insta-kill spikes at all. However, he loves knitting and sewing.
* LightningBruiser: He's larger than Mega Man, yet can move fast, jump high, and take a beating.
* MoreDakka: The Needle Cannon is made to be a rapid-fire weapon.
* SpikeShooter: His Needle Cannon shoots pointed projectiles.
* SpikesOfDoom: While Needle Man's shots may not be instantly lethal like spikes normally are, they still hurt quite a bit, especially the Needle Hammer.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Not only does he shoot spike bullets, but he also has spikes atop his "head".
* UseYourHead: He can extend the needle-tipped top of his head to spear Mega Man.

[[folder:[=DWN.018=] Magnet Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/18_-_magnet_man_2732.jpg]]

A magnetic Robot Master co-built by Dr. Wily and Dr. Light. He wields the Magnet Missile, which lets him shoot horseshoe magnet-shaped missiles that attract to any enemy. He can also use a powerful magnetic force to drag metallic objects closer to himself. A skilled tactician and leader, even if he lacks direction, Magnet Man is always thinking about his health and thus prefers massages and magnetic therapy.

->'''Weapon''': ''Magnet Missile''
->'''Weakness''': ''Spark Shock'' ([=MM3=]), ''Shadow Blade'' ([=MM3=]), ''Needle Cannon'' (MMII), ''Dust Crusher'' (MMPB)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Hekiru Shina'' (MMPB), ''Akimasa Ohmori'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman)

----
* ArmCannon: His right arm has a Magnet Missile launcher, though ''VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman'' shows he can turn it into a traditional buster as well.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: He has a giant horseshoe magnet on his head and is colored red with small bits of white. Fitting for a giant humanoid magnet.
* CeilingCling: Magnet Man can attract himself to a ceiling to evade Mega Man. Sometimes, he even sleeps while hanging this way.
* DeflectorShield: He can create one around himself with his magnetism, completely blocking any attack.
* GlassCannon: While his magnetic powers make him stronger than your average robot, he takes above-average damage from the Mega Buster, has two weaknesses (both of which are equally crippling), and he lacks resistance against most other weapons.
* GRatedDrug: In the comics, as well as his character card from ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass,'' his magnetic blasts help him relieve stress.
* HollywoodMagnetism: Magnet Man's powers affect all robots, even those not made of magnetic materials like Mega Man (whose armor is made of ceratanium, which contains titanium -- a non-magnetic metal). In addition, while Magnet Man tries to pull Mega Man towards him, his pull doesn't get weaker with distance like real magnets, and he never thinks to use this force to fly at Mega Man, instead remaining stationary. And of course, there's the fact that [[SelectiveMagnetism he doesn't crush his metallic arenas around himself when using his strong powers...]]
* HomingProjectile: His Magnet Missile shoots forward until it senses an enemy vertically, then changes course to hit them.
* HoppingMachine: He notably ''never'' walks normally in any of his appearances- he only jumps to move around.
* LogicalWeakness: The Spark Shock, since electricity disrupts his magnetic forces (or, perhaps, increases them to a level that damages himself in the process).
* MemeticMutation: Who can forget this line from Ruby-Spears animated series?
-->'''Magnet Man''' (as Mega Man uses PowerCopying on him): HE'S GETTING MY POWERS!!!
* NoSenseOfDirection: Despite his strong leaddership skills, he suffers from this. Makes sense, since traditional compasses can be disoriented or thrown off by proximity to magnets.
* PowerIncontinence: His magnetic field is so strong that he can accidentally wipe floppy disks just by being near them.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Averted, he isn't immune to his own magnetic interference, so he gets a headache whenever he uses his powers. It also means he has to steer clear of floppy disks or other magnetic-based storage media.
* {{Roboteching}}: A Magnet Missile flies out straight ahead, but if it senses a target above or below it, it'll swerve ninety degrees up or down.
* TeleportSpam: Should he [[TurnsRed turn red]] in ''The Power Battle'', he'll constantly and rapidly teleport in between the two sides of the screen while activating his magnetism, causing the the direction the player is pulled to rapidly change.
* WarmUpBoss: Being a GlassCannon who takes more damage from the Mega Buster than most other bosses and has easy to avoid attacks, Magnet Man is an easy Robot Master to take out first.

[[folder:[=DWN.019=] Gemini Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/19_-_gemini_man_4096.jpg]]

An elegant but narcissistic, conceited and overconfident Robot Master co-built by Dr. Wily and Dr. Light. He has the power to create holographic copies of himself, which he uses to assist him in battle (or to admire). In addition, he is armed with the Gemini Laser, a weapon [[ReflectingLaser that can reflect off of walls]] to strike a foe multiple times.

->'''Weapon''': ''Gemini Laser''
->'''Weakness''': ''Search Snake'' ([=MM3=]), ''Magnet Missile'' ([=MMII, MMPB=]), ''Dust Crusher'' ([=MMPB=]), ''Plant Barrier'' ([=MMPB=]), ''Pharaoh Wave'' ([=MMPF=]), ''Wheel Cutter'' ([=MM10=] [Weapons Archive])

->'''Voiced by''': ''Tony Sampson'' (Animated series), ''Koji Tobe'' (Arcade), ''Jun'ichi Sugawara'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman)

----
* ContinuityCameo: His sprite is displayed when the Weapons Archive uses the Gemini Laser in ''10'', acting as the representative of ''3''.
* CounterAttack: While he has a copy out, he'll only shoot his standard blaster if the player shoots first -- otherwise, he will merely run and jump through his room in a counterclockwise fashion.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: In ''VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman'', he serves as the final boss of the second episode.
* DoppelgangerAttack: He creates a copy of himself that will aid him for the first half of the battle.
* DualBoss: Produces a hard light hologram for the first half of the battle.
* TheFightingNarcissist: He's extremely vain, having a love for mirrors and shiny, reflective objects. He'll even look at his own copies (admiring himself).
* FrickinLaserBeams: The Gemini Laser moves slower than light, despite being a laser. In fact, thanks to the limitations of the NES, using it in ''3'' is likely to slow the entire game down while it's onscreen!
* {{Hologram}}: Gemini Man's copies are holographic in nature.
* ImmuneToFlinching: When both Gemini Men are active, neither one will flinch from shots so as to not disturb their pattern.
* LogicalWeakness: Since one of the Gemini Men is a hologram, weapons that hit both at once or are capable of identifying the real one make him vulnerable.
* MeaningfulName: The Robot Master named after the constellation of the twins can create copies of himself, and has armor styled like a mirror.
* MesACrowd: He can create copies of himself. While he usually produces one copy, he can create several times more.
* ReflectingLaser: His Gemini Laser bounces off walls, giving it a chance to hit a target multiple times.
* TurnsRed: He does this in ''The Power Fighters'' depending on how late he's fought. When he does, he moves more quickly and uses his standard blaster in conjunction with the Gemini Laser.
* WeakToFire: The [[ThePowerOfTheSun Pharaoh Wave]] acts as his weakness in ''The Power Fighters''. Dr. Light even mentions it:
--> '''Dr. Light:''' To tell you the truth, Gemini Man is weak against heat.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He hates snakes, especially Search Snakes.

[[folder:[=DWN.020=] Hard Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20_-_hard_man_9187.jpg]]

A Robot Master co-built by Dr. Wily and Dr. Light with a 3-ton body made of Ceratanium. While this offers him immense strength and defense, his movement is sorely restricted. Thus he tends to be very lazy and prone to complaining. Like a sumo wrestler (a sport he himself enjoys), he's also honorable and prefers to fight his enemies on equal terms. His arms can fly towards targets as the Hard Knuckle, and with a rocket installed inside him he can jump high into the air and crash on foes using a technique termed the Body Press.

->'''Weapon''': ''Hard Knuckle''
->'''Weakness''': ''Magnet Missile'' ([=MM3=], MMII)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Terry Klassen'' (Animated series), ''Nobuyuki Furuta'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman)

----
* GroundPound: He uses the Body Press to turn around in mid-air and slam into the ground. This can freeze Mega Man even if he's in mid-air at the time, and despite this seeming like a quirk of ''3''[='=]s rushed development, it carries over into his fights in other games.
* HomingProjectile: His Hard Knuckles home in towards Mega Man -- once as he sends them out, then again as they curve back.
* InASingleBound: You wouldn't think it from such a heavy robot, but thanks to a compact rocket booster built into him, he can jump pretty high and far.
* LogicalWeakness: He's a large and bulky robot made out of an extremely dense metal. In a game where there are missiles that use magnetism to guide themselves towards targets.
* MightyGlacier: Hits hard, is highly resistant to attacks and impacts, but is very slow and cannot swim to save his life.
* NobleDemon: Even though he goes along with Wily's plans, he wishes to fight his opposition on equal terms. In the Archie comic's adaptation of ''3'', he even gives Mega Man an E-Tank to recharge himself before their fight.
* NoSell: The Mega Buster, Gemini Laser, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hard Knuckle]] and Magnet Missile are the only weapons that do damage to him instead of bouncing off of him.
* PlayerGuidedMissile: The Hard Knuckle acts as this -- holding up or down will make a fired punch fly up or down slightly as it rockets ahead.
* TheQuietOne: He's known to be tight-lipped and of few words.
* RocketPunch: The Hard Knuckle acts as this, firing off his forearms. However, they do come back to him after flying out a certain distance (though they don't actually reattach to his sprite). While Mega Man's version doesn't have a retrieval mechanism, he does spontaneously get a replacement arm soon after firing it.
* TheSlacker: He lazes about when not working, due to how heavy his body is and the amount of effort he has to put into moving on a day to day basis.
* SuperNotDrowningSkills: Thanks to being so heavy, he cannot swim. He just walks.
* SuperStrength: One of the perks of having a three ton ceratanium body? You hit like a truck.
* SuperToughness: Another perk of having a three ton ceratanium body? You're very hard to damage and take down.
* UnfortunateNames: While it's supposed to be a reference to his heavy, bulky and tough build, those wth a dirty mind may struggle to say his name with a straight face.
* {{Unobtainium}}: His entire body is made out of ceratanium (that is, ceramic titanium). It gives him his strength, but is also why he's so heavy.

[[folder:[=DWN.021=] Top Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/21_-_top_man_533.jpg]]

Yet another Robot Master co-built by Dr. Wily and Dr. Light. Top Man is equipped wth an auto-balance system, allowing him to spin his body at rapid speeds, which he uses as an attack called the Top Spin to crash into and damage targets. While it's active, a shield system deflects all incoming attacks. He can also generate tops from his head, which makes him popular on New Year's. A smooth talker, Top Man is capable of making necessary arrangements, but he has a habit of pushing his luck. His internal mechanisms can also be damaged should he spin for too long. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also, he has zero tolerance for bad dancers]].

->'''Weapon''': ''Top Spin''
->'''Weakness''': ''Hard Knuckle'' ([=MM3=], MMII)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Jim Byrnes'' (Animated series), ''Megumi Tano'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman)

----
* AdaptationalBadass: He's one of the easiest Robot Masters in ''3'' and has arguably the most ridiculous weapon in the series. In the Ruby-Spears cartoon, he was portrayed as a suave womanizer with a BadassBaritone who was able to flatter Roll and - while at it - ''defeat Mega Man singlehandedly''. He's also a ''much more dangerous'' boss in ''VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman''.
* ArmCannon: ''VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman'' has him using one to fire BattleTops as opposed to pulling them out of his head.
* BattleTops: Not only can he rotate at hiigh speeds like a human spinning top, but he can also throw tops in the air that [[HomingProjectile home in on targets]].
* DanceBattler: Him using the Top Spin results in him twirling around to attack.
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: He's based on a spinning top, and his primary method of attacking is to spin into enemies.
* FragileSpeedster: He takes double damage from the Mega Buster and is only outdone in fraility by Magnet Man, but he makes up for it by being invincible half the time. He is also the fastest moving Robot Master in ''3'' thanks to the Top Spin also being his main form of movement; he is only exceeded by Shadow Man's sliding attack.
* HomingProjectile: His head-mounted tops are able to move directly towards Mega Man.
* RollerbladeGood: His feet have wheels built into them that allow him to move around quickly.
* SpinToDeflectStuff: He's invincible when spinning, though some sources claim that this is because of a shield system in place, rather than the Top Spin itself deflecting blows.
* WarmUpBoss: Top Man is among the easiest Robot Masters in the series, and a good starting point for new players.

[[folder:[=DWN.022=] Snake Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/22_-_snake_man_9993.jpg]]

A Robot Master designed for investigating narrow areas and uncharted topography. Built with a lightweight and nimble frame, Snake Man is an intelligent, tenacious and cunning hunter, fond of cornering his prey like his namesake motif. His Search Snakes - small snake-like missiles that crawl along floors and walls using an improved version of the Bubble Lead's search program - aid him in this task very well. He has a liking towards Toad Man, to which the froggy Robot Master does not reciprocate (for obvious reasons).

