Description
The Peacekeeper

Megaman returns from his mission to gather the required materials to complete the peacekeeping robot designed by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily, but the result isn't what he was expecting...

The Peacekeeper is a towering combination of the defeated Robot Masters, and each component has his role to play in the giant's functions.

Magnet Man is the de facto leader of the 3rd Generation Robot Masters, not only because of his powerful magnetic ability but also his undeniable charisma that unites the various personalities of his comrades into a cohesive whole. He forms the right leg of the Peacekeeper.

Hard Man's super-dense armor serves to protect the core essential to the Peacekeeper's functions. The powerful boosters of his Hard Knuckle double as a backpack allowing the Peacekeeper to fly.

Snake Man's scheming personality was put in line by Magnet Man assigning him to become the Peacekeeper's head unit. By serving as the cognitive core for the giant's combined personality, Snake Man has a sense of importance that distracts him from seeking leadership of the team from Magnet Man.

Top Man forms the right hand of the Peacekeeper. His excellent sense of balance keeps the titan from toppling over when moving through uneven terrain, and when receiving heavy firepower. Unfortunately his own uncurable vertigo is made worse by serving as one of the Peacekeeper's extremities.

Gemini Man is the team's fabricator. His cloning ability also serves to create the additional armor and servos that allow the team to fully merge into a single, functional body.

Spark Man serves not only as the Peacekeeper's power source, but also as its left arm, capable of delivering powerful shots of Spark Shot during battle.

Needle Man doesn't seem to serve any purpose other than being the Peacekeeper's upper left arm, but as he was the Robot Master mostly built for battle, he has almost unparalleled knowledge of tactics and weapons among the team. He know where to hit, when to hit, and what to hit with.

Where Top Man provides balance, Shadow Man provides agility. With his martial arts programming, Shadow Man gives the combined robot incredible hand-to-hand fighting ability, as well as speed and movement that contrasts its bulk.

I mentioned previously that I didn't like the original final boss for Mega Man 3, the peacekeeping robot, Gamma, which was little more than a large head and a hand. While probably a precursor to Capcom's Versus series bosses Apocalypse and Onslaught, the 8-bit equivalent was highly underwhelming, especially when compared to the personality and style of the Robot Masters themselves.

So why not make my own final boss? I actually designed this combination years ago, when I still lived in the US, and still in the 7th grade. My drawing has definitely improved since then! I wanted to improve on that design, and so redrew the Robot Masters first, before combining them into this updated version. Originally, the Top Man arm part was a drill arm, and Needle Man and Spark Man had switched places. Other than that, this uses almost the exact same layout I used all those years ago.

And I tossed in Megaman and Rush for scale purposes.
