Wind Man

Wind Man (ウインドマン) is a air-themed Robot Master that was originally created to work in agriculture, helping in the harvest. He has a strong rivalry with Air Man. In the First Annual Robot Tournament, he was stolen and reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him in his plan to conquer the world. With his weapon, Wind Storm, he can generate powerful winds that can reach a speed of 200m/s, which he uses to pull enemies, increasing the speed if damaged. Wind Man has jet engines in his feet that allow him to hover and move faster, which he also uses to attack by moving above the opponent to smash him with his weight. His weakness is the Centaur Flash.