->'''Weapon''': ''Search Snake''
->'''Weakness''': ''Needle Cannon'' ([=MM3=]), ''Spark Shock'' (MMIII)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Ian James Corlett'' (Animated series), ''Jun'ichi Sugawara'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman)

----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Depending on how players interpret his ''& Bass'' CD information, his 'liking' of Toad Man can either be this or him [[ImAHumanitarian actually wanting to eat the other robot]].
* AnimalJingoism: He has an liking towards Toad Man, who in turn dislikes him. In addition, he's known to hate slugs.
* ArmCannon: As with most Robot Masters, he has one on his left arm, from which he fires his Search Snakes.
* CombatPragmatist: He prefers to force his opponent into a corner and render them helpless, which puts him at odds against the more fair-minded Hard Man.
* ContinuityCameo:
** Snake Man is one of the many Robot Masters on display at the Robot Museum in ''VideoGame/MegaMan7''.
** He appears in ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''[='=]s animated intro, representing ''VideoGame/MegaMan3''[='=]s representative in the montage of Mega Man facing past Robot Masters.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: The first animal-based Robot Master in the series is a tenacious hunter who corners his prey and doesn't play fair.
* SnakesAreSinister: Snake Man is prudent, tenacious, and a loyal Dr. Wily robot.
* StalkerWithACrush: He's one towards Toad Man.
* UnflinchingWalk: Although most Robot Masters have CollisionDamage normally, the majority of Snake Man's strategy is simply pacing back and forth, trying to run into Mega Man. Extraneous material attribute this to incredible tenacity.
* WallCrawl: The Search Snake crawls along floors and up walls.
* WarmUpBoss: Due to his pattern, he's one of the easiest bosses in ''3''. He functions as this for the other "weakness group" (Snake Man -> Gemini Man -> Needle Man -> Snake Man) which the other Robot Masters aren't a part of.

[[folder:[=DWN.023=] Spark Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/23_-_spark_man_2713.jpg]]

A Robot Master meant for charging electricity, but was modified for combat. Spark Man can generate twice as much electricity as Elec Man, but unlke his predecessor, he's scatterbrained (and as such, he can't focus his power as lethally). Thoughtful and friendly, he recharges his compatriots often, but gets depressed when left alone for a long time. He can use his electricity in battle as the Spark Shock, which can paralyse a foe by shorting their circuits.

->'''Weapon''': ''Spark Shock''
->'''Weakness''': ''Shadow Blade'' ([=MM3=], MMIII)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Akimasa Ohmori'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman)

----
* AffablyEvil: Despite serving Wily's schemes, Spark Man is a nice and friendly guy to anyone who isn't Mega Man.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: An electrical Robot Master designed for generating energy who looks like a sparkplug on legs with two giant electrodes in place of hands.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: He's one of several Robot Masters who lack hands; instead, he has two large spike-like electrodes.
* CombatMedic: Spark Man often recharges his friends or gives them a power boost, and he's no slouch in combat himself.
* ContinuityCameo: He makes a brief appearance in ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''[='=]s animated intro alongside other past Robot Masters.
* TheDitz: Based on his ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass'' CD information, Spark Man is "forgetful", scatterbrained, and described as having trouble focusing his powers.
* HatesBeingAlone: Despite his thoughtful and friendly attitude around friends, if he's left in solitude for long periods, he grows depressive.
* HoppingMachine: In his fight, Spark Man always moves by jumping around his room, occasionly stopping to use the Spark Shock.
* ShockAndAwe: The Spark Shock shoots sparks of electricity that damage Mega Man and (once he copies it) temporarily freezees enemies.
* SpreadShot: He can fire an eight-way burst of electrical sparks.
* SuperiorSuccessor: He can generate twice the amount of electricity that Elec Man can, though Elec Man has a better focus on his power than the scattershot Spark Man.

[[folder:[=DWN.024=] Shadow Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/24_-_shadow_man_8544.jpg]]

Very little information is known about the mysterious Shadow Man, though rumors say that he was once a robot of unearthly origin, whom Wily discovered and remodeled into an robot based on a ninja. In addition to his ninjitsu magic, he is armed with the Shadow Blade - a weapon coated in a deadly liquid that afflicts robots' mechanisms. Flexible and skilled in the art of stealth, Shadow Man tends to be a shallow thinker with a dislike of obvious and boring traps.

->'''Weapon''': ''Shadow Blade''
->'''Weakness''': ''Top Spin'' ([=MM3=]), ''Gemini Laser'' (MMIII), ''Centaur Arrow'' (MMPF)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Terry Klassen'' (Animated series), ''Jin Yamanoi'' (MMPF), ''Kōsuke Okano'' (VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman), ''Creator/RyotaroOkiayu'' (Battle & Chase)

----
* AdaptationDistillation: In Archie Comics, Shadow Man was known as a member of the special unit called Kuiper Droids which served Stardroids.
* ArmCannon: Though he's traditionally never used one, ''Super Adventure Rockman'' had him turn his arm into one to kill Mega Man should the player lose (oh, [[PointOfNoContinues and they don't get to continue should this happen]]).
* BattleBoomerang: Interestingly, while his Shadow Blades don't return to him, the version copied by Mega Man does.
* {{Caltrops}}: He can produce four makabishis in ''The Power Fighters'' when he TurnsRed.
* CompositeCharacter: In ''Rockman xover'', he is fused with Elec Man for a level to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the series, becoming Electric Shadow Man, with Shadow Man's sprite and Elec Man's palette. However, the fused robot proves to be [[PowerIncontinence unable to handle their combined power.]]
* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: Averted; the Shadow Blade can be thrown in six directions; one of which being diagonally up. During his boss fight, he even throws a diagonal Shadow Blade in addition to a horizontal one. Mega Man's use of it basically amounts to a nerfed, boomeranging version of the omnidirectional Metal Blades.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He's the final boss of ''VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman''[='=]s first episode.
* FuumaShuriken: His Shadow Blade is a very large shuriken.
* KilledOffForReal: He suffers this in ''VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman'', where after his fight, he explodes, with Wood Man being unable to repair him. Even by the end, when all the Robot Masters return, Shadow Man is absent, suggesting his integrated circuit was irreparably damaged. Of course, he continues to appear in other games, and the game's canonicity is dubious...
* LightningBruiser: Very fast, powerful, and is overall more durable than Quick Man (not counting his main weakness).
* MysteriousPast: Very little data exists on Shadow Man, and no-one is quite sure of who he is or where he came from. His body is made of a material not found on Earth, as is the liquid coating his Shadow Blades, leading to rumours that he was the product of an ancient alien civilization.
* {{Ninja}}: He's based upon one.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A (possibly) extraterrestrial ninja robot.
* PowerUpMount: In ''The Power Fighters'', he can summon a giant firebreathing frog robot to ride on should he [[TurnsRed turn red]].
* SlideAttack: To establish Shadow Man as a rival to Mega Man, he knows how to slide in the exact same manner Mega Man can (only he can slide an even greater distance if Mega Man's far from him). He only uses it after a jump, though, and can't use it twice in a row.
* SoleSurvivor: In the Archie comic, he's the last of Dr. Wily's Robot Masters who remain loyal to him following the events of ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'' (the rest either [[HeelFaceTurn turning over a new leaf]] or being deactivated).
* TookALevelInBadass: While Shadow Man was no slouch in ''3'', ''The Power Fighters'' and ''Super Adventure Rockman'' let him display a wide array of ninjitsu techniques, such as setting up decoys, blocking shots by replacing himself with a log, and even summoning a giant frog robot to ride around on.
* TurnsRed: If he's a Robot Master fought later than the others in ''The Power Fighters'', he'll summon a giant frog robot to ride on at half health.
* WeaksauceWeakness: A fast, agile and deadly ninja robot turns out to be weak to the often mocked Top Spin.

!!''Mega Man 4'' Robot Masters
[[folder:General]]
* AllThereInTheManual: Even though Dr. Cossack created them, they are listed as part of the DWN series. The reason for this is explained in [[http://kobun20.interordi.com/2010/07/19/dr-im-always-right-breaks-it-down/ a Japanese Q&A]] -- Dr. Wily significantly remodeled them for combat against Mega Man.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Since this group is considered part of the Wily Numbers, Capcom expects you already know Wily's behind ''VideoGame/MegaMan4''.
* 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.

[[folder:[=DWN.025=] Bright Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/25_-_bright_man_8606.jpg]]

A brilliant Robot Master, Bright Man was designed to explore dark areas before Wily modified him for battle. He can use his Flash Stopper to emit a ten million watt flash of light from his head, triggering a safety device in a robot's camera eyes that renders them unable to move, leaving them open to attack. Though he comes up with a lot of ideas and inventions, he often talks too much for everyone's liking.

->'''Weapon''': ''Flash Stopper''
->'''Weakness''': ''Rain Flush'' ([=MM4=], MMIV), ''Star Crash'' (GG)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Gary Chalk'' (Animated series)

----
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Bright Man uses flashes of light as a weapon. He sports a giant filament light bulb on his head and has what looks like a battery in his chest.
* BlindedByTheLight: His Flash Stopper invokes this on other robots, freezing them in place momentarily.
* CowerPower: In ''Megamix'', he survives Skull Man's attack on Cossack Labs by hiding until the right chance arises.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: In ''Manga/MegaManMegamix'', Bright Man is the only Cossack Bot during the second attack on Cossack's lab to be neither captured nor hurt. He might be goofy looking, but the dude's got some mad skills.
* HeroicSacrifice: When his feigned cowardice develops into actual cowardice in ''Megamix'', he atones for it by using his own body parts to repair his allied Robot Masters. Once Cossack is rescued, however, he gets better.
* KillItWithWater: His weakness is the Rain Flush. Well, at least it's a LogicalWeakness.
* LightEmUp: His Special Weapon creates a blast of light so powerful it causes other robots to momentarily seize up.
* IdeaBulb: A favorite joke of his, considering his design.
* InsufferableGenius: He is highly intelligent and an ideas man, but drives his colleagues to frustration or boredom by going on and on about his ideas.
* LogicalWeakness: Water (or in this case, acid rain) shorts out his bulb.
* MoralGuardians: The English translation of ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass'' oddly makes him out to be one, changing his dislike from neon light to "unmoral districts" (i.e. {{red light district}}s).
* PuzzleBoss: Defeating him without triggering the Flash Stopper in ''VideoGame/MegaMan4'' makes him this, since he uses it at specific levels of damage[[labelnote:*]](specifically, when he has sixteen, eight, or four bars of health left)[[/labelnote]] that must be skipped over (which can be done by exclusively using Charge Shots, or one uncharged shot and the Rain Flush). Note that [[GuideDangIt the game never tells you this]], and in ''VideoGame/MegaManIV'' he can use the Flash Stopper whenever he wants.
* TheSmartGuy: Apparently has a lot of ideas. Too many, in fact, since he goes on about them so much that it annoys the other robots.
* TimeStandsStill: While the Flash Stopper ''appears'' to do this, in reality it simply freezes all enemies (and some projectiles) in the area by triggering a safety device that locks their mechanisms up.
* UnblockableAttack: If Mega Man is frozen by the Flash Stopper and Bright Man decides to jump, he will unavoidably take a hit.

[[folder:[=DWN.026=] Toad Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/26_-_toad_man_2185.jpg]]

An agricultural robot built by Dr. Cossack that specializes in natural sciences. When he converted Toad Man into a combat robot, Dr. Wily mixed a strong acid into his Rain Flush, causing the rain it creates to become acidic. Befitting his motif, he can jump very high (and he enjoys the triple jump), but he is unfortunately tone-deaf, and he dislikes his comrade Snake Man (who has opposite feelings).

->'''Weapon''': ''Rain Flush''
->'''Weakness''': ''Drill Bomb'' ([=MM4=]), ''Ring Boomerang'' (MMIV), ''Napalm Bomb'' (MMIV), ''Water Wave'' (GG)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Terry Klassen'' (Animated series)

----
* AlwaysAccurateAttack: Being a weapon that summons rain, the Rain Flush is completely unblockable. Fortunately for the player, they can prevent Toad Man from being able to use it.
* AnimalJingoism: Has a minor rivalry with [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Snake Man]]. Snakes in real life eat toads.
* {{Cephalothorax}}: His 'head' is squished down to about the level of his shoulders. This is to place his false frog eyes at the level of what would be "normal".
* CompositeCharacter: In ''Rockman xover'', Toad Man gets upgraded fire powers in the 25th Anniversary bonus levels to become Fire Toad Man. While nominally fused with Fire Man, he gains the palette of Heat Man.
* DanceBattler: His method of using the Rain Flush has him perform a strange belly dance. This leaves him open to attack and therefore interruption.
* HollywoodAcid: While real acid rain is dangerous to the environment, the Rain Flush devastates metallic robots as soon as it hits.
* InASingleBound: Being based upon a frog, he can jump quite high.
* MakingASplash: While he's not themed around water like Dive Man is, he does use water in his attacks via the Rain Flush.
* MightyGlacier: His attack is unavoidable and covers a wide area, but takes very long to start.
* MultiDirectionalBarrage: His acidic Rain Flush, one unleashed, is unavoidable. However, it can be interrupted.
* ShownTheirWork:
** While it may seem strange that a toad robot can summon rain, in some cultures a toad is considered a sign of good rain.
** Toad Man is tone-deaf, much like how real amphibians have poor hearing (if they can even hear at all).
* UnblockableAttack: His Rain Flush, if he activates it. In Mega Man's hands, even [[InvincibleMinorMinion a Metall's helmet]] can't save it from destruction.
* WarmUpBoss: He's ''pathetically easy'' as he is unable to attack if he gets damaged when getting ready to use the Rain Flush. Not so much in the Game Gear installment as he jumps much faster and starts the dance to call upon Rain Flush randomly instead of after a set number of hops, while also giving the player less time to react and counterattack.
* WeatherControlMachine: He attacks by summoning rain. Before he was turned into a battle robot, he used his Rain Flush to help crops grow.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He dislikes Snake Man, but unfortunately for him, Snake Man likes him.

