Background

Air Man (エアーマン Eāman) is a Robot Master from the Mega Man series created by Dr. Wily specially for combat, debuting in Mega Man 2. Air Man's main method of attack is to generate powerful winds with the propeller in his torso - in particular, he is able to push enemies away or pull them or other items towards him, generate typhoons, and can use his Special Weapon, the Air Shooter, to attack foes with rapid barrages of tornadoes.

Travel Speed: FTL (Can move this fast compared to Mega Man, who can outrun black holes from robot masters such as Saturn and Galaxy Man), Far Higher 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)

Combat Speed: Massively FTL (Can keep up with Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo in combat who uses attacks that involve his travel speed, where Duo is capable of traveling through galaxies while doing his job and likely travels across the universe doing his job to destroy the Evil Energy)

Reaction Speed: Massively FTL (Can keep up with Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo in combat who uses attacks that involve his travel speed, where Duo is capable of traveling through galaxies while doing his job and likely travels across the universe doing his job to destroy the Evil Energy)

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 Range, Hundreds of Meters, Interplanetary with Teleporters (All robot masters naturally display teleportation through teleporters interplanetary distances[6])

Intelligence: Gifted (Can keep up with Mega Man in combat)


Powers and Abilities

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Self-Sustenance (Types 1, 2, & 3; All Robot Masters can breathe in space just fine, with an entire game revolving around traveling through space[7] and as robots do not require food[8], sleep or sustenance), Inorganic Physiology (Type 2. 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[9]), Rage Power & limited Invulnerability (Type 1; 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[10][11][12] are built in with[13] usages of solar energy to charge their bodies and use their weapons essentially limitlessly[14]), Psuedo-Teleportation, Transformation, Light Manipulation, Intangibility, Transmutation & BFR (Type 3 [Transformation], Type 2 [BFR], & Phasing/Elemental [Intangibility]; All robot masters naturally display teleportation through teleporters interplanetary distances[15], 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), Hive Mind (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[16][17]), Immortality (Type 3; Through robots and reploids ability to regenerate back their body and data. Type 6; 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. Type 8; 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. Mid-Godly through their data; 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 (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". With data further being explored through here), Size Manipulation (Shown here) Air Manipulation (With Air Shooter. Can also make himself a tornado),

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[18]), Cosmic Radiations (All Robot Masters can breathe and survive in space just fine, with an entire game revolving around traveling through space[19]), 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), Time Stop (All Robots Masters in Mega Man 2 have built in devices making them immune to time stop, however Quick Man's has an error and hurts him instead), Explosion Manipulation (Completely immune to the Crash Bomber, an explosive device), Water Manipulation (Completely immune to the Bubble Lead), Air Manipulation (Completely immune to the air shooter)


Standard Equipment

None Notable


Notable Techniques

  • Air Shooter: Air Shooter is Air Man's Special Weapon. It causes air to become tornadoes, being used to fire several small whirlwinds that spread out and rise upward, making it an effective weapon against airborne enemies. Formerly, the Air Shooter's system was used in a kite flying attempt that apparently failed.

Other

Standard Tactics: Air Man manipulates the wind to prevent people from approaching while also sending small tornadoes at his opponents. He can also absorb Junk or enlarge his propeller to use as a shield.

Weaknesses: Leaf Shield and Super Arm since it clogs his propeller. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.

Trivia

  • Air Man and Wind Man are rivals.
  • One of Air Man's minions, Matasaburo, was based on him.
  • Air Man is the first robot master to have one arm cannon.
  • Air Man was set to appear in the cancelled game Mega Man Universe.
  • Wave Man from the DOS version of Mega Man 3 is almost directly based off Air Man.
  • Air Man is considered one of the hardest bosses in the series due to his random projectile patterns, sometimes even resulting in him shooting them in a way that makes them impossible to avoid without glitches.
  • The infamous Airman ga Taosenai is based on one player's struggles with beating Air Man.
  • Air Man's fan blades are bright blue in his artwork, but due to the color limitations of the NES, they are yellow in his Mega Man 2 sprite.
  • If Mega Man is standing on Item-1 during the battle with Air Man in the NES version of Mega Man 2, he will not blow his tornadoes.
  • If Mega Man is hit with an Air Shooter while standing on Item-1 next to the boss gate, a glitch will occur, transporting Mega Man to a glitchy location that is similar in layout to Wily Stage 2. The level cannot be cleared, thus forcing the player to reset the game.

Referneces

  1. 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!!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Weapon: Transforming Rockbuster, fires a solar bullet
  5. 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.

  16. 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.
  17. 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…
