Concrete Man

Concrete Man (コンクリートマン) is one of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 9 whose period of use had expired and was scheduled to be scrapped. Concrete Man is a construction robot built to be the supervisor of dam construction. He is stubborn and will tell off any lazy robots.

Strategy
He tries to stop the player with his Concrete Shot, jumps from the top of the screen and shakes the floor, which will make Mega Man stumble, or tackles.

Concrete Man's weakness is the Laser Trident due to its ability to penetrate most shielding. It can also cause critical damage to him, and can pierce through the blocks of the Concrete Shots.