[[folder:[=DWN.027=] Drill Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/27_-_drill_man_8835.jpg]]

A robot created to dig holes at construction sites, Drill Man prefers to live his life to the fullest and not worry much about tomorrow. Thus, he often rushes jobs and never plans ahead (this could lead to dangerous results), but he works hard and even occasionally finds things such as a hot spring (for which he was awarded). His weapon of choice is the Drill Bomb - an explosive attached to a drill which pierces armor of his targets.

->'''Weapon''': ''Drill Bomb''
->'''Weakness''': ''Dive Missile''

->'''Voiced by''': ''Creator/ScottMcNeil'' (Animated series)

----
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Like Crash Man, Drill Man has (much larger) drills in place of hands.
* EverybodyHatesMathematics: He dislikes calculations. Ths is a major reason as to why he's seen as stupid, seeing as he's meant for construction.
* {{Expy}}: In design and concept, he looks an awful lot like Crash Man.
* FastTunnelling: He can dig underneath and through the ground to attack Mega Man from below.
* LeeroyJenkins: Drill Man disregards calculations and haphazardly digs wherever to get the job done quickly. Given how he was originally meant to be a construction robot, this often creates problems.
* LethallyStupid: He loves rush jobs and doesn't plan ahead when digging. His quote from ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass''?
-->''Oops, I damaged the gas pipe...''
* SpinToDeflectStuff: His Drill Bombs can knock any projectile out of the way, even Dive Missiles, his weakness!
* ThisIsADrill: Pretty obvious from his name; he uses drill-tipped explosives and has three massive drills made to grind through earth and rock on his body.
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: He uses the Drill Bomb to pierce through armor, then detonate the explosive.
* TrickBomb: The Drill Bomb can be remotely detonated in mid-flight, allowing the explosion to damage whatever the drill can't pierce.
* TunnelKing: Digs through the ground, and his stage is a giant tunnel network.
* UseYourHead: One tactic of his is digging underground and diving out under Mega Man, stabbing him with his head-mounted drill.

[[folder:[=DWN.028=] Pharaoh Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/28_-_pharaoh_man_7939.jpg]]

A Robot Master designed to explore dark pyramids using sensitive cameras, Pharaoh Man is styled like a pharaoh to ward off mysterious pyramid curses. In his conversion into a battle robot, his attack power was bolstered. He uses [[ThePowerOfTheSun solar energy]] to attack - be it as a sphere of energy known as the Pharaoh Shot, or a destructive wave as the Pharaoh Wave. While a charismatic leader with over a thousand Mummira followers, Pharaoh Man is rather timid and weak when near beautiful women.

->'''Weapons''': ''Pharaoh Shot'' ([=MM4=], MMIV), ''Pharaoh Wave'' (MMPF)
->'''Weakness''': ''Flash Stopper'' ([=MM4=], MMIV), ''Crystal Eye'' (MMIV), ''Quick Boomerang'' (MMPF)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Tony Sampson'' (Animated series), ''Takashi Nagasako'' (MMPF)

----
* AdaptationalBadass: While already a relatively dangerous boss in the game (if you don't cheat with spamming Flash Stopper on him, that is), he somehow became even ''more badass'' in his one (and only) appearance in the cheesy, pun-ridden Ruby-Spears series. [[OnlySaneMan He never did anything silly]], [[HypercompetentSidekick he had an aura of competence around him]], [[MegatonPunch he could shoot Mega Man all the way to the courtyard]]. And he manages to top it all off by [[TalkToTheFist punching Mega Man right into the fucking face]] ''after his weapon was stolen'', instead of opting to run away like many other Robot Masters would do.
* ArmCannon: He has one, though he doesn't seem to use it in ''4'' (the Pharaoh Shot being thrown instead).
* BadassBaritone: He has a deep voice in the Ruby-Spears cartoon, compared to most Robot Masters.
* BadassCape: His design in the Ruby-Spears series gives him a flowing red cape.
* BigEntrance: He enters a room in the cartoon by slamming open a double-door, complete with amplified slamming-sound, back-lighting and ominous music.
* BlindedByTheLight
* BreakoutCharacter: He's almost unanimously agreed to be Dr. Cossack's signature creation (his [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan Ruby-Spears portrayal]] probably helped a lot), to the point where the Archie Comics feature him as a main character in a few arcs, and he appears the most out of all the ''4'' Robot Masters.
* ChargedAttack: He can charge up solar energy to release it as the Pharaoh Wave.
* ContinuityCameo:
** He (or a possible copy) is on display in the Robot Museum in ''VideoGame/MegaMan7''.
** In ''The Power Battle'', Pharaoh Man is one of a few Robot Masters in storage in the background of the first Wily level.
** During ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''[='=]s animated Robot Master montage, Pharaoh Man appears as ''VideoGame/MegaMan4''[='=]s representative.
* CounterAttack: In ''The Power Fighters'', he does this if he protects himself with a giant eye and it is attacked.
* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: The Pharaoh Shot averts this, being throwable from any direction except straight up or down.
* {{Disco}}: His signature pose is reminiscent to the famous ''Film/SaturdayNightFever'' pose, and his theme music has a disco beat to it.
* KubrickStare: Not exactly, but the V-shaped part of the helmet gives this feeling. It makes him look more iintimidating.
* LightningBruiser: He's fast and hits hard.
* LogicalWeakness: Given how he was designed to explore dark pyramids, it would make sense that [[BlindedByTheLight bright flashes of light wouldn't be too kind to him]].
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: In ''The Power Fighters'', he gains the ability to summon an eye-shaped shield.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: His Pharaoh Shot and Pharaoh Wave both use solar energy, much like Mega Man's Mega Buster. The Pharaoh Shot in particular resembles a miniature sun.
* PowerFloats: Upon powering up in the arcade games, his attack pattern changes ''completely'': He starts levitating nearly out of reach and summoning Shade Man's robo-zombies.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Both the artwork, in-game protrait and the cartoon.
* RushmoreRefacement: His background in ''The Power Fighters'' includes some statues and the Sphinx bearing his face.
* StabTheSky: His signature pose is giving the sky [[GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger a finger stabbing]].
* TookALevelInBadass: Pharaoh Man was no pushover (unless Mega Man had the Flash Stopper), but ''The Power Fighters'' gives him all sorts of new powers, such as levitation, an eye shield, portals, and the ability to shoot the Pharaoh Wave in two directions at once.
* WeaksauceWeakness: He's the only Robot Master to be affected by the Flash Stopper, but it leaves him completely frozen and unable to move, allowing Mega Man to pump the guy full of solar energy while he can do nothing.

[[folder:[=DWN.029=] Ring Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/29_-_ring_man_7288.jpg]]

Unlike most of Dr. Cossack's Robot Masters which were remodeled into war machines, Ring Man was created specifically to defeat Mega Man. To this end, he uses the Ring Boomerang -- a weapon with high speed and the ability to penetrate foes. A clever strategist, he has an unfortunate tendency to be overconfident in his abilities. Incidentally, he's skilled at [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoits quoits]].

->'''Weapon''': ''Ring Boomerang''
->'''Weakness''': ''Pharaoh Shot'' ([=MM4=], MMIV), ''Charge Kick'' (MMIV), ''Solar Blaze'' ([=MM10=] [Weapons Archive])

->'''Voiced by''': ''Gary Chalk'' (Animated series)

----
* AdaptationalHeroism: ''Manga/MegaManMegamix'' depicts his original purpose as being a police officer fighting against robot crime (his Ring Boomerang being a non-lethal means of incapacitation), a far cry from the original games' combat-oriented design.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: The Ring Boomerang can fly straight through enemies, hitting them twice as it flies back. Even the Skull Barrier can't protect against it!
* BattleBoomerang: His RingsOfDeath fly back toward him after hitting their target.
* BloodKnight: Like Quick Man and the Mega Man Killers, he was strictly programmed and created to kill Mega Man.
* ChildHater: Downplayed, he doesn't like being around children. Ironic, seeing has his creator has a daughter.
* ContinuityCameo:
** When fighting Mash in ''VideoGame/MegaMan7''[='=]s Robot Museum, Ring Man can be seen on display in the background.
** The Weapons Archive in ''VideoGame/MegaMan10'' contains data for the Ring Boomerang; when using it, the monitor displays his sprite.
* DistaffCounterpart: He's unique in that his [[VideoGame/MegamanBattleNetwork NetNavi]] counterpart is female.
* GeniusBruiser: He's capable of fighting Mega Man and can come up with effective strategies to use against him.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: You wouldn't think giant rings would be effective weapons, but he proves you wrong.
* ItemCaddy: In ''VideoGame/MegaManIV'', the Ring Boomerang is able to grab items from far away and bring them to Mega Man.
* LightningBruiser: He's very quick and jumps a lot. His attacks can be difficult to dodge and they hit hard.
* LogicalWeakness: Since he uses metal rings, it stands to reason that [[ThePowerOfTheSun he doesn't like hot and firey minature suns being flung at him]]. It even applies to [[VideoGame/MegaMan10 robots using his weapon and battle data]].
* RingsOfDeath: He uses boomeranging rings that he can throw at any angle, and they pierce a foe and strike them on the rebound.
* TheStrategist: His ability to make good strategies is noted as a good point in ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass''.
* TrenchcoatBrigade: In ''Megamix'', he dons a trenchcoat/fedora combo while on duty as a police robot.

[[folder:[=DWN.030=] Dust Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/30_-_dust_man_5482.jpg]]

A Robot Master built for sanitation purposes, specifically to inhale and compress garbage. His ability to suck scrap metal caught Dr. Wily's attention, and he was remodeled for combat. He uses compressed garbage in battle as Dust Crusher - a junk-encased bombs which split into four pieces of shrapnel on impact or when they explode. His vaccuum can even pull foes towards him. He has a gluttonous appetite which makes him good at his job, but, unfortunately, he suffers from bad breath and a pollen allergy.

->'''Weapon''': ''Dust Crusher''
->'''Weakness''': ''Ring Boomerang'' ([=MM4=]), ''Drill Bomb'' (MMIII), ''Plant Barrier'' (MMPB)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Terry Klassen'' (Animated series)

----
* ArmCannon: Although he has one, he never uses it to attack Mega Man.
* BanditMook: He can steal a player's money in ''Rockboard''.
* BigEater: He's got a big appetit, making him handy if there's a lot of garbage to get rid of.
* {{Cephalothorax}}: His head is perched between his shoulders, with his massive vaccuum duct taking the place of where a regular head would go.
* ExtraOreDinary: The junk composing his Dust Crusher shots is largely metallic in nature.
* FashionableAsymmetry: The tube connecting his shoulders is uncovered on his left, exposing several wires.
* MightyGlacier: While playing soccer, he's a very slow, defensively oriented player with a strong kick.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: He shoots garbage at Mega Man. Garbage encasing a bomb, but all the same, it seems strange.
* SpreadShot: Of the exploding shot variety. The Dust Crusher explodes into four pieces when it gets near Mega Man.
* VacuumMouth: He uses his head-mounted vacuum to suck in garbage and enemies, and it seemingly serves as his mouth.
* YouNeedABreathMint: Apparently the scent of all the garbage he inhales still lingers in his "mouth", giving him rancid breath.

[[folder:[=DWN.031=] Dive Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/31_-_dive_man_2387.jpg]]

Dive Man was built by Dr. Cossack with the functions and AI of a miniature submarine. He uses the Dive Missile - an amphibious homing missile launched from his chest (and using screw propulsion under water, and jet propulsion in the air); though they were originally designed to catch fish, they now track foes and explode. Thanks to a design flaw, he can also launch himself as a torpedo to deal massive damage. Though he's got a keen ear, he's prone to motion sickness, and he harbors a deep emnity towards Pirate Man.

->'''Weapon''': ''Dive Missile''
->'''Weakness''': ''Skull Barrier'' ([=MM4=]), ''Dust Crusher'' ([=MM4=], MMIII), ''Thunder Beam'' (MMPF)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Terry Klassen'' (Animated series), ''Jin Yamanoi'' (MMPF)

----
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Dive Man was built to act like a miniature submarine, and he sure looks the part (even having an otherwise useless periscope on his head).
* DigAttack: He has one in ''The Power Fighters'', as a move he borrows from Drill Man.
* HomingProjectile: The Dive Missile, when fired, homes in on nearby enemies and relentlessly pursues them. When Dive Man uses them on Mega Man, they will eventually give up after a small while.
* {{Irony}}: He's a submarine type Robot Master who can spin himself rapidly towards foes like a torpedo to attack them, but he gets motion sickness pretty easily.
* LightningBruiser: His torpedo spin attack is deceptively fast, and it hits like a truck.
* LogicalWeakness: To Elec Man's Thunder Beam in ''Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters'', since it is indeed dangerous to mix electricity with water.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: Other than the Dive Missiles, his other method of attack is to spin rapidly like a giant torpedo into enemies. It acually hirts a lot.
* TheRival: Being a loyal and honest sailor, he doesn't like the unscrupulous Pirate Man.
* {{Roboteching}}: The Dive Missile can turn on a dime, especially when Mega Man uses it.
* SuperPersistentMissile: The Dive Missile can follow a target for quite a long period of time, though they do eventually give up after a while when fighting Dive Man.
* UnderwaterBossBattle: He's fought underwater, making it slightly easier to avoid his Dive Missiles and torpedo spin (it helps that he doesn't have SpikesOfDoom on his ceiling like Bubble Man did).

[[folder:[=DWN.032=] Skull Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/32_-_skull_man_8666.jpg]]

A Robot Master designed by Dr. Cossack for pure combat just like Ring Man. However, Skull Man instead uses balanced offense and defense, and uses an arm cannon and his nigh-impenetrable Skull Barrier as weapons. While an excellent fighter with painstaking attention to detail, he knows literally nothing else beyond that - and as such, he tends to be socially awkward and have bad taste.

