Background

Neptune is one of the first four Stardroids that Mega Man must fight in Mega Man V. He's a bulky, aquatic Robot Master with a half-human, half-fish appearance.

True to his fish-like design, he is a very good and fast swimmer, but he suffers from Athlete's foot while disliking fishing. He also seems to eat salty food more often than not. His weapon is Salt Water, a fluid with salt-like substances that can corrode metal. His weakness is the Spark Chaser.

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

Neptune leaps and jumps high into the air, directly to the other side of the field. This can be avoided by simply sliding below him when he leaps, then attacking when he leaps again or jumps. Neptune then uses one of two attacks depending on Mega Man's distance from him.

If Mega Man is close to Neptune, he will attack by throwing a blob of Salt Water that splits into three small drops of water that deal the same damage the big blob deals. This is very easily avoided by getting out of the way. If Mega Man is far from Neptune, he will start jumping several times to cause an earthquake that makes several salty water droplets fall from the ceiling. The player has to avoid it by moving out of the drops' way and being careful as Mega Man's mobility decreases while the earthquake is occuring.

He is always vulnerable to attacks, but the player should make sure to avoid his attacks before shooting. His weakness is the Spark Chaser, which can hit him wherever he is, while having no disadvantages against him. However, it can be only used on him in the rematch against him in the Wily Star. It takes him out in seven hits and hits him twice if it runs through him all three times that it moves.

Codex Statistics

Grade: A

Tier: At most High 6-A, Higher with Rage Power

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

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[6], reaching this levels of speed)

Powers and Techniques







Equipment

Nothing notable.


Notable Techniques

  • Salt Water: Salt Water is Neptune's Special Weapon. It sends out a large orb of water that, when it hits an object, will split and bounce into three smaller orbs. Because of the splitting nature of the weapon, it is possible to hit multiple enemies with one shot. This weapon is the primary weakness for Mars, Punk and L. Knuckle and R. Knuckle. Saturn and Uranus are immune to Salt Water.

Other

Standard Tactics: Neptune leaps high into the air and directly goes to the other side of the field, either throwing blobs of salt water that splits into three small drops of water or causes an earthquake making acid fall from the ceiling.

Weaknesses: Has a weakness to Terra's spark chaser. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.

Trivia

  • Neptune is an aquatic robot named after the planet Neptune, which is named after the Roman god of the sea of the same name. The latter namesake is the likely inspiration for his fish-like appearance.
    • Neptune's serial number is SRN-009 due to Pluto being inside Neptune's orbit at the time of the game's release.
  • Strangely enough, Neptune is part of the first 4 Stardroids, even though his namesake planet is part of the Gas Giants, where the second set of Stardroids (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto) make their appearances.

    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.

  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…
