As I have mentioned in my other posts Mega Man V introduced us to 10 new robot masters the alien robot masters called the Stardroids. There are 10 of them with 9 of them being created by Wily and named after planets. Sun Star is unique because he was not created by Dr. Wily.

Background- Some time ago an ancient alien civilization built Sun Star to be the ultimate doomsday weapon. Sunstar was built to punish civilizations that loved war and destruction. After destroying civilizations that constantly sought out war and destruction he deactivated in a ruin as there was nothing left to destroy.

Dr. Wily unearthed Sun Star or discovered him as some sources stated in a ruin. Most likely when Wily had his space fortress in the previous game Mega Man IV. Wily noticed that Sun Star was made out of alien material and general weapons could not hurt him. Wily used Sun Star as a template to create the 9 other star droids.

After Mega Man defeated the Star Droids, thanks to Dr. Light changing his weapon system that would damage the alien invaders. Wily awaited for him to release Sun Star upon Mega Man. Mega Man defeated Wily and Wily ordered Sun Star to destroy Mega Man.

However, what Wily did not count on was Sun Star being a doomsday weapon had a mind of his own. He attacked Wily forcing Wily to leave his space fortress and head back to earth. He engaged Mega Man in a fight and nearly defeated Mega Man. Mega Man after a brutal and very tough fight got the upper hand. Mega Man offered to help Sun Star which surprised him. Mega Man taught Sun Star that their can be peace and that Mega Man only fights when he has too for defense purposes. Sun Star agreed but told Mega Man to leave as his reactor was going haywire. Mega Man left without him.

His CD data suggests that he survived or was rebuilt.

Appearance- Sun Star is a human type alien robot master. He has a human face, has human hands, and feet. He has several red gems on his body. His helmet is made to look like an ancient soldiers helmet. He has a buster cannon on one arm. He has smaller cannons all over his body. He has Blue, Red, orange, and yellow armor.

Personality- Sun Star has a complex personality. He was created to be a dooms day weapon and to destroy those who just made war all the time. Basically, giving them what they want. He believes that all civilizations want to do is create war and they are inferior. Therefore, they must get what they want and be destroyed.

However, he does have a mind of his own as he cannot be controlled as Dr. Wily found that out. He does not like to be told what to do and can make his own mind. Basically, he has an independent streak to him that he answers to no one.

In addition, he seems to respect opponents as he introduced himself to Mega Man in a polite manner. This could be because he respected or recognized Mega Man's power. After Mega Man defeats him he seems to understand what Mega Man is fighting for. Furthermore, he seems to understand and want to learn more about peace. As he is dying he tells Mega Man to leave so he would not be hurt in the explosion.

Attack- Sun Star is often considered one of the hardest bosses in the classic Mega Man franchise. He has several powerful attacks. A few of them can nearly be instant death. He is very fast and can dash across the room in a rapid manner. Also when he charges up he is immune to attacks even his weakness. One of his powerful attacks is to fire powerful lasers and then dash across the room. Another powerful attack is for him to create electricity he will shoot a spark across the room and when the spark gets close to player rise up and hit them. As the fight goes on Sunstar will use fireballs to destroy the floor to go down to another floor.

After he destroys the first floor his attacks get more powerful and faster. Not only will he use his laser attack, but he will use fire and electric attacks as well. Those are not even his most dangerous attacks. Another powerful attack is he can turn into like a buzz saw and try to collide with the player. His most dangerous attack is the Nova Strike weapon. Sun Star will cause a storm of lasers and lightning bolts to reign down on the player all at once. This attack is nearly instant death as it does over 70% of damage to the player's health bar. Sun Star will use the Nova Strike weapon at random.

Weakness- He really does not have a weakness the only weapon that is effective against him is the Spark Chaser. Spark Chaser only does 1 damage against him. On the other hand, Spark Chaser can do multiple hits so its possible for a Spark Chaser shot to take 2 or 3 unites of damage off of him. Otherwise, the battle is mostly luck and reflexes. Sun Star is very fast, has powerful attacks, and does not leave himself open to attacks.

Since he is the final boss Mega Man cannot gain his weapon the Nova Strike.

CD Data

An ancient alien robot discovered in a runs. He is a doomsday weapon.

Good Point- Cheerful

Bad Point- doesn't like to get up as he is a doomsday weapon.

Likes- Brushing his teeth

Dislikes- Keeping late hours.

His keeping late hours is likely a reference to him being a dooms day weapon. When he attacks he likes for it to be over quickly, which is often the case. He does not like projects that take a while. Him like brushing his teeth could be that he likes to look good when he appears as he has a smile before engaging in combat.

Despite being a Doomsday weapon he is cheerful. However, he is most likely cheerful because he has punished those that have made war. Him not liking to get up could be a reference cause when he gets up it means he is about to punish a civilization and its their doom.

Sun Star is a unique character he is the final boss of Mega Man V and he is an enemy. However, he is not really evil. He states that he believes civilizations that just star wars are more evil and that is why they are inferior.

In the American Version of the game he agrees with Mega Man about their being peace and only fighting when one has to. He tells Mega Man to leave him behind due to his reactor going to explode.

In the Japenese version of the game he states that when he was built there was constantly wars and he was created to punish those by giving them what they want. He states that Mega Man could be the one to achieve peace due to his sense of justice and only fighting when its self defense. He told Mega Man that he hoped by dying peace would be able to achieve. He encouraged Mega Man to continue to fight for lasting peace.

In the end we see that Sun Star respects Mega Man but that he wished he may have learned about a balance in peace and war (only when its self defense) earlier. The way he encouraged Mega Man made it seem like that Sun Star wanted peace too he just did not know how to achieve it.

Based on Sun Star's CD data it suggests that he survived. There are several theories about this. One theory is that Sun Star faked his death to go live in a peaceful exile. Another theory, is that Wily went back in space found his parts and rebuilt him. Another theory is that Mega Man told Dr. Light about Sun Star, and Dr. Light found the parts and rebuilt Sun Star. Thus Sun Star got to leave a peaceful life in exile. He is not seen working for Wily in the future so it seems less likely that Wily was the one who rebuilt him. The theory about him faking his death or Dr. Light restoring him makes sense. Anyway this concludes the Sun Star Biography.
