Feel free to discuss your favorite and least favorite Robot Masters from the Mega Man Series.

Cut Man: Nothing wrong with this guy. I just wish that the programmers didn't put those giant blocks in his room. He is already buster fodder. I also could do without the emo jokes about him.

Guts Man: The best Robot Master in the game/series. Too bad his weapon sucks. All it does is lift blocks. Seriously, you can beat the game without using his weapon. I know what you're thinking, "But you need it to lift the blocks!" But what you don't know is that the far superior Thunder Beam can also destroy the blocks while having a larger quantity. His weapon should have been earthquakes everytime you jump.

Ice Man: I am not convinced that he is a robot. His weapon is almost crucial in Fire Man's stage though.

Bomb Man: He is the Mr. T cosplayer with an unlimited supply of bombs. I pity the fool that doesn't like Bomb Man. (Yes that was lame.)

Fire Man: It's impossible for me to dodge his Hadoukens but he is great.

Elec Man: He is my 2nd favorite in the series. This cross between a ninja/Hitler/Raiden will always be remembered. Hopefully not because of his weapon being crucial for that cheap-ass Select trick. Winners don't use drugs but more importantly, winners don't use cheats.

For me, Powered Up is non-canon.

Metal Man: He has a great design and a weapon which is considerably better than the arm cannon (also has high quantity), but since he dies in one hit if you hit him with it, he is denied the glory which the other early Robot Masters have.

Air Man: He is great, but when your basic shots hit his mini-tornadoes, they should be sent in a random direction instead of deflecting off of them. Other than that, no problems with him. I hope Tornado Man can be just as fantastic.

Bubble Man: One of the worst Robot Masters ever created. To try and make him suck less, they lined his ceiling with spikes and made his weapon the only weapon that can hurt the alien hologram at the end. They should have made Torrent Man instead.

Quick Man: I will get hate for this statement but, he is a quasi-cannon fodder adrenaline junkie. I mean that in a good way.

Crash/Clash Man: I don't like this robot. His headgear is stupid and you only get seven of his weapon. This low quantity screws you over with the wall guns in the fourth stage of Wily Fortress. There are five guns and five walls. The walls can only be destroyed with the Crash Bomb, so you are forced to lose a life, go through the bloody part with the moving platforms, and get weapon energy from the Sniper Joes to accomplish this tedious task. Fuck Crash Man.

Flash Man: Some might disagree, but you can beat the game without his weapon. The instant death laser beams in Quick Man's stage have a set pattern and Quick Man himself is quasi-cannon fodder. He is still better than Time Man and his other time stopping successors though.

Heat Man: I want a custom made zippo lighter that resembles Heat Man. Also, Crash Man's already annoying weapon HEALS him and the Atomic Fire is very powerful.

Wood Man: He looks like a pile of shit and probably has the personality of such. I will say this now: ALL ROBOT MASTERS WITH SHIELD WEAPONS ARE TERRIBLE.

Needle Man: He is an underachieving robot with a good concept but a sub-par weapon. All it does is beat Snake Man and Snake Man Can be beaten with the high quantity Shadow Blades. I long for Drug Man. He can be disoriented while blindly throwing OHKO drug-laced syringes in the vain hopes that they hit you.

Magnet Man: This robot bends the rules of physics considerably and his weapon won't work on most enemies, but he has a great design and remix-worthy music.

Gemini Man: A clone equals unfair advantage, if it is powerful, which it isn't.

Hard Man: Not as good as Guts Man, but his weapon is more useful.

Top Man: One of my least favorite robot masters. His weapon is very hard to hit enemies with and only works well on the bosses that are weak to it. If they were going to make a robot based on a children's toy, they should have made Lego Man, Play-Doh Man, or one of my dream creations, Lite-Brite Man.

Snake Man: (insert famous Indiana Jones line here)

Spark Man: Has more emphasis on electricity than Elec Man but less emphasis on badass. You can very easily beat him with Shadow Blades if not your basic arm cannon. He is also another victim of superior robot, inferior weapon.

Shadow Man: He is a badass, but why are the Shadow Blades I get from him smaller than the ones he uses? Bonus points for being able to slide and that infamous fire-breathing frog from that arcade game.

Bright Man: Logically, he should die in one hit.

Toad Man: If you take a hit when fighting this failure at life, you suck worse than (insert YouTube game reviewer you hate) Maybe if I flush him down the toilet into the sewers, he might mutate into something slightly better.

Drill Man: As cool as Drill Man sounds and looks, he is a complete coward. He goes underground for 5 tedious seconds every time you hit him. Cowardice is shunned upon, but at least he doesn't give you a bad weapon. You can make the drills EXPLODE.

Pharaoh Man: I always risk getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome when I fight this boss. You use Flash Stopper on him, and them you mash the B button to shoot him before Flash Stopper wears off.

Ring Man: While his weapon is needed for most of the fortress bosses, they should have made a Robot Master based off of Sauron instead.

Dust Man: (insert obvious sucking and blowing line here)

Dive Man: While homing missles and dive bombing into you are good qualities of this Robot Master, I hate that stupid smile he makes. He is still infinitely better than the next Robot Master though... (and also the best water-themed Robot Master in the series, although that may change when Splash Woman is revealed.)

Skull Man: He had massive potential, but they had to give him a fucking shield.

