Impact Man

"Punch! Pummel! PULVERIZE!"

- Impact Man

Impact Man, known as Pile Man (パイルマン) in Japan, is a Robot Master set to appear in Mega Man 11. He's an all-purpose construction robot who specializes in piling. Impact Man is dedicated to his job and has never been one to leave a task unfinished. Even after being stolen and modified by Dr. Wily, Impact Man continued to carry out his duties as he rounded up a gang of construction robots and took up residence in an abandoned construction zone so he and his comrades could continue working on it.

Appearance
Impact Man is a large robot whose body consists of three pile driver robots named Kui-ichiro (クイイチロー), Kui-jiro (クイジロー), and Kui-saburo (クイサブロー). He has three spikes on his body, one atop his head and two more at the ends of his arms (one for each arm). He also has tailpipes on his shoulders. One half of his body is colored orange, the other half is colored yellow, and the lower half is colored black.

Strategy
Impact Man's battle consists of a number of attacks in which he'll try to impale Mega Man with his drill spikes. Usually, he will dash across the room to try and ram into Mega Man with his spikes. After defeating Impact Man, Mega Man gets a special weapon called Pile Driver that mimics this attack. Impact Man will also sometimes jump into the air and turn into a three-sided drill, after which he'll jump across the room in an attempt to crush Mega Man. He'll also leave behind a spike wherever he lands. When he's lost most of his health, Impact Man will activate his Power Gear and turn into a gigantic jackhammer.
