I think there is actually an official source on the purposes of robot masters, for example: Ice Man wasn't built for helping global warming, instead he was merely built for exploration of cold zones. All of the Megaman 2 robot masters are solely made for combat. All of the Megaman 3 robot masters (except Shadow Man, whose origin is unknown) were built for exploring space to collect resources. Star Man was built for exploring the universe. Chill Man was ACTUALLY built for helping global warming. Astro Man was merely built for a planetarium. Galaxy Man was built for managing meteorites and whatnot to avoid collision with the planet.
Yep but it kinda clear he just didn’t bother reading the info for em and just based it off gameplay and looks ; idk why but it seems that’s what he did
And then there's Sword Man, who only exists because Dr. Wily wanted an excuse to use a sword that he stole. And Crystal Man exists because Dr. Wily wanted money and so decided to dupe people.
Grenades are not demolition devices. They are exclusively for killing people in war. And they're incredibly effective at it. If this were real life, Grenade man would be the most powerful robot master of all time.
@@BonnieYT67865I think Top Man could probably work as a dance instructor, or in a more literal standpoint, just work at a factory that makes Tops or something.
Bubbleman and Metalman are way more useful than you realize. Bubbleman can operate underwater without any issues, making him incredibly useful for underwater rescue or salvage missions. He also has a weapon designed to work underwater that in fact turned out to be the most powerful in the game since it was the check against Dr. Wiley. And Metalman throws saw blades, making him a godsend to the lumber industry.
I low-key love how Tooterp used his electrical engineering smarts to defend why he thinks Fuse Man is 11's dumbest and most baffling. Well plaid, good sir. I was pleasantly shocked and enlightened. q_o
IMHO, the reason Grenade Man is so dumb is because he LIKES the feeling of his own bombs. It tickles him. Hell, when you kill him he says, "That felt gooooood". Seriously?
Most of the robot masters’ function are pointed out in guide books. Literally all the robot masters in 6 are combat robots bc that has robot tournament taken place. I know this a satire list so I get it.
Yes, you’re right, but only kind of, since, out of the eight, only Knight Man and Tomahawk Man were built exclusively for combat. Blizzard Man was a meteorologist and Olympic skier, Centaur Man was an archaeology museum tour guide, Flame Man was built to generate large amounts of thermal power, Plant Man was a botanical garden keeper, Wind Man was an agricultural robot, and Yamato Man was modeled after a samurai warrior. All of what I just said was also pointed out in the guide book. Essentially, what I’m saying is, Knight Man and Tomahawk Man are the only true combat robots in MM6, since, as I said, they’re the only two robots in that game designed specifically for combat.

As a big fan of Wood Man, I'm glad that he's not the stupidest. I love big chonky trees that attack people, especially if the trees in question are also robots. Also, I don't see why Napalm Man is stupid. His purpose is to bring death and destruction by firing napalm bombs. That might be evil and horrible, but I don't see how it's stupid. Using napalm apparently isn't a war crime, it's just highly questionable.
Originalmente su lluvia era lluvia común, pero cuando llegó el Dr. Willy lo mezcló con un químico y la volvió acida, pero originalmente era lluvia normal segura
Tengu are a type of legendary creature found in Shinto belief. They are considered a type of yōkai or Shinto kami. The Tengu were originally thought to take the forms of birds of prey and a monkey deity, and they were traditionally depicted with human, monkey, and avian characteristics.
It should be noted: 1. The robots in 2 and 5 were made by Wily, with the ones in 2 being exclusively for killing Mega Man. The ones in 5 were built to help Wily in various ways, such as Crystal Man making crystals for Wily to sell. 2. All of the 3 robots were made to *explore* other planets. They aren’t aliens, except Shadow Man. Light and Wily collaborated to make the other 7 3. Half the robots from 7 and 8 are Wily creations, other half have useful purposes. I think its unfair to judge robots solely made for combat or specific purposes for something they weren’t built to do. Granted, I doubt much of the list would change given this change.
I appreciate the stupidity showdown between Top Man and Hard Man, who I always thought was supposed to be some kind of sentient wrecking ball, which is a stupid idea in the first place.
