Cloud Man

Cloud Man (クラウドマン) is a Robot Master originally created as a weather control robot, but was stolen and modified for combat by Dr. Wily, removing his rainfall equipment and enhancing his lightning equipment. Cloud Man has no legs, but instead he is built to hover above the ground using a gravity controller. He can control the weather and create strong wind to push his opponents, and try to strike them with his Thunder Bolt.

Strategy
First, Cloud Man will float to the center of the room, then float up and use Thunder Bolt. He will then move close to the ground, and summon rain and wind. Cloud Man will stay in the same spot, shocking the floor in attempts to push Mega Man into one of the two pits on either side of the arena. After that Cloud Man will chase Mega Man, and after some time he repeats the attack pattern.

Trivia

 * During his battle pose before fighting, his sprite loses a finger, giving him only four fingers instead of his usual five. This would be a mistake made by the original sprite artist.


 * Cloud Man is weak to Burst Man's weapon to the point that it's almost comical, able to be endlessly slammed into the ground with only minimal timing required. This makes his weakness one of the most crippling of all Robot Masters.


 * Cloud Man's weapon is called Thunder Strike in Japan, which is also used in the English version of Mega Man: The Power Battle.


 * Although Cloud Man himself isn't able to generate rain, in Mega Man 7 it starts raining in his room when he makes a pose, suggesting he did it. It's likely the rain was done by a unknown source activated under his command, like a TeruTeru or other rainfall device nearby.
