Top 10 Mega Man Robot Masters

Ah, Snake Man. His design is cool. There is not much of a backstory or famous point for him, but that's fine. His stage is fun but a bit hard. The theme music is catchy.

When you get to him, he matches you to an easy fight if you have the Needle Cannon. Without it, he may be a bit harder. Sadly, I think his weapon is only really useful on Gemini Man. I wish the Search Snake could grab items, but it just looks weird when you shoot it as well. It may pack a punch, but for flying enemies, which is like a quarter of Mega Man 3, you are better off with Shadow Blade. But still, Snake Man is okay, and he is awesome as well.

Normally, I'm the kind of guy who has an opinion different from others. For example, I think that all six Mega Man games on the NES are the best NES games by far, but many people will disagree by saying that SMB3 is better. However, I agree with most people when they say Metal Man is the best. His level gets the job done even though I prefer Air Man's stage in this game. Metal Man's stage music is some of the greatest Mega Man music, even though I prefer Quick Man's stage music.

He is one of the coolest looking Mega Man robots, and he has a pretty good fight that can be challenging in hard mode (at least without Quick Boomerang). However, his greatest attribute is his weapon. Metal Blade is not only cool-looking, it's very effective for killing any enemy that can take damage from it. The only problem is that it's actually too good, but even then I don't care.

Now, to contradict Ice Man fans, I think Freeze Man from Mega Man 7 is better.

His is the most useful weapon in MM3. I use it more than Mega Man's own weapon after I obtain it. It's also THE weapon to beat all the Skull Castle bosses easiest.

Plus, he was pretty cool in the Archie comic.

In the comic, he is an alien robot ninja. I mean, that's kind of awesome, and his Shadow Blade is amazing.

It kind of sucks that he is weak to Top Man, but other than that, he's awesome.

Best song in the game and a really good power-up!

This dude is awesome. His design matches that of a real Pharaoh. His stage is AMAZING (the theme is too), he appears in Archie Comics a lot, and his fight is fun.

His weapon has to be one of the top three best in the whole series. The Pharaoh Shot can charge to make a ball next to you that can hit enemies, and it can be shot in multiple directions, I think.

Pharaoh Man has an epic and inspired design, an excellently useful weapon, is EXTREMELY cool in the comics, and has a great stage with good music, not to mention having a difficult battle.

Oh, and there was that one time on the TV show where he sucker-punched Mega Man in the face after the blue bomber attempted to steal his power. Pharaoh Man is the greatest.

Cut Man is a great example of World 1-1 syndrome. People use the fact that he's iconic just to justify how good he is. Even then, World 1-1 is a great tutorial for Super Mario Bros. Cut Man isn't that great! I would even go as far as to say Cut Man is one of the weakest Robot Masters in the series.

I have to say, his design is very cute at least. I mean, he looks like a Teletubby! It might look like an insult, but trust me, it's not. His stage is very disappointing. There is not a single memorable thing about it. His fight could have been really good if he didn't take recoil after every hit he received. Finally, the Rolling Cutter is in the category of weapons that are not a torture to use overall, but why would I ever use it outside of a Rolling Cutter-only challenge? Overall, I think Cut Man is overrated.

I know this guy is here because of Chuck Norris memes, but shouldn't he make a huge decline in the list by the time this meme dies? We are in 2019, and he's still number 2!

That being said, Ice Man is decent. His look is pretty simple but effective, his weapon is very cool (no pun intended) being able to freeze enemies and kill them with other weapons, and his fight is very simple but very effective. It's, in fact, my favorite in the game!

His stage, though, is not really good. The flying platforms are annoying, and it's the first to introduce disappearing blocks, and in this stage, they are not well done. By the way, why do disappearing blocks reappear in other Mega Man games? Even when they were tolerable, like in Magnet Man's stage, and both versions of Astro Man (yes, even Mega Man and Bass), if they were out of the game, I would never have said, This game sucks because it doesn't have disappearing blocks in it! 0/10!

He gets my vote for the best Mega Man 1 Robot Master. His stage is the best in the game, his design is the most creative in the game, and the Fire Shield is my personal favorite weapon in the game.

His fight is very bad though! It's one of the worst in the series! It's impossible to dodge most of his attacks until you realize you can just stay in place and jump over his projectiles. Then it becomes one of the most pathetic fights in the series! Basically, it's either too hard or too easy, with the pure balance of the two missing. Even then, everything else about Fire Man is so awesome that it doesn't matter.

Dr. Wily: I need a Robot Master that will be able to defeat Mega Man in one hit!
That one emo Satan worshipper at my high school: Say no more. I got this.

I like his shield better than Woodman's because you can move about without losing it. I wonder what persuaded Dr. Wily to create a Skull-themed robot?

His weapon is basically a better version of Wood Man's.

Elec Man is one of the hardest robot masters in the original Mega Man. His music is one of my favorites in the franchise, his weapon is EXTREMELY powerful, and his design looks WICKED.

Elec Man is my favorite robot master, and if I had made this list, it would have been a different story.

His theme song sounds extremely reminiscent of the song Faithfully by the band Journey.

So, Galaxy Man. You want to be defeated the easy way, the hard way, or the Milky Way?

Amazing stage, amazing weapon, and he's a little UFO guy!

In a galaxy and solar system of his own.

First off, the music in his stage is awesome. Some of the best in Mega Man history. Second, his stage is basically a death trap for those who haven't beaten the worst Robot Master in Mega Man 2.

Third, his boss battle is just so much fun to beat, and it really gives you a sense of accomplishment. Easily a favorite in my opinion.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the Quick Boo... (Recording Ends.)

Quick Man is one of the best Robot Masters ever. He matches the same awesomeness as Shadow Man, and with all those instant kill lasers in his stage, now that's hardcore! The boss battle is sick. I mean, it's completely impossible to just take him down with the Mega Buster. I just have to say that Quick Man is one of the most brutal Robot Masters EVER!

Dr. Wily has a bad obsession with Guts Man. Sooner or later, there could be Gutsman 2.

Have you ever taken him on without the Bubble? Yeesh. I still have trouble with him without it.

Much more than a pretty face and can single-handedly do the entire Coast Guard's job!

A success for the first female robot master!

A big victory for women everywhere.

In the Ruby-Spears cartoon, he nearly killed Mega Man twice. He has a lot of authority over Cut Man and Guts Man. He and Pharaoh Man are the only ones that didn't run when Mega Man took their powers, and he survived his battle against Mega Man.

This guy is a real bad one on the old cartoon. He became a favorite when I saw him on there.

Under-rated and unlikely animorphic android with an awesome, unbelievable ability.

I agree. Cool design, a good level, and gives a good fight, but he needs to have a better weapon.

The developers' answer to us criticizing their robot designs.

Sheep Man has good level design, a good sprite, and a good boss fight, but a bad weapon.

Canonically friends with Snake Man, so he gets credit by association.

Sure, his boss fight is a joke, but at least his weapon is really useful.

Music theme is unbelievably great, as is his iconic design.

Spark Man has a great stage and great music. His power can easily take down one of the hardest bosses in Mega Man 3.

Best war machine ever. I mean, just look at him!

This guy is a total beast that is very powerful and hard to beat.

The coolest master out of Mega Man 2. He also reminds me of Choshinsei Flashman.
