Nice!

 

Whoa

 

It's been a while since I posted any of these, but I've decided for Mega Man 6 I'll just post all the robot masters at once. After all, I already had them all drawn up and waiting for... forever.
Blizzard Man was originally designed to monitor weather in the Antarctic. A repeated champion of the Robot Olympics, Blizzard Man's competitive spirit drove him to enter the First Annual Robot tournament, being retrofitted with the Blizzard Attack-- a device that enables him to create and weaponize artificial snow using the moisture in the atmosphere-- in place of his meteorological monitoring equipment. Unfortunately like the other competing robots in the tournament Blizzard Man was reprogrammed by the enigmatic Mr. X and his new weapon used against the humans he was supposed to serve. Fortunately Mega Man once again rose to the challenge of stopping this nefarious scheme and Blizzard Man was liberated with the others. After being cleared of all charges Blizzard Man found work as a weather forecasting robot, where he found he was quite adept at the task. When not reprogrammed by mad scientists in a bid for world conquests Blizzard Man is quite friendly and exceedingly modest, even bashful. In his spare time he enjoys skiing, though he's admittedly rather poor at snowboarding and dislikes it as a result.


Originally developed as a tour guide for a museum, Centaur Man would be among the robots retrofitted for combat to participate in the First Annual Robot Tournament as Greece's representative robot, being equipped with two different weapons-- the Centaur Arrow and the more powerful (but also more energy-consumptive) "Centaur Flash", which, like Flash Man's weapon, enables him to warp time briefly and give him a chance to inflict greater damage. In addition, Centaur Man can teleport short distances. Naturally all of these attributes turned him into a very real threat when he was reprogrammed and sent on a rampage by the villainous Dr. X, allegedly the man dictating Dr. Wily's every action during his previous five attempts at world domination. Despite all of his weapons Centaur Man was ultimately defeated by Megaman and subsequently restored to his original state. His actions while under the control of Mr. X haunted Centaur Man for some time due to his tendency to dwell on past regrets, but was eventually able to shrug it off thanks to the encouragement of the others previously controlled by X. Centaur Man is very strong willed and fiercely independent... which is a bad combination with his gambling habit. Still, all things considered he's done alright for himself since the Tournament incident.

He also likes Knight Man. Quite a bit, actually.


A Saudi Arabian thermal power robot by design, Flame Man would later be retrofitted for combat to compete in the First Annual Robot tournament and, like the other seven, reprogrammed to serve Mr. X and aid him in his bid for global domination. Flame Man's thermal energy was weaponized by being turned outwards through his cannon, giving him a surprisingly precise flamethrower. Like Mega Man he is able to charge this cannon, enabling to send powerful jets of flame across the ground in an attack he dubs the "Flame Blast." While a formidable opponent, he was ultimately defeated by Mega Man and restored to his original state, allowing him to return to his original job. While punctual and efficient at his job, Flame Man is incredibly demanding. He adheres to a strict routine of changing his oil three times a day in order to keep up his hard work and refuses to deviate from his set routine for virtually any reason. Additionally he will only take oil that lives up to his particular standards, as the prospect of using cheap oil for upkeep makes him positively livid.


Representing Britain in the First Annual Robot Tournament, Knight Man is one of the only robots involved who was expressly designed for combat. Knight Man's track record has earned him quite the reputation-- it is said that he defeated over 1000 robots in his duels leading up to the Tournament. This has made him the subject of much adoration and hero worship, as Yamato Man and Centaur Man can attest (though his admiration of Knight Man clearly extends far beyond that.) While his armor makes him bulky, slow, and cumbersome, he more than makes up for it with raw physical power, durability, and his trademark Knight Crusher, a flail built into his right arm. Knight Man, like the other competitors, was reprogrammed by Mr. X and sent on a rampage, though summarily defeated by Mega Man and restored to his original state. Befitting his design basis, Knight Man is chivalrous and honorable, though perhaps excessively so-- his long-winded speeches regarding honor and fair play have been enough to make Mega Man roll his eyes. If he has any faults, it's that he has something of a single-track mind, making him predictable and thus easy to manipulate even without reprogramming. He despises cheaters and will make sure you know that. At length.


