Break Man

Break Man is an alias used by Proto Man during the first part of Mega Man 3. In this form, Proto Man's helmet covers his entire head, similar to the Sniper Joe's helmets (even with the single eye). It is unknown what this "transformation" changed in Proto Man, but it was probably just a disguise. The key difference, is that in this form, Proto Man will not take damage from any special weapon. Only the Mega Buster can scratch him. This is possibly due to the fact that he is wearing additional armor as Break Man.

Proto Man will only appear as Break Man when all four Doc Robot stages are completed. After his defeat, Mega Man will return to Dr. Light's Laboratory, where Dr. Light announces that Dr. Wily has stolen Gamma.
