Background

Gyro Man is a Robot Master created by Dr. Wily that resembles a helicopter. He was originally planned to have a flying device, but it was replaced by a propeller built into his back due to cost issues (some sources say Wily's original design failed and he used a propeller because he was out of money - a theory that also supports the origins of Crystal Man). Gyro Man actually prefers this type of flight.

In Mega Man 5, he was ordered by Dr. Wily to take over a hanging garden and obtain money from the admission fee, but the attendance dropped as soon as he took over and Gyro Man became bored. His weapon is the Gyro Attack, small propeller-shaped cutters that can be controlled to move sideways, upward, or downward. He can't stand changes in gravity as they put stress on his propellers; not surprisingly, his weakness is Gravity Hold.

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

Mega Man 5 Gyro Man is one of the eight bosses. He has two attacks. While on land, he attacks with Gyro Attack. To avoid it, the player has to jump over it to the side it comes, or jump over it and return to his position. Any of these options will make the Gyro Attack miss and leave Gyro Man vulnerable to attacks. When he flies above the clouds, he will fire a Gyro Attack from above and then try to dive into Mega Man. The player has to slide from side to side to avoid the Gyro Attack if it comes above him, and/or jump over it so it misses, and after that, slide to the side Mega Man has less space then slide to the other side so Gyro Man lands and misses, leaving him vulnerable to attacks, and Mega Man has a lot of space to dodge his next attack. His weakness is Gravity Hold, which can hit him regardless where he is, but as the player has fair enough energy to destroy him, it is better not to use it on his level, so the player comes with a full weapon bar to defeat him. Gravity Hold can destroy Gyro Man in seven hits. Mega Man: The Power Battle Gyro Man is one of the six bosses from the "Mega Man 3~6" course. He will throw a Gyro Attack when on ground. Later on, the screen will move and will try to dive at Mega Man and doesn't use the Gyro Attack unlike in Mega Man 5. He will also then double himself. Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters Gyro Man is one of the six bosses from the "Search for Wily!" course. He behaves like the previous game, except he fires four Gyro Attacks at once and will shout "Jairo Atakku!" when he charges at the player character. He also has his propeller to defend him. Plant Barrier is his weakness.

Powers and Abilities

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Stealth Mastery (Gyro Man uses his flight capabilities to hide out in the clouds and initiate a sneak attack), Weapon Mastery (Uses a spinning, propeller-like blade known as the Gyro Attack), Self-Sustenance (Respiratory Self-Sustenance, Nutritional Self-Sustenance, & Restful Self-Sustenance; All Robot Masters can breathe in space just fine, with an entire game revolving around traveling through space and as robots do not require food, sleep or sustenance), Inorganic Physiology (Non-Living Objects; Robot Masters are highly developed robots in the fields of robotics. 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), Rage Power & limited Invulnerability (Physical Invulnerability; When Robot Masters are damaged to about half their health, they become invulnerable for a few seconds and perform more powerful attacks), Absorption (Robot Masters are built in with usages of solar energy to charge their bodies and use their weapons essentially limitlessly), Psuedo-Teleportation, Transformation, Light Manipulation, Intangibility (Phasing/Elemental), Transmutation (Transformative Arsenal) & BFR (Application Based; All robot masters naturally display teleportation through teleporters interplanetary distances, they do this through transforming into a beam of light, they can use this in the middle of combat to turn intangible and phase through attacks. They can also transform others into a beam of light and send them to other places with the teleporter, essentially removing them from the battlefield), Consciousness Transferal (Robot Masters can transfer their consciousness into other bodies and machines, with characters like Doc Robots having the Robot Masters programs and data directly installed with them, essentially acting as a more powerful body), Divine Protection (After defeating ViA■ and destroying the Robot Destroy Program within him, The Player was able to fully correct the Deep Log in its entirety. However, Via says The Player's story isnt over and RiCO repeats this and says that there will be future program errors in the Deep Log for them to correct and it would be insecure for her alone to manage it alone. Therefore to solve this problem that can happen in the future, RiCO will summon The Player in order to correct any irregular data in the Deep Log as she did in the start of the game), Immortality (Regenerative Immortality; Through robots and reploids ability to regenerate back their body and data. Immortal Metaphysical Aspect; Robot Masters can survive wounds such as being cut in half, with ones such as Proto Man calling it merely "just a scratch", being able to come back just fine after teleporting away to be repaired. Reliance on Concept; 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". With data further being explored through here), Regeneration (Mid through Cartoon Physics; Can regenerate from being crushed by Mad Grinder. Should scale to all the other Robot Masters who all regenerate after being flattened in Mega Man Powered Up. High-Godly through their data; In Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha, Rockman Shadow's data comes out of his deceased body and regenerates a new body at the very end post-credits of the game. In Mega Man Xtreme, Sigma was trying to reproduce the past data of several mavericks in the mother computer to bring havoc to the world's peace and the only way the past data of previously defeated Mavericks from X1 and X2 could be stopped is if X goes inside as his data form. Inside the Mother Computer, X defeats Vile's data form along with the data forms of a bunch of mavericks he has previously defeated. However, despite defeating their data form, their data is still are able to come back for the rematches at the end of the game along with Vile being back in the hard mode's post game story. Despite destroying Vile's data twice, he was still able to come back and better then ever in Mega Man X8. In Mega Man ZX, Omega's soul data along with flashes of the past battle in Zero 3 are trapped in area O and even after defeat, he can come back without limit even after obtaining Model OX which contains his soul data. With data further being explored through here), Resurrection (Robots that are fought and defeated are able to be brought back as long as they still have their data, with this also extending to reploids being able to come back for rematches. With data further being explored through here), Information Manipulation & Conceptual Manipulation (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), Mechanical Flight (Uses his built in propellers to fly), Homing Attack (With the Gyro Attack, launches a spinning, propeller-like blade that is capable of changing course to follow its target), Teleportation (Able to teleport around), Afterimage Creation (Can move so fast he creates afterimages).

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), Cosmic Radiations (All Robot Masters can breathe and survive in space just fine, with an entire game revolving around traveling through space), 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".

Trivia

• Gyro Man, along with Crystal Man, are the only two bosses in Mega Man 5 to take damage from each and every weapon.
• "Greek Sandwich", Gyro Man's "like" in his English CD data, is likely a pun on the name of the gyro (pronounced "ghee-roh") sandwich.
• Jupiter's quote, "Clear my way, you propeller scum!", probably refers to Gyro Man.
• If the ceiling in his room is removed with a cheat device, he will fly above the screen, causing him to die, and Mega Man will be trapped in his room unless the player resets the game. [1]

Sky High Wing

• The extra part "Sky High Wing" from Mega Man: Battle & Chase resembles Gyro Man's propeller.
• Gyro Man's dislike of jet engines may be related to differences in cost when compared to propellers. Jet engines are expensive and fast, while propellers are cheaper and a bit slower.
• Gyro Man looks remarkably similar to Tornado Man, as they are both green with a propeller somewhere on their body.
