A lot of robot masters from Mega Man appear in multiple games. Astro Man is one of those robot masters that has appeared in multiple games. He made his debut as an actual boss in Mega Man 8 and has appeared in other games. He even had a cameo appearance in a game before Mega Man 8, more on that in just a bit.

Background- He was built before the events of Mega Man 7. His main job was to be a tour guide, and curator of a space museum and lab. He could create the illusion that people were in space to learn about space. However, Dr. Wily stole him.

He actually made a cameo appearance in Mega Man 7. In Spring Man's stage you can see prints of Astro Man being modified. This is considered an Easter Egg for the next Mega Man game. During the events of Mega Man 7 he was being modified for combat. Astro Man made his actual debut in Mega Man 8 as a boss.

During the events of Mega Man 8 Astro Man was under the control of Wily in his latest scheme for world domination. Astro Man takes over a space museum, possibly the one he served as curator for, and turned it into a base. He rigged his fort with illusions and mazes hoping to confuse Mega Man. However, Mega Man made his way through his base. Mega Man defeated Astro Man.

After the events of Mega Man 8 he was rebuilt by Wily and recruited by King during the events of Mega Man and Bass. However, King turned out to be a pawn for Wily as it was Wily pulling the strings the entire time. In this game Astro Man has been modified even more. Once again, he takes over a space museum and rigs it with illusions. He is defeated by Mega Man and Bass. It is revealed in his CD data that he is alive. However, it is not known if he still works for Wily. It is possible that he went back to being a museum curator after getting freed twice from Wily.

Appearance- Astro Man torso is attached to his bottom which is a large sphere in the shape of a planet. His upper body is green, aqual, and teal. Around his sphere he has two orbs that orbit around him. He has regular sized hands.

Personality- While he is an effective manager and gave tour guides before being stolen by Wily. He is actually very shy. He loves to play hide and seek. He is the master at creating illusions to try and confuse those around him. He loves being in space or talking about space. He dislikes pranks and child like humor.

Attack- In Mega Man 8 he has several attacks. He likes to use his orbs as a weapon and can send them hurling at the player. He also will vanish and teleport a lot in the battle. He can cause star like projectiles to reign down on Mega Man. His most devastating attack is the Astro Crush. Astro Man will send comet/meteor like projectiles all over the screen making it hard to dodge. This attack does a lot of damage if it hits the player.

In Mega Man and Bass his attacks are different. He still uses his orbs as a weapon. However, he can summon pit enemies to come out of the illusions he creates. His main attack here is copy shot. Astro Man will make a copy of himself and shoot the player with the copy of him also shooting at the player.

In Mega Man 8 he is weak to the Homing Sniper Weapon. The Sniper will seek out his orbs and himself when he is teleporting. The homing sniper missiles will also cause his orbs to fall to the ground. After hit with his weakness he says some funny things. He either says "I can't let that happen" "I've come here but I don't know what to do", or "good grief".

In Mega Man and Bass he is weak to the magic weapon as it can stop his illusions allowing for the player to get shots in. Bass can aim upward also allowing him to get some shots in.

If the player defeats him in Mega Man 8 they will get the powerful Astro Crush. Astro Crush can be used to clear out a lot of enemies out at once. In Mega Man and Bass they will get copy shot. The player can make copies of themselves and use the copy to fire beside of them.

Here is his CD Data

A space themed robot master he can create illusions

Good Point- Humble

Bad Point- Very Shy

Likes- space and the stars

Dislikes- child like humor.

His dislike for child humor could be a reference to kids making jokes about the planets. Since he takes his job seriously, before Wily took him, he probably was not amused. He also does not like pranks as he thinks they are immature.

In Mega Man 8 his base that he took over shows it to be in Norway. This could be a reference that Norway is known for a lot of scientific research.

Despite being made for Combat by Dr. Wily Astro Man is really not aggressive compared to his peers. He prefers to play hide and seek. This is also why he likes to create illusions. Despite not being aggressive he has a very powerful weapon the Astro Crush. Due to his powerful weapon that could be why Wily brought him back and has value in him.

After the events of Mega Man and Bass it is revealed that Astro Man is alive based on his CD Data. However, it is not clear if he still works for Wily or if he left Wily after being defeated the second time. If he does not work for Wily it is likely he went back to being the curator of a space museum.

As stated although he made his debut in Mega Man 8 as a boss. He actually made a cameo in Mega Man 7 where he was being modified by Wily. This concludes the Astro Man biography.