Hard Man is supposed to be a land levelling press, why did that need to be sentient? If you put him on a crane by a very strong chain, he can technically be a wrecking ball, I suppose. He's probably about as heavy as a real-life wrecking ball, it would just be slower because he's not that much larger than a human person. It's arguably even stupider because he's built for that hyperspecialized purpose, so what else can he even do? Bright Man is just stupid because he can't even help people in natural disaster situations beyond being a lamp in any way a human worker can't due to how fragile his lightbulb is. Also, he can't get wet, and floods are the most common natural disaster, plus humans drown easily. If you made him waterproof and less fragile, at least he'd be justified because he'd also be doing humanitarian aid situations that kill people. At least Toad Man absolutely needs to be sentient to do his job correctly and he works with pesticides, which are dangerous to human workers. Top Man seems stupid until you realize a land surveyor who is a giant sentient gyroscope would be really useful to gather the most detailed elevation data. Different points on the ground have different points of elevation relative to each other, even if by millimeters and micrometers, and such a difference would be important in erosion studies and certain types of construction where those measurements matter. Spark Man just didn't need to be sentient, as he's just an electrical generator. That's his job, by Mega Man 3, Wily and Light could only solve problems by sentient robot. Again, why does the backup power source need to be sentient if it isn't also doing surveillance like Elec Man or Fuse Man? If they gave him convertible hands and made him the spaceship's medic/mechanic, he'd actually have a reason to be sentient. And then there's the category where sentience is needed to do the job, but a human can perform such a task just as efficiently, so they were only built to skirt labor laws. Clown Man and Magic Man come to mind, although Bounce Man might if you didn't read his character bio (he's a whole other can of worms with ethics, why make a working robot with a mental model of a three year old? I feel like that should violate child labor laws, and probably does by the time the ZX games take place). Also, Centuar Man counts because he's supposed to be at our guide for a museum. They really didn't want to pay a teenager poverty wages because it would cost too much in the long run? There are undoubtedly more who exist in-universe but aren't relevant to the games' plot.

I find it very amusing you said that metal is hard to cut with scissors when Cutman was probably designed after actual Sheet Metal Shears, a relatively dangerous job for people to do even with machines. It makes plenty of sense to have a robot in charge of cutting metal into various products, and it makes even more sense to give that robot large shears in case he needs to do something manually.
@@PlayfulOtterCutman's Rolling Cutter is stated to slice through most materials with ease, and Dr.Light states in his research Journal that he made Pre-MM1 Rolling Cutter Unbreakable. He can serve his function as a timber-felling robot without issues.
@@JZJ7777 Except you missed the part in Dr. Light's notes about how the cutter can cut through any material with ease. *Any material* includes the aforementioned metal, which was what the video mentioned.
Gemini man stage and battle plays on both meanings of the the word. The stage references the constellation meaning while the fight references gemini also means twins which is why you fight 2 of him
None of the robot masters in episode 1 are stupid, because they all serve a purpose. Cut Man is a lumber jack, Fire Man runs a steel mill, Bomb Man is a demolitions expert designed for construction, Guts Man is a super strong construction worker, Elec Man runs power plants, and Ice Man was designed for arctic studies.
Ring Man's purpose is to be a ring master at a circus, and Hard Man's purpose is to deal with dangerous animals, that's why he has Titanium and Tungsten armor.
This video is basically the answer to the prompt: "Tell me you haven't done ANY research on Megaman lore without telling me you didn't do any research." I'm only at Megaman 2, and between not knowing/completely guesstimating the purposes of the Robot Masters, and referring to the almighty Metal Blades (ehich are metal SAWS) as "gears", this dude ain't got a single diggity-dang clue about the franchise's lore.
@@noww446 my brudda, you literally only need to look at the key art for each character to, for example, realise that Metal Blades are saws. Orrr, like, read through the FOUR SENTENCES of intro text presented at the beginning of Megaman 2 to know that the MM2 robots are built for combat by Wily. NO. RESEARCH.
Dude look into the lore. Crystal man was created by wily to create artificial crystals to make wily a lot of money. Check the lore and comics and manuals they tell you all the reasons the robot masters exist
As designer of Windman, (I won the Nintendo Power contest along with a Canadian fan) I didn't Invision Windman fighting like that. I was still stoked to see my name in the end credits though. Michael Leader. We didn't get a free copy of the game for winning, however, we had to buy it. We got a T-shirt, a clock of our character with it's name on it, some colored markers and a pin. Not bad.
