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.

“ | Rockman from the future, modified by Dr. Wily. His weapon is Sakugarne. | „ |
| ~ Quint's data description in Mega Man & Bass |
Background
Quint is Mega Man from a peaceful future that was modified by Dr. Wily to fight against Mega Man in the present in Mega Man II. His main weapon is Sakugarne, a digging robot that looks like a combination of a pogo-stick and jackhammer.
Although Quint serves the same role as the Mega Man Killers (Enker, Punk and Ballade) in the Game Boy games, and the four appear in the same stage in Mega Man V, Quint is not part of the Mega Man Killers.
Quint should also be not be mistaken for Rockman Shadow from the game Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha, who was created at the same time period as Quint and is similar to him, and uses a weapon similar to Sakugarne.

History
Mega Man fights against Quint during the events of Mega Man II, and Quint escapes after the battle. Mega Man faces him again inside the Wily Star in Mega Man V. It's unknown if the Quint fought in the Wily Star was the original Quint or a copy, as several inactive copies of him and the Mega Man Killers can be seen in the Wily Star. In Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha, after Rockman Shadow is defeated by either Mega Man or Bass, he will explain where he came from and mention that Quint was destroyed, although it is unclear whether he is referring to the fight on the Wily Star or some other event. Quint also appeared as a card in the game RockBoard, where he uses Sakugarne to modify one of the opponent's buildings, and he has a cameo appearance in a flashback image of Mega Man II in Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha. |

Powers and Abilities
Standard Equipment
- Sakugarne: Sakugarne is Quint's drilling robot from Mega Man II. Being a modified and remodeled jackhammer robot, Sakugarne is able to smash solid rock to pieces. When used by Quint, he summons Sakugarne to ride him like a pogo stick. Quint does several small jumps while riding him, and can jump higher by pressing the jump button, dealing considerable damage to enemies he jumps on. Quint can also traverse spikes safely while riding him. Quint is still vulnerable while using Sakugarne, and will be damaged if the enemy he jumps on isn't destroyed. Sakugarne digs into an area and releases small ground fragments, harming those that approach him.

Trivia
- "Quint" is a play off of the musical term "Quintet".
- Quint is red and white on the American and European box covers of Mega Man II.
- Quint was referred to as "Quintet" on page 48 of Nintendo Power #34's Mega Man II article.
- Quint's dislike of himself in his English Mega Man and Bass CD bio might be referring to the Mega Man of the present time. The Japanese version also mentioned that his dislike was of time paradoxes.
- In the American and European instruction manuals, it's said Wily traveled 37.426 years into the future (mid-21st century) with the Time Skimmer, where Mega Man was living in peace. However, Mega Man's kidnapping and taking back to the "present" could be an explanation for why he is absent in the future (if Quint is, in fact, Mega Man). The time Wily traveled is sometimes confused as 37 years or 37426 years because of the decimal separator, but the latter is inaccurate as it's beyond later series like Mega Man X, and it's unlikely Mega Man would still be active after this time.
- .426 of a year roughly means 156 days.
- Though it may seem destined for Mega Man to become Quint and meet a poetic demise in battle against himself, this future represents only a possibility. As changes from the past ripple onward into the future, so too might the present stray from this set path.[19]
- In the Dr. Wily's Robots 101 short by Hitoshi Ariga, Quint's serial number is listed as SVN.001 or "Special Variation Number." He is the only known robot in the franchise to be given an "SVN" number.
- In the Robot Master Field Guide, Quint is listed as being DLN-001, likely due to him being a future version of Mega Man who is also DLN-001.
- Curiously, if Quint were to be successful in defeating Mega Man, he would never exist in the first place, and such would never defeat Mega Man, causing a time paradox.
- Basically, Quint will die because Mega Man kills him in Mega Man V. However, he died in a time paradox (getting revived for a battle during 20XX), presenting that he will get revived. However, it could also be that he was a clone on the Wily Star, as several copies of him can be seen in the rooms before him, as well as the Mega Man Killers.
- Quint has 32 HP in Mega Man II, which is unusual for a boss in the classic series games, with 32 HP later becoming a typical value with most bosses in the Mega Man X series, whereas bosses in the classic series tend to have 28 HP in the console games, 19 HP in the Game Boy games, and 40 HP in Mega Man 8.
- Quint's fight in Mega Man II is one of the few major bosses in the classic series to lack a visible health bar or even boss music.

- ↑ 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”…

A.

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.
