Resistance to Extreme Heats, Extreme Colds, & Weather Manipulation (Robot Masters are made to withstand extreme terrains and weather conditions), Mind Manipulation and Soul Manipulation (Despite how active Robot Masters are they do not actually possess the feeling to think, feel, and make decisions of their own as this level of technology wasn't realized until the reploids of the X era. Along with Reploids having something closer to a human soul then any robot Robot Master has. Robot Masters have a "consciousness" though it is different from the standard humans consciousness as it's at the level of a "cognitive circuit" embedded inside each one of them[17]), Cosmic Radiations (All Robot Masters can breathe and survive in space just fine, with an entire game revolving around traveling through space[18]), Information Manipulation & Conceptual Manipulation (Can take hits from characters that can directly interact with, harm, and destroy a robots data, which all robots "true existences" rely on their data, thus as long as their data is stored they can be remade or come back if their data is specifically "SAVED". All data resides in the deep log of each game's data and information of the Mega Man Franchise and many other Capcom franchises, with it being stated that data makes up the characters' personality, memories are data pieces that can be used to materialize hunter programs and also have the feelings of the characters, their data is even what determines their own canonicity in reality, with all characters being considered data alongside all universes being made of data. With data further being explored through here), Plot Manipulation (As data determines one's canonicity in reality and all universes are made of data, one would need to fully change one's data in order to change their narrative. With data further being explored through here), Electricity Manipulation (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from electricity based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it), Heat Manipulation & Fire Manipulation (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from heat and fire based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it and survive the intense heats), Magma Manipulation (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from magma based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it), Ice Manipulation & Absolute Zero (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from ice based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it, even with ice as cold as absolute zero), Gravity Manipulation (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from gravity based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it), Black Holes (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from black hole based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it), Petrification (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from petrification based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it, with the petrification being potent enough to effect black holes), Acid Manipulation & Corrosion Inducement (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from acid & corrosive based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it), Transmutation (Robot Masters and others are unaffected by the effects of the the mystery tank, which turns all weak enemies on screen into extra lives), Space-Time Manipulation & Battlefield Removal (Robot masters are able to tank and survive attacks from the likes of Centaur Flash, which creates a dimensional distortion where he warps space and sends an opponent into a black hole, with even Robot Masters that have a weakness to it surviving its hits and not being sent into a black hole. Robot Masters can also take hits from Cut Man who can cut through space itself and leave dimensional tears that he can jump in)

“ | My name is Rockman Shadow! I am a robot of great power. I will not tolerate anyone who disobeys me! | „ |
| ~ Rockman Shadow |
Background
Rockman Shadow, also known as R-Shadow, is the main antagonist of Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha. He is the mysterious leader of a group of Robot Masters called the Dimensions and is said to be a powerful robot, holding an obsession with causing chaos and destruction, though his true intentions are unknown.
| This dropdown contains the synopsis of Rockman Shadow’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise! |
|---|
|
Rockman Shadow and the Dimensions are first seen attacking Symphony City, a city where people and robots lived in peace. Rockman (Mega Man) took off to the scene, and at the same time Dr. Wily sends Forte (Bass) to investigate. Because of the circumstances, the two team up to fight against Rockman Shadow and the Dimensions. After defeating the Dimensions, Rockman and Forte confront Rockman Shadow in a duel to the death. Rockman Shadow reveals that he came from the future, and briefly tells them about Quint, a remodeled Rockman from the future who was previously defeated. During Rockman's storyline, he claims to be another modified version of Rockman from the future, and says that he came back in time to stop Dr. Wily by destroying all robots at an earlier point. However, in Forte's storyline, he instead claims that he was the other Quint created at that time, and asks Forte to join him and prove to the world that they are the strongest force imaginable. While Rockman discovers afterward that R-Shadow's motive is a lie, Forte concludes that he was also made by Dr. Wily. After being defeated, Rockman Shadow admits that he was a failed prototype of Quint created and ultimately abandoned by Dr. Wily. He states that he rebuilt himself to increase his strength, and devastated the world in his time. As nothing in the future could stop his rampage, he traveled back in time to find someone that could put an end to him: the strongest challengers, Rockman and Forte. With his dying breath, he gives the victor words of advice and soon after dies. While the game depicts his "death" and burial after his defeat at the hands of Rockman or Forte, he is shown in a photograph with the main cast in the end. |

- ↑ 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!! - ↑ 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. - ↑ 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. - ↑ Weapon: Transforming Rockbuster, fires a solar bullet
- ↑ 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. - ↑ PEACE HAS COME TO THE WORLD.
