Torch Man (DOS)

Torch Man is one of the six Robot Masters from the Mega Man 3 computer game for DOS.

Originally designed to be a maintenance robot who specialised in welding, Torch Man was reprogrammed and modified to be a combat robot by Dr. Wily and CRORQ. He resides deep within the sewers in an aquatic environment, despite being a specialist in heat-based weapons. He uses his Special Weapon, a flamethrower-like weapon called the Torch Arm to scorch his opponents from a distance. Due to his flame-based nature, he is weak against Wave Man's Water Shooter weapon.

Trivia

 * FireMan.EXE was renamed TorchMan.EXE for the MegaMan NT Warrior anime as well as the manga series.
 * Whereas TorchMan.EXE from NT Warrior and Torch Man from Mega Man 11 refer to the kind of torch used as a light source, this Torch Man is a reference to a blow torch.
 * His mugshot is an edit of Magnet Man's mugshot, without the head-mounted magnet, as well as his sprite resembling Magnet Man with some color variation and less details.
 * Ironically, Torch Man is fought in a water filled room.
 * Torch Man's main weakness is Water Shooter, but Shark Boomerang and Blade Launcher work well as alternatives.
 * Torch Man's mugshot shows he has a normal face, but his in game sprite has large blue eyes. Perhaps as a welding robot he has a visor to shield his eyes.
