Plug Man

Plug Man (プラグマン) is one of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 9 whose period of use had expired and was scheduled to be scrapped. Plug Man was designed to inspect the quality control in a television factory. He is obsessed with gadgets and loves to browse electronic stores. His main weapon is Plug Ball.

His stage consists of many Yoku Block puzzles similar to those in previous games like Elec Man's and Heat Man's stages. There are also video holograms of Mega Man known as Shadow Mega Man that cause damage on collision.

Strategy
Plug Man will jump around trying to jump on Mega Man. At times, he will shoot Plug Balls at Mega Man that will run on the ceiling. Once he is under the ball, it will drop toward him.

His weakness is the Jewel Satellite, which will deflect all Plug Balls launched.

Trivia

 * Plug Man is called Plasman (プラズマン, a combination of the words plasma and man) in his concept art. (image) This name was also used in previous concept arts of characters from Mega Man 2 and 3, but none resembled Plug Man.
 * During the ending credits, Plug Man is shown with a hand replacing his plug on his right hand while carrying Capcom bags with Rush. The removal of his plug is probably to make him harmless in case he goes berserk again, or he's able to change his arm into a plug like Mega Man and other robots can turn their hands into cannons.
 * His mugshot looks similar to his artwork since Plug Man's faces are facing straight forward, but his eyes and eyelids have different colors in the mugshot due to color limits.
 * Plug Man is one of two Robot Masters in Mega Man 9 designed by Keiji Inafune. As he says in Capcom Unit Blog. Link.
 * In Mega Man 10, the Yoku Block puzzle from Plug Man's stage appears in the Endless Attack mode.
 * His plug color in the artwork is black, but in battle it's purple, due to color limitations.
 * As an electric-themed boss, Plug Man's weakness to ground/crystal weapons is similar for two other electric Mavericks who are also weak to ground/crystal weapons: Tornado Tonion and Gigabolt Man-O-War.
 * His Plug Ball does the second most damage to Mega Man behind only the Laser Trident.
 * Plug Man has a red belt in the artwork, but it is not seen in his sprite.
