Cloud Man

Cloud Man (クラウドマン) is a Robot Master originally created as a weather control robot, but was stolen and modified for combat by Dr. Wily, removing his rainfall equipment and enhancing his lightning equipment. Cloud Man has no legs, but instead he is built to hover above the ground using a gravity controller. He can control the weather and create strong wind to push his opponents, and try to strike them with his Thunder Bolt.

Mega Man 7
At the beginning of the battle, Cloud Man will float up from the center of the room and execute the following pattern. First, he'll use Thunder Bolt from that height toward Mega Man : it acts as a fast lightning missile that create four electric spheres when it hits the ground (two from each side of the Thunder Bolt). Right after this attack he'll float to Mega Man's level, and cast rain and wind. This climat change aims to push Mega Man into one of the two pits on either side of the arena. Cloud Man will stay in the same spot, and shock the floor, spawning the same crawling electric spheres as Thunder Bolt, and this two times in a row. After this the rain stops, and Cloud Man will chase Mega Man, leaving a small pass below him so Mega can slide to avoid contact with him. After some time he repeats the attack pattern.

The rain's power is higher than Mega Man so he'll have to slide in order to keep foot on the field. Each time Cloud Man prepares an attack, except chasing, he become invincible as the lightning charges him up.

He is weak against Danger Wrap : if this weapon is used while he isn't receiving the lightning, the rain instantly stop, the bubble will trap him, and make him float upward before detonating, making him fall to the ground (the cloud he uses to fly disappears). Then, he'll restart his pattern from the beginning.

Mega Man: The Power Battle
Cloud Man's behavior is the same as in Mega Man 7, except there are no bottomless pits in his arena. Cloud Man could be difficult to defeat without the Scorch Wheel, but the Mega Buster is just as effective.

Trivia

 * During his battle pose before fighting, his sprite loses a finger, giving him only four fingers instead of his usual five.


 * Cloud Man is weak to Burst Man's weapon to the point that it is almost comical, able to be endlessly slammed into the ground with only minimal timing required. This makes his weakness one of the most crippling of all Robot Masters.


 * Cloud Man does not like lightning rods because, when lightning strikes, the bolt hits the rod instead of the intended target.


 * Cloud Man's weapon is called Thunder Strike in Japan, which is also used in the English version of Mega Man: The Power Battle.
 * There is a glitch in the battle with Cloud Man, like with Spring Man and Turbo Man, only instead of destroying him instantly, it destroys him, the player, and distorts the screen. If Danger Wrap is fired with exact timing, it will cause him to fall from above the screen, disappear, (the player will not be able to move during this time) two thunder bolts will fall from the sky, the screen will become distorted in appearance, and the player will die.