->'''Weapon''': ''Skull Barrier''
->'''Weakness''': ''Dust Crusher''

----
* AdaptedOut: Skull Man is the only ''4'' Robot Master to not appear in the Ruby-Spears cartoon.
* ArmCannon: He has one which he uses to fire shots in volleys of six. ''Megamix'', however, restyles it as a femur on an otherwise normal skeleton arm.
* BarrierWarrior: He uses the Skull Barrier to protect himself. Unlike most shield-using Robot Masters, however, he strictly uses it for defense and doesn't try using it as a weapon.
* BigBad: In ''Manga/MegaManMegamix'', he acts as the main villain of "The Grim Reaper of Resurrection".
* BloodKnight: Skull Man was created for pure combat, and he's eager to get into a scrap with someone. However, because fighting is all he knows, he tends to be socially awkward.
* CompositeCharacter: His ''Megamix'' portrayal uses Ring Man's original origin of being created solely to fight Mega Man, since Ring Man was given a more benevolent purpose.
* ContinuityCameo:
** He appears in ''VideoGame/MegaMan7'' in the Robot Museum before the fight with [[MonsterClown Mash]].
** ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''[='=]s animated intro depicts him alongside many past Robot Masters.
* CounterAttack: Curiously, at the start of his fight and after running towards Mega Man, Skull Man stands perfectly still until Mega Man moves horizontally or fires, at which point he'll either jump towards him or fire a volley of six shots beforehand.
* HiddenDepths: Despite being a combat robot who only knows about fighting, he's quite the horror movie fan.
* IHaveNoSon: In ''Megamix'', Dr. Cossack rejects and deactivates Skull Man due to being created under Wily's orders and being nothing more than a tool of war. Once he comes back online, he's not too happy about this. [[spoiler:Only when he's dying is he finally accepted by Cossack]].
* KilledOffForReal: In ''Manga/MegaManMegamix'', [[spoiler:after trying to gain vengance for his deactivation after ''4'', Skull Man is destroyed and never repaired (since he pleads to Cossack never to make fighting machines like him again). His ghost does show up in ''Gigamix'' to help Ring Man against Pluto, however]].
* LeanAndMean: His ''Megamix'' design is considerably more skeletal than his original one.
* MoreDakka: His ''Megamix'' incarnation has ''sixteen'' shotguns in his ribs!
* NoSell: He resists the Pharaoh Shot entirely.
* ObviouslyEvil: When it comes to showing how dangerous he is, Skull Man [[{{Pun}} makes no bones about it]].
* OrbitingParticleShield: The Skull Barrier is made of orbiting energy bits shaped like skulls.
* SealedEvilInACan: After ''Megamix''[='=]s version of the events of ''VideoGame/MegaMan4'', Skull Man was deactivated and stored away due to his purpose as a battle robot. Once Dr. Wily reactivates him, however, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge things go south]].
* SkeleBot9000: His armor is styled after a skeleton, and his stage features Skeleton Joes and Skullmets as enemies. His ''Megamix'' design makes him even more skeletal with thin limbs.
* SkullForAHead: He wears a skull-themed mask which has a purple skull on its forehead. He ain't called Skull Man for nothing.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The Ring Boomerang can pierce his Skull Barrier, but it won't do any increased damage to Skull Man himself. The Dust Crusher, on the other hand, does the exact opposite.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/33_-_gravity_man_1185.jpg]]

A Robot Master with the ability to manipulate gravity (both his own and that of others) within a limited range via a unit installed in his body. An enthusiastic but antisocial researcher, he takes over an anti-gravity institute during Dr. Wily's 5th attempt at world conquest.

->'''Weapon''': ''Gravity Hold''
->'''Weakness''': ''Star Crash''

->'''Voiced by''': ''Jim Byrnes'' (Animated series)

----
* ArmCannon: He has a weak one, and it's his only direct weapon aside from creative use of the Gravity Hold.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: He has a big G on his belt.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He is the ''only'' robot from ''5'' to never be refought in another game, and therefore is fairly flat as a character.
* GeniusBruiser: Gravity Man is quite the intellectual reader, but he's more than capable of doing damage.
* GravityMaster: He can use the Gravity Hold to manipulate gravity within a certain range, allowing him or his opponent to stand upside down on a ceiling. When Mega Man uses it, he presses [=20G=] down on an area before immediately reversing gravity, sending weakened foes flying away.
* GravityScrew: Either Mega Man or Gravity Man will have reversed gravity for the fight; he switches it when he's close so that he'll hurt you via CollisionDamage.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: It's implied this is the case, given how he has an unsocial attitude, yet is a devoted researcher with an interest in physics.
* LogicalWeakness: He dislikes outer space, where gravity doesn't exist. Therefore, it makes sense the space-themed Star Crash is his weakness.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: He's thus far the only Robot Master to have a triangular body, and he even looks more robotic than most Robot Masters do.
* ShouldersOfDoom: Gravity Man's triangular body gives him some pretty big shoulders.
* WeakButSkilled: His (fairly weak) ArmCannon is his only weapon, and the Gravity Hold is utterly incapable of harming Mega Man. Despite this, he can manipulate gravity as he sees fit, often sending himself hurtling into a foe and damaging them with the impact's force.

[[folder:[=DWN.034=] Wave Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/34_-_wave_man_1019.jpg]]

Armed with the Water Wave (which allows him to create pressurized water spouts) and a harpoon gun, Wave Man was originally built to take control of a water quality administration during Dr. Wily's fifth world domination plot. Unlike his predecessor, Bubble Man, his mobility is good both on land and in water. A very emotional Robot Master, he's sentimental, prone to fits of rage, and antisocial.

->'''Weapon''': ''Water Wave''
->'''Weakness''': ''Charge Kick'' ([=MM5=]), ''Mega Buster'' (GG)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Terry Klassen'' (Animated series)

----
* ArmCannon: In addition to having one for the Water Wave, he also has a HarpoonGun.
* HairTriggerTemper: His emotional state is very volatile, and it can be eay to get him riled up.
* HarpoonGun: He has one on his right arm, which he uses as a secondary attack.
* LonersAreFreaks: Anti-social and prone to fits of rage. A bad combination, especially when said loner has a harpoon for an arm.
* LongRangeFighter: Wave Man's weapons are designed for ranged combat; in close quarters, the poor guy is almost useless.
* MakingASplash: He uses the Water Wave to create pressurized columns of water that erupt from a random area and can deflect shots.
* MoodSwinger: This Robot Master is perhaps the most emotionally unstable one ever built; he's antisocial at the best of times, but he can be easily moved to tears, and even angry and destructive tantrums.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: His head crest resembles Poseidon's trident.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Often ridiculed for being weak against the Charge Kick, of all things.

[[folder:[=DWN.035=] Stone Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/35_-_stone_man_6825.jpg]]

A large Robot Master who occupies a mountain in order to assist Gyro Man in conquering the hanging gardens. Built as if he were made of stone bricks, he uses the Power Stone to attack with rotating stones (or, alternatvely, giant stone hands). If he suffers a hard enough impact, he crumbles into pieces, but is able to reform himself. Strong willed but stubborn, he gets on well with Guts Man.

->'''Weapon''': ''Power Stone''
->'''Weakness''': ''Napalm Bomb'' ([=MM5=], MMIV), ''Noise Crush'' (MMPF), ''Napalm Bomb'' (GG)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Ian James Corlett'' (Animated series), ''Takashi Nagasako'' (MMPF)

----
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: An stone-based Robot Master that happens to look like a {{Golem}}.
* DishingOutDirt: The Power Stone. While in most games it serves as a expanding orbital of three stones, it has also been depicted as a giant stone hand that crawls along the ground.
* FriendlyEnemy: Despite being a Wily Number, he's good friends with Dr. Light's Guts Man. Since the manual for the first game implies that Guts Man becomes a good robot again after he's defeated, and there's conversely little suggesting Stone Man pulled a HeelFaceTurn after ''5'', one can assume this trope is in effect.
* GiantHandsOfDoom: The Power Stone manifests as a giant hand in ''The Power Fighters''.
* {{Golem}}: He's a robot that appears to be built out of large stone bricks.
* InASingleBound: He can jump pretty high despite his size. Jumping too high causes him to crumble, however, but that's not a big issue for him.
* NoSell: He's invincible when broken apart.
* PullingThemselvesTogether: After breaking apart, he can pull his stone bricks back together to reform himself.
* SpinAttack: His wall-tossing attack in ''The Power Fighters'' acts like this until Stone Man spins too fast to hold his wall.
* TurnsRed: In ''The Power Fighters'', in addition to beginning to abuse his Power Stone, Stone Man will occasionally launch one of his summonable brick walls from the ground into his hand to use as a TelephonePolearm.

[[folder:[=DWN.036=] Gyro Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/36_-_gyro_man_6926.jpg]]

The first Robot Master capable of flight. The proud - but disdainful - Gyro Man was supposed to have a jet engine before Dr. Wily replaced it with a cheaper propeller. To raise funds, Wily had Gyro Man take over some hanging gardens to collect the attendance fee (though this backfired when attendance dropped soon afterwards). His weapon is the Gyro Attack - a propeller-shaped cutter he can send straight up or down while in midflight.

->'''Weapon''': ''Gyro Attack''
->'''Weakness''': ''Gravity Hold'' ([=MM5=]), ''Plant Barrier'' (MMPB, MMPF)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Gary Chalk'' (Animated series), ''Jim Byrnes'' (Animated series, disguise), ''Koji Tobe'' (Arcade)

----
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: He resembles a humanoid helicopter, down to his feet being built like landing gear.
* Continuity Cameo: Appears in Mega Man 8's intro alongside other previous Robot Masters.
* DeadlyRotaryFan: The Gyro Attack shoots out a sharp propeller blade that can be sent flying straight up or down.
* {{Flight}}: Gyro Man is the first Robot Master that's able to fly, albeit with a cheap propeller as opposed to a jet engine.
* FuumaShuriken: His propeller can be tossed as one.
* HelicopterBlender: In addition to the Gyro Attack, he can use his back-mounted propeller as a projectile in the arcade games.
* HelicopterPack: He has a giant propeller on his back which he uses to fly.
* LogicalWeakness: In order to reach his heights (or alternatively, because his creator made him out of cheap material), his body is made of a light material, making him extra susceptible to Gravity Man's Gravity Hold.
* MutualDisadvantage: He and Plant Man are weak to each other's weapons in the arcade games.
* ObviousBeta: In-universe, Dr. Wily cheaped out hugely on him, using substandard materials and giving him a helicopter blade instead of a jet engine as he originally planned. Gyro Man himself isn't too fussed about it, however.
* {{Roboteching}}: The Gyro Attack can change its vertical direction once after being fired.

[[folder:[=DWN.037=] Star Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/37_-_star_man_1002.jpg]]

Dr. Wily designed Star Man for space exploration, giving him an agile body able to fight efficiently in low-gravity environments (such as the space station he took over during Wily's 5th plan for world domination). With the Star Crash he can create a barrier made of star-shaped energy around himself. A delusional romanticist, he dreams of someday taking a lover with him to the ends of the Universe.

->'''Weapon''': ''Star Crash''
->'''Weakness''': ''Water Wave'' ([=MM5=]), ''Power Stone'' (GG)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Terry Klassen'' (Animated series)

----
* AdjectiveNounFred: He gives himself the nickname, ''The Splended Noble Youth!''
* ArmCannon: He has one with a star-shaped barrel. Interestingly, he fires the Star Crash by pointing it ''upwards'', no matter where the shield flies off to.
* BarrierWarrior: He uses the Star Crash to create a shield around himself, and he attacks by sending it hurtling slowly towards Mega Man.
* CasanovaWannabe: He considers himself a romanticist, and dreams of going on a journey through space with a lover. So far, no-one's taken him up on his offers.
* HeroicSacrifice: In ''Gigamix'', he sacrifices himself to buy Mega Man and the other robot masters from ''5'' time to escape from Mercury and Uranus. Only Mega Man and Charge Man escape.
* KillItWithWater: He's weak to the Water Wave in ''VideoGame/MegaMan5'', and it even destroys the Star Crash if he has it active.
* LogicalWeakness: Stars are made of hot gas and flame. The Water Wave pierces and neutralizes the Star Crash, leaving Star Man virtually defenseless.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: A self-proclaimed romanticist and lover of opera.
* MrImagination: He has big dreams and aspirations, and looks down on robots who lack dreams or are otherwise more realistic.
* OrbitingParticleShield: The Star Crash is made up of three orbiting star shaped energy bits.
* RockBeatsLaser: In the Game Gear game, he's weak to the Power Stone instead of the Water Wave.
* StarPower: While Star Man has no control over stars themselves, he does create and fire a shield made of star-shaped energy.

[[folder:[=DWN.038=] Charge Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/38_-_charge_man_2419.jpg]]

A steam locomotive-based Robot Master created to make shipments to Dr. Wily. He uses coal and water as a power source, increasing his operating costs exponentially. In addition to charging towards enemies at high speeds, he can blow burning coal out from his chimney as an attack. He has a one-track mind and is quick to boast about the olden days, though he's rather quick to quarrel.

