Background

Burst Man is a Robot Master from Mega Man 7 that was originally created to guard a chemical plant in Edo City, but was stolen and modified for combat by Dr. Wily. His body has several explosives and soapy substances (much to Turbo Man's dismay), which he can use to attack by encasing enemies in bubbles or using the Danger Wrap, a bomb encased in a bubble. Because of the liquid substances in his body, he is vulnerable to sudden changes in temperature. He is weak to both Freeze Cracker and Scorch Wheel and drops several bombs when hit by them.

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

Mega Man 7
Burst Man is one of the initial four Robot Masters that Dr. Wily had sealed away in the event of his arrest. After helping to break Wily out of prison at the start of the game, he was later defeated by Mega Man in a chemical plant, with Mega Man obtaining his weapon. He is later fought again in the Wily Castle.

Rockman Strategy
Burst Man first appears along with Bubble Man and Stone Man to challenge Rockman's party atop a broken bridge. He then appears in Northwest Africa's Magma Inferno, joining Fire Man as one of Sagittarius' guards.

Powers and Techniques




Equipment

Nothing notable.


Notable Techniques

  • Danger Wrap: Danger Wrap is Burst Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man 7. When equipped, Burst Man releases a bomb inside a bubble that travels upwards, which can trap certain enemies (including Cloud Man) in the bubble while the bomb inside it explodes. The player can also push the bubble if there is an enemy inside, causing considerable damage to another enemy if hit. If the player holds down on the D-Pad and presses the fire Button, Mega Man merely places a bomb on the ground in front of him. Up to three of these mines be on the screen at a time. Danger Wrap is the only weapon that can destroy the Spiral Gabyoalls which any other weapons will otherwise paralyze it briefly.

Other

Standard Tactics: Burst Man will shoot out several bubble encased explosives, if he takes damage, several explosives will fall onto the floor, likely overwhelming his opponent.

Weaknesses: If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.

Trivia

  • His personality closely resembles Bomb Man's; they both like festivals, bombs, and fireworks.
  • His weaknesses to the Scorch Wheel and Freeze Cracker reference to how bubbles need a suitable environment to maintain their form; being either too hot or too cold without a good degree of moisture and humidity results in them quickly dissipating.
  • Burst Man and Spring Man are the only two Robot Masters in Mega Man 7 that neither have a Mega Man Battle Network series counterpart nor appeared in Mega Man: The Power Battle and its sequel, Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters.
  • Burst Man and Slash Man both share the same weaknesses, Scorch Wheel and Freeze Cracker, Turbo Man and Freeze Man's respective weapons.
  • Burst Man is unique in that he's the only Robot Master in Mega Man 7 with an immunity to Super Mega Man's Hyper Rocket Buster.

  1. Dr. "I’m Always" Right Breaks It Down 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  6. 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!!

  52. 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.
  53. 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…
