~ Dynamo Man

Background

Dynamo Man is one of the Robot Masters from Mega Man & Bass. He is encountered in a power plant.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Dynamo Man’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Dynamo Man used to be a robot guide for schoolchildren on field trips through a power plant before his entry into King's army. When King modified him, Dynamo Man was given a power generator that created a powerful electric field around him. This affected his programming (as the power output was too much for his circuits to handle), and he was deemed unsafe for his job. As a result, people avoided him, and Dynamo Man became resentful of their avoidance, as he saw nothing wrong. Dynamo Man's main characteristic is that he can charge himself up with electricity to attack and refill his energy column. In addition to this, he also likes to use his Lightning Bolt Special Weapon to overwhelm and defeat his opponents on sight. His stage is unlocked by defeating Astro Man.

Although he can be doubtful and even incredulous at times, Dynamo Man is honest and straightforward. He enjoys having a private power generator, as it allows him to work as hard as he wants and stay fully charged, but he regrets that it has hampered his social interactions.

Equipment

Nothing notable.


Notable Techniques

  • Lightning Bolt: Lightning Bolt is Dynamo Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man & Bass. Dynamo Man will hover in the air and summon a rain of powerful lightning bolts that cover the entire battlefield. This attack will hit every enemy and object in the area. During use, Dynamo Man is momentarily invincible, allowing one to avoid enemy shots and some moving obstacles (such as the spike traps in Ground Man's stage). The Lightning Bolt can also be used to stall in mid-air, similar to Astro Crush. This weapon is very effective against Cold Man and King, as they are stunned in. The weapon perhaps provides the greatest aid against King Plane, since if the player is about to fall into a pit or a flying platform is destroyed by the plane's fists, it can be used to halt the fall and land on one of the platforms.

Other

Standard Tactics: Frequently throughout the course of the match, Dynamo Man will dash back and forth across the room. He will also shoot out slow moving electric tendrils at different heights at the opponent. Dynamo Man can also create a ring of three electric balls around himself, which will orbit for some time before either being thrown at the the opponent or sent into the ceiling. Dynamo Man will then do his introductory move while attacking the opponent with his Lightning Bolt. Dynamo Man is also invulnerable while summoning Lightning Bolts. Dynamo Man's last combat move is to jump to the other side of the room, leaving a "rainbow" of six electric spheres in his wake. These spheres will launch themselves at the opponent, one at a time, in no particular order. Occasionally, Dynamo Man will jump up on a platform with electrodes on the sides that drops down in the middle of the room. He can charge himself with these, and it will restore his health.

Weaknesses: Has a weakness to Astro Man's copy vision. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.

Trivia

  • Part of Dynamo Man's stage music is very similar to the music played in the Manda Ruins in Mega Man Legends 2.
  • The early design of Dynamo Man is called "Coil Man" (コイルマン), drawn by Hitoshi Ariga. He has a belt with a W on it, and his shoulders and arms are different from the final version.
  • Dynamo Man, Pirate Man, and Astro Man are the three Robot Masters from Mega Man & Bass to not have NetNavi counterparts.
  • Though Dynamo Man's artwork shows him smiling, he does not smile at all during the entire game, even when not in direct combat.
  • In his brief appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog #250, Dynamo Man is shown firing electric bolts from his arm coil, though he never does so during his boss battle: all of his electric sparks and Lightning Bolts simply appear when he summons them and are not fired out of his coil or shot directly at the player.

  1. PEACE HAS COME TO THE WORLD.
    Dr. Wily has reformed, and he and Dr. Right have joined forces, working together to develop a giant peace-keeping robot named “GAMMA”.
    “GAMMA”…… It was the life-long dream of Dr. Right, a giant robot to protect and serve world peace.
    Their research almost complete, all that remained was to combine 8 energy elements that were scattered about the uncharted planets, and bestow them to “GAMMA”…
    –However, each planet met with an unexpected incident. The robots who were mining the energy elements suddenly began going berserk!! Upon learning of this from Dr. Right, “ROCKMAN” immediately set out on a path for the uncharted planets–a new battle was about to begin!!
  2. Q. What kind of foods does Rockman like to eat?
    A. Well… Actually, Rockman’s body is powered by “Solar Energy.” Therefore, he doesn’t really eat, but there are some things that are okay for his consumption… Around the lab, he enjoys drinking “Energy Juice.” As responsibly as he behaves, he’s still a kid after all.
  3. Q. The shots that the Rockbuster fires from the hand, what are those exactly?
    A. The Rockbuster on the arm fires something called a “Solar Bullet”, essentially emitting a compressed form of solar energy that’s very powerful.
  4. Weapon: Transforming Rockbuster, fires a solar bullet
  5. Q. Do robots like those made by Dr. Wily or Dr. Cossack have self-awareness, and can they talk? And do they run on solar energy like Rockman does?
    A. I take it you’d like to know if Wily and Cossack’s robots possess “sentience”? Naturally, they each have a “consciousness”, although the level of every “cognitive circuit” embedded inside each one of them varies, producing as many different “personality” types as found in people… Just like you or I, they can speak, and have emotional responses like shyness, or anger, just as we do.
    Regarding their energy systems, many of them do utilize “solar energy” in some way.

  47. By swapping out the program data of all the robots Dr. Wily has constructed, this robot is able to adapt other robots’ moves as its own. With the powers of all robots combined into one, this is truly one dreadful robot.
  48. This all-purpose robot can take on the same abilities of every other robot merely by switching its program data. Still, if it just copies the powers of robots that Rockman has already been able to defeat, one might expect for Rockman to overcome them again…
