Astro Man

Astro Man (アストロマン) was not built primarily for combat, but instead for hypnosis and confusion. Unfortunately, he's easily startled, and thus not very reliable in battle; and more of a coward. He was created by Dr. Wily in Mega Man 8 to be one of the four Robot Masters built to protect the barrier to the "Wily Tower," and was placed in a metallic version of the Keukenhof Garden/maze in the north of Europe (possibly Denmark or the Netherlands). Later, Astro Man was revived by King in a similar area in Mega Man & Bass. He is one of the first three selectable Robot Masters in Mega Man & Bass, alongside Cold Man and Ground Man.

Trivia

 * There are plans of a robot similar to Astro Man in the background of Spring Man's stage in Mega Man 7.
 * Astro Man can be considered somewhat of a broken character, as his battle becomes extremely easy with Homing Sniper. With the weapon, the player can defeat Astro Man before he can do anything as long as Mega Man jumps then fires the weapon.
 * When Astro Man uses Astro Crush, the "meteors" that rain from the sky are actually fiery green replicas of Astro Man himself.
 * His quote, "Don't get technical," may be a subtle reference to C-3PO in Star Wars: A New Hope. In one scene on Tatooine, after R2-D2 sasses off (in his beeping sounds, naturally), C-3PO replies with "Don't get technical with me."
 * Astro Man is one of four Robot Masters to give Mega Man two different weapons. The other three are Tengu Man (Tornado Hold and Tengu Blade), Centaur Man (Centaur Flash and Centaur Arrow) and Pharaoh Man (Pharaoh Shot and Pharaoh Wave).
 * Astro Man, Dynamo Man and Pirate Man are the 3 robot masters from Mega Man & Bass to not have NetNavi counterparts.
