Mega Man 6 introduced us to 8 new robot masters. A lot of the robot masters in Mega Man 6 were used to represent different countries due the story line. Flame Man is one of the robot masters that made his debut in Mega Man 6.

Background- Flame Man was originally built by a Saudi Arabia company. He was create to generate very large amounts of thermal power. Thermal Power is also his energy source, which means he is oil powered. While this is an outdated source it gave him more stability than other powered robot masters. He could also generate large flames due to his energy source.

His Arabia company decided to enter him into the world robot tournament. They thought him being a fire based robot master he would do good. He was 1 out of 8 robots entered into the tournament that was sponsored by Mister X.

However Mister X turned out to be Dr. Wily. Dr. Wily took the 8 robot masters and modified them in his latest scheme to take over the world. Wily modified Flame Man to be more combat themed than he originally was.

Flame Man took over an Arabia oil field and fort turning it into his base. He rigged his base with oil and fire traps as he anticipated Mega Man. Mega Man made his way through his traps and confronted him. Flame Man was defeated by Mega Man.

He made a cameo appearance in Mega Man 7. However, he has not been used as a combat robot for Wily since the events of Mega Man 6. Therefore, it is likely he was rebuilt and went back to his original job of providing thermal power.

Appearance- Flame Man is a human like robot. He has a white turban on top of his helmet. He has a a black mustache and some chin hair. He has a tank on his back that connects to his buster on one of his arms. He is mostly seen with red/orange, yellow, and white armor.

Personality- He is proud of his energy source. He like to prove that oil can still be a reliable power source over his peers that are solar powered. He has to change his oil three times a day because he consumes a lot to create his thermal energy. Thus, it is said he can be very demanding at times. He can be vain as he likes keeping his mustache looking good. He hates cheap oil as it causes him problems.

Attack- He likes to do short jumps a lot. He can also jump off the walls and will try to use this to collide into the player/opponent. His main attack is shooting fire balls at the player/opponent. He can shoot up to 3 fire balls at one time. His most dangerous attack is his flame blast. In this attack Flame Man will stick his buster on the ground and create waves of flames. The flames can be tricky to dodge and can do serious damage. His walls of flames can also block some shots.

Weakness- He leaves himself open sometimes after he shoots fire balls or right before he does his flame blast technique this is a good chance to get some hits in. His main weakness is Wind Storm as the Wind Storm can fan out his flames.

If the player defeats him they will get his flame weapon. The Flame Weapon can be used to melt ice and take out enemies.

Here is his data from Mega Man 6

Here is his CD Data

A robot master that can create flames he has a fuel generator inside of his body but he has to change it constantly.

Good Point- Bold and punctual

Bad Point- Can be demanding

Likes- Keeping his Mustache and chin hair up

Dislikes- Cheat Oil.

As stated he does not like Cheap Oil because it messes him up and he has to change more than he originally does. It could also be that cheap oil does not burn that well. As I stated earlier he is proud that he is powered by oil/thermal. He has a chip on his shoulder that oil is still the best power source. However, he constantly has to change his oil due to using a lot to create his flames. This has caused him to be demanding.

Flame Man also continues an element theme that has become a staple in Mega Man games. In this game Flame Man represents heat/fire element. A trend that continues in future Mega Man games.

Speaking of future Mega Man games while Flame Man makes a cameo in Mega Man 7 he is not used as a combat robot for Wily in future games like some of his peers. One theory is it might cost too much to operate Flame Man. However, Charge Man also uses an ancient power source and has appeared in other games. The more likely theory is that after the events of Mega Man 6. Flame Man was rebuilt and went back to providing thermal power in Saudi Arabia. That is probably the more likely theory. This concludes the Flame Man Biography.