Gravity Man: I love playing through his stage. His weapon is only useful on Gyro Man however.

Wave Man: There is a Robot Master from that crappy game Syd just reviewed that shares the name with Mega Man 5's Wave Man. This description is about the latter.
He doesn't put much effort into fighting, but he is still better than Bubble Man.

Stone Man: His shield weapon is almost impossible to hit enemies with it. He is nothing more than a Guts Man ripoff. Even his weapon is better than Stone Man's.

Gyro Man: Just like Drill Man, he is a coward. I also hate weapons that you have to manually control. I hope Tornado Man improves over him drastically.

Star Man: A stage with a unique challenge doesn't make up for the SECOND shield weapon in the game. I can't even handle one shield weapon! Every space themed Robot Master so far sucks. I doubt Galaxy Man will fare better.

Charge Man: I could go on a rant about how robots modeled after trains suck, but I won't.

Napalm Man: The cold blooded brother of Bomb Man. He has TANKS. Many people don't like him, but they have bad taste.

Crystal Man: Those big ass crystals are great, but I am still hoping for Drug Man.

Blizzard Man: Mega Man 6's Robot Masters are the most stereotypical ever. Blizzard Man is based off what Capcom assumes to be a normal Russian. He crashes into the wall like a drunk. The next game's ice themed Robot Master is far better.

Centaur Man: Does anyone like this Robot Master? I sure don't.

Flame Man: If it wasn't for that turban and the stage's music, I might have liked him better.

Knight Man: I am one of the few people that likes this Robot Master. Only one complaint though. How come his mace is limited while the mace you acquire from him can travel in a direction forever?

Plant Man: WORST. ROBOT MASTER. EVER. 3 reasons why.

1. He is a plant.
2. He has another fucking shield weapon.
3. He makes that pile of shit Wood Man look dignified.

Tomahawk Man: Does he cry when you throw trash on the ground? I hate how the feathers he flings at you hurt.

Wind Man: He is adequate. Something you won't hear me say often from now on.

Yamato Man: OMG I HAS A SPEAR! I have many problems with this Robot Master. Nobody knew what a Yamato was before they looked it up. I also hate how when he throws his spearhead at you, he has to pick it up afterwards. He is a disgrace to the Robot Master community.

Freeze Man: Great design, ability to freeze the floor and summon icicles from the ceiling, overall great Robot Master. When I die, I want to be incased in ice like he is before you fight him.

Junk Man: Arguably the worst concept for a Robot Master ever. I don't like how all his body parts come off when you hit him with the Thunder Bolt. He should be replaced with my concept, Penis Man. His weapon can be Acid Semen.

Burst Man: Slightly better and smarter than Bubble Man, but still not great. His weapon is crucial for beating Cloud Man however. Here is how I would rank the current water-themed Robot Masters.

Awful MM8 robot <- Rum drunk MM&B robot <- Bubble Man <- Burst Man <- Wave Man <- Dive Man.

Cloud Man: Infinitely better than Mallow from Super Mario RPG.

Spring Man: See Top Man. Those bloody metal coils fail at life.

Slash Man: Rips off Wolverine but is still a great robot. What is that red stuff that falls from the ceiling?

Shade Man: The third coward I have covered so far. I hate how he flys overhead and tries to assault you at random times.

Turbo Man: They should have made a monster truck themed Robot Master instead.

Tengu Man: Just like Yamato Man I am sure no one knew what a Tengu was before looking it up. At least Tengu Man is more badass.

Astro Man: If any Robot Master is emo, it is Astro Man, not Cut Man. He whines and cries whenever you hit him. The meteor shower he summons is decent though.

Sword Man: If it wasn't for that stupid hourglass-like body and the voice actress for Mega Man pronouncing the "w" in "sword", he would be my favorite Robot Master from this game. He is a dignified bastard.

Clown Man: Once again, another Robot Master with a shitty concept. In addition to giving you a short ranged weapon which is very hard to navigate the first stage of Wily Fortress with, he has a bad design and even worse voice acting. "See you in my dreams."? What kind of last words are those?

Search Man: The penultimate coward on this list, he hides behind bushes and suddenly attacks out of nowhere. I could also do without the second head.

Frost Man:
Freakishly huge
Retarded
Overly Worthless
Sad attempt at comedy
Terrible voice acting

I hate how he goes "That hurt!" when you hit him. Also, how the fuck do you "make a popsicle" of someone?

Grenade Man: Annoying masochistic Robot Master.

Aqua Man: I saved the worst Mega Man 8 Robot Master (and the 2nd worst in the series) for last. He is an annoying fruit with a high-pitched voice and an ugly yellow design. Also, how does a steady stream of water hurt Mega Man?

Dynamo Man: I HATE THIS ROBOT MASTER. How come he gets to heal during battle while Mega Man doesn't?

Cold Man: Massive improvement over Frost Man.

Ground Man: Just like Drill Man, he is a coward. I will give him credit though. The drills that emerge from the ceiling are very huge in addition to his ability to transform into an indestructible tank.

Pirate Man: The main problem I have with Pirate is that he is weak to a FIRE based weapon.

Burner Man: He has an interesting design and weapon, but I have troubles beating him with Mega Man.

Magic Man: Slightly better than Clown Man. My main problem is, how do paper cards hurt a robot? And how do they come back to Mega Man?
