Flame Man

**Flame Man** (フレイムマン *Fureimuman*) is a fire themed Robot Master from *Mega Man 6* originally created to generate a large amount of thermal power, which is also his energy source. Although this is a somewhat outdated power source, it gives him more stability than robots with solar energy. Flame Man was later modified for the First Annual Robot Tournament, his thermal power circuits being turned outward so he can use his immense thermal energy for fire attacks, released in the form of a flamethrower on his arm. With it, not only can he can attack from a distance with searing balls of fire, but he can utilize his Special Weapon, the Flame Blast, to scorch opponents with flames that erupt from the ground.

Flame Man is very punctual, changing his oil three times a day due to his energy source. However, living such a strict routine has made him demanding. He sports a turban and enjoys taking care of his mustache, but is somewhat fussy and dislikes using cheap oil to power himself.

### *Mega Man 6*

In the First Annual Robot Competition, he was reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him conquer the world, but was defeated by Mega Man. Flame Man is one of the eight Robot Masters, and defeating him rewards Mega Man with both Flame Blast and the Rush Power Adaptor.

#### Attack pattern

Flame Man only moves around by jumping high into the air. The distance of his jump is variable between going really far or only covering a small distance, but he always jumps high and can bounce off the walls if he collides with them. In-between jumps, he has two attacks he can use, which are picked randomly. However, if Flame Man uses one attack twice in a row, he will instead do the other attack or jump. His first is to shoot 3 fireballs forward in a straight line. He only shoots them one at a time, but their speed is very slow and Mega man will have to jump over them a bit more carefully. Flame Man's second and more dangerous attack is to utilize his Flame Blast technique. He plunges his buster into the ground and causes various pillars of fire to erupt in front of him. These pillars of fire are slightly taller than Mega Man, but they can block projectiles. The catch is that the Flame Blast pillars are always created in specific spots from where Flame Man is; no matter where he uses it, they will always be in certain spots ahead of him. There are safe spots in-between the Flame Blast pillars that Mega Man can stand in, so knowing where to stand when Flame Man uses this attack is key. It also helps to jump as the pillars come up, so Mega Man can better position himself.

#### Weapon

Flame Man's weapon is Flame Blast, which shoots a fireball forward in a descending arc. Upon hitting a surface, it erupts into a small pillar of flame for half of a second. While it is small and does not cover much distance, it is one of the game's strongest weapons, having a base damage of 4. Each shot uses 1 ammo.

#### Weakness

Flame Man is weak to Wind Storm, which defeats him in 7 hits. The weapon also can pass right through the Flame Blast pillars without dinging off of them. As with all bosses, Flame Man takes 3 damage from a fully-charged buster shot. He also takes 2 damage and knockback from a fully-charged Power Adaptor punch, though it does not affect the fight very much and can only be used in the rematches.

### *Mega Man 10*

Flame Man has a cameo appearance in *Mega Man 10* as data of the Weapons Archive. The block with his data is weak to the Water Shield and Mirror Buster.
