Background

Tomahawk Man is a combat Robot Master from Mega Man 6 designed with an Aboriginal North American warrior motif. Unlike the other seven Robot Masters from Mega Man 6, Tomahawk Man was built purposely for the First Annual Robot Tournament. However, he was reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him conquer the world, and was defeated by Mega Man.

His main weapon is the Silver Tomahawk, which he can easily throw and hit a target 100 meters away (328 feet, miscalculated as 30 feet in his English CD data), but it moves in an upward arch, leaving a safe area for the opponent. To compensate for this, he can also attack by firing feathers horizontally from his head-dress.

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

Mega Man 6 Tomahawk Man serves as one of the initial eight bosses. Tomahawk Man's battle can be quite difficult, and most of his attacks require some prediction to be avoided. He jumps across the screen to move. He has three types of jumps: a high jump, a long jump (both of them avoided by sliding) and a fake jump, which is just a small hop to get near Mega Man. He attacks with the Silver Tomahawk and by shooting three feathers of his head-dress. Both can be avoided by sliding or jumping over at the right time. On the other hand, the player should only jump to avoid them if Tomahawk Man fires near Mega Man, and not jump if Tomahawk Man fires it from far away, as Mega Man will likely get hit due to the Silver Tomahawk going up or the feathers gaining distance between them. His weakness is the Plant Barrier, which defeats him in seven hits, but as the player has fair enough energy to destroy him with it and Mega Man must get near Tomahawk Man to hit him with it, it can be quite difficult to beat him with the Plant Barrier without taking damage. Rockman Strategy Tomahawk Man appears twice in this game, first as part of a tribe with Napalm Man and Pharaoh Man. Later, he and Elec Man serve as bodyguards to Pisces in North-East Africa, in the level "In a Tornado".

Notable Techniques

• Silver Tomahawk: Silver Tomahawk is Tomahawk Man's Special Weapon. Tomahawk Man sends a fast tomahawk that drops low at first, and then spirals upward. This weapon possesses strong penetration and attack power, and moves like the Air Shooter, in an upward-curving arc, though the Silver Tomahawk has a slight downward dip in its trajectory. If fired so the projectile hits a Tatebo or Shield Attacker GTR from below or behind, it will ignore the shield and destroy them in a single hit. The same is true of Knight Man, though he is not weak to the weapon. The arcing motion and piercing properties of the weapon also make it effective against groups of Wall Blasters II.

Other

Standard Tactics: Tomahawk Man will jump around and throw his silver tomahawk and shoot out three feathers from his head-dress to hit his opponents.

Weaknesses: Has a weakness to Plant Man's plant barrier. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.

Trivia

• Tomahawk Man has a cameo appearance in the opening scene of Mega Man 8.  Strangely, he never uses the move displayed (a slashing melee attack) in the game and there are no trees in his level.
• In Tomahawk Man's mugshot in Mega Man 6, the piece of armor that covers his forehead, rather than being blue, is the color of his skin.
• Tomahawk Man's weakness to the Plant Barrier might be a reference to the fact that flowers are a symbol of peace, since Tomahawk Man was built exclusively for fighting, thus being a symbol of war.
• Tomahawk Man and his stage are believed to represent the United States. His design appears to incorporate elements of both Aboriginal North Americans and cowboys, while his stage seems to be set in the American Old West; additionally, a Tomahawk is a type of axe commonly used in what is now the United States during the 17th century.
• Ironically, the axe wielded by Tomahawk Man is not actually a tomahawk, as it more closely resembles a viking battleaxe. Tomahawks are traditionally made from stone and have only one blade, not two.