->'''Weapon''': ''Charge Kick''
->'''Weakness''': ''Power Stone'' ([=MM5=], MMIV), ''Rain Flush'' (MMIV)

----
* AdaptedOut: Charge Man is the only Robot Master from ''Mega Man 5'' to be totally absent from the Ruby-Spears cartoon.
* BloodKnight: According to his English CD database, he has a "bellicose attitude," meaning he's aggressive and eager to fight.
* ContinuityCameo: He appears in ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''[='=]s intro, representing ''VideoGame/MegaMan5'' as Mega Man fights numerous past Robot Masters.
* CoolTrain: His stage, as well as Charge Man himself!
* DashAttack: He uses the Charge Kick not as a kick, but rather a quick invincible dash towards Mega Man.
* GrumpyOldMan: He acts like one; bragging about old stories of his, complaining about today's youth, and even (in the English version of his CD Database entry, at least) disliking all those new-fangled trendy fashions.
* TheJuggernaut: When he charges at you, [[NoSell he can't be damaged]].
* 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.
* SteamNeverDies: He's a Robot Master built in the futuristic [=20XX=] to resemble a steam locomotive. Wily even went the extra mile and made him powered by coal and water.

[[folder:[=DWN.039=] Napalm Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/39_-_napalm_man_1409.jpg]]

A robot filled to the brim with military weaponry - in particular, with the explosive Napalm Bomb. Made to protect Dr. Wily's secret weapons factory, Napalm Man is a loyal Robot Master with a passion for weaponry (including weapons stronger than his own), but is a maniac with a dislike for safety equipment. His passion for weapons made him open up a museum dedicated to them, but no-one came to see it.

->'''Weapon''': ''Napalm Bomb''
->'''Weakness''': ''Crystal Eye'' ([=MM5=], MMIV), ''Pharaoh Shot'' (MMIV), ''Flash Stopper'' (GG), ''Gemini Laser'' (MMPB, MMPF), ''Rebound Striker'' ([=MM10=] [Weapons Archive])

->'''Voiced by''': ''Creator/JurotaKosugi'' (Battle & Chase)

----
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: His Napalm Bomb tips take the place of hands.
* BreakoutCharacter: Napalm Man has appeared the most often out of all the ''VideoGame/MegaMan5'' Robot Masters. He managed to appear in both arcade games, is a playable character in ''Battle and Chase'', and is the Weapons Archive's ''5'' representative in ''VideoGame/MegaMan10''. He shows up in the intro to the cartoon, but not in the show itself - possibly due to being cancelled.
* {{Cephalothorax}}: His face is located on his torso, with his head's spot being taken by a missile launcher.
* ContinuityCameo: The Weapons Archive in ''VideoGame/MegaMan10'' uses his Napalm Bomb and attack pattern, and displays his sprite while using it.
* DashAttack: The arcade games give him one via a rocket in his back.
* GeniusBruiser: Despite looking like DumbMuscle, he has encyclopedic knowledge of weapons and, according to ''Mega Man & Bass'', is an expert negotiator.
* GunNut: He really likes his weapons. Not surprising, as he was built to be a war machine.
* NonIndicativeName: He doesn't use napalm -- even his Napalm Bombs aren't fire based at all. Also, despite being built like a tank, he never uses his treads to move in ''5'', and he can only move by jumping, though this was eventually averted in other games.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Napalm Man is built like a humanoid tank and is colored predominantly purple.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: Once his tread-feet start functioning, he develops a liking of simply ramming the opponent (though he likes to cover himself with some parabolic fire first).
* TeamRocketWins: The ''Robot Master Field Guide'' and his Japanese CD Database entry in ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass'' implies that he won the Battle and Chase racing tournament and opened up a weapons museum with the prize money (though ultimately it got no visitors).
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: He uses the Napalm Bomb if Mega Man is close enough to him.
* TrickBomb: When Mega Man copies the Napalm Bomb, it bounces around slowly before exlpoding on contact or after a period of time.
* TurnsRed: In ''The Power Fighters'': He powers up the rockets he uses to tackle, speeding him up considerably, and he also begins to spam homing missiles. He can also do a combination attack of charging and firing non-homing missiles.
* UndyingLoyalty: He's fiercly loyal to Dr. Wily and his duties.
* WalkingArmory: He has six shoulder missiles, one head-mounted rocket launcher, two Napalm Bomb launchers in his arms, and a rocket he can use to dash into foes.
* WeakenedByTheLight: In his game appearances after ''5'', he's been weak to the Flash Stopper, Pharaoh Shot, and Gemini Laser, which are all light-related weapons.

[[folder:[=DWN.040=] Crystal Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/40_-_crystal_man_7582.jpg]]

An enigmatic Robot Master made of crystalline materials. Dr. Wily didn't primarily create him for combat; instead, he was supposed to create crystals to be sold on the black market to finance his schemes. He can still use this ability for combat via the Crystal Eye - crystal balls that rebound off walls (as well as small energy shots). Though shady, he has a mystical air to him and is a skilled fortune teller, though despite being a creation of one, he can't stand scientists.

->'''Weapon''': ''Crystal Eye''
->'''Weakness''': ''Gyro Attack'' ([=MM5=]), ''Charge Kick'' (MMIV), ''Ring Boomerang'' (MMIV)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Jim Byrnes'' (Animated series)

----
* BlingBlingBang: Crystal Man is made of crystals, sports large crystal balls all over his body, and he can attack using synthetic crystal balls.
* CrystalBall: In addition to having them spread all over his body, he can create these, and even use them as weapons. When Mega Man copies the Crystal Eye, he can fire a large ball that splits off into three smaller ones.
* FortuneTeller: He's quite a skilled one, befitting his ability to make crystal balls. He's not too fond of scientists telling him this skill is bunk, however.
* GemstoneAssault: He uses his crystal making ability as a weapon with the Crystal Eye; four small crystal balls that rebound off of walls. When Mega Man copies it, he first fires a large crystal sphere that splits into three small ones when hitting a wall.
* HyperDestructiveBouncingBall: The Crystal Eye lets him shoot four crystal versions of these.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: He claims to be able to see the future, but nobody knows if he's for real.
* OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: He acts as Dr. Wily's financer; his crystals are sold to fund the scientist's many plans. Assuming he's still active and working for Wily before and/or after ''VideoGame/MegaMan5'', he fits the trope even more.
* {{Unobtanium}}: His crystals, which are expensive.
[[/folder]]

!!''Mega Man 6'' Robot Masters
[[folder:General]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: After entering the First Annual Robot Tournament, Mr. X reprogrammed them to serve his world domination plot.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Just like the last two groups, that these are listed as part of the DWN series spoils the fact that Mr. X is really Dr. Wily (not that [[PaperThinDisguise you couldn't already figure that out yourself]]).
* MultinationalTeam: These robots came from different parts of the world for the First Annual Robot Tournament, and their stages mostly correspond to real world countries. Their actual countries of origin, however, have never been officially stated (though ''Manga/MegaManMegamix'' does specify some of them).
* NonIndicativeName: Despite being listed as Wily Numbers, all of them were created by different people (presumably, the DWN classification is a more convenient "default" classification, as with the ''VideoGame/MegaMan10'' cast).
* NoSell: All the Robot Masters are immune to the Plant Barrier, with the exception of Tomahawk Man (who is weak to it).

[[folder:[=DWN.041=] Blizzard Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/41_-_blizzard_man_8496.jpg]]

A meteorlogical Robot Master originally made to monitor the weather at the South Pole. He was later modified to create rain and snow using humidity in the air, allowing him to create ice crystals as his Blizzard Attack. He can also roll into a ball and slam into foes. Blizzard Man has also served as a weather forecaster, a job that suits his good explanation skills.

->'''Weapon''': ''Blizzard Attack''
->'''Weakness''': ''Flame Blast''

----
* AbnormalAmmo: Creating giant snowflakes to smack enemies with is certainly a... ''creative'' use of powers over ice.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: An ice-themed Robot Master that happens to look like both a snowman and a skier.
* ContinuityCameo:
** He appears in ''VideoGame/MegaMan7''[='=]s Robot Museum alongside many other Robot Masters.
** He's on display again in the first Wily Stage in ''The Power Battle''. Notably, unlike fellow cameos Elec Man, Pharaoh Man and Bubble Man, Blizzard Man never appeared as a boss in ''The Power Fighters''.
* CanadaEh: Blizzard Man is thought to have come from Canada, which ''Manga/MegaManMegamix'' runs with. In addition, the Curlinger enemy in his stage is a reference to curling, a sport most commonly played in Canada.
* {{Cephalothorax}}: His head is squashed into his torso. Unlike similar Robot Masters with this build (like Needle Man), Blizzard Man has a slightly more defined head.
* CreepyShadowedUnderEyes: While the black part of his eyes are simply his head behind his white armor, his eyes give off this impression when seen from the front.
* ElementalBaggage: Blizzard Man uses humidity in the air to produce artificial snow and ice crystals for the Blizzard Attack.
* {{Expy}}: Level-wise, of Ice Man. However, his appearance calls from Air Man and Guts Man.
* AnIcePerson: Surprisingly for this series, he's the first Robot Master since Ice Man to use ice.
* LogicalWeakness: AnIcePerson styled like a humanoid snowball would logically be weak to fire.
* NiceHat: He has an orange snow hat on top of [[{{Cephalothorax}} what one can call his head]].
* RollingAttack: He can roll around rapidly and try to ram Mega Man. During this time, [[SpinToDeflectStuff he is invincible]].
* {{Snowlems}}: His design is heavily based off a snowman and a skier.
* SpinToDeflectStuff: When using his RollingAttack, he can't be damaged.
* SpreadShot: Though his iteration of the Blizzard Attack doesn't do it, Mega Man's variant sends four ice crystals ahead, two of which fly diagonally.
* WeakToFire: As a LogicalWeakness, the Flame Blast does a number on him.

[[folder:[=DWN.042=] Centaur Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/42_-_centaur_man_9874.jpg]]

A Robot Master who originally worked as a tour guide in an archeology museum, before being modified for the First Annual Robot Tournament (the prize money from which he planned to use to restore the museum). Besides having a SpreadShot buster, he can warp space itself using the Centaur Flash. Despite being able to use it to teleport and even [[TimeStandsStill stop all movement]], it uses up a large amount of energy, so perhaps it's not surprising he sometimes uses the less-taxing Centaur Arrow. He's also a very decisive person, but it appears he regrets a lot of those decisions, possibly from his fondness of gambling.

->'''Weapons''': ''Centaur Flash'' ([=MM6=]), ''Centaur Arrow'' (MMPF)
->'''Weakness''': ''Knight Crusher'' ([=MM6=]), ''Gyro Attack'' (MMPF)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Jin Yamanoi'' (MMPF)

----
* AlternateCharacterReading: Centaur Man's katakana transcription is closer to Centaurusman.
* AncientGrome: His stage resembles ancient Greek/Roman ruins, albeit if they were made of metal and machinery. Centaur Man himself is said by ''Megamix'' to have hailed from Greece, however.
* ArcherArchetype: While Centaur Man himself lacks all the qualities of this trope, his archery ability stems from the connection of centaurs to archery. This is an ability he gained later, possibly due to the somewhat esoteric connection between centaurs and teleportation/reality warping in his original appearance.
* ArmCannon: He has one on his right arm; in addition to firing Spread Shot bullets, he can use it to fire the Centaur Arrow.
* BladeOnAStick: He's pole arm proficient, as shown by his use of one in ''The Power Fighters''.
* BoringButPractical: When compared to the Centaur Flash's {{reality warp|er}}ing capabilities, the Centaur Arrow in ''The Power Fighters'' seems like a massive downgrade for him. Said Arrow, however, doesn't use up a lot of his energy with each use like the Centaur Flash does.
* Continuity Cameo: Appears in Mega Man 8's intro alongside other previous Robot Masters.
* CrownOfHorns: He has a helmet with three large horns on it.
* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: Inverted; he's hindered by his ability to ''not'' shoot at an angle using Centaur Arrow.
* TheGambler: ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass'' notes that he likes gambling.
* GenderFlip: In the ''Rockman 6'' manga, Centaur Man is actually a woman [[SamusIsAGirl pretending to be male]], whereas the games' Centaur Man is a guy through and through. She even harbors a crush towards Knight Man (despite the fact that she is weak to his weapon).
* HornsOfVillainy: Centaur Man has a helmet with three horns on it, and he acts as one of Dr. Wily's Robot Masters in his world conquest plots.
* MythicalMotifs: Centaur Man is one of a few Robot Masters based on a mythical creature.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: To date, he's the only quadruped Robot Master.
* OurCentaursAreDifferent: You can't get much different from other centaurs by having a robotic one that can warp space and time.
* RealityWarper: The Centaur Flash makes him this: using a flash of light, Centaur Man can create a dimensional distortion, granting him the ability to teleport and even stop time briefly. However, this uses up a lot of energy.
* SamusIsAGirl: In the ''Rockman 6'' manga, Centuar (Wo)Man masquerades as a male, and her true gender isn't revealed until during Mega Man's fight with her.
* SpaceMaster: By creating distortions in space with the Centaur Flash, he can teleport and stop time briefly.
* SpreadShot: His buster shots explode into a spread of seven projectiles after hitting a wall.
* TimeStandsStill: While fighting Mega Man, he can use the Centaur Flash to freeze him in place and attempt to shoot himm with his SpreadShot.
* TurnsRed: The later the player fights him in ''The Power Fighters'', he'll be more likely to do this; pulling out an extremely wide-ranged polearm and continually attempting to close the distance to them at all times.

[[folder:[=DWN.043=] Flame Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/43_-_flame_man_5547.jpg]]

A robot created to generate thermal energy, but was later modified to compete in the First Annual Robot Tournament where he was reprogrammed by Mr. X to take over the world. An old-fashioned robot, he takes pride in his moustache and is a consumer of fine oil, with a disdain for cheaper variants. His outdated energy source requires him to change his oil three times a day, which has led to him being punctual. His main weapon is the Flame Blast, which uses a flamethrower to release thermal energy as fireballs and erupting pillars of flame.

