Not even kidding. I love how unique he is.

>>1163338
People like Metal Man the same way they like the box their favorite Christmas present came in.

>I'm original

I've always liked Freeze Man for some reason. His design, entrance, and how he doesn't move if you do nothing (other than calling Rush)

bubble

best music

captures the megaman essence

the sorrow of endless battle

>>1163360
He's annoying as hell to fight.

>invincibility frames when doing anything but walking
>has a habit of activating his invincibility frames right as you're hitting him
>has a huge hitbox that makes him difficult to jump over
>often changes direction in the middle of your jump so you can't even avoid landing on him
>his weakness is arguably the worst weapon in the entire series

And yet, he isn't all that hard. Really goes to show how easymode this game is.

I like that train whistle sound he makes when attacking though. That 8-bit CHOOOO.

>>1163372

I'd give you a hug but.... ya know....

>>1163373
Oh yeah, Freezeman looks awesome. His design shows off the capabilities of the SNES compared to NES (greater detail, more colors, etc.) while still fitting the style of the 8-bit robot masters.

This guy. How many bosses attack by throwing a miniature Sun at you?

fucking maniacal

>some (robots) just want to watch the world burn

'It's just a kid, don't make me laugh!'

Am I doing it right?

>>1163338
But you already posted mine. Even hard mode, Skullman superiority.

>>1163847
My nigga

>>1163724
Sorry dude, Metroid might be a robot but he isn't from the Mega Man series.

>>1163338

Me--

>Hard Mode

God damn it! Uh...I guess Jewel Man or Galaxy Man. Wait, shit, 9 doesn't count for retro here. Yet.

You'd think being a robotic pharaoh, and with a chargeable attack, Pharaohman would be a favorite of mine. Yet, that's just simply not the case. Hell, I don't even like Shadowman (at least not enough to make him a favorite of mine), and he's a freaking ninja! So who--

Ah, nearly forgot about Metalman's older brother: Cutman. There's something about being able to fire scissors at your enemies that seems awesome to me. I find his design appealing too, for some reason.

>>1163853

>>1163338
All of them, of course.

>>1163338
thia guy right here

A-am I invited?

Splash Woman because I beat her on my first try and it made me feel hardcore...


Nah, Pharaoh Man.

These two, as a duo.

I love the sound of napalm in the morning!

Centy takes my top spot, runner-ups being Charge, Cut, Gemini, and Spring.

I feel compelled to say Gutsman. I really do.

But honestly, I have to go with Pharaoh Man. He takes shit from no one.

Can't have a robotmaster thread without this

>>1163360

My nigga. His theme is lovely, also.

You can't get better than the Top, Man.

Quick Man, probably. A mixture of gottagofast and boomerangs is pretty cool. And I like this song.

>no one respects the awesome power of Wood

>>1174940
I respect my wood every morning, but Wood Man's a chump.

>>1174940
I'm over two decades late with this, but what was Wood Man's purpose again? Was he a logger or something? This is the first time I'm really sitting down and thinking about it.

And who the hell makes a robot made of wood in 20XX

>>1173345
>Shadowman taking Woodman as a shield.

>>1174963
A megaman fan. Kenji took suggestions.

>>1174984

I remember hearing about that in the MMAC bonus video.

I still want to ask that kid that question, even though he's probably like 40 years old now and doesn't even care anymore. Also, yes, I realize I'm trying to make sense out of a kid's drawings.

>>1174963
maybe its for aesthetic reasons
or maybe Wiley is going green

>>1174963
IIRC, there were contests Capcom held for fans to create Robot Masters. I can't remember which game they started doing that. I do remember that Nintendo Power got in on it for Mega Man 6, and that Knight Man was from someone in Canada and Wind Man was from someone from the United States.

>>1174989

This is exactly what I thought about when I made that post.

I also saw Leela facepalm in my mind's eye and heard say, "He's made of wood"

Knightman, Shadowman, Needleman, Yamatoman and Blademan in that order.

>>1174940
I'm pretty sure he has the most cameos in the series
MM2
MM3
MM8
MM9
MM10
super adventure rockma
megaman power fighters

based on gameplay, i don't know yet. based purely on looks, probably snake man.

>>1174990
Crystal Man in 5 was decided by a design contest, which was won by some japanese dude who now draws manga for a living.

>>1174990
>there were contests Capcom held for fans to create Robot Masters. I can't remember which game they started doing that.

Mega Man 4. There were 8 gold colored cartridges given out to the winners which are likely the most expensive game you could buy for the system, assuming you can even find a legit copy.

>>1163373
The fact he taunts you when hit with his own weapon raises him in my book considerably.

Snake man has such cool music, a really unique stage, and a great weapon

I've always been a big fan of henchmen in scuba suits. I think it's because I watched a lot of James Bond and Johnny Quest growing up. He was awesome in MMBN as well.