Originally designed to be a one-robot gardening system, Plant Man would be among the robots upgraded to partake in the First Annual Robot Tournament, being equipped with the Plant Barrier, a series of metal plates resembling flower petals that surround his body, kept in place through a powerful electromagnetic field. Furthermore he was given the ability to spawn small drones with which he could overwhelm his opponents. Naturally he became a target for reprogramming at the hands of one Mr. X and was used as a pawn in his bid for global domination, but was fortunately stopped by Mega Man and restored to his original programming. Exceedingly popular in the botanical garden that he was designed to maintain, he's become the official mascot for it. Though sensible, Plant Man is also highly sensitive and prone to bouts of depression. In spite of this he tries to soldier on as a diligent worker, as botany is a passion to him.


Like Knight Man before him, Tomahawk Man was expressly designed as a combat robot, being designed expressly for the tournament itself. Given the motif of a Native American warrior, he was equipped with his trademark Silver Tomahawk, which he is able to throw like a boomerang. In addition, the feathers on his headdress can be fired off as projectiles. Unfortunately for Tomahawk Man, instead of competing in the Tournament for which he was created he was reprogrammed and turned into a weapon for Mr. X. Eventually he was defeated by Megaman and his programming reverted back to normal, though not without doing a fair deal of damage. Cleared of all charges afterwards, Tomahawk Man was left unsure of what to do with his life after the reason behind his creation turned out to be a farce. These days he wanders the American Midwest, offering his help to those in need and maintaining himself through as of yet unknown means.


Developed in China as an agricultural robot, Wind Man was upgraded to compete in the First Annual Robot Tournament. The fans in his shoulders were upgraded for a greater output, enabling him to create gusts of wind at the speed of up to 200 m/s. He can use this to push enemies away or, inversely, pull them towards him so he can attack. Though heavy, the jet engines in his feet can lift him off the ground and enable him to "fly" short distances, enabling him to drop on top of his opponents and effectively weaponize his weight. On top of all this he is an accomplished martial artist. Like the other seven competitors Wind Man was reprogrammed by Mr. X and used as a pawn in his bid for global conquest, but was stopped by Mega Man and had his original programming restored. Despite not needing to eat, Wind Man is a great cook. Air Man has something of a one-sided rivalry with him, as Wind Man doesn't seem to even know the reformed Wily Bot exists.

The third of the robots involved in the First Annual Robot Tournament expressly designed for combat, Yamato Man represents Japan. His armor was designed to be as lightweight as possible so that he could move quickly, though this came at the cost of defensive capabilities. He carries his trademark Yamato spear, which enables him to fire off the tips as projectiles. This is a double-edged sword, however-- the spear has finite ammo, requiring him to manually retrieve all the tips if he is to fire them off again. To compensate for this failing, he is extensively trained in martial arts and other forms of close-quarters combat. Like the other competitors in the tournament, Yamato Man was reprogrammed to wreak havoc at the behest of Mr. X, though he was defeated by Mega Man and brought back to his senses after restoration to his original programming. Grateful to Mega Man for freeing him, Yamato Man has offered the Blue Bomber his assistance should he require it in the future in spite of being on the other side of the globe. Never let it be said that he lied, however-- Yamato Man's determination is immense and if he makes a promise, he will hold himself to it. These days, he works as a silent, watchful protector of Tokyo, fighting to protect the innocent and punish the guilty as something of a Ronin, not unlike Tomahawk Man in the United States.

 

Ayyyy Megaman is back on two fronts

 

Noice!

 

The real question is; are they gonna shoot Mr Lincoln?

 

These awesome robots just fought their way out of Capcom’s dungeon

 

As a fellow Beast Wars enthusiast/guy who's doing a Beast Wars inspired comic, I absolutely adore @NickSeibertron's Beast Wars Future comic and the character designs therein. Since Nick gave his blessing to draw fanart so long as he's properly credited, I figured I'd try drawing a few of them both as tribute and to continue to push my artistic abilities. From left to right: Einhorn, Seaspray, Avalanche/Rupture, Strife and Blindside.

Some of these turned out better than others. I'm pretty happy with Einhorn and Avalanche, I made Seaspray's face a bit too wide, Strife was deceptively simple and Nick I would like to apologize for how I screwed up Blindside please forgive me. his face shape is hard to draw.
