Description A redesign of Cut Man from Mega Man. I've always found him to be a bit too non-threatening to be a Robot Master. I chose to give him a more insect like appearance to help with that. I also chose to give him the chainsaw arms because for a robot designed to fell trees, the original really doesn't look all that capable of doing so. In the end, this was really just done for fun.

Nice! But non-threatening? Compared to what? DUST MAN?

Compared to any of the other Robot Masters from the first game at least.

Really nice.

I wouldn't have thought to use chainsaws myself because I guess I associate Cut Man more with 'fixed' blades but it actually works really well.

Great job.

Thanks man.
Cut Man was hard to re-imagine simply because if I wanted him to match the others I had done in sense of style, the scissors just ended up looking sillier and sillier. I guess in the back of my mind I just associate mantises with cutting and chainsaws with tree felling. So I tried to combine the idea and was having trouble making it look ok. Then my wife recommended having the forearms work more like a butterfly knife. In the end I think it came out better than what I originally had thought out.