The MM1 Robot Masters were all created for industrial purposes. Fire Man is actually made to incinerate trash. Ice Man is just for artic exploration which feels like something you don't really need a dedicated ice robot for, a fire robot would probably be better for that. All MM2 Robot Masters were made by Wily to kill Mega Man The MM3 Robot Masters were created to explore space, while Shadow Man was actually found in space and upgraded into a Robot Master the MM4 Robot Masters were made for industrial purposes by Dr Cossak and turned on Mega Man when Wily blackmailed him The MM5 Robot Masters were also made by Wily, so they also just exist to kill Mega Man The MM6 Robot Masters are all combat robots, but they aren't made to take down Mega Man specifically. They were part of a robot fighting tournament The MM7 8 and Bass Robot Masters are all a mix of robots built by Wily/King and Robot Masters stolen and reprogrammed, so some of them are made just to kill Mega Man and some had a real use The MM9 10 and 11 Robot Masters all have industrial purposes
Cut man will be useful if paper invades. Bubble Man helps any hedgehogs who accidentally fall in the water Hard Man makes people- Ring Man lets you go to the Special Stage Napalm Man reduces the global population, lowering the strain that humanity has on the environment. The Mega Man 6 Robot Masters are essentially the -World Warriors- contestants on Robot Wars, so their job is to beat each other up. With that said, Centaur Man says nay. Spring Man gets rid of winter and makes way for the summer Grenade Man is always a blast Tengu Man (MM&B) is a Yōkai, which means he can get the Yo-Kai Watch series to come back Jewel Man is probably very rich Sheep Man dreams of androids Actually, Fuse Man blows. Anyway, since he technically counts as a Robot Master if you lore hard enough, Zero is the stupidest Robot Master because he doesn't even know what he's fighting for.
So, we ignoring the whole "MM1 robot masters killing Mega man" thing? They were made by doctor light to be: Guts man: A construction forman Cut man: A lumber tolling robot Bomb man: A demolition robot Elec man: A sort of backup generator for the city Ice man: A robot made to help the arctic in some way (I believe) Fire man: A robot made to be a sort of high-powered furnace (I believe) all of which are not intended to be violent towards Mega man as they're his friends
i don’t wanna be rude but i think bubble man can actually be used to go on dangerous deep ocean missions that are too dangerous for humans and that wood man is the stupidest
X1: X1's Mavericks are all incredible in comparison to the average so choosing a stupid one is difficult. I guess if I had to pick one I would go with Spark Mandrill because of how exploitable his pattern is, but that's basically nothing in comparison to most stupid bosses in this franchise. X2: I mean. Just look at Wire Sponge. X3: I mean. Just look at Volt Catfish. Why is one of these a catfish? X4: I guess Cyber Peacock for the stupid face he makes when you use his weakness on him? X5: Shining Firefly for the sole reason that he created the Flash Laser. X6: Infinity Mijinion for having a stupid boss fight and barely being an anything. What is he, a flea or something? X7:I mean. Just look at Tornado Tonion. X8: I mean. Just look at Optic Sunflower. Z1: Zero 1's Mutos Reploids aren't very stupid. Anubis Necromancess is comically exploitable and his name is Necromancess for some reason, but the concept of an Anubis robot raising dead robots is just cool and he looks sick. Aztec Falcon only has one health bar for some reason, but I think that's for the best since noobs already think Aztec Falcon is too hard. I guess I'd have to give this to Blizzack Stagroff for having a weird name and being pretty exploitable. Z2: I mean. Just look at Burble Hekelot. Z3: Glacier Le Cactank is a pathetically easy boss who looks stupid and is named Glacier le Cactank. Z4: Mino Magnus is literally stupid and the attack where he splits himself apart is stupid. ZX1: I mean. Just look at Leganchor. Why? ZXA: ZX Advent has a few candidates to choose from between diet Sonic the Hedgehog and the creepy gay stereotype rose dude and the voice acting certainly doesn't help. However, Ugoyle and Argoyle exist with their stupid faces. I cannot take them seriously with those faces.
Great video as always, Tooterp. I agree with most of this (even if sheep man got flamed). By the way I have a question about the Mega Man X Legacy Collection. Recently, I bought the game on steam but it whenever I open the game it gives me an error screen window that says "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED: mpStagingBuffer->Map(D3D10_MAP_READ_WRITE,0,&pbuf)" Do you have any experience with this, because if so I could really use some help. I was really looking forward to playing the X games for the first time in my life. 😭
Late to the party, but Metal Man ain't chucking gears. That madlad is throwing circular saw blades, and those are no joke. Then you throw in the in-game lore of them being of ceratanium and you have some seriously dense and sharp metal. Scary stuff.
Sheep Man is both the stupidest and the smartest at the same time for being a sentient science fiction novel meme. :p Meanwhile Blade Man is simultaneously the sharpest and dumbest.
