Fanmade robot masters

[Hallan Parva]

I've a list of robot masters I came up with a while ago, with their weapons and weaknesses, but never bothered to post it. Here it is, RM and weapon received first:

Swamp Man -> Mud Tracker
Shell Man -> Clam Sled
Spectre Man -> Homing Spectrum
Satellite Man -> Orbit Beam (Yep, THAT Satellite Man I drew. )
Dragonfly Man -> Bomber Dragonfly
Brigade Man -> Brigade Barrier
Sledge Man -> Sledge Quake
Zap Man -> Shock Spear

I also know how each weapon works, so ask if you're curious.

Actually, I'm a bit curious myself. These actually sound like fun weapons to use.

Well, it's like this:

Mud Tracker - Shoots a sphere of mud that rolls forward, leaving behind mud puddles. Explodes upon touching an enemy or wall.
Clam Sled - Just what it implies. Press fire to increase speed. It can bounce off walls and enemies, making you change direction when it does so, so be careful.
Homing Spectrum - Shoots forth a sphere that changes colors and arcs left and right. It homes in on the nearest enemy at slow speed, but if it touches the enemy, it's a lot of ripping damage.
Orbit Beam - A small laser ball circles around you, shooting lasers at nearby enemies. As it fires, it will become smaller and eventually dissapear.
Bomber Dragonfly - A dragonfly bot shoots up in an arc, stops, then goes forward. It will dive bomb in a straight line into any enemy it comes across, then explode on them.
Brigade Barrier - Summons a trio of bots that stay around you, shooting at whatever is in sight. It blocks 25% of damage, but you won't be able to move while using it. The bots stay up for 10 seconds.
Sledge Quake - Jump first, then fire to create a small tremor that can damage nearby enemies. Charge up, jump and fire to make a stronger earthquake that can cause more damage and stun nearby enemies.
Shock Spear - Hold fire to get one out, then ram it into enemies. You can have it out as long as you have energy left. Release fire to throw. Thrown spear causes ripping and stun damage. However, throwing it wastes more ammo.

There ya go, Bro. Now start coding.

You make one of my maps first. Then we'll talk.

Thanks! I've gotta admit, they sound a lot better than my weapon set.

[Knux]

Let me see those! By the way, I hope to sprite some of mine someday, although I don't know how some of them would look like. Especially Zap Man.

Also, notice how there are 4 RMs from nature (Swamp, Shell, Dragonfly, Spectre) and 4 RMs leaning more towards technology (Zap, Brigade, Satellite, Sledge). This wasn't intentional, but it would probably make for a good background story if a Megaman hack with these guys was made.

[Hallan Parva]

Let me see those!

When you said "see those", I bet you weren't thinking of... well, actually seeing them, huh?

Robot Masters

(click to show/hide)

Dr. Cossack's Robots

Dragon Man (Mythril Slash) ~ Originally designed as the mascot for the new Skull Park, he now shares this role with his rival Meteor Man. He is very agile and fast, and can harness energy waves to fuel powerful melee strikes. Though he can appear to fly, he really just uses booster power; the wings are mainly for decoration. He also tends to do things carefully, sometimes getting to the point of panicking if even a slight slip-up is made.

Meteor Man (Comet Blazer) ~ He used to train astronauts heading into space before turning into Skull Park's co-mascot due to his popularity. An avid Mega Man fan, he goes to great lengths to secure the next piece of his astounding collection. Due to his interactions with Dragon Man he's had a chance to improve his dueling skill and his joke-telling.

Neon Man (Pulse Beam) ~ Tasked to oversee energy consumption for Skull Park, he quickly got bored of the job and developed an automatic routine to control the electricity for him. He now fills his time by going nowhere fast, simply running around everywhere at high speeds along courses of his own invention. He loves nothing more than a good race, and though his "speed" is no faster than Mega Man's, the accuracy and precision of his moves enables him to cut through areas almost as if he was a ninja trapped in a robotic frame.

Angel Woman (Shine Force) ~ The only robot from the new series that was built for combat purposes. She is the result of an experiment to create a revolutionary new type of armor for troops engaged in ranged combat. Instead of shielding herself, the powerful defense is often used to protect others due to her gentle heart. Eventually, she was given a release from training, and she's been hanging around the Mirror Chamber ever since. She has a soft spot for Dragon Man, though he has yet to realize this and return the favor.

Geyser Man (Pump Marine) ~ A water control robot who was deployed to an underground treatment facility. The complex also has a small section completely devoted to maintaining Skull Park's water supply. Unlike most of the robots in Dr. Cossack's new series, Geyser Man is very patient and thoughtful. He enjoys tea time and chess games, which is especially humorous considering his distinct British accent that was acquired due to a slight flaw in programming.

Sequence Man (Synthesizer) ~ One of Dr. Cossack's first robots in the new series. He was designed to monitor vibrations in air zones and to control sudden sound bursts, such as when a plane hits supersonic speeds. However, he prefers to use his talents as a musical star, and will sneak away from the lab disguised as a teenager in order to perform at the local campus or on Skull Park's theater stage.

