Crash Man

Crash Man, known as Clashman (クラッシュマン) in Japan, is a combat Robot Master that was built by Dr. Wily using the designs of Bomb Man and Guts Man as a base, having explosive weapons and a thick armor that can withstand explosions. He also has high speed and agility. His main weapon is Crash Bomber, a powerful time bomb with a drill that attaches itself to the target. In Super Adventure Rockman it's shown he also has other weapons hidden in his body, having rapid-firing weapons on his shoulders and large-sized bombs on his back that split into three or more Crash Bombers when hit.

Strategy
If you don't attack Crash Man, he will just run back and forth, jumping to shoot a Crash Bomber at where the player is standing if you shoot. So if you run, jump and then shoot, he will jump up to get hit by the blast. Then just keep running so that the Crash Bomber will miss you. Continue until he is defeated.

Mega Man
Crash Man appears in the fourth episode of Ruby-Spears' Mega Man animated series. He only appears for a brief scene when attacking the city. In the show, he calls his Crash Bombers "time bombs", although he changes from his drill-like weapon to another weapon type before firing them, suggesting that the drill-like weapons were the Crash Bombs and "time bombs" are a new weapon added for the show.

Captain N: The Game Master
Crash Man appears in episode 20 of Captain N: The Game Master, where he and other Robot Masters from Mega Man 2 play football against the main characters. Crash Man has drastic changes in his appearance, and instead of shooting Crash Bombs, he throws Acme bombs.

Mega Man Megamix
In the manga Mega Man Megamix, Crash Man's arms can rotate, having hands in one side and Crash Bombs in the other. Crash Man also has weapons on his head, shoulders, legs and feet.

In the story "Orders to Destroy R", Crash Man, Metal Man and Heat Man appeared to help Air Man when he was outnumbered by Dr. Light's robots. When Mega Man went after Dr. Wily, Heat Man asked Crash Man to give Crash Bombers to him, which he used as a boost to pursue Mega Man while the others fought against Dr. Light's robots. Later, Crash Man retreated when Wily's plan failed.

Other appearances
Crash Man also appeared in the manga Rockman: Dr. Wily's Plot, Rockman World 2 and Rockman 4Koma Great March.

Trivia

 * Crash Man's name has been the subject of controversy. It could be translated as both Crash Man or Clash Man. Japanese has a rhotic /l/; there is no way (save context) to discern what letter (of l and r) is intended. Because of this, he's called "Clash Man" in the English version of Mega Man II and "Crash Man" in the Japanese version of Mega Man: The Power Battle. Likewise, the Crash Bomber is given the abbreviation "CL" in the Wily Tower minigame of Wily Wars, though the game otherwise refers to the boss and weapon as "Crash".
 * If Mega Man doesn't attack, Crash Man will keep running back and forth, rarely attacking.
 * Crash Man is the only Robot Master from Mega Man 2 that doesn't have a NetNavi counterpart.
 * Due to pallette limitations, in his NES sprite, Crash Man's knees are white, instead of yellow like in the artwork.