My own list differs slightly, though some of yours make sense. In *Mega Man 1,* I think it's Bomb Man (for his use of cartoon style ball-and-fuse bombs, and his body for being shaped like a bomb and blast cloud) or Ice Man (he's the only Robot Master who doesn't look _robotic_ he looks like a guy an a heavy snow suit. He's Captain Cold without the ice gun or snow mask! In *Mega Man 2,* it's Bubble Man. Not only are the bubbles slow and goofy, he's not very effective outside of water. In *Mega Man 3,* it's a tough decision between the deadly Snake Man and Top Man. (FYI, Hard Man is a Pile Driver.) Ring Man in *Mega Man 4* is stupid. No argument there. (I do find Pharaoh Man useful, and in spite of his looks, Bright Man is a more effective Flash Man.) In *Mega Man 5,* Stone Man or Charge Man are in the bottom 2. Napalm Man isn't stupid, because he (and Crash Man) are more effective at their job than Bomb Man.
"[Ice Man is] Captain Cold without the ice gun or snow mask!" And in Captain NT Game Master he actually _does_ have an ice gun, making him even more like Captain Cold.
Snake Man was engineered to fit into tight spaces while searching alien planets for the resources (to finish Gamma). In other words, he’s pretty useful. Hard Man is clearly useful for mining resources. He can blast through rocks and tough materials with his girth, durability and Hard Knuckles. Top Man is clearly far less useful, since the MM3 robots are sent out to gather resources.
Hard Man might be useful for mining resources, but there’s no evidence to support that was what he was created for. In fact, it’s not even known what his original purpose was. He might be as useless as Top Man, in fact, even with his heaviness and Hard Knuckle. At least Top Man was able to easily make arrangements on Dr. Wily’s behalf due to being a smooth talker.
Ngl Centaur man could be an amazing robot for tourist spots in greece since there are so ruins and he could prob carry people on his backs to show them the areas. Also jewel and crystal man can create jewels and crystals which cost WAY TO MUCH
I really enjoyed this video, it was really cool seeing all the MegaMan's after four. That's where I stopped as a kid, but I am now considering getting the collections including the X collections😍
I don't think you did very much research on these characters. Many of these guys have literal entries on what their functions are, why they were made, who made them, and you missed a metric ton of them.
ice man would have amazing utility in heavy machinery, as they often require massive cooling systems(same reason airman wouldnt be stupid in the real world). fire man and heat man on the other hand would be really good in metalurgy oriented tasks. hell, even construction work would be good, with them being able to manipulate metal on site. air man has the added use of being a test helper for air flow oriented tests. which would be great for airplanes and other wind related task including firefighting, as he could be used to control the airflow inside burning places. woodman would be a usefull robot for replanting trees and looking like one, could help him blend in as a security drone against illegal lumber cutting. snakeman, would also be incredible for rescue operations, as he is able to create small drones that could get into tight spaces, helping searches in cases of fallen buildings and cave exploration.
My list as a nerd who spends too much time learning about the robot masters: Mm1: assuming I cant pick the scrapped bond man, who is... Just glue, or oil man powered up for uh... *cough* the serious design flaw on him, i'm gonna go cut man as well. The rest of the lineup is way more important. Mm2: Wood man, hands down. The entire line was created to kill megaman and um... Wily thought armoring one of these robots with wood was a good idea? Bruh??? Mm3: top man. For nothing relating to his design or weapon or combat abilities or anything. I think he's dumb because he was created to... Explore other planets??? Excuse me? I get his good balance might help in places with wonky gravity but he does not resemble a space explorer in the slightest. Mm4: I dont take ringman slander, he was made for combat and his ring boomerangs hit hard. Meanwhile... Bright man was just made to light up dark places? Like, i dunno a flashlight? I just- ough, no thanks. This is 20xx there's a million ways to do that. Mm5: charge man, because he was created, quote, to... "blend in with trains". He also runs on the same things a train does, making his fuel cost extremely high. No thank you. Mm6: also going with centaur man, his job is legit just being a tour guide at a museum. To quote polygon: "just give the job to a 17 year old they need the money." Mm7: It could be either spring man or slash man to me, but im gonna go with slash here because he was specifically created to, quote: "clear out forests to build secret bases." and that... Makes no sense. I certainly dont get that vibe from his stage full of dinosaurs. Mm8: aqua man because he's into dumb toilet human. I love him but i wouldnt be able to stand having a conversation with him. Mm&b: look, im a fellow enjoyer of this game, but... It is a little odd how cold man is just... A refrigerator. To be fair, one that holds dinosaur dna but... What else? Why would a fridge need to be sentient?? Mm9: uuuuh plug man, he just builds and inspects tvs. thats a bit whatever compared to other things robot masters are tasked with. Mm10: strike man, easily. He's just a baseball practice machine. This is another job we could give to a 17 year old i think. Mm11: oooo this is a tough one... But i regretably pick torch man. He looks cool as heck but all he does is teach people about fire safety. That pales in comparison to what the rest of the linup does. BONUS: mmV: the stupidest stardroid is probably venus because he's canonly stuck walking around sideways and there's no way that doesnt make him an easy target. Not something you'd want on an alien robot invader.