>>1173386
I like Topman a lot too. His weapon is really underrated.

>>1175081
His boss fight is really fun if you only use your megabuster.

>>1175081
I-Is that snakeman figure? where can I get it?

>>1175117
It's from someone's pixiv. I always assumed they just made it for themself. But with Japan, maybe there is a toy line. No clue.

>>1175039
I'm willing to bet Cutman or Gutsman has him beat.

>>1175081
This guy knows what's up.

>>1175248
snake bros for life

Crap! I'm a Bubs and Snake man fan, so torn

>>1175271

>Snake Man, the Gay Choice Award winner.

>>1175287
>original character do not steal

>>1175296
Does he make you uncomfortable, Anon?

>>1175296
are you implying something
the gayest robot master is crashman

>>1175307
What's amazing is that most of these kids remembered the Mega Man-esque eyes on the robot masters. If someone knew next to nothing about Mega Man and had no context for some of those images, they'd think it was Mega Man fan art.

>>1175307
isn't there an actual robot master called blademan now?

>>1175319
>>1175318
But wait, I have few more pages!!

>>1175339
sunman's concept was kinda used in solarman
same as voltman/plugman
holy shit

>>1175339
Everything was going fine until Clone Man.

>>1175339
... a lot of these were probably recyled by Capcom without the original artist consent, lol.

>>1175359
Done, thank God for things like Deviant art or artist every where would suffer.

I don't know what it is about his design, but I've loved it ever since the game was debuted.

>>1175359
We need to get some rule 34 on Mega Woman going. Not even joking

>>1175375
get out

>>1175307
>yellow and black attack

What the fuck? That's all you can come up with?

I like to imagine they shelved that until Hornet Man.

Speaking of which FUCKING BLADE MAN.

>>1175339
>rush pellet gun

Okay.

>>1175364
Dude, that Blade Man. . . they used that shit.

>>1175054
Contest started with 2. But 4 was the first one with the prize iirc.

>>1175117
>tfw these were never produced.

>>1175712
They look pretty off. If they stuck to the model sheet a little better I'd be sadder.

>>1175442
When you get a billion suggestions, there's room for coincidence.

>>1175712
I remember seeing these on the back of the first wave boxes (I still have all of them, including that piece of shit figure you got by combining all five pieces from each figure) and desperately wanting Snakeman and Heatman. And then they just never came out. Always annoyed me.

>>1176248
What figure is the combined one of?

>>1176249
A really ugly blue Mega Man. It was supposed to be "fully charged" but the end result is...yeah.

>>1173345

This is beautiful...

Who's the tough guy standing on top of the Wily Tower right above the "W"?

>>1177220
That's King from Mega Man and Bass.

>>1177235

Thank you. Was driving me nuts.

>>1175039
>>1175145

I'm inclined to think Gutsman just barely over Cutman, seeing as how there are numerous buster-fodder enemies, and bosses that at least bear a striking resemblance to him. In addition, of course, to his cameo in 3, numerous places in 7, even as a boss, 8, Megaman and Bass, and several of the spinoffs.

Welp, we can tell which of these kids ended up on 4chan.

>>1175339

>Glue Man

We can clearly see Megaman Unlimited's inspiration.

This thread is lacking

>>1178434
>There were two clown based Navis in Battle Network

Seems someone knows their shit.

Where's Terror Teddy?

>>1178434
Well it is now.

>>1175339
I like Yo-Yo Man because not only is he yoyo themed, but he also seems to be saying "yo, yo!"

Yeah, it's a terrible pun, but pretty clever for a gradeschooler.

Galaxy Man. Great weapon, decently challenging fight without being frustrating, and I like the simple but solid design that pulls his theme together. If MM9 doesn't count as retro (it does, regardless of what the sticky says), then I go with Burst Man.

He has a simple but relentless attack pattern, he isn't made into a mindless chore by his weakness, and the Danger Wrap is actually a pretty fun weapon if you know how to use it correctly.

>>1163373
Awesome design, fun fight.

>>1174963
The MM2 Robot Masters were made by Wily for the sole purpose of destroying Mega Man. They had no utilitarian roles like the reprogrammed RMs of the first game. As for why Wily decided to model a robot after a tree... no damned idea. He seems to have esoteric tastes in his robot designs.

>>1175039
>Wood Man in MM9
wat. No, really, how and where did I miss this?

>>1174963
I always figured Wood Man was actually made of metal, and his wood-like appearance is just camouflage.

Elecman has always been my favorite

>>1179152
Since his only purpose is to destroy Megaman, camouflage isn't an unreasonable purpose for it. But he is actually made out of wood canonically.

>>1179151
>wat. No, really, how and where did I miss this?
He's mistaken. Wood man doesn't show up in MM9.

It's so hard to pick just one Robot Master, but if I have to I guess Knight Man.

Look at this bastard. He doesn't give a fuck.

It's also one of my favorite levels and tracks.
