Time Man

Time Man (タイムマン) is one of the two new Robot Masters from the remake of the original Mega Man from NES to the PSP: Mega Man Powered Up.

It is mentioned by Dr. Wily in Powered Up that Time Man is a prototype. Wily may have later perfected the design with his own robot, Flash Man. Further evidence can be found in the fact that Time Man can only slow time down while Flash Man can freeze it completely. Coincidentally, some enemies found in Flash Man's stage are also in Time Man's stage, which are Crazy Cannons, the enemies that resemble stopwatches.

Time Man is known to be irritable, somewhat conceited, and completely obsessed with time and schedules. He also keeps large track of time, stating Mega Man is 0.3 seconds early when they fight.

As a playable character, his primary attack is shooting two clock arrows at the same time at angles, one going upwards, one going downwards. He is also able to charge, and when he is fully charged, he can release the attack button to use Time Slow, which slows down time more than Mega Man's. He is able to charge again to the fullest while time is slowed, but if he releases it during the time, nothing will happen, and he must charge again for when the Time Slow wears off.

Trivia

 * Based on the other robot masters referring to him as a child (including Oil Man) and the fact that he's still incomplete, Time Man was thought to be created after Oil Man, making his model number DLN-010. However, upon closer inspection on the boss/level select screen of Mega Man Powered Up, each robot master is listed in number order from left to right in each row. Based on this information, the model number of Time Man is most likely DLN-009.
 * Oil Man and Time Man appear on Capcom's Chiptuned Rockman, a CD which was released only in Japan. It features their themes from Rockman Rockman (Megaman Powered Up) in 8-bit.
