“ | Don't get technical! | „ |
| ~ Astro Man |
Background
Astro Man is a Robot Master who debuted in Mega Man 8. His original job was to work in a planetarium, but Dr. Wily stole him and modified him for combat. Astro Man uses his abilities to confuse his opponents and then attack them with either his two orbs levitating around him or his Special Weapon, the devastating Astro Crush. His weakness is Search Man's Homing Sniper, as it can home in towards his location quite easily.
Astro Man has a modest personality and is very shy. He's easily startled and is something of a coward, thus not being very reliable in battle. He is known to be the world champion at hide-and-seek and likes wishing upon stars in his spare time. He dislikes cheap humor and old gags.

General Information
Name: Astro Man, DWN-058
Origin: Mega Man 8
Sex: Male
Age: Unknown
Classification: Robot Master
Species: Robot
Occupation: Planetarium Worker
Status: Alive, Unknown in the X Series (Takes place many years in the future where the fate of prior classic series characters are unknown, with it being implied their data still exists as Cut Man's data exists still)
Alignment: Lawful Good (His original job was to work in a planetarium helping humans and obeying the laws of robotics), Lawful Evil when reprogrammed by Dr. Wily (Reprogrammed by Dr. Wily to help him take over the world and kill Mega Man)
Codex Statistics
Tier: At most High 6-A, Higher with Rage Power
Cardinality: Finite
Dimensionality: 3-D
Attack Potency: At most Multi-Continent level (Potency) (Fought against and harmed Mega Man, who was able to fight on par with beings such as Duo, whose fight with Evil Robot caused a cloud explosion on Jupiter which was at this level), Higher with Rage Power (When Robot Masters are damaged to about half their health, they become invulnerable for a few seconds and perform more powerful attacks)
Durability: At most Multi-Continent level (Can take hits from Mega Man)
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[1], 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: Essentially Limitless 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[2][3][4][5])
Range: Standard Melee, Hundreds of Meters with Attacks, Interplanetary with Teleporters (All robot masters naturally display teleportation through teleporters interplanetary distances[6])
Intelligence: Gifted Intelligence (Worked as apart of a planetarium, showing humans the other planets. Can keep up with Mega Man in combat)
Powers and Techniques
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)
Resistance to Penetration Damage (Takes virtually no damage from tenguu blade), Electricity Manipulation (Takes virtually no damage from thunder claw), Heat Manipulation & Fire Manipulation (Takes virtually no damage from flame sword. Takes virtually no damage from wave burner), Ice Manipulation & Absolute Zero (Completely immune to ice wall. Takes virtually no damage from ice wave)
Equipment
- Projectors: Objects that allow him to congure up illusions.
Notable Techniques
- Astro Crush: Astro Crush is Astro Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man 8. It creates a meteor storm that hits all enemies on the screen, and Astro Man himself is invincible for a short time when using it. Aqua Man becomes momentarily stunned and takes heavy damage if hit by this weapon, and Yadokargo is instantly defeated when used against it. It can destroy a certain floor in Frost Man's stage.
- Copy Vision: Copy Vision is Astro Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man & Bass. When used it, a holographic copy of them appears forward their current position to shoot at enemies. The copy fires twenty-eight shots before disappearing. The copy will also attract the fire and attention of all enemies on screen, including bosses, providing a distraction.
Other
Standard Tactics: Astro Man will fly around using his two orbs to attack, he will also teleport around and use his strong attack astro crush, due to his enhancements from King he will also create illusionary duplicates to attack the opponent along with him.
Weaknesses: Astro Man is weak to Search Man's homing sniper and Magic Man's magic card. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.
Note
- Astro Man does not create universes in the way one thinks, he makes merely a simulated show of a universe as his job was to be an educational robot in a planetarium.[19] A planetarium is a theatre built primarily for presenting educational and entertaining shows about astronomy and the night sky, or for training in celestial navigation. This not being a literal creation feat is further established in the manuals where it is stated that Astro Man simply projects planetarium images[20] and controls the minds of those who viewed the planetarium show he performs[21] likely to make the show more immersive. This is consistent as he has the ability to create illusions of duplicates of himself that can attack and it's also even shown during the beginning of his boss fight in Mega Man 8 that there is a projector that creates the image projection in the background and it disappears upon his defeat. Thus there is no 2-C or really any form of creation feat to scale to here.
Trivia
- There are plans for a robot similar to Astro Man displayed in the background of Spring Man's stage in Mega Man 7.[22]
- When Astro Man uses Astro Crush, the "meteors" that rain from the sky are actually fiery, green replicas of Astro Man himself.
- His quote, "Don't get technical!" may be a subtle reference to C-3PO in the movie Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In one scene on Tatooine, after R2-D2 sasses off, C-3PO replies with, "Don't get technical with me."
- Astro Man is one of four Robot Masters to give Mega Man two different weapons. The other three are Tengu Man (Tornado Hold and Tengu Blade), Centaur Man (Centaur Flash and Centaur Arrow), and Pharaoh Man (Pharaoh Shot and Pharaoh Wave).
References
- ↑ 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?

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.
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!! - ↑ 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.
- ↑ 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…
