Charge Man

Charge Man (チャージマン) is a Robot Master based on a steam locomotive, which is used by him as camouflage to make shipments off to Dr. Wily. He is unique in that he is powered by coal and water, raising his operating costs exponentially. His main attack, the Charge Kick, makes him throw a full-throttle kick at his maximum speed. He's also able to launch flaming pieces of coal from his smokestack.

He works in a train ride and calls himself "Charge Orange" in the job to avoid being recognized as one of Wily's robots.
