~ Blast Man

Background

Blast Man is a Robot Master who appears in Mega Man 11. He is a volatile robot with a flair for the theatrics and a taste for explosions. He was originally manufactured by B.B. Bomb Company to use his bombs to provide explosive special effects for movie studios and theme parks. While under maintenance by Dr. Light, Blast Man was captured and reprogrammed by Dr. Wily to help him conquer the world and fight against Mega Man. Prior to being captured, Blast Man was creating an explosion-themed attraction for the theme park Flower Land.

Blast Man's Special Weapon, Chain Blast, creates floating bombs that detonate after some time; they can also be combined for a more massive explosion.

Blast Man's stage is set in the ruined remains of a theme park and movie studio hybrid that he has shaped into his personal playground. He's added several personal touches, including a number of signs featuring himself as the star of “Blast Man Adventure.”

Durability: At most Multi-Continent level (Can take hits from Mega Man), Far Higher with Power Gear (Completely immune to attacks from non-power gear Mega Man in this state)

Striking Strength: At most Multi-Continent Class (Potency), Higher with Rage Power, Far Higher with Power Gear

Lifting Strength: Class G (The Robot Masters are normally made to be on par or superior to Mega Man, who was able to hold up Dr. Wily's fortress at end of Mega Man 5, with Robot Masters such as Guts Man being superior in strength and Robot Masters such as Splash Woman having comparable feats such as lifting entire ships from the ocean)

Travel Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Can move this fast compared to Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo, who can travel around the earth destroying evil energy around this timeframe), Faster Than Light with Teleporters (Robot Masters teleporters should scale to Mega Man and Proto Man’s teleportation, where they are able to travel planets and solar systems in a short time frame[13], reaching this levels of speed)

Attack Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Can keep up with Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo in combat who uses attacks that involve his travel speed)

Reaction Speed: Massively Hypersonic Can keep up with Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo in combat who uses attacks that involve his travel speed)

Stamina: Mimics Limitless Stamina (As long as they are powered by solar energy. All Robot Masters bodies are powered by solar energy, effectively giving them limitless stamina and ammo[14][15][16][17])

Range: Standard Melee, Hundreds of Meters with attacks, Interplanetary with Teleporters (All robot masters naturally display teleportation through teleporters interplanetary distances[18])

Intelligence: Gifted Intelligence (Blast Man is a pyrotechnician who designs the explosive effects for movies and theme parks. Can keep up with Mega Man in combat)


Powers and Techniques




Equipment

  • Bombs: Bombs used by Blast Man in combat, they're likely superior to even Bomb Man's hyper bombs due to Robot Masters normally being stronger than Robot Masters from previous games, along with the double gear system.

Notable Techniques

  • Chain Blast: Chain Blast is Blast Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man 11. Blast Man is able to throw bombs that float across the screen, sticking to enemies along the way. Up to four bombs can be chained together and detonated at once to create bigger explosions that deal more damage. Blast Man can either blow up the explosives instantly or wait until the explosives detonate on their own. While the Power Gear is in effect, Blast Man is able to create much larger bombs than usual, which produce the maximum explosion size and damage by default. In Power Gear mode, they do not lock onto enemies and do not tether together to create a bigger explosion.

Other

Standard Tactics: Blast Man hops around the room while slinging explosives everywhere in his attempt to destroy the opponent. He usually alternates between lobbing several bombs in an arc while standing still and jumping high up to chuck bombs downward. Sometimes he'll also jump around the opponent and hurl a bomb right at them. Occasionally, Blast Man will use his Special Weapon, Chain Blast, to spawn four floating bombs which will gravitate towards the oppoennt and explode after a few seconds. When Blast Man is low on health he'll tap into his Power Gear, increasing the size of his bombs and giving them greater explosive force while his attack patterns become more erratic.

Weaknesses: Has a weakness to Torch Man's blazing torch. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.

Trivia

  • Blast Man makes a pun on the Big Bang in one of his death cries.
  • Blast Man has the same name as the NetNavi BlastMan, making him the first and only Robot Master to share his name with a NetNavi who was created before him.
    • Technically, this could also apply to Torch Man, because FireMan.EXE's name was changed to Torch Man for the English dub of MegaMan NT Warrior.
  • Burner Man from Mega Man & Bass was also originally called Blast Man during the game's early conceptual stages.
  • Blast Man is one of two Robot Masters in Mega Man 11 who has a mouth, the other one being Fuse Man.
  • Blast Man is one of the five robots whose stage is centered around an amusement park. The other four are Clown Man, Magic Man, Bounce Man, and Purprill the Mandroid. Purprill is the only one not from the original series to inhabit such a stage.
  • Blast Man's weakness to Blazing Torch is a reference to explosives having the tendency to detonate when exposed to high temperatures, much like Bomb Man's weakness to Fire Storm in the original Mega Man series. Also, a single flame can ignite a bomb's fuse and result with the explosive detonating.
  • Blast Man's line of stating explosion being an art is a reference to a famous quote by Japanese artist Tarō Okamoto, "Art is an explosion!" (芸術は爆発だ!).
  • Blast Man is one of the three Robot Masters whose original purpose was for entertainment (pyrotechnics, in this case). The other two are Clown Man and Magic Man (who originally were circus performers).
  • "Flash in the pan", which Blast Man uses in his second death cry, is an expression used to describe something that might seem showy or flashy at first, but ultimately has no effect at all. This is an allusion to the fact that Blast Man works in pyrotechnics, creating explosions solely for entertainment.
  • Blast Man's English voice actor, Chris Hackney, also voices Auto in Mega Man 11.
  • Blast Man makes a pun on "duds", which are bombs that do not work, in his pre-battle taunt.
  • Unlike the other Robot Masters that has human faces and are light-skinned, Blast Man has a darker skin tone.

    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.
  2. Q. The shots that the Rockbuster fires from the hand, what are those exactly?

    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.

    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!!

  59. 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.
  60. 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…