->'''Weapon''': ''Flame Blast''
->'''Weakness''': ''Wind Storm'' ([=MM6=]), ''Water Shield'' ([=MM10=] [Weapons Archive])

----
* ArabianNightsDays: His appearence is based on this trope, with a turban, moustache, and pointy shoes.
* ArmCannon: His left arm is a flamethrower designed to fire off the thermal energy he generates. Similarly to Wave Man, he fires it into the ground to use the Flame Blast.
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: Flame Man uses thermal power, unlike most robots which use solar power. This makes him rather high maintenance, but his creators still opted to channel his thermal abilities into combat for the First Annual Robot Tournament.
* ContinuityCameo:
** In ''Mega Man 7'', he appears in the background of the Robot Museum (multiple times, thanks to how background layers work).
** The Weapons Archive in ''Mega Man 10'' displays his sprite when using the Flame Blast.
* CreatureOfHabit: His inefficient and somewhat complicated power source, combined with his high consumption, forces him to keep a strict upkeep schedule, with little to no diversions.
* DiscoDan: He's deliberately designed to use an outdated energy system to be easy to maintain.
* {{Expy}}: Gameplay wise, of Heat Man, with an attack borrowed from Wave Man.
* {{Fireballs}}: He can discharge his thermal energy
* InvisibleAnatomy: He enjoys grooming his painted-on facial hair.
* PlayingWithFire: He's a Robot Master made to generate thermal energy, and for combat purposes he releases it through a flamethrower on his arm.
* PickyEater: He's absolutely outraged if someone tries to sell him cheap or substandard oil.
* LogicalWeakness: This flame-based robot doesn't take well to both wind and water weaponry. Which makes him weak to Wind Man's Wind Storm, and his weapon data in the Weapons Archive is weak to Pump Man's Water Shield.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/44_-_knight_man_9536.jpg]]

A Robot Master 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 this, 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.

->'''Weapon''': ''Knight Crusher''
->'''Weakness''': ''Yamato Spear''

----
* TheAce: At fighting. Defeating ''hundreds of robots'' in combat will give it to you.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: This is how he is weak to his rival Yamato Man's Yamato Spear -- due to its ability to arc around his Shield and pierce his armour.
* ArtisticLicenseGeography: An English Robot Master in the medieval castle.
* BattleBoomerang: Knight Crusher.
* BlackKnight: He resembles one, but there's more to him than that.
* CarryABigStick: Carry A Big Mace, to be exact.
* CoolHelmet: And it even sports a mohawk!
* EpicFlail: His main weapon is the Knight Crusher, a heavy mace that can launched and retracted via a long chain.
* FriendlyRival: He's this to Yamato Man, another honorable warrior robot.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Despite looking like a BlackKnight, he was programmed with such a strong code of honor and chivalry that not even Dr. Wily could program it out.
* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: As stated in his ''Mega Man & Bass'' bio, he prefers to battle his opponents on equal terms.
--> ''"Would you care to step outside?"''
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: He wields one that's almost as big as he is. It defends him effectively from frontal attacks, meaning he can only be hit from behind or when he's attacking.
* MightyGlacier: Designed predominatly with highly-balanced defensive and offensive abilities at the cost of movement speed.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/45_-_plant_man_8178.jpg]]

A sensitive Robot Master with the ability to communicate with flowers. Although he was created as the manager of a botanical garden, he ended up becoming popular enough to become its mascot. After attending the First Annual Robot Tournament, he was reprogrammed by Mr. X for his own ends. He likes being out under the sun, but hates honey bees and is easily depressed. When he was modified for the Tournament, he was given the Plant Barrier, which creates a shield of energy projectiles that resemble giant flower petals.

->'''Weapon''': ''Plant Barrier''
->'''Weakness''': ''Blizzard Attack'' ([=MM6=]), ''Gyro Attack'' (MMPB), ''Atomic Fire'' (MMPF)

->'''Voiced by''': ''Hekiru Shina'' (Arcade)

----
* ArmCannon: He has a buster arm like most Robot Masters, but in ''Mega Man 6'', it isn't used for anything.
* ArtisticLicenseGeography: He's Brazilian, but is based on a flower that only grows in southeast Asia.
* BarrierWarrior: His primary method of attack is the Plant Barrier, which also acts as a means of defense.
* BootstrappedLeitmotif: He shares Crash Man's theme in ''The Power Battle.'' Eventhough Crash Man is absent from the second arcade game, Plant Man retains Crash Man's theme.
* Continuity Cameo: In ''Mega Man 7'', he appears in the background of the Robot Museum (multiple times, thanks to how background layers work).
* TheEeyore: Suffers from depression.
* GreenThumb: The second Robot Master in the series based on plant life after Wood Man, and he even has the same type of weapon.
* FlunkyBoss: In ''The Power Battle,'' he summons flying spores with his face on them. These come in two varieties: one plants into the ground and occasionally fires a bullet, and the second moves diagonally across the field of play, bouncing at the borders of the screen.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The Plant Barrier.
* MeatSackRobot: According to the Archie comics, he's part plant.
* MoodSwinger: He fluctuates between "dainty" and "depressive" rather easily.
* MutualDisadvantage: He's weak to Gyro Attack in ''Power Battle,'' but Gyro Man is weak to Plant Barrier in ''Power Fighters.''
* NoSell: According to the Archie comics, he survived Ra Moon's EMP field due to being part plant.
* OrbitingParticleShield: The Plant Barrier uses the traditional ring of energy particles shaped like something to block shots and damage targets.
* PetalPower: He doesn't have any "real" offensive power over nature, but his Plant Barrier attacks using energy bits that take the appearance of giant flower petals.
* 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.
* TalkingToPlants: He has the ability to converse with plants and flowers.
* TurnsRed: In ''The Power Fighters'': Can start shedding petals as he jumps, gains access to his flying plant minions in addition to his stationary plant minions, and immediately summons another plant minion if the one on field is destroyed.

[[folder:[=DWN.046=] Tomahawk Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/46_-_tomahawk_man_3399.jpg]]

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 Centaur Man.

->'''Weapon''': ''Silver Tomahawk''
->'''Weakness''': ''Plant Barrier''

----
* ArmorPiercing: In a notable moment, his tomahawks and feathers can puncture through the Plant Barrier, his weakness.
* AnAxeToGrind: Has an axe as one of his attacks.
* BadassNative: With sufficient combat skills to boot.
* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: His design.
* Continuity Cameo: Appears in Mega Man's 8 opening intro. Representing Mega Man 6 as Mega Man fights past Robot Masters.
* FeatherFlechettes: In addition to his tomahawk, he can throw three feathers horizontally as projectiles from his war bonnet.
* HollywoodNatives: Sports pretty much every cliche of Native American chief's clothing in his design.
* HonorBeforeReason: Like Knight Man, his sense of honor could not be programmed out.
* WeaksauceWeakness: As a combat warrior, he cannot comprehend the use of Plant Man's Plant Barrier as anything other than a weapon, and thus takes more damage from it.

[[folder:[=DWN.047=] Wind Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/47_-_wind_man_9676.jpg]]

A Chinese Robot Master programmed for ecologically-friendly farming. In the First Annual Robot Tournament, he made it to the Top 8 finalists before being reprogrammed by Mr. X to take over the world.

->'''Weapon''': ''Wind Storm''
->'''Weakness''': ''Centaur Flash''

----
* {{Acrofatic}}: He's said to be heavier than most robots, but his jet engine makes him fast.
* BlowYouAway: Third Robot Master based on the sky and the second one that uses wind-related attacks.
* {{Expy}}: To Air Man. Their similarities are strong enough for them to have formed a rivalry because of it.
** His weapon is, however, one of Bubble Lead.
* IKnowKungFu: His character card inexplicably claims he has this, though he has never demonstrated it.
* TurbineBlender: Not quite "blender", but it can pull Mega Man closer to Wind Man for CollisionDamage.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=DWN.048=] Yamato Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/48_-_yamato_man_202.jpg]]

A Japanese Robot Master created to replicate ancient Japanese war arts in reenactments. When entering the First Annual Robot Tournament, he was reprogrammed for evil purposes by Mr. X himself.

->'''Weapon''': ''Yamato Spear''
->'''Weakness''': ''Silver Tomahawk''

----
* 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 Armour.
* AttackDeflector: He spins his spear at the speed of sound.
* BladeOnAStick: His main form of attack besides his [[ArmorPiercingAttack Yamato Spear]]- he's a skilled martial artist and wields a spear to attack up-close with.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: According to his ''Mega Man & Bass'' CD Data, he enjoys collecting Japanese Swords in his spare time.
* CoolHelmet: With heavy inspiration from kabuto-style helmets.
* FragileSpeedster: Surprisingly enough. In contrast to his heavily-armoured appearance, his plating was designed to be as lightweight as possible for as much movement speed as possible.
** MightyGlacier: Despite this, his stat sheet shows that he has the ''lowest'' mobility rating of all the Robot Masters he's up against, combined with the highest attack and second highest defense (after Knight Man).
* FriendlyRival: To Knight Man.
* LanguageBarrier: According to his ''Mega Man & Bass'' CD Data, he dislikes speaking English as much as he does Japanese. He still can, but just chooses not to for the most part.
* LogicalWeakness: By way of referencing TacticalRockPaperScissors. A tomahawk is a type of axe, which is effective for getting past a spear due to having more weight (as opposed to a sword).
* {{Samurai}}: Designed as one.
* SpreadShot: His spearhead attack when performed in mid-air.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: His main method of attack involves chucking his spearhead at Mega Man. After every attack, he physically walks to it to get it.
[[/folder]]

!!''Mega Man V'' Stardroids (Space Rulers)
[[folder:General]]
* AllThereInTheManual: The Stardroids' ancient alien origins aren't alluded to in ''V'', and anyone playing the game without that knowledge would most likely assume that they're merely Wily-made robots pretending to be alien in origin.
* ArtifactOfDeath: All of them hail from an ancient alien civilization.
* BambooTechnology: Ancient alien war robots who happen to be on par with Robot Masters made in the futuristic 20XX.
* Really700YearsOld: The Stardroids are ancient alien robots who just happen to resemble Robot Masters from circa-20XX.
* ThemeNaming: The Stardroids are all named after planets of the Solar System ([[ScienceMarchesOn well, eight planets and a dwarf planet...]]).
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The Stardroids' fate in ''V'' is unclear, as they disappear from the game once Mega Man finishes refighting them. They never made any appearances in other games either, so it's unclear if Wily rebuilt them and they continue working for him offscreen (like some Robot Masters) or if they [[KilledOffForReal stayed destroyed]] after the Wily Star's destruction.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=SRN.001=] Terra]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/01_terra.jpg]]

The leader of the Stardroids who is greatly respected for his unrivaled determination in battle. He is, however, somewhat nervous and has an obsession with cleaning. Like Venus - one of the members of his group - he likes to wash his mane of hair with shampoo and, due to this, doesn't like to use hats or helmets to cover it up. In combat, Terra utilizes Spark Chaser - the laser that guides onto his targets and deals massive damage to them.

->'''Weapon''': ''Spark Chaser''
->'''Weakness''': ''Deep Digger''

----
* AnimeHair: In the ''entire Classic series'', nobody (even Bass) has got a damn on Terra when it comes to this.
* BreakoutCharacter: He ''defeats'' Mega Man singlehandedly. The canonicity of this event is still debatable, though.
* Determinator: Oh, so much.
* TheDragon: To Dr. Wily, although he's the leader of the remainder of the group.
** The [[ComicBook/MegaMan Archie comics]] show him as this to Ra Moon 20,000 years ago.
* FashionableAsymmetry: His left arm is shown to be more robotic compared to his other limbs. It's unclear if this is simply a "buster-mode" for his arm, or if it's a replacement limb.
* FrickinLaserBeams: His Spark Chaser.
* Main/Jobber: Is incredibly vulnerable during the rematch with Mega Man.
* NeatFreak: Even more so than Venus. Having an ''actual hair'' might have something to do with it...
* NoSell: As his body was constructed from extraterrestrial materials, conventional weapons (''even the Super Mega Buster'') don't work on him... Luckily, that's where the [[RocketPunch Mega Arm]] (and Deep Digger) come in handy...
* TakingYouWithMe: Decides to invoke this on Mega Man in their last battle.
* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: As it currently stands, he's the only villain to have ever, ''ever'' defeated Mega Man in battle ([[TakeThat you hear that, Bass? Oh, don't give us that look...]]). In fact, anyone could argue that it was a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown. [[GenreBlindness Not expecting Mega Man to become sufficiently stronger and gain new weaponry in due time]], he pretty much ''{{job|ber}}s'' when you face him again.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has green RapunzelHair.

[[folder:[=SRN.002=] Mercury]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/02_mercury.jpg]]

Mercury is the Stardroid whose body is made of liquid metal which allows him to take any form and dismantle himself to attack; he's similar to the Devil Series robots in that regard. In terms of personality, he is very bad at making friends due to his loose tongue and hate of gossiping. Mercury uses Grab Buster - the special attack that can steal energy and items from enemies and absorb them to recover his health.