In Megaman 3, I think Shadow Man is the stupidest of them all. How come you being a super cool deadly ninja from outer space become so weak against a dancer?

It makes plenty of sense to have a robot in charge of cutting metal into various products, and it makes even more sense to give that robot large shears in case he needs to do something manually.
Plus, he said Cutman is stupid because he tries to cut metal with metal but Metal Man isn't stupid because he tries to cut metal with metal.
@@PlayfulOtterthat and metal is used to cut metal IRL
@@PlayfulOtterCutman's Rolling Cutter is stated to slice through most materials with ease, and Dr.Light states in his research Journal that he made Pre-MM1 Rolling Cutter Unbreakable. He can serve his function as a timber-felling robot without issues.
Yeah, you could be right, but Cut Man was originally built as a timber-felling robot, not a metal cutter.
@@JZJ7777 Except you missed the part in Dr. Light's notes about how the cutter can cut through any material with ease. *Any material* includes the aforementioned metal, which was what the video mentioned.
This video is only making me realize this guy knows nothing about the actual lore of Mega Man and the robot masters, unintelligent and uninformative
Agreed
Gemini man stage and battle plays on both meanings of the the word. The stage references the constellation meaning while the fight references gemini also means twins which is why you fight 2 of him
You just popped up on my algo and you’re content is great!
I personally think Hard Man might be one of the most stupid robot masters, since it’s not even known what he was built for.
That Guts Man kill was just perfect! @1:18
None of the robot masters in episode 1 are stupid, because they all serve a purpose.
Cut Man is a lumber jack, Fire Man runs a steel mill, Bomb Man is a demolitions expert designed for construction, Guts Man is a super strong construction worker, Elec Man runs power plants, and Ice Man was designed for arctic studies.
I agree. Thats probably why there are only 6, because the other 2 ideas were stupid so why put them in the game at all
@@makeshift_battlefield_musicI wonder what Bond Man did to have his purpose deemed stupid?
You were right about all of those, except Fire Man. He was originally built to work in an incinerator at a waste management facility.
You said Metal Man throws gears? Those are metal blades
Ring Man's purpose is to be a ring master at a circus, and Hard Man's purpose is to deal with dangerous animals, that's why he has Titanium and Tungsten armor.
I disagree
Megaman is the stupidest robot master in every game
I looked it up. Doofi IS actually a valid plural form of doofus. Amazing.
"He's a Fidget Spinner for Boomer" i died at that xD
Very nice video, but I wanted to know where are the Roll shirts being sold 🥺
Ring Man is never the stupidest because he has the greatest fighting tactic. Surely one of the most difficult robot masters to beat!
12:14 but i think that napalmman isn't that stupid He can be useful in combat and wars and the end he is a war machine
This video is basically the answer to the prompt: "Tell me you haven't done ANY research on Megaman lore without telling me you didn't do any research."
I'm only at Megaman 2, and between not knowing/completely guesstimating the purposes of the Robot Masters, and referring to the almighty Metal Blades (ehich are metal SAWS) as "gears", this dude ain't got a single diggity-dang clue about the franchise's lore.
The guys just a yapper
To be fair the Lore of the Robot Masters is something most people don't care or don't know about so I'll give my goat the benefit of the doubt.
@@noww446 my brudda, you literally only need to look at the key art for each character to, for example, realise that Metal Blades are saws. Orrr, like, read through the FOUR SENTENCES of intro text presented at the beginning of Megaman 2 to know that the MM2 robots are built for combat by Wily.
NO. RESEARCH.
Dude look into the lore. Crystal man was created by wily to create artificial crystals to make wily a lot of money. Check the lore and comics and manuals they tell you all the reasons the robot masters exist
The guys just a yapper begging for suba
Surprised the mega man 5 gb bosses weren't included
I was doing fine until Chargeman lol. For some reason hearing "He's just a small train that's alive." made me lose it. I'm in tears over here!
