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 & BFR (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)

| ~ Ground Man |
Background
Ground Man is one of the first three selectable bosses in Mega Man & Bass, alongside Astro Man and Cold Man. He is a Robot Master created by King to excavate ruins, but sometimes hoards treasure that he finds for his own personal collection without consulting his leader. He likes excavating with a passion and only stops when he is ordered to do so. He is said to be the most powerful robot in King's army. His Special Weapon is the Spread Drill, a drill-like missile that can separate into smaller drills. He can also transform into a small drill-shaped machine, being invincible during the attack, and uses a giant drill when in the ceiling.
Ground Man is inhospitable and rarely speaks, but he is a deep thinker. He enjoys finding rare treasures while excavating, and he dislikes coarse ground and underground water, which get in the way of his work.

|---|
|
Ground Man's main method of movement is by jumping towards the player. Ground Man can dig into the ground, reappearing in another place, fire off a Spread Drill that splits into smaller drills as it travels, transform into an invincible drill tank that moves across the ground, changing directions three times, or jump into the ceiling, moving after the player and using a gigantic drill to attack them that has to be dodged by sliding or dashing out of the way. Remote Mines prevent Ground Man from digging into the ground or ceiling, and are Ground Man's weakness. |

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)

Powers and Techniques
Resistance to Penetration Damage (Completely immune to the spread drill), Electricity Manipulation (Takes virtually no damage from lightning bolt), Heat Manipulation & Fire Manipulation (Takes virtually no damage from wave burner), Ice Manipulation & Absolute Zero (Takes virtually no damage from ice wall
Equipment
Nothing notable.
Notable Techniques
- Spread Drill: Spread Drill is Ground Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man & Bass. When equipped, the user shoots out a big drill missile, which upon pressing the FIRE Button again, will split into two smaller drills. When the player presses the FIRE button again, the two drills can then be split again into two smaller drills each for a total of four small drills. If the first drill is not split by the user, it will slowly fall down after a while, but the other drills move straight forward. Certain blocks can be destroyed with this weapon.
Other
Standard Tactics: Ground Man will move around and transform into a vehcile to ram into an enemy or burrow underground and attack the enemy from coming out of the ground for a surprise attack, along with shooting out his spread drill.
Weaknesses: Has a weakness to Pirate Man's remote mine. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.
Trivia
- Ground Man was originally called "Drill Man" by his designer, Rockman X author Iwamoto Yoshihiro. As there was already a Drill Man in Mega Man 4, his name had to be changed.
- Some changes made to his appearance included removing a W from his forehead and drills from his finger tips. The former was possibly done to prevent players from discovering Wily was involved before the confrontation with King in his castle.
- Ground Man is one of the few Robot Masters that can transform into a vehicle. Others include Turbo Man, Galaxy Man, and Nitro Man.
- His quote, "I hate sand," may be a subtle reference to Anakin Skywalker and his infamous line, "I don't like sand," from the 2002 movie Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones.
