Revision as of 15:47, 7 April 2024
A Robot Master,[1] also known as a Number (ナンバー)[2] or often just a Boss (ボス)[3] in Japan, is a recurring term in the Mega Man series. It is used to describe advanced, typically humanoid robots created by skilled scientists such as Dr. Light. They are most often the main group of bosses on the Stage Select screen, who must be defeated in order to open the Last Stages of the game.
Both the terms "Robot Master" and "Number" have never been used in any in-game dialogue, only in supplementary sources such as game manuals, strategy guides, and encyclopedias. "Robot Master" in particular was phased out of English media by the release of Mega Man 7. Despite this, the term remains ubiquitous within the fandom and third-party media, such as Mega Man: Fully Charged and the Archie Mega Man comic, with varying scope and definition.
Robot Masters
All Robot Master bosses are humanoid, have a signature Special Weapon and weakness, and a name ending in "Man" (or "Woman"). Many also have an assigned serial number, hence the Japanese term. Although usage of the terms Robot Master and Number have been phased out, it can be assumed that all bosses matching these traits are Robot Masters, unless primary sources contradict this.
Mainline Robot Masters
These Robot Master bosses originate from the mainline Capcom Mega Man games.
