Top 10 Coolest Robot Masters

First off, this list is incredibly opinionated, mainly because there is no real criteria to determine what is "cool". If some of you out there think Toad Man is the shit, then more power to you. Just don't expect to find him on MY list. So i guess this is just for fun and allows any Megaman fans start thinking of how they would rank their favorites. Keep in mind that I'm basing my criteria off of the character's design, both visually and ability. This list may not contain the "hardest" bosses, but these are the characters I feel look bad-ass, have cool weapons, and can put up a fight. Alright, no more blabbing heres the list

The Top 10 Coolest Robot Masters(in my mind, at least)

10. Knight Man (Megaman 6)
This spot was really a tie between Knight Man and Sword Man from MM8, but I just had to give it to Knight Man because his stage is cool, his design is cool and even if he is easy as hell to beat, he's just cool in my book. This is a number 10 spot that could have gone to any of the characters that will be honorable mentions at the end of the list.

9. Splash Woman (Megaman 9)
I think a majority of Megaman players were a little worried when it was revealed that Megaman 9 was going to include the first female Robot Master to appear in the series. Not because Megaman players are sexist, but because the MM series has been notorious for over the top cliched characters. Some of them are just ridiculous. LOOK WHAT THEY DID WITH THOMAHAWK MAN AND YAMATO MAN FOR CHRIST'S SAKE. So you girls can't sit there and tell me you weren't just as worried that the first female Robot Master was going to come out in a pink fucking tutu. Well, while still a little cliche', we got Splash Woman. A mermaid...ok it really is still girly, but what did you expect. MM has a long tradition of making people roll their eyes so why change that in the reincarnation of the 8-bit series? Well she's actually designed pretty cool and her weapon is fucking sweet. She puts up a good bit of challenge, but, really who didn't in MM9? All in all, she's a cool character.

8. Fire Man (Megaman)
You could tell this guy was gonna be a pain in your ass the first time you saw him. Double Fire Cannons and a torch on his head! Yea, he's got the looks. But, on top of that, he turned out being that pain in ass, afterall. Suprise, Suprise. So when you get to Fire Man you better pray you have all of your energy because this is a knockdown, dragout, last man standing fight. No skill here folks. Equip Ice Man's weapon (which is kinda funny when you think about it...{sigh} lets see, well I guess as the Ice comes in, he melts it and it turns to water which is still coming at him and puts him out...I don't know, why did I think about it?) and start blasting away, trading blows until one of you is dead. That's an adrenline rush, every time. Thanks, Fire Man!

7. Tengu Man (Megaman 8)
Look, I'm not gonna lie, I don't like MM8 very much and if it wasn't for the superior graphics, I don't know what this character would have looked like. What I do know is he looks pretty damn awesome with the PSone graphics. That alone doesn't earn a spot on this list, however, because I feel that the 8-bit characters pretty much kick-ass and still look awesome. Tengu Man is also a douche bag, which DOES earn him a spot on this list. He's cocky, belligerent, and challenging.

6. Napalm Man (Megaman 5)
The name alone says (in an Ivan Drago voice), "You will lose". But he's freaking armed to the teeth, heavily armored, and has tank treads...there is nothing uncool about that. I'm sure many will agree that we wish we had gotten to see a little more potential out of that arsenal and his weapon you acquire is mediocre, but he was still the coolest character out of MM5. (even though I like Gyro Man personally...he had the military thing goin too)

5. Quick Man (Megaman 2)
Megaman 2 is just such an awesome game and the characters were a big jumping point from MM1, but Quick Man is the only one who really stood out for me. I thought Crash Man was awesome when I was younger, but as I grew up I came to realize that they should've done so much more with him. Quick Man, though, is still a challenge for me now. That really says alot. Even though I thought they made him a little too bulky (being Quick and all, ya know), he's still extremely fast and can make short work of you. Plus, the boomerangs are awesome. You, know the more I think about it, he kinda looks like they designed him after the Flash...Quick Man...The Flash...Quick Man is in a game with a guy called FLASH MAN!!!What are they trying to tell us! The Davinci Code is in Megaman 2!!!! OW OW OW my head hurts.

4. Snake Man
I'm sorry for that last outburst. Not to worry, though, I just took two advil and another Vodka shot and its back to work! Woo Hoo! Snake Man! Of course I'm going to like this guy. I go by "Snake", he goes by "Snake", we're practically brothers. Except he's totally badass and I'm hiding in the Internet. Everything about Snake man is awesome though. His little smirk on the Boss selection screen says, "oh yea, baby, eat that forbidden fruit". He's also very durable and it takes quite a beating to defeat him. Not to mention his music is one of the best of the series.

3. Slash Man (Megaman 7)
Wolverine only had a metal skeleton...this guy is Wolverine with a metal BODY. And he shakes down lava onto you. Enough said.

2. Pharoah Man (Megaman 4)
Quite possibly my favorite character in the entire series. Pharoah Man looks awesome, fights awesome, has the best weapon in the game, and has a cool stage and music. End of story. He's wicked.

1. Shadow Man (Megaman 3)
Now please let me state first that in the eternal struggle between pirates and ninjas...I am a pirate. BUT, out of respect for my nemeses, I must admit that Shadow Man is probably the coolest character in the original series. He's a damn ninja. He's fast as shit, suprise attacks you out of nowhere, and throws giant shurikens. That's...just...awesome. Oh wait, Top Spin takes him out, HAHAHA, hoist the flag mateys, all we have to do is blow a little wind on them. Har Har Har...
