Charge Man

Charge Man (チャージマン) is a Robot Master based on a steam locomotive, which is used by him as camouflage to make shipments off to Dr. Wily. He is unique in that he is powered by coal and water, raising his operating costs exponentially. His main attack, Charge Kick, allow him to dash forward at high speed. He's also able to launch flaming pieces of coal from his smokestack.

Other media
The Mega Man 5 bosses have short appearances fighting against Mega Man or helping Wily in the three episodes from the OVA Mega Man: Upon a Star.

In the manga Rockman Megamix, Charge Man appeared in the story "Holiday of Soldiers", where the eight Robot Masters from Mega Man 5 have a part-time job in a amusement park to obtain money for Wily. He works in a train ride and calls himself "Charge Orange" in the job to avoid being recognized as one of Wily's robots.

Charge Man also appeared in the Rockman 5 manga.

Charge Man was the only Robot Master from Mega Man 5 that didn't appear in the cartoon. Napalm Man didn't appear in any episodes either, but makes a brief cameo in the intro.
