Description Chimeraman of the Evil Eight. He has the legs of Quickman, the torso of Shadowman, the right arm of Hardman, the left arm of Gutsman, and the head of Geminiman.

The original sprite of this guy had some very odd colours. They were a jumbled mismash, as you'd expect from a frankenstein monster such as this, but the colours didn't even correspond to the parent robot parts! The legs were grey, the torso was green, and the left shoulder was blindingly yellow. Lennon's excuse is that these were his early days of spriting and pallettes weren't his forte.

I opted to go back to the original RM colours, save for the head. It's still a gaudy mess of primaries, but at least this gaudy mess makes sense in context. I kept the head yellow and black, since that's a defining trait for Chimeraman. It would have looked just too strange to make him suddenly have a perfect Geminiman head replica there.

Chimeraman was designed by Lennon of the Mechanical Maniacs based on characters by Capcom. Drawing by me.

Perhaps the primary-colourness will scare the weaker Mechaniloids away?
