BlastMan.EXE

BlastMan.EXE (ブラストマン) is Joe Mach's fire NetNavi, and is the first boss in MegaMan Battle Network 6, encountered near the beginning.

MegaMan Battle Network 6
BlastMan first appears when Mick gets into a fight with his NetNavi who runs away. He offers Mick to set him on the school's main computer in order to get revenge on Lan and MegaMan. Due to his jealousy for Lan, he agrees and BlastMan takes controls of the Securitybots and makes them attack the teachers and students with fire. Eventually, Mick asks him to stop but BlastMan ignores him. Lan and MegaMan then jack into the school's computer and try to stop him. To get to him, MegaMan must go through a maze, which involves putting out flaming Mr. Progs while standing behind blocks to avoid getting hit by the fireballs BlastMan throws at him. When BlastMan is defeated by MegaMan, he swore he would get revenge, retreating.

He is later encountered with DiveMan when they kidnap Roll, GutsMan, and Glyde and take them to the Undernet to lure out MegaMan and obtain the Cybeast inside of him. BlastMan and DiveMan challenge MegaMan, but despite having a two on one advantage, they are deleted.

Strategy

 * When battling BlastMan EX and later versions, the metal block will shift to the center of both player's area. Falzar players should use AquaCross' Bubbler advantage to finish him off quickly. If this strategy is executed quickly, Falzar players have greater chance of getting SP chip without using BeastOut. AquaBeast attack does not instantly deletes BlastMan in one blow.
 * Thanks to the frequent weak virus ambush, BlastMan is considered one of the hardest boss to find. So is much advice to use SneakRun (although is unsure they counted in BlastMan himself as 'weak virus')

Attacks
BlastMan uses the following attacks:
 * Air Bomber: Shoots an explosion down the row.
 * Blast Hurricane: BlastMan will shoot instead a fire-attributed tornado down your row. He will try to stand at the front of his area for this attack.
 * Blast Fire: First, tiny harmless embers will travel in one direction across the screen. These indicate which way the large fireballs which follow will fly. The only way to dodge these fireballs is to place one of the large metal blocks between you and them.

Locations
BlastMan EX can be found in one of the dead ends of Central Area 2. After defeating the EX form he will appear randomly in Central Area 2 in his SP form. His RV form in the Graveyard possesses 2000 HP.

Battle Chips
The BlastMan Battle Chip is a Mega Chip that summons BlastMan, making him fire 3 fireballs, one down each row. The standard BlastMan chip causes 120 damage, BlastMan EX causes 140 damage, and BlastMan SP 150 damage.



Trivia

 * Although BlastMan doesn't appear in any episode from the MegaMan NT Warrior anime, a image of his Battle Chip can be seen in episode 3 of Rockman EXE Beast+ when Tory Froid is using the machine in front of the chip shop.
 * BlastMan has an evil laugh which sounds like "Kyohohohoho". When the Navi Customizer program Humor is installed on MegaMan, MegaMan tries to imitate his laugh in SkyTown.