As designer of Windman, (I won the Nintendo Power contest along with a Canadian fan) I didn't Invision Windman fighting like that. I was still stoked to see my name in the end credits though. Michael Leader. We didn't get a free copy of the game for winning, however, we had to buy it. We got a T-shirt, a clock of our character with it's name on it, some colored markers and a pin. Not bad.
Wow, that's pretty neat.
MM3 robot masters where made in a collaboration between light e wily,the only one Who comes from space is Shadow Man because of Lore things☝️🤓
The MM1 Robot Masters were all created for industrial purposes. Fire Man is actually made to incinerate trash. Ice Man is just for artic exploration which feels like something you don't really need a dedicated ice robot for, a fire robot would probably be better for that.
All MM2 Robot Masters were made by Wily to kill Mega Man
The MM3 Robot Masters were created to explore space, while Shadow Man was actually found in space and upgraded into a Robot Master
the MM4 Robot Masters were made for industrial purposes by Dr Cossak and turned on Mega Man when Wily blackmailed him
The MM5 Robot Masters were also made by Wily, so they also just exist to kill Mega Man
The MM6 Robot Masters are all combat robots, but they aren't made to take down Mega Man specifically. They were part of a robot fighting tournament
The MM7 8 and Bass Robot Masters are all a mix of robots built by Wily/King and Robot Masters stolen and reprogrammed, so some of them are made just to kill Mega Man and some had a real use
The MM9 10 and 11 Robot Masters all have industrial purposes
Cut man will be useful if paper invades.
Bubble Man helps any hedgehogs who accidentally fall in the water
Hard Man makes people-
Ring Man lets you go to the Special Stage
Napalm Man reduces the global population, lowering the strain that humanity has on the environment.
The Mega Man 6 Robot Masters are essentially the -World Warriors- contestants on Robot Wars, so their job is to beat each other up. With that said, Centaur Man says nay.
Spring Man gets rid of winter and makes way for the summer
Grenade Man is always a blast
Tengu Man (MM&B) is a Yōkai, which means he can get the Yo-Kai Watch series to come back
Jewel Man is probably very rich
Sheep Man dreams of androids
Actually, Fuse Man blows.
Anyway, since he technically counts as a Robot Master if you lore hard enough, Zero is the stupidest Robot Master because he doesn't even know what he's fighting for.
Bounce Man can be useful as a crash testing robot. He can provide feedback on collision and safety procedures.
Ok, do the Smartest ones next. 🎩
Gemini Man would be definitely be on that list. Love that weapon for the fact it's terrific to use strategically.
Another great video, looking forward to the next :)
So, we ignoring the whole "MM1 robot masters killing Mega man" thing? They were made by doctor light to be:
Guts man: A construction forman
Cut man: A lumber tolling robot
Bomb man: A demolition robot
Elec man: A sort of backup generator for the city
Ice man: A robot made to help the arctic in some way (I believe)
Fire man: A robot made to be a sort of high-powered furnace (I believe) all of which are not intended to be violent towards Mega man as they're his friends
i don’t wanna be rude but i think bubble man can actually be used to go on dangerous deep ocean missions that are too dangerous for humans and that wood man is the stupidest
Funny how Mega Man couldn't name Cut Man "Chainsaw Man" but still has the balls to have Robot Masters named "Aqua Man" and "Skull Man"
X1: X1's Mavericks are all incredible in comparison to the average so choosing a stupid one is difficult. I guess if I had to pick one I would go with Spark Mandrill because of how exploitable his pattern is, but that's basically nothing in comparison to most stupid bosses in this franchise.
X2: I mean. Just look at Wire Sponge.
X3: I mean. Just look at Volt Catfish. Why is one of these a catfish?
X4: I guess Cyber Peacock for the stupid face he makes when you use his weakness on him?
X5: Shining Firefly for the sole reason that he created the Flash Laser.
X6: Infinity Mijinion for having a stupid boss fight and barely being an anything. What is he, a flea or something?
X7:I mean. Just look at Tornado Tonion.
X8: I mean. Just look at Optic Sunflower.
Z1: Zero 1's Mutos Reploids aren't very stupid. Anubis Necromancess is comically exploitable and his name is Necromancess for some reason, but the concept of an Anubis robot raising dead robots is just cool and he looks sick. Aztec Falcon only has one health bar for some reason, but I think that's for the best since noobs already think Aztec Falcon is too hard. I guess I'd have to give this to Blizzack Stagroff for having a weird name and being pretty exploitable.
Z2: I mean. Just look at Burble Hekelot.
Z3: Glacier Le Cactank is a pathetically easy boss who looks stupid and is named Glacier le Cactank.
