Guts Man (Mega Man: Fully Charged)


 * "Whatever you are after, behind those doors lies nothing but pain!"
 * "Thanks for warning... Guts Man will EAT the pain away!"
 * — Dr. Light and Guts Man, Trust Your Guts, Man!

Guts Man is a character from the TV show Mega Man: Fully Charged. He first appears in the episode Trust Your Guts, Man!

Appearance
Like the original Guts Man, this version of Guts Man is large and burly. He has two metal cylinders on his back (similar to the ones GutsMan.EXE has) that are supposed to be trash receptacles, supposedly grinding up everything he eats, turning it into energy. He also has glowing yellow lights on his body. Other than that, the only difference this Guts Man has from the original is that he has a different color scheme, being mostly gray with some small red sections.

Personality
Due to an unspecified incident that may have occurred earlier in his life, Guts Man is somewhat self-loathing as he is a ghost of the powerful robot he once was, and he knows it. However, this doesn't stop him from forming an alliance with Sgt. Night to steal from Dr. Light's lab, possibly to get revenge on humans or become more powerful, or even both. During his interactions with Aki and Suna, he initially pretended to be a friendly, happy-go-lucky guy so as to gain their trust. When he goes into battle, though, Guts Man is quite boisterous and attacks his enemies with relentless brute force. He also likes to make puns that revolve around eating.

History
Sgt. Breaker Night met him in the junkyard, where he was covered in a pile of junk in a low-energy state, and he made a deal with Guts Man to get something from Dr. Light's personal laboratory. Sgt. Night turned Guts Man into a Robot Master, and Guts Man went to Dr. Light's laboratory disguised as a scientist named "Gustav Gütsman" in order to trick Aki and Suna into letting him in. Guts Man attempts to enter Light's lab, but is stopped by Mega Man.

Later, Mega Man and Man Man team up to stop him.

Abilities
Much like his video game counterpart, Guts Man has super strength due to his large frame. However, his main ability is to make himself grow more powerful by eating. The more trash Guts Man eats, the bigger and stronger he gets. In later episodes, it is revealed he can eat almost any organic and inorganic mater, not just garbage to get a power up. He can also make powerful shock waves by slamming his hands on his stomach. Both of Guts Man's hands are also connected to a piston inside his arms, allowing them to extend great distances. Additionally, he seems to have some engineering skills as he made a machine to transform garbage into ice cream.

Weakness
His strength depends on the organic matter in his guts, which are consumed when he moves. If he's overloaded with matter, he becomes bloated, weak, and in extreme cases unable to move. He also cannot digest chewing gum and potatoes mixed together.

Trivia

 * In Trust Your Guts, Man!, Guts Man goes by the alias "Gustav Gütsman" in order to trick the kids into letting him into Dr. Light's home. This makes him the first Robot Master in the show to have an alias, followed by Mr. NRT/Chemistry Man and Chauncy/Cut Man. Unlike the other two, though, Guts Man's alias is just a false identity.
 * In the classic games, Guts Man is a robot made for construction and Fire Man is a robot made for waste disposal. In Mega Man: Fully Charged, it seems to be the other way around.
 * This incarnation of Guts Man speaks with a Russian accent.
 * Guts Man's color scheme in this show is very similar to that of Flame Mammoth from Mega Man X.
 * His design seems to be loosely based off of GutsMan.EXE, who incidentally grew to giant size in one episode of the anime.
 * In his Debut  episode Mega Man did not want to repilcate Guts Man's powers, becuase he was grossed out by his eating habits; but in More More More! he changed his mind and did replicate them
 * His abilities take a more literal use of the word Guts in his name, with his guts being a fundamental part of the function of his powers.
