Mega Man 7 introduced us to new robot masters. Like most Mega Man games element bosses were highly represented. Electricity, Ice, Heat, and even water were themes of some of the robot masters. Burst Man technically falls into the later as he is considered a water themed robot master. Mega Man 7 was the game that Burst Man made his debut in.

Background- Burst Man was originally a chemical plant worker and manager. He was created because he could handle the water and chemicals. He not only was he a manager but he was a chemical researcher. Due to his knowledge on chemicals Wily took him. Wily modified Burst Man into a combat robot master.

Wily modified Burt Man possibly during the events of Mega Man 6. Wily had him sealed away on an activation timer along with Freeze Man, Junk Man, and Cloud Man. Wily knew one day he would get caught and had a plan. While Wily was in jail Burst Man activated and joined Freeze Man, Junk Man, and Cloud Man in busting Wily out of jail.

After breaking Wily out of Jail. He took over the chemical plant that he managed and turned it to a base/fort. He rigged his stage with traps, spikes and water. He knew Mega Man was coming. Mega Man eventually showed up and defeated Burst Man. Therefore, he liberated the chemical plant.

His CD data suggest he was rebuilt or was freed form Wily. Given how he is not seen working for Wily in future games. It is highly likely he went back to managing his chemical plant for good instead of for Wily.

Appearance- Burst Man has a Rook Chess like helmet. He is a tall robot master though not as tall as Junk Man. He mostly has gold and blue armor. He has a buster cannon that he shoots his bombs out of. He has several gems on his body that are made out of chemicals. Thus, he has a lot of chemical liquid inside of him.

Personality- Burst Man was an effective manager before Wily took him. He was also known to be shy and timid. He loved mixing chemicals causing reactions including explosives. His sticky, water and chemical substances causes his peer Tubro Man problems as they cause Turbo Man to hydroplane. Even after being modified by Wily he is not aggressive as some of the others.

Attack- Burst Man loves to shoot explosives wrapped into a chemical bubble. His most dangerous attack is to enclose the player into a bubble and send them up to the spiked ceiling. He also likes to jump around a lot while shooting bombs. If he is hit he will shoot out bombs to get the last hit in. He can also cause bubbles to appear from underneath the ground to send the player into the spikes. He can also bounce off the walls.

Weakness- Burst Man being made up of chemical liquids inside of him is weak to extreme temperatures. He is weak to Freeze Cracker as this will stop him from using a lot of his explosive attacks. He is also weak to the Scorch Wheel. The Scorch Wheel will ignite him also stopping from using his attacks. It is also best to fight burst man from a distance as this will give the player reaction time and if he is hit a less chance of the bombs hitting the player.

Here is his CD Data

A chemical robot that likes explosives he loves creating them.

Good Point- Optimistic

Bad Point- happy go lucky

Likes- Nighttime binges and chemical reactions

Dislikes- Steady efforts.

I did not mention it under the personality section but Burst Man tries to be an optimistic robot master. However, he can sometimes get too laid back even after Wily modifies him. He does not like anything steady. He likes to take things easy. Given how he is not aggressive it is speculated he did not fight Mega Man with all that he had compared to his peers.

Basically, Burst Man while an effective chemical manager/researcher does not do more than he has to do. He prefers to take his time and enjoy life. It is also speculated he could take things slow because he works with chemicals and needs to be cautious.

As stated Turbo Man does not like Burst Man because Burst Man sticky chemical and water based substances causes Turbo Man to hydroplane on the road since Turbo Man can morph into a race car. It is hinted that Burst Man was either rebuilt or freed from wily and went back to work with chemicals. He also likes to shoot fireworks for festivals. This concludes the Burst Man biography.
