Robot Master

A Robot Master, also known as Super Robot, is a special kind of robot or android from the Mega Man classic series that possesses a very advanced level of artificial intelligence. The Robot Master AI system is credited to Dr. Light. Most, if not all, Robot Masters possess a special weapon. These powers can be gained mainly by Mega Man or Bass after the robot is defeated.

Robot Masters can also be grouped into types depending on what elemental nature their power and environment where designed after.

Most Robot Masters possess a unique identification code, consisting of a two-letter "series code" followed by one of N, No, or #, then a three-digit "serial number". Not all Robot Masters have a serial number or their serial number has yet to be revealed.