Z4: Mino Magnus is literally stupid and the attack where he splits himself apart is stupid.
ZX1: I mean. Just look at Leganchor. Why?
ZXA: ZX Advent has a few candidates to choose from between diet Sonic the Hedgehog and the creepy gay stereotype rose dude and the voice acting certainly doesn't help. However, Ugoyle and Argoyle exist with their stupid faces. I cannot take them seriously with those faces.
Justice for my boy Aqua Man. Aw yeah!
Would of thought top man would of taken mm3. But you put it in better perspective. Lol. I enjoyed this!! Im gonna sub. First time watcher
Great video as always, Tooterp. I agree with most of this (even if sheep man got flamed).
By the way I have a question about the Mega Man X Legacy Collection. Recently, I bought the game on steam but it whenever I open the game it gives me an error screen window that says "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED: mpStagingBuffer->Map(D3D10_MAP_READ_WRITE,0,&pbuf)"
Do you have any experience with this, because if so I could really use some help. I was really looking forward to playing the X games for the first time in my life. 😭
Late to the party, but Metal Man ain't chucking gears. That madlad is throwing circular saw blades, and those are no joke. Then you throw in the in-game lore of them being of ceratanium and you have some seriously dense and sharp metal. Scary stuff.
Tengu are like Japanese demon birds. I believe possibly a Yo Kai much like the Kappa also known as water imp.
Sheep Man is both the stupidest and the smartest at the same time for being a sentient science fiction novel meme. :p
Meanwhile Blade Man is simultaneously the sharpest and dumbest.
You look like kenny from the starting line lol fun video tho :P
" while hard man is just hard man " 💀
Wait wait wait wait WHAT? Dust Crusher it's Dive man's weakness too? damn in all my life I thought that only Skull Barrier was his Weakness
My own list differs slightly, though some of yours make sense.
In *Mega Man 1,* I think it's Bomb Man (for his use of cartoon style ball-and-fuse bombs, and his body for being shaped like a bomb and blast cloud) or Ice Man (he's the only Robot Master who doesn't look _robotic_ he looks like a guy an a heavy snow suit. He's Captain Cold without the ice gun or snow mask!
In *Mega Man 2,* it's Bubble Man. Not only are the bubbles slow and goofy, he's not very effective outside of water.
In *Mega Man 3,* it's a tough decision between the deadly Snake Man and Top Man. (FYI, Hard Man is a Pile Driver.)
Ring Man in *Mega Man 4* is stupid. No argument there. (I do find Pharaoh Man useful, and in spite of his looks, Bright Man is a more effective Flash Man.)
In *Mega Man 5,* Stone Man or Charge Man are in the bottom 2. Napalm Man isn't stupid, because he (and Crash Man) are more effective at their job than Bomb Man.
"[Ice Man is] Captain Cold without the ice gun or snow mask!"
And in Captain NT Game Master he actually _does_ have an ice gun, making him even more like Captain Cold.
Snake Man was engineered to fit into tight spaces while searching alien planets for the resources (to finish Gamma). In other words, he’s pretty useful.
Hard Man is clearly useful for mining resources. He can blast through rocks and tough materials with his girth, durability and Hard Knuckles. Top Man is clearly far less useful, since the MM3 robots are sent out to gather resources.
Hard Man might be useful for mining resources, but there’s no evidence to support that was what he was created for. In fact, it’s not even known what his original purpose was. He might be as useless as Top Man, in fact, even with his heaviness and Hard Knuckle. At least Top Man was able to easily make arrangements on Dr. Wily’s behalf due to being a smooth talker.
I would like to see the strongest Robot Master from every Mega Man Game
Wait, those are gears that Metal Man throws? I've always thought they were saw blades!
Ngl Centaur man could be an amazing robot for tourist spots in greece since there are so ruins and he could prob carry people on his backs to show them the areas. Also jewel and crystal man can create jewels and crystals which cost WAY TO MUCH
Did you already do ranking the items/Rush attachment
I really enjoyed this video, it was really cool seeing all the MegaMan's after four. That's where I stopped as a kid, but I am now considering getting the collections including the X collections😍
Fun fact the robot masters from 5 work at a amusement park
Where’d you get that from? From what I’ve read, none of the robot masters from 5 work at an amusement park.
I hate your puns
11:53 CHARGE MAN LITERALLY RUNS ON COAL
yesirrrrrrrr
loving the vids!!!
I bet Charge Man will be here again
I was wrong, but i would choose Charge Man
Bubbleman's Bubble is actually Acidic.