->'''Weapon''': ''Grab Buster''
->'''Weakness''': ''Black Hole''

----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: ''No one'' likes Mercury... even Pluto.
* DetachmentCombat: Since he's consisting of liquid metal.
* EnergyAbsorption: His Grab Buster. He can also use it to steal items like E-Tanks from Mega Man.
* Main/Foil: To practically ''every other Stardroid''. They don't like when Mercury is making fun of them by using Grab Buster on them.
* HealingFactor: In ''Megamix'', he's a particularly dangerous foe since almost anything damaging done to him is absorbed by Mercury's liquid body and reformed.
* LogicalWeakness: Black holes can suck up everything. ''Including the liquid metal''.
* ManaDrain: His Grab Buster will steal Mega Man's P-Chips, E-Tanks, and weapon energy. If you're exceptionally unlucky, he may even steal E-Tanks or S-Tanks...
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He's a communist, despite his kleptomaniac tendencies.
* StealthPun: Also doubles as a VisualPun. Mercury's power to melt into a liquid state is a double pun: Mercury the Planet is the closest to the Sun, which means that any metals would melt almost instantaneously when on its surface; while Mercury the element is the only metal that's liquid at room temperature.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=SRN.003=] Venus]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/03_venus.jpg]]

Venus is a very aggressive Stardroid that walks sideways like a crab, as he is unable to walk forward. Venus loves cleanliness and washes his head with shampoo every morning, despite the fact that he doesn't even have hair. His main weapon is the Bubble Bomb - a heavy bubbles made of a soapy substance that explode on contact.

->'''Weapon''': ''Bubble Bomb''
->'''Weakness''': ''Photon Missile''

----
* AnimalJingoism: He has a natural distaste for sushi and particularly octopi.
* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: Being an aggressive robot, Venus doesn't seem to fit thematically with either the planet or goddess he's named after. The Greek equivalent of his name (Aphrodite), on the other hand, is derived from the word "aphros" (sea foam). He also uses shampoo, which may be derived from Venus the goddess' beauty part.
** His crab-like appearance and behaviour is owed to the fact that Venus the Planet routinely intersects with the constellation Cancer - which name is also means "crab".
* BubbleGun: His Bubble Bomb, which can trap and immobilize enemies. [[GameplayAndstorySegregation Not that it can do that ingame...]]
* {{Expy}}: Hello there, Toad Ma- ahem, Venus... The GameBoy's graphical limitations doesn't help your case, does it?
* GenderBlenderName: Venus is a male Stardroid who is named after a Roman goddess of love of beauty.
* InvisibleAnatomy: Venus loves to shampoo his hairless, metal head.
* NeatFreak: He cares a lot about having an impeccable aspect, due to being named after the Roman goddess of beauty.
* PainfullySlowProjectile: Given the Bubble Gun and Bubble Bomb's slowness, their purpose isn't really to hit Mega Man but rather to herd him and corner him.

[[folder:[=SRN.004=] Mars]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/04_mars.jpg]]

Mars is an appropriate example of a walking WeaponOfMassDestruction: heavily armored and equipped with a large assortment of deadly weapons. The rollers in his feet allow him to move at high speeds; however, he cannot jump well because of his ''very heavy'' armor.
Despite all of this, Mars does have a warm personality to his allies. He likes survival games, which allow him to make use of all of his weapons, but dislikes surrendering.

->'''Weapon''': ''Photon Missile''
->'''Weakness''': ''Salt Water''

----
* DefiantToTheEnd: He is literally ''incapable of surrendering''. It's in his programming, after all.
* {{Expy}}: In a sense, he could be considered as an alternate version of Napalm Man or Commando Man, with [[MoreDakka all of those weapons]] and everything.
* GentleGiant: Really cares about his friends.
* LightningBruiser: Quite fast for a heavy tank with MoreDakka. Thankfully, Mars can't jump.
* LogicalWeakness: Metallic constructions are not immune to corrosion.
* MoreDakka: A number of his attack patterns ''cannot'' be dodged. The only way to not be hurt is to respond with your own dakka.
* ShootTheBullet: The only way to really handle Mars' projectiles.
* TimeBomb: His Photon Missile, which intentionally lags before launching, making it the perfect tool for traps. He also drops landmines that detonate after a short period of time.
* WalkingArmory: Given his similarity to Napalm Man and Commando Man.

[[folder:[=SRN.005=] Jupiter]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/05_jupiter.jpg]]

Jupiter is a Stardroid equipped with a jet engine that allows him to fly at incredibly fast speeds, which he likes to combine with acrobatics - but hates turbulence. He often has a not-so-serious personality to the annoyance of his allies. In ancient times, Jupiter was equipped with several megaton-grade bombs, but he felt that they were too dangerous for him. He modified them to channel energy for his new main weapon, the Electric Shock, which allows him to emit huge beams of raw electricity.

->'''Weapon''': ''Electric Shock''
->'''Weakness''': ''Bubble Bomb''

----
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: He's very clearly eagle-based. Eagle is one of the symbols of the Olympian god Zeus.
* BirdPeople: Jupiter resembles one.
* JetPack: Sports one for propulsion in the air.
* LogicalWeakness: Jupiter's destructive electricity powers don't mix well with explosive liquids.
* ShouldersOfDoom: Justified in that they are, in fact, jet engines.
* ShockAndAwe: His Electric Shock, which is powered by a ''megaton bomb''.
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: He used to do this in the era he was created in, but changed it to channel the Electric Shock as he felt it was too dangerous for him.
* WeaponOfMassDestruction: Used these long before he was found by Wily.
** Also, it's a power source for his Electric Shock.

[[folder:[=SRN.006=] Saturn]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/06_saturn.jpg]]

Saturn has the ability to control time and space. Like his namesake planet, he has a large ring that he uses to initiate his Black Hole attack which pulls his foes closer to him. Saturn is somewhat lazy and uses his Black Hole to bring others to him instead of going to them, which gives him a bad reputation. He loves to be among the first to own the newest, coolest things, which frequently leaves him short on spending money. He enjoys hula-hoops and is a natural at it. Apparently, he lacks skill at playing video games.

->'''Weapon''': ''Black Hole''
->'''Weakness''': ''Electric Shock''

----
* DetachmentCombat: His ring is, techinically, part of him.
* GravitySucks: His Black Hole, which he also uses to pull opponents towards him.
* IDontKnowMortalKombat: He's really poor at video games...
* LogicalWeakness: Easily explained from the mythological standpoint - Saturn was overthrown by Jupiter.
* PainfullySlowProjectile: A tactic of his is to throw his ring and run beneath it, and catch it at the other side of his room. This increases the amount of space Mega Man needs to avoid.
* RingsOfDeath: He has one, which he can use to stop time and create black holes.
* SpreadShot: He can shoot at every angle except directly below him.
* TimeStandsStill: Saturn seems capable of afflicting this.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=SRN.007=] Uranus]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/07_uranus.jpg]]

Uranus is the Stardroid with a bull-like appearance who also has the greatest physical strength and athleticism. Despite of all of this, hovewer, he has a short-temprered personality: he likes to run fast and to overturn tables whenever he's mad, and dislikes both bullfighters and red flags. Deep Digger allows Uranus to lift heavy boulders and throw them at his opponents.

->'''Weapon''': ''Deep Digger''
->'''Weakness''': ''Break Dash''

----
* Main/Acrofatic: Uranus is still quite athletic despite all of his bulk.
* AnimalJingoism: He has a natural hatred for bullfighters.
* ALoadOfBull: He seems to be based on a bull or Minotaur.
* CollapsingCeilingBoss: He is capable of ''closing an entire half of his chamber'' with his quakes, which [[OneHitKill kills Mega Man instantly]].
* DishingOutDirt: His Deep Digger, which works much like Guts Man's Super Arm.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: It's possible to utilize Deep Digger against him: if Mega Man lifts enough blocks from the arena, Uranus will fall into a bottomless pit and insta-kill himself. This strategy is very challenging and can only be used in the Wily Star rematch against him.
* NonIndicativeName: In Roman mythology, Uranus personified the sky. Uranus the Robot Master, however, is ground-based.
* TremorTrampoline: His quakes can just slightly make Mega Man bounce. This bouncing knocks Mega Man out of sliding and the usage of Break Dash, which he's weak against.
* UnfortunateNames: "''Uranus''" and "''Deep Digger''" can't be said without losing a straight face by some fans...
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=SRN.008=] Pluto]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/08_pluto.jpg]]

Pluto was designed for jungle combat, and thus as his appearance suggests, he has very quick reflexes and is agile like a feline. Despite looking like a fierce predator, he enjoys maintaining his sharp claws with manicures and gets annoyed when they're damaged in battle. Pluto can move at supersonic speeds thanks to his Break Dash, slash at his enemies up-close, cling on the walls and fire projectiles from his hands. He doesn't get along with Mercury.

->'''Weapon''': ''Break Dash''
->'''Weakness''': ''Grab Buster''

----
* CeilingCling: He can use his claws to stick to the walls, out of Mega Man's normal reach.
* {{Cat|girl}}boy: Has the ears, claws, and tail of a wildcat.
* {{Expy}}: Reversed with Pluto, who in-universe ended up having Slash Man from ''7'' as one for him.
* InvulnerableAttack: His Break Dash, although if [[ChargedAttack uncharged]], it will simply fire off [[EnergyWeapon small bursts of plasma]] instead.
* OddNameOut: Due to ScienceMarchesOn, he has retroactively become the only Stardroid not named after a planet.
* PrettyInMink[=/=]FurAndLoathing: According to his official bio, he's got other RichBitch qualities such as a love for manicures (which he confuses with pedicures, but since he doesn't have claws on his feet...)!
* PrimalStance: He doesn't fight this way, but he takes it during his initial pose before fighting.
* WallJump: He utilizes these in order to shoot projectile at Mega Man from a safe altitude. In this manner, this attack resembles Nitro Man's wall-driving attack.

[[folder:[=SRN.009=] Neptune]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/09_neptune.jpg]]

Neptune is an aquatic and bulky Stardroid with a half-human, half-fish appearance. He's a very good and fast swimmer; for some reason, he prefers salty food and doesn't like fishing. In combat, Neptune utilizes the Salt Water - a fluid with salt-like substances that can corrode any metal.

->'''Weapon''': ''Salt Water''
->'''Weakness''': ''Spark Chaser''

----
* CollapsingCeilingBoss: He can stomp the ground, making damaging bubbles drop from the ceiling.
* FishPeople: He's as close as you can get in regards to a Robot Master. Even moreso than Splash Woman!
* MakingASplash[=/=]KillItWithWater: His Salt Water, which [[SpreadShot splits into up to 3 orbs of water]] and is corrosive.
* Irony: A fish-man who doesn't like fishing.
* TremorTrampoline: Can do this.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/49_-_freeze_man_1571.jpg]]

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

->'''Weapon''': ''Freeze Cracker''
->'''Weakness''': ''Junk Shield'', ''Scorch Wheel''

----
* AsideGlance: Just try to hit him with Freeze Cracker.
* AnIcePerson: Ice-type Robot Master.
* AssKickingPose: According to ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass'', he practices them in his free time.
* GeoEffects: Most of the danger of his fight comes less from him and more from the environment he fights in. He takes advantage of the slickness of the floor he fights on to conduct his Freeze Cracker along the ground, and he uses the melted icy ceiling of his arena to produce icicles.
* BringIt: Does this gesture to Mega Man at the start of a fight. If Mega Man doesn't move at the start of the fight, he'll continue to do so.
* Continuity Cameo: Appears in Mega Man 8's intro alongside other previous Robot Masters.
* FeedItWithFire: Using his own weapon against him will heal him, [[AsideGlance followed by him looking at you.]]
* FragileSpeedster: In ''The Power Battle,'' he is the easiest character to make flinch; at even his toughest a fully charged Mega Buster shot followed by a single uncharged shot is enough to stun him long enough to charge up another shot, putting him into and endless flinch cycle. However, if he is allowed to get going he is the hardest robot master to get a bead on due to the lack of telegraphing of his attack, the number of his projectiles, and the rapid clip of his run.
* StalactiteSpite: He can use his Freeze Cracker to produce icicles on the ceiling, that harm you, and not him. In ''The Power Battle" he graduates to making levitating icicles.
* {{Samurai}}: His appearance is basically an icy samurai.
* PungeonMaster: In supplementary materials, he enjoys making a good ice pun.
* WeatherControlMachine: In a manner completely unlike Cloud Man, however. He was originally created to kick Conservation of Energy a new one, with his ability to split the temperature of an area into hot and cold areas, and absorbing the hot energy as fuel, turning both areas cold.

----
* ExtraOreDinary: Made mostly of metal.
* FrankensteinsMonster: Is essentially one. Only made up of robot parts rather than human ones.
* HotBlooded: He's a passionate robot.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Junk Shield.
* MagnetismManipulation: One of his attacks is to use electromagnetism to compress a ball of metal junk to use as an obstacle.
* OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: He was designed to be a source of this, with Wily's armies being made of stolen steel and reused junk collected on Junk Man's massive electromagnets.

->'''Weapon''': ''Danger Wrap''
->'''Weakness''': ''Freeze Cracker'', ''Scorch Wheel''

----
* {{Expy}}: Of Bomb Man in terms of personality.
* FloatingInABubble: Does this to enter the battlefield. His Danger Wrap does this to Mega Man.
* LogicalWeakness: The chemicals inside him don't react too well to [[KillItWithFire fire]] (flammability) or [[KillItWithIce ice]] (low freezing point).
* MadBomber: Even before Dr. Wily changed him, he enjoyed explosions in a very casual way.
* MakingASplash: Associated with water.

A middle-eastern style Djinn-like robot, with the power to control weather.

