Fun Fact, only the double charged Power Gear Mega Buster has recoil, so the upgrade raocow bought today doesn't really do much!
ROBOT MASTER FACTS! BLAST MAN
"Explosion...is ART!!!"
Blast Man (ブラストマン Burasutoman) is a Robot Master built for pyrotechnic work (described as Explosion Artistry by Blast Man himself). He is a volatile robot with a flair for the theatrics and a taste for explosions, manufactured by B.B. Bomb Company to use his bombs to provide explosive special effects for movie studios and theme parks. While under maintenance by Dr. Light, Blast Man was captured and reprogrammed by Dr. Wily to help him conquer the world and fight against Mega Man. Prior to being captured, Blast Man was creating an explosion-themed attraction for the theme park Flower Land.
Blast Man's stage is set in the ruined remains of a theme park and movie studio hybrid that he has shaped into his personal playground. He's added several personal touches, including a number of signs featuring himself as the star of “Blast Man Adventure.”
Dangerous, volatile, and a bit short-tempered, Blast Man is fond of explosives and he uses his bombs to create them for his own enjoyment. He also has an egotistical and narcissistic side, as he places images of himself all over his stage. While not creating explosions, Blast Man fancies himself a journalist, writing a column every month for his favorite magazine, Boom Monthly (月刊発破時代 Gekkan happa jidai).
In Superhero difficulty, Blast Man can activate his Power Gear much earlier in the fight, as well as being able to execute his aerial attack twice during the same jump.
