Why does Sup Forums hate Shade Man so much?

>Shit boss
>shit stage
>shit design
>shit power
The only good thing is the ghouls and ghosts theme

To hate him we'd have to care about him.

He's bad at drawing cartoon porn.

Someone edit the Winslow post to say >ShadeMan

>Shit stage

Fuck you the pumpkin miniboss was great.

You know why Shade Man sucked? Because his stage had THIS fucker. I hate this miniboss more than any in the series.

Also, Shade Man's weak against springs. What kind of sense does that even make?

He had a neat backstory that showed Wily for the hero he was and how he did nothing wrong.

Does this work?

He's not self-aware like Needle Man, who's the best Robot Master

Applause

I thought only the MM1 robots had actual functions. After that they were only built to kill Megaman

The MM3 robots were built by Wily and Light together after Wily claimed to have changed, so they had civilian functions.
With the exception of, like, Gemini Man, who was just built for experimental tech.

Imagine a vampire trying to bite a spring

The MM2 Masters were the only ones not built with some practical or experimental purpose, except maybe Skull Man.

Holy shit user, 10/10.

If I'm remembering right In two they were built to kill in three they were but by light and wily to help build Gama. In four Cossack built them with a job in mind but was blackmailed by willy so they became innate oriented. In six they were built as part of an international robot fighting tournament. Seven was just combat again but some were built more in a hurry. Specifically Turbo and Junk man bring made out of wily's car and garbage respectively. Eight and ten were infections of existing robots due to evil energy/roboenza. Nine was wily convincing robots destined to be scrapped to fight for their lives

nice

Here's how it goes:
>MM1
Industrial Robots made by Light (supposedly with Wily's uncredited help), no confusion here
>MM2
Robots made by Wily to destroy Mega Man. Some were meant to be upgrades of the first line
>MM3
They were co-designed by Light and Wily. Some were more experimental than others, but they were all basically a crew of space miners. The exception is Shadow Man, who was an alien robot rebuilt and redesigned by Wily.
>MM4
Made by Doctor Cossack, they had practical functions except Ring Man and Skull Man who were made specifically as combat bots to destroy Mega Man.
>MM5
Combat Robots made by Wily. Except Crystal Man, he was made mainly to finance Wily by selling his crystals.
>MM6
Robots form all over the world that Wily stole from the tournement. Some had functons before being modified for combat to enter the tournament.
>MM7
Some were stolen and modifed (like Shade Man, he worked at an amusement park), others Wily built out of spare parts.
>MM8
Same as above, some were stolen and modified, others Wily built himself.
>MM9
They were built by Light and all had normal functions before Wily got to them. He didn't steal them, though, they were scrapped and he salvaged them.
>MM10
Working Robots again that went nuts from a virus.

11/10

MM1 - Light bots reprogrammed
MM2 - Wily bots
MM3 - Light/Wily bots reprogrammed
MM4 - Cossack bots reprogrammed
MM5 - Wily bots
MM6 - Various bots reprogrammed
MM7 - Wily bots
MM8 - Wily bots
MM9 - Light bots reprogrammed
MM10 - Various bots reprogrammed

I do love how in the Mega Man future humans give so little of a shit about the miracle of functioning AI that they build robots for the most insanely narrow purposes.

>Oh, a beekeeping farm? Sure let's build a beekeeper robot!

Is it because he's a pedo?

When your world has people who can create some sorta time stopping tech robots lose their novel charm

That's clown man

SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

>shademan

This

>He didn't steal them, though, they were scrapped and he salvaged them.

The hero we need but don't deserve

Go away, /r9k/. You'll never be part of the glorious Wily revolution. Being mopy all day doesn't make you good at defeating the blue bomber.

MM7 weakneses were retarded all around, tbf. Why is a Transformer knockoff weak to sonic waves

>all the MM9 robot masters ever wanted was to be useful to humans again
>end up being brainwashed into becoming terrorists

>>all the MM9 robot masters ever wanted was to be useful to humans again
>>end up being brainwashed into becoming terrorists
It was a bit more complicated than that too.

They revealed there's a law that when robot masters date expires they are required by law to turn themselves in for recycling, meaning they need to submit themselves to "die" for no real reason. Wily convinced the MM9 masters that they could still contribute to society and then brainwashed them.

It's kinda weird how all the robots in the normal Megaman era already had emotions and feelings, while everyone makes a big deal about androids like X and all the replications of him having emotions and feelings.

It's because they aren't bound by the 3 laws of robotics.

Robot masters and even Mega Man, Roll and proto man are all much less advanced than X.

Why the fuck would youy build a vampire ROBOT`?

Being more advanced is not the reason why Light put X locked away for a century while programs test him and look up if he's a nice guy or not.

He used to be an amusement park animatronic. Wily was pressed for time in seven and made some robots with what was around at the time

I figured that it was because Shademan would get trapped inside the spring and would be unable to fly.

Didja know this pumpkin can be killed 2 different ways? And how you do it determines the path through the rest of the level?

Turboman used to literally be Wily's card IIRC

He was. I love the idea that wily used to cruise around in a rat rod

soundwave superior
turboman inferior

Also, you know. JUNK MAN was probably a hint

It's interesting how more and more trivial the Robot Masters' functions become as the series progresses. The first line were supposed to be revolutionary to industry and research. A few games later, you have Robot Master entertainers like Shade man and Clown Man. Nitro man was just a stunt rider. What is even the point of a stunt robot? You'd think after all of Wily's attacks, people would stop using such advanced and potentially dangerous technology for such ridiculous tasks.

I like his EXE counterpart.

>shadow man

>shade man
>is a vampire

>neither has any kind of shadow-related powers

>shademan

Subjectively, Shademan is also the one Robot Master that is almost entirely a direct pull from of the inspirations behind Megaman- the Golden Bat robot from Kikaider (his whole deal was --at least in the manga-- that he had been the test subject for Jiro's Jiminy conscience circuit and had been given, and then had taken away the ability to distinguish right from wrong and his mindset was forever fucked up from having lost the capacity.) I don't know if this is relatively well known, but Shademan is a huge homage that spills over into rip-off territory.


I though Ringman was a police robot Cossack designed but Skullman was totally designed specifically as a combat model?

Yes. It's how you get Protoman's shield

>I though Ringman was a police robot Cossack designed
That was just in the manga. Game Ring Man was designed to take down Mega Man.

Well, blow me down.

Oh please, shooting the core is the obvious method. Shooting it in the eyes gives weird feedback that isn't immediately obvious you're damaging it.

>guts man
>no powers related to innards

He's a pedo
You see the way he grabs Megaman to suck his Oil?

Think about it this way: the MM robots were intelligent, but not self-determining. They could learn and grow but would only ever find satisfaction performing the task they were built for.

So Cut Man naturally gravitates towards timber felling, because that's what Dr. Light decided Cut Man wanted. When Dr. Wily went full super villain, Rock asked to be turned into a weapon because Rock's a problem-solving robot. He saw a problem and needed to solve it.

X was dangerous because he was capable of choosing his own path in life. Dr. Light hoped he'd choose a peaceful one, so X was sealed in a capsule with simulations that approximated an adolescence. It let his mind grow in a peaceful environment but once the simulations were over X was free to lead any life he wanted. Then Cain fucked everything up by mass-producing war machines without that safety net

Also if you believe Wily was playing the long game too he fucked up the future with his virus carrying death robot