->'''Weapon''': ''Thunder Bolt''
->'''Weakness''': ''Danger Wrap'' ([=MM7=]), ''Junk Shield'' and ''Scorch Wheel'' (MMPB)

----
* BlowYouAway: While Thunder is his MO, his most dangerous attack is using the rainstorm to push the player into the bottomless pits on the sides of his arena.
* BrilliantButLazy: He could be a lot more powerful if he wanted, but it's so easy to just strike people with lightning bolts from where it's safe.
* {{Cephalothorax}}: A plump, onion-shaped body with a lightning rod shaped like an onion dome where his head would be located. His eyes are level with his shoulders.
* GeoEffects: He can't produce his own electricity- he has to draw it from the surrounding storm, although since he is the one controlling the storm, the effect is the same anyway.
* PowerFloats: He is the first Robot Master who is capable of floating and also has no legs.
* 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: His Thunder Bolt attack. Notably, he can't produce electricity by himself, and has to draw it from clouds.
* WeatherControlMachine: He can make it rain with strong winds.

->'''Voiced by''': ''Creator/TakeshiAono'' (Battle & Chase)

----
* BoxingBattler: In ''Battle and Chase,'' he adopts a boxing style to compliment his versatile arms.
* ElementalAbsorption: If attacked with electricity, Spring Man becomes magnetic and can use it to his advantage.
* InASingleBound: He ''is'' made up of springs.
* OneBulletAtATime: Oddly for a Robot Master, he won't produce more springs if there is already one spring on screen.
* OneHitKill: Can be instantly killed by a well timed Noise Crush before the fight even begins.
* RocketPunch: A spring powered one, actually. One of his attack has him leap up high and fire out his arms down at high speed towards Mega Man, retracting them back to do it again.

->'''Voiced by''': ''Koji Tobe'' (Arcade)

----
* AnimeHair: It is shown.
* BattleAura: He can develop one as he charges his flying pounce attack.
* Continuity Cameo: The Weapons Archive in Mega Man 10 displays his sprite when using Slash Claw.
* {{Expy}}: Of Pluto in the Game Boy ''V,'' but also Vega from ''Street Fighter.''
* MixAndMatchCritters: His giant mane and claws are an artifact of how his body is based, and partially made from, Pluto's parts. However, Wily changed him to be dinosaur-themed, possibly to help take over Dinosaurland, his level. The end result is that he posesses both feline and dinosaur traits.
* RollingAttack: He can roll towards the player while [[InfernalRetaliation on fire]].
* StandardStatusEffects: A more rare attack has him clinging balls of goo at the player ,causing them to be stuck in place or slowed down.
* WeaksauceWeakness[=/=]LogicalWeakness: Being dinosaur themed, he's cold blooded for absolutely no reason.
** It could be that people of the pre-historic era were pretty much dead when dealing with cold or massive heat.
** Ice is detrimental to any machinery with significant moving parts that requires traction, such as a robot, and he is one of the few robots to boast incredibly flammable ''hair'' as a design feature.

A vampire robot made for a horror amusement park, whom Dr. Wily stole and reprogrammed. Orignially, he was supposed to use a hypnosis beam to help Dr. Wily gain followers.

[[folder:[=DWN.073=] Blade Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/73_-_blade_man_1019.jpg]]

Blade Man was the guide to an ancient castle before the Roboenza incident. The castle's lord had a fascination with swords, which inspired the robot's design. He has an encyclopedic knowledge about weapons and swords, and can speak on the subject for a very long time.

->'''Weapon''': ''Triple Blade''
->'''Weakness''': ''Commando Bomb''

----
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Shaped like a sword and utilizes blades in combat.
* CeilingCling: Can fire swords from the ceiling.
* DashAttack: Only on Hard difficulty.
* EncyclopaedicKnowledge: Has one about weapons and swords, and similar to Napalm Man in this regard.
* SpreadShot: Can fire several blades simultaneously depending on the difficulty: ''two'' on Easy, ''three'' on Normal, and ''five'' on Hard.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Throws multiple swords. Surprisingly, he is entirely lacking in physical attacks of any kind - his only methods of attack are this and collision damage
* WallCrawl: Crawls on walls as a method of battle.
** SteppingStoneSword: Except he is his own sword!

[[folder:[=DWN.074=] Pump Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/74_-_pump_man_4576.jpg]]

Before the Roboenza incident Pump Man worked at a wastewater treatment plant, purifying the water that came through. He also volunteered his time to wash graffiti off of walls in the neighborhood. Pump Man has also been described as a "neat freak."

->'''Weapon''': ''Water Shield''
->'''Weakness''': ''Thunder Wool''

----
* LogicalWeakness: A robot that pumps water through his body is probably not going to handle electricity well.
* MakingASplash: A water type Robot Master with a water type weapon.
** OrbitingParticleShield: A shield one at that.
* NeatFreak: Described as such.
* ReverseShrapnel: He can send out his shield in a spiraling motion.
* WeaponizedHeadgear: The pump handle on his head can be detached and flung as a pseudo-BattleBoomerang, but only on Hard Mode.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=DWN.075=] Commando Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/75_-_commando_man_3362.jpg]]

Before contracting Roboenza, Commando Man was a mine-sweeping robot who used remote detonation techniques to clear minefields all over the world. It is also said that he enjoys tasting oil from the various countries he visits.

->'''Weapon''': ''Commando Bomb''
->'''Weakness''': ''Wheel Cutter''

----
* {{Expy}}: Of Napalm Man, mostly.
* GroundPound: Like Hard Man, his Ground Pound can stun you.
* PlayerGuidedMissile: Commando Bomb, when obtained by the player.
* {{Roboteching}}: The Commando Bomb is fired horizontally, but can change direction once at 90 degrees, similar to the Gyro Attack.
* ShiftingSandLand: His stage is implied to be of a Middle Eastern persuasion.
* WalkingArmory: A better example of a humanoid tank than Napalm Man.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=DWN.076=] Chill Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/76_-_chill_man_7848.jpg]]

Chill Man's primary job as an arctic natural observation robot was to stop glacial melting caused by global warming. He enjoys photography and uses photos of his experiences in the arctic to raise awareness on the Internet of the importance of nature.

->'''Weapon''': ''Chill Spike''
->'''Weakness''': ''Solar Blaze''

----
* AnIcePerson: An ice type Robot Master.
* HumanPopsicle: His frozen-over head invokes this trope.
* LogicalWeakness: Being melted by the sun is not good for someone based on ice.
* NatureHero: Before going insane, he was dedicated to taking photos of melting ice caps to raise awareness of global warming.
* SpikesOfDoom: Chill Spike creates these.
* SpreadShot: Jumps to the center of the arena and shoots 5 Chill Spikes which form at the floor and the walls. He does it only on Hard difficulty.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=DWN.077=] Sheep Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/77_-_sheep_man_8183.jpg]]

Originally a sheep herding robot, he left that job to work in the static resistance test division of a circuit board manufacturer after one day noticing static build-up on his wool. Being easily bored, however, he considered changing jobs again before he became infected with Roboenza.

->'''Weapon''': ''Thunder Wool''
->'''Weakness''': ''Rebound Striker''

----
* {{Cyberspace}}: Sheep Man is a fairly skittish robot, so he hides his level in a computer.
* InASingleBound: Moves much, ''much'' faster on Hard Mode.
* LogicalWeakness: Rebound Striker is made of rubber, a material that Sheep Man's electricity can't affect or do anything to stop.
* MundaneUtility: Other electric-type Robot Masters have done things like controlling power plants or generating said power. Sheep Man used his ability to generate electricity to test circuit boards for static resistance.
* ShockAndAwe: Electric-type Robot Master.
* ShoutOut: To ''Literature/DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=DWN.078=] Strike Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/78_-_strike_man_7831.jpg]]

He was a batting-practice robot for a stadium before he malfunctioned due to Roboenza. In one incident, he purposely hit a batter that he disliked with a very powerful fastball, sending him to the hospital. He also gets upset when he gives up too many hits.

->'''Weapon''': ''Rebound Striker''
->'''Weakness''': ''Triple Blade'', ''Mirror Buster''

----
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: The first sports-themed robot master is modeled after a piece of sports equipment rather than a player.
* AwesomeButImpractical: One of his attacks on Hard difficulty has him rapidly spin in the middle of the arena and throw Rebound Strikers everywhere. However, this leaves him dizzy after this, giving a large window for a free shot.
* BeTheBall: Well, duh. Especially when you're designed after one.
* BouncingBattler: This is one of his few moves not taken from baseball.
* {{Expy}}: Bears a striking resemblance to Blizzard Man. His weapon also resembles the Crystal Eye in behavior.
* HyperDestructiveBouncingBall[=/=]PinballProjectile: Both in one. After throwing the Rebound Striker, it will bounce all over the place but head towards Mega Man on the final bounce.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=DWN.079=] Nitro Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/79_-_nitro_man_156.jpg]]

He is a stunt robot who has appeared in many movies and TV shows. He is willing to do whatever stunts he is asked regardless of the risks. Nitro Man is also the president of a robot stunt club which has over 60 members.

-> '''Weapon''': ''Wheel Cutter''
-> '''Weakness''': ''Chill Spike''

----
* CoolBike: One of Nitro Man's modes. It can move unbearably slow or ''insanely fast'' depending on the difficulty.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The president of the robot stunt club who gets corrupted thanks to Roboenza outbreak.
* DeadlyDisc: Wheel Cutter.
* DynamicEntry: He's the only Robot Master in ''10'' to not enter the boss in the normal fashion, i.e., fall down from the ceiling, instead he jumps across the room in bike form. Then stops and transforms into humanoid form.
* {{Expy}}: Similar to Turbo Man, who is a race car, Nitro Man is able to transform into a motorcycle.
* LogicalWeakness: Chill Spike creates what can easily be described as icy spike strips, just the thing to puncture tires or send vehicles into a skid. Being a motorcycle, Nitro Man is especially vulnerable to these.
* TransformingMecha: Transforms into a CoolBike that he rides, somehow.
* 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.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=DWN.080=] Solar Man]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/80_-_solar_man_4964.jpg]]

Solar Man worked in a sunlight research lab before he went berserk from Roboenza. In his spare time he developed a "Solar Workout" plan which has had little success.

->'''Weapon''': ''Solar Blaze''
->'''Weakness''': ''Water Shield''

----
* CounterAttack: The number of Solar Blazes he throws is tied to the frequency of the player's shots. If the player just spams Mega Buster Shots, not only will the Solar Blazes eventually bee fired in an undodgeable combination, but Solar Man will also start tipping his head forward to catch the shots.
* EnergyAbsorption: Of Mega Buster pellets.
* LogicalWeakness: Put out the fire-type boss with water, which he can't absorb to power up his attacks.
* PlayingWithFire: Fire-type Robot Master.
* PowerOfTheSun: Uses Solar Energy as a means of attack. [[spoiler:The Ring Man of the Weapon Archives is also weak against his weapon, as he was weak to Pharaoh Man's Pharaoh Shot in ''Mega Man 4'', which was also a similar element]].
* RecursiveAmmo: His Solar Blaze is fired downward, stops, and splits into two waves that visually resemble the Pharaoh Wave.
[[/folder]]

!!''Mega Man 11'' Robot Masters
[[folder:General]]
* DeadlyUpgrade: This bunch of Robot Masters gets one with the implementation of Double Gear System into their bodies.
** However, it was necessary ''even for Mega Man himself'' to match their powers. Thus, Dr. Light installs Double Gear into him too.
* FaceHeelTurn: They were described as an allies of Dr. Light in the past. If Robot Masters from ''[=MM1=]'' and ''[=MM9=]'' are any indication, they could be considered as his creations who were - ''once again'' - stolen and reprogrammed by Wily.
* PurposelyOverpowered: Courtesy of Dr. Wily.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:DWN.081 Block Man]]

One of Dr. Wily's robots, equipped with the Double Gear system. He attacks with various stone block constructs.

->'''Weapon''': ''Block Dropper''
->'''Weakness''': ''???''

->'''Voiced by''': ''???''

----
* DeathFromAbove: The Block Dropper materializes up to four cubes made of stone blocks; these cubes then fall on the opponent. Mega Man can drop ''16'' at once with the Power Gear active.
* DishingOutDirt: Is capable of spawning stone blocks that drop on Mega Man.
* {{Expy}}: Looks like a smaller [[HumongousMecha (and bigger)]] version of [[VideoGame/MegaMan5 Stone Man]].
* HumongousMecha: At less than half his remaining life, he leaves the field only to drop back in with a gigantic robot made from stone blocks.
-->''Your fate is carved in stone!!''
** TransformingMecha: In order to utilize this shell, Block Man reconfigures himself into the head.
* {{Pride}}: Has an ego [[http://www.capcom-unity.com/capkel/blog/2018/05/29/gear-up-for-mega-man-11-available-october-2nd "the size of a pyramid"]] and a hero complex to go with it.
* TurnsRed: When the mecha body is obliterated, Block Man resorts to throwing blocks at you horizontally and rapidly.
* YouCantFightFate: Seems to try and invoke this by having a very official-looking prophetic mural made to demonstrate his success at defeating Mega Man.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:DWN.082 Fuse Man]]

One of Dr. Wily's robots, equipped with the Double Gear system. He utilizes electricity both in movement and in offense.

->'''Weapon''': ''Scramble Thunder''
->'''Weakness''': ''???''

->'''Voiced by''': ''???''

----
* EvilCounterpart: Can be considered this to Dr. Light's Elec Man.
* FlashStep: He can zap across the arena during combat, though only once between attacks. He can zap several times before striking from above when Double Gear is active, and his attacks are too fast for mere jogging to dodge.
* ShockAndAwe: His attacks are electricity-based.
* TheStoic: Calm, silent and serious Robot Master.
