MMLC Robot Master List: Guts Man

La deuxième partie de notre série sur chaque robot maître dans le Mega Man Legacy Collection! Aujourd'hui – Guts Man!

Number: DLN-004

Weapon: super bras

Weakness: Bombe Hyper

Un robot défrichage. Il a tout à fait le corps solide. Tant que vous esquiver les rochers il jette, il n'est pas difficile à battre.

With the power to shake the earth around him, Guts Man makes an imposing debut in the original Mega Man. All the other bosses employ some of kind beam or projectile weapon, but Guts’ brute strength is enough to make him a threat. Plus his sprite is beefier than the other bosses, giving him an even more aggressive, powerful vibe.

Like the rest of the MM1 cast, Guts was a peaceful robot designed with industry in mind. Once Wily repurposed Light’s six robots, cependant, it was time for Rock to leap into action.

Besting Guts Man earns you the Super Arm, which gives Mega Man the same rock-tossing ability Guts displays during battle. Unfortunately you can only throw pre-existing rocks and not summon them at will, as Guts does when he leaps around the screen… but I wonder how exhausting it might have been if Mega Man shook the screen every time he jumped. Might get old real quick!

My first impression of Guts Man was “whoa, this guy is huge!” His larger sprite and earth-shaking ability really sold his sturdy, girthy properties, and his tossing animation was a great comic-book-y flourish. His stage is also home to one of the series’ first great challenges – the conveyer belt. After some practice it’s not that bad at all, but I think many, many folks have some, uh, lively memories of trying to leap from platform to platform :3

Patrick “SPAZ” Spaziante ( Archie Comics )

“Being the first MM boss that I had encountered/beat, il occupe une place particulière dans mon coeur. His stage alone, with one of the most controller-crushing platform jumps, forced me to become an MM aficionado, long before I had to reach the exalted Guts himself. But there is something about beating the first boss in a brand new game, (at the time), qui est passionnant, and just cemented my love for the series.

“Du côté de l'art des choses, I also love Gutsman’s esthetic as a kind of jacked up body-builder with a huge mechanical “50« Robot de s” menton de style. Il est un souffle pour dessiner!”

Jamal Peppers ( Archie Comics )

“Guts Man est mon maître robot favori. J'ai eu la chance de tirer deux histoires mettant en scène l'homme Guts pour Archie Comics’ série Mega Man. J'aime grand, personnages puissants comme Hulk ou la chose et Guts Man est Hulk / chose du monde Mega Man.

D'un point de vue de la conception des personnages Guts L'homme a toujours su se démarquer, to me, des autres Robot Masters. I’ve been a fan of Guts Man and his iconic jaw since I first played Mega Man as a child.”
