Commando Man

Commando Man (コマンドマン) is a Robot Master from Mega Man 10. He is able to stun the player by pounding the ground, and shoot Commando Bombs that home in on Mega Man, Proto Man, or Bass. Commando Man is said to inflict serious amounts of damage. His stage is set in a desert which has a vicious sandstorm that can obstruct the player's vision and push them to pits or other hazards.

Before contracting Roboenza, Commando Man was a mine-sweeping robot who used remote detonation techniques to clear minefields all over the world. It is also said that he enjoys tasting oil from the various countries he visits.

Strategy
Commando Man jumps around while firing Commando Bomb. The player should be careful as the shockwave from the bomb reaches out and can still hit them. Commando Man can jump and shoot a Commando Bomb which will turn down as they pass under it, as well as jump high which he drops himself to the ground to shake it after firing the Commando Bomb. He may also just fire a Commando Bomb forward while he is on the ground which may arc up when the player jumps.

On Hard Mode he gets a new attack, stunning the player by punching the ground and creating an explosive shockwave that travels all the way across the room.

The best weapon to use is Wheel Cutter, as it can cancel out a Commando Bomb when they collide.
