Sunstar

"I am Sunstar... The doomsday weapon... I must destroy all inferior life forms!"

- Sunstar

Sunstar, known as Sungod (サンゴッド) in Japan, is the final boss of Mega Man V. Sunstar is an ancient doomsday weapon from the same era of the Stardroids that was found by Dr. Wily. After his defeat in Wily Star, Wily activates Sunstar to defeat Mega Man. Sunstar attacks Wily, but fights against Mega Man anyway, stating that robots were created to fight and that he "must destroy all inferior forms".

When Sunstar was defeated in the battle, Mega Man asks if he is alright and wants to take him for repairs in Light Labs. Surprised with his kindness to an enemy, Sunstar asks why he is helping him, as both are robots created only to fight. Mega Man says he's wrong, and that he will only fight when it's needed to protect the world, and robots and humans can live together in peace. Sunstar thinks about what Mega Man said, but says he will never know as his fusion reactor was critically damaged and it could explode at any moment, and asks Mega Man to leave. Shortly after Mega Man's escape, Sunstar's explosion destroys Wily Star.

Sunstar has a great variety of attacks, and his Nova Attack is extremely powerful. Sunstar has no primary weaknesses to any of the Special Weapons, but Mega Man can use Spark Chaser as it can hit Sunstar multiple times.

Other media
In the manga Rockman Gigamix vol. 3, Sunstar emerges from Dark Moon when Dark Moon and Terra were defeated by Mega Man. In the manga, Sunstar appears to be an empty armor with some parts made of fire.

Sunstar also appeared in exposition in a robot museum in the manga Rockman &amp; Forte.

Trivia

 * The reference to brushing teeth in Sunstar's data is probably a reference to its status as an early-morning activity. It makes sense that Sunstar would enjoy things done as the sun comes up.
 * Sunstar's redemption and death, followed by the explosion of the Wily Star, may be a reference to Darth Vader's death in Return of the Jedi.
