Who's your favourite Robot Master and why?

[Number86]

I'm not sure that I really have a favourite, based solely on the Robot Master itself... but if their preceding stage is any reason to pick a favourite then it's certainly not going to be Ice Man...

I guess I've always been partial to Drill Man, although (besides him just looking cool and having my favourite weapon) this has more to do with the level design in GameBoy MMIII, rather than anything in the NES MM4 level (with its badly-used and out-of-place light switch gimmick*).

Drill Man himself is just one of those bosses that can be unpredictable if you don't have Dive Missile. He's either really easy and simply drills into the floor, reappearing only to take some hits like a bozo before immediately burying himself again (repeating the pattern until he explodes)... or he behaves like an utter dick and rushes around hurling Drill Bombs every half-second before leaping across the room and onto your head, a generally unavoidable and very painful situation, all while not once going underground to give you time to breathe.

For some reason I find this potential horror of a boss fight appealing, although I always make sure that I already have Dive Missile in case I really need it.


*wouldn't it have made more sense for Bright Man to have something like this? Drill Man could have had hazards similar to those found in Needle Man's level in MM3, but deadlier.

Mainly Turbo Man and Enke- OOPS! Megaman Killers Not allowed ^_^;
Anyways Turbo Man is the FIRST Robot Master that can turn into a car. (If its bigger he'd be a Decepticon >:P) Its quite nice how he has the shades, and to have red eyes behind those shades!? Ain't that a hiding sense. Its better when his body consists of Engines and stripes of Finish Flags! To Top it off, Scorch Wheel. Some people get their car on fire for overburning it so why not give him his weapon?
MM7 Battle? Please don't use the Noise Crusher. It kinda ruins my fun.
RM7FC Battle? Bs. No Warning when he is about to Crash Drive into you, It requires a leap of faith!
Now to make others quick.
MM1: ...Cut Man :P
MM2: Flash Man, Metal Man
MM3: Needle Man.
MM4: PHARAOH SHOTGU- *Coughs twice* Ehem... I mean Pharaoh Man.
MM5: Napalm Man. His feet is as close to a tank! (*Cough cough TankMan cough*)
MM6: Centaur Man, Knight Man, And Tomahawk Man
MM- Oh wait, That was done already :P
MM8: Sword Man.
MM&B: Burner Man. BURN BABY BU- *Is shot*
MM9: Splash Woman, Tornado Man, Magma Man.
MM10: Nitro Man!

Time Man and Frost Man.

Time Man because I think he has a cool design and time manipulation in general is pretty cool imo.

Frost Man because his stage theme is probably my favorite out of all the megaman games.

[<geminibro>]

Grenade Man, because who just doesn't love him? He's a Robot Master with Tourettes, he loves to blow stuff up, and he's just THAT psycho, that he actually loves to be in Explosions!

And also, Gemini Man, because his concept is just pretty cool to begin with; he can split himself into two clones. But his personality, is on the snobby side.

Oh, and Pluto from Mega Man V for the Game Boy, because... cat planet cat planet

Ah, this one is kinda obvious. I think it's a 3-way tie, actually. First, Tornadoman from MM9. The guy's just awesome. Fanblades that pop out of his hands? Yes please! His overall design is really cool. Also, his theme is probably my favorite piece of music from the entire series. And his weapon, Tornado Blow, is a freakin' screen nuke. Then we have Yokuman from Megaman Unlimited. When I realized that this was an entire boss based off the disappearing blocks ever since Iceman, I was pumped to fight him. :twisted: His stage is so torturous, yet so fun. I've never seen such creativity before with touches like the fact that the disappearing block sound is worked into his theme song just to throw you off more. And his fight uses similar creativity, what with the fakeout defeats and such. And his weapon, Yoku Attack, is friggin' awesome. But probably my favorite is from good ol' Megaman Powered Up, Timeman. His idea, a time-travel robot that is currently unfinished, is cool. His stage, in a giant clock tower, is really fun. His theme is the second best music piece in MMPU, beat only by Wily Boss. His personality and dialogue are awesome. "Look at my watch. You're late. It's out of the question. Go home." And his weapon, Time Slow, is really useful, if marred by its limited ammo count. Where do you think i got the name from?

I'm torn between Snake Man and Quick Man, mostly because of songs by The Megas and The Protomen.

[Deviddo]

I don't really see why fanmade media has an influence on that.

[OtakuAlex]

Top Man (because I like Top Spin), Sword Man (because more melee attacks), Ice Man (ice is cool/nICE, isn't it?), and Bass/Forte (do I really need to explain why this guy is awesome) if he counts.