Tectonic Man (Pressure Claymore) ~ The smallest robot, he has a Master AI similar to a young child. Although polite, he is also quite naive and can be easily deceived or tricked by others. He was in charge of Skull Park's construction, and upon completion he returned to the lab to keep Kalinka company. In his spare time, he hits the training room to grapple with Guts Man, or takes a relaxing dip in the Yoku Springs.

Hermit Man (Tackle Shell) ~ A simple run-of-the-mill robot, produced to be the prototype for a line of commercial robots. Deciding that being average wasn't enough, he left civilization to train on the forested mountainside. Eventually he was able to surpass his factory limits, gaining split-second reaction times and developing a unique style of close-quarters grappling. After being persuaded by Mega Man, the warrior eventually returned to the city, proving to be an excellent sparring partner for the other Robot Masters.



Dr. Oshiro's Robots

Number Man (Pierce Wave) ~ Dr. Oshiro's personal assistant in the lab. Being inspired by the Battle Network series of games, he has incredible mental prowess and can process massive streams of data in mere nanoseconds. However, his physical skills are quite lacking, so he must rely on illusions and gimmicks when faced with a combat situation.

Smash Man (Mirage Chaser) ~ The doctor's first creation, built with love, perseverance, and sweat... mostly sweat. At first, Smash Man served as a helper robot with emergency combat routines built in, and his attacks were powerful yet very draining -- only to be used in a pinch. As time went on, though, Dr. Oshiro has expanded the moveset to become very versatile. Smash Man is also the only robot to be equipped with the experimental Dyna Frame technology, which can immediately adjust his speed, defensive power, and weight to fit the course of battle.

Stratos Man (Return Gale) ~ A unique case in that he was one of Cossack's abandoned blueprints. He was later taken over by Dr. Oshiro and completed, serving to weaken dangerous storms before they affect the mainland. Being far away from society has led to developing a very distant and watchful personality.

Danmaku Man (Spread Vulcan) ~ Dr. Oshiro's second battle-oriented robot, his design was collected from an old friend. Rather than focusing on powerful attacks like Smash Man's original design, his attacks are weak but cover an impressive range. Training opponents have described some of his more fierce techniques as "bullet hell" due to their near impossibility to escape unharmed.

You have no idea how long this took me to find.

Hey, those aren't half bad. I like those drawings! Pretty good way to describe the weapons. I wonder how Mythrill Slash would work, though. Is it like a one-two slash or two slashes swung at different directions?

[Hallan Parva]

It's two slashes in quick succession. The first slash slaps down and can remove the shields of Sniper Joes, while the second one tears upward and deals more damage. Repeated presses can chain the swings together as a sort of melee combo. However, aerial use is just a single sideways slash. If used properly, it's easily the strongest move in the game.

Synthesizer is basically a two-dimensional Screw Crusher. By "Screw Crusher", I don't mean the one from MM10 because it was basically a Metal Blade clone. No, I mean 8BDM Screw Crusher, the one that bounces around all funky-like. You shoot music notes, they bounce off the floor and walls until they expire with time or they hit an enemy.

I was planning on making these at one point but the idea sort of died out due to more... well, "awesome" things coming up, heh. I might pick the weapons back up and bundle them with yours, if that's okay. Personally I can see Tackle Shell and Bomber Dragonfly being LOADS of fun.

Oh, and I was wondering if the Wily Finale or Cossack Finale would be a good idea in 3D. I mean, it's basically a mega-buffed Centaur Flash that drains massive amounts of ammo... or your health. Wily Finale could certainly be interesting, as the health requirement would force the player to plan the uses of the weapon.

Not sure what you mean by that. You plan on coding some of my ideas? That's fine by me, so go ahead.

[Neo]

Hmmm...i have a few pics and ideas of castle stage bosses...but...

*looks both ways paranoid to see if ivory is around*
...is he gone?

well, where would things like custom fortress bosses, or just regular enemies go?

also, when im done making my MM Themed game, i could help people out with putting there RM's into fan games of there own...

[Korby]

just shove them here

[Neo]

if you insist korby...

anyways, heres a picture of what bosses i have drawn out so far. only 2 of them(3 if you count the one in progress) are fightable but most-all of the ones shown have there sprites added it...
i labeled them in numeric order with the exception of no.3, where you encounter one of 3 paths that lead to there own stage, thus there own boss...




[edit]...*looks at previous line of text, blatantly showing the post image code*
...
sometimes i swear...this thing hates me >_>...

[Korby]

You had "Disable BBCode" enabled.

[TheBladeRoden]

Having two fire-themed masters in one game is a lot more troublesome than I anticipated

[Neo]

You had "Disable BBCode" enabled.

O_o...(wait, how did you know that/figure that out?)

[? Manibogi ?]

Dunno why I didn't upload this earlier, considering it's 3 months old...


1: First Sapphire Man
2: Stickman, to get an idea of the pose
