Description
A quick change of pace, here's a set of three original Megaman style bosses I made a good while back, lines and color.A programmer friend of mine, and fellow cohort from the Dream Saga project, went through the trouble of entirely recoding Wood Man's level from MM2, and wanted really hard to try and code an entire Mega Man game. Instead of just copying all the old bosses though, he really wanted to do some new ones, so I was asked to work on a set of three to go with Wood Man and make a group of 4. Seriously, when given the shot, I could make up new Megaman bosses all day. I did it all the time as a kid. Ski Man ftw!
I made these guys so they'd be styled in the old fashion of Robot Masters, so they aren't as elaborate as guys like Search Man and Turbo Man, but I still like them a good deal.
I actually had thought of nifty little attack plans for them in the vein of the old games, and I almost tried to make some old 8-bit style sprites of them too, but time ran out for me and the project never got too far off the ground. If we had moved a little farther with it, I had a pool of other designs in my head to complete a set of 7, with maybe one other old cameo to round it out to eight. I still really wanna finish Candle Man's design, oh yeah!
At least the Wood Man level was still completed though, so props to that.

What fine designs. They are all good, but my favorite is Tidal Man. He looks like a cool water dude.

Running, jumping, and making copies of himself.
Crash Man eh? Y'know, I've seen some pretty wacky Crash Man artwork out there.

I've seen a few interesting takes on an Acid Man. I'm really surprised Capcom hasn't made one, or an equivalent yet. I was totally expecting Pump Man to be like, Sludge Man or something.

Yeah, very surprising. Guess Capcom thought that acid was too good and obvious a weapon to use for a robot master.

I really like SilverMan. I wonder how he would attack though.
I have a hard time thinking up Megaman bosses. I want them to have that certain look to them, but not so it looks like a mix between two bosses or something.

XCBDH In reply to Ross-Irving [2008-11-25 00:34:41 +0000 UTC]
Megaman bosses are fun to think up aren't they? Don't be too discouraged if they kinda resemble somebody, since making Megaman characters is kinda limiting, but it is good to try and be as original where possible. Thanks for the comment.
Concerning my ideas on Silver Man, I think in this drawing I gave him a buster gun, but I pretty much retconned that now since he doesn't really need to use it.
His weapon is the "Silver Decoy," basically allowing him to make impenetrable statues of himself on the spot. I imagine he runs around and plops these in his place whenever Megaman tries to hit him, blocking Megaman's fire in the process. After he makes about three, he would try to direct them into Megaman, and that would be your chance to attack. He's designed with an 8-bit mindset, so I don't think it needs to get much crazier than that.
In Megaman's hands, I imagine it as a projectile weapon where Megaman fires statues of himself, in whatever pose he's in, that barrel through enemies. Use this to take out Tidal Man.

Damn. I couldn't even think of any sort of "battle plan" for SilverMan when I saw him, yet when you explained it to me it made so much sense. I'll be sure to keep what you said in mind. Thanks a lot.

A while back, I made someone like Tidal Man called Tide Man. I think that the weirdest thing about him is that he can't stand water. He deals nicely in it, but he performs better on land.

XCBDH In reply to Sphadis [2008-10-27 07:53:44 +0000 UTC]
That's pretty much exactly how I pictured my Tidal Man. He hates water, and would fight Megaman on a platform that floats as he causes the water to rise and fall.

Acid Man is my favourite of these three by a long shot. Not saying the other two are bad, no not at all, he just stands out from them. Real menacing look to him.
Plus, come on, he's got acid for a weapon.

Tell me you're excited about MM9!!!!
Seriously though, eight new guys and I can still hold some reigns to Acid Man?! Crazy! In fact, I finished my list of 16 originals a while back, and it turns out not a one of them was picked for the current roster yet. I certainly lucked out there! I think we've all got a few we're waiting for, don't we?
Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Yeah, Acid Man would be pretty nasty, but I guess Fire Man wasn't too much better to begin with. Or yeesh, Cut Man even.
You really gotta give credit to Megaman and the kinda tough junk he puts up with.