Fuse Man sealing attacks looks awesome.
You should do a video about robot masters that could help you IRL (if they were your creations)
What do you think about a video theorizing which weapons would work best in a fighting game?
Wind Man ANNND Air Man? Heat Man ANNND Fire Man? I mean redundancy is crucial in most tech in one way or another I suppose...
I don't think you did very much research on these characters. Many of these guys have literal entries on what their functions are, why they were made, who made them, and you missed a metric ton of them.
ice man would have amazing utility in heavy machinery, as they often require massive cooling systems(same reason airman wouldnt be stupid in the real world).
fire man and heat man on the other hand would be really good in metalurgy oriented tasks. hell, even construction work would be good, with them being able to manipulate metal on site.
air man has the added use of being a test helper for air flow oriented tests. which would be great for airplanes and other wind related task including firefighting, as he could be used to control the airflow inside burning places.
woodman would be a usefull robot for replanting trees and looking like one, could help him blend in as a security drone against illegal lumber cutting.
snakeman, would also be incredible for rescue operations, as he is able to create small drones that could get into tight spaces, helping searches in cases of fallen buildings and cave exploration.
video has 675 likes, hope you kept your word and made the next video ;)
Hahaha Spring Man!!! That was hilarious!!!
I really enjoyed the explanation of what a top is.
A Tengu is a japanese spirit called yokai that can control wind with a fan
Rockman and Forte still can't compare to Ride the Lightning 🔥
My list as a nerd who spends too much time learning about the robot masters:
Mm1: assuming I cant pick the scrapped bond man, who is... Just glue, or oil man powered up for uh... *cough* the serious design flaw on him, i'm gonna go cut man as well. The rest of the lineup is way more important.
Mm2: Wood man, hands down. The entire line was created to kill megaman and um... Wily thought armoring one of these robots with wood was a good idea? Bruh???
Mm3: top man. For nothing relating to his design or weapon or combat abilities or anything. I think he's dumb because he was created to... Explore other planets??? Excuse me? I get his good balance might help in places with wonky gravity but he does not resemble a space explorer in the slightest.
Mm4: I dont take ringman slander, he was made for combat and his ring boomerangs hit hard. Meanwhile... Bright man was just made to light up dark places? Like, i dunno a flashlight? I just- ough, no thanks. This is 20xx there's a million ways to do that.
Mm5: charge man, because he was created, quote, to... "blend in with trains". He also runs on the same things a train does, making his fuel cost extremely high. No thank you.
Mm6: also going with centaur man, his job is legit just being a tour guide at a museum. To quote polygon: "just give the job to a 17 year old they need the money."
Mm7: It could be either spring man or slash man to me, but im gonna go with slash here because he was specifically created to, quote: "clear out forests to build secret bases." and that... Makes no sense. I certainly dont get that vibe from his stage full of dinosaurs.
Mm8: aqua man because he's into dumb toilet human. I love him but i wouldnt be able to stand having a conversation with him.
Mm&b: look, im a fellow enjoyer of this game, but... It is a little odd how cold man is just... A refrigerator. To be fair, one that holds dinosaur dna but... What else? Why would a fridge need to be sentient??
Mm9: uuuuh plug man, he just builds and inspects tvs. thats a bit whatever compared to other things robot masters are tasked with.
Mm10: strike man, easily. He's just a baseball practice machine. This is another job we could give to a 17 year old i think.
Mm11: oooo this is a tough one... But i regretably pick torch man. He looks cool as heck but all he does is teach people about fire safety. That pales in comparison to what the rest of the linup does.
BONUS: mmV: the stupidest stardroid is probably venus because he's canonly stuck walking around sideways and there's no way that doesnt make him an easy target. Not something you'd want on an alien robot invader.
In Megaman 3, I think Shadow Man is the stupidest of them all. How come you being a super cool deadly ninja from outer space become so weak against a dancer?
Creepiest robot masters and thickest robot masters and add guts man thicker
Comment just to put a fraction of my subscription money into each video of Tooterp's I've watched.
Reply to self to put in a vote for that essay about **Pause Menus** you speculated would be a good topic if it didn't completely kill your audience.
You liked the ones in the X series best, didja?
Cutman is stupid because he automatically loses to Rockman
How about Wire Sponge from Mega man X2?
Gyro Man probably shoulda got it. He only got a propeller last minute cuz Wily ran outta cash so he didn’t even have a function
He was originally tasked to take over a hanging garden, which Stone Man assisted with. It didn’t exactly go to plan, but still.
