Ed Ranks Mega Man 2 Robot Masters

Great game. Crap box art.

In the year 200X, a super robot named Mega Man was created. Dr. Light created Mega Man to stop the evil desires of Dr. Wily. However, after his defeat, Dr. Wily created eight of his own robots to counter Mega Man.

These are those Robot Masters (level bosses), ranked.

8. Wood Man - Hahaha, WOOD MAN? It sounds super easy to defeat a robot made out of wood. Heat Man's Atomic Fire should work pretty well. Maybe throw some water on him so he warps. Or just smash him in the face with an axe. Who makes a robot out of wood?

7. Flash Man - Flash Man sounds like he's a robot designed to open up his trench coat in public, revealing nudity beneath it. Dr. Wily is probably crazy enough to design a robot like that. Although I'll admit, that Time Stopper he drops when you kill him is awesome. Although you can't use it on bosses. And why do we need a Flash Man and a Quick Man?

6. Crash Man - Crash Man is a forgettable Robot Master. If I wasn't looking at the Mega Man Wiki website, I wouldn't be able to name him. The weapon he drops for you is also that weird bullet that looks like a spinning top. I never really used it.

5. Quick Man - Heh, Quick Man. I feel really bad for Mrs. Quick Man, AMIRIGHTPEOPLE? Although Quick Man has that awesome thing on his head that makes him look like a Gundam Robot. And he throws Boomerangs. So he's obviously an Australian Robot.

Oh yeah, this level was fun/annoying.

4. Bubble Man - Bubble Man is the water one. Water levels are always cool. Plus I used that Bubble Weapon his his a lot. Against more enemies than just Heat Man.

3. Heat Man - Heat Man could be cooler. Uhh... I mean HOTTER? In theory, the villain who throws fire at people should be ranked #1. And his Atomic Fire weapon that he gives you to face other enemies is sort of nice. But his graphics make him look a little bit like he's a yellow jack-in-the-box. And the square picture of him on the main screen makes him look like Krang with a learning disability. Still #3 though, not too shabby.

2. Air Man - A lot of walkthroughs tell you face Air Man first, but I always found his level super difficult. All the Robot Masters drop weapons that help you defeat other Robot Masters. So one of the guys you got to face first before you get any special weapon. The bottom line though: Air Man has a giant spinning blade as his chest. AWE-SOME.

1. Metal Man - Not only the coolest name, but also the coolest look and the coolest weapon. Metal Man sounds like he plays lead guitar for Overkill, looks like a samurai with a saw blade on his helmet and THROWS SAW BLADES AT PEOPLE. AGHHH!!!! SAW BLADES!!!!  I always faced Metal Man last after the other seven. This dude was the bosses of bosses. Well, you know, other than Dr. Wily and his stupid alien hologram.
