Block Man

"I'll drop you like a ton of bricks!"

- Block Man

Block Man (ブロックマン) is a Robot Master set to appear in Mega Man 11. He is a small robot created to work on exterior constructions, being able to create blocks one after another. His regular appearance resembles a stone castle.

In combat, he uses Block Dropper to form blocks out of thin air above his opponents to try and crush them. When in a pinch, he uses the Power Gear installed by Dr. Wily to cover his body with blocks and transform into a gigantic robot, increasing his physical strength. This gigantic form has its own life gauge. When his giant form is destroyed, he will move to a corner and constantly throw blocks.

Appearance
Block Man is a rotund, cyan robot with gold and white accents and dull, grey bricks covering his body. The lower half of his body juts out a bit, perhaps serving as a storage compartment for extra building materials.

Personality
Block Man is vain, headstrong, thick as a brick, and has "an ego the size of a pyramid."

Strategy
The first part of Block Man's battle is fairly simple; he'll run back and forth across the room. If megaman fires, Block man will jump to his postion, and stop to use Block Dropper to try and hit Mega Man with falling stones. After he uses his weapon, Block Man will go back to walking around the room until Megaman attacks again. When he loses enough health, though, Block Man will activate his Power Gear, absorb the bricks around him, and turn into a giant stone robot.

In this giant form, Block Man will slowly advance towards Mega Man and attack him by slamming the ground with his hands to crush Mega Man, throwing punches at Mega Man, and swiping the ground to send stones flying at Mega Man. To destroy this giant form, Mega Man must fire at the large red button on his chest, which is his only weak point.

Once Block Man loses all his health, his giant form will be destroyed, but then Block Man will become enraged, recover some of his health, move to one side of the room, and keep throwing stone blocks right at Mega Man until he is defeated.

Other appearances
Block Man appeared as an event character in the game Yuusha no Kuse ni Konamaiki da DASH!.

Trivia

 * Block Man was the first Robot Master from Mega Man 11 revealed to the public. During development he was tentatively named Renga Man (レンガマン).
 * Apparently, he is one of Dr. Light's most beloved creations, despite his designation as "DWN. 081", rather than "DLN. 081".
 * Block Man's design bears some resemblance to Cold Man from Mega Man & Bass and, ironically, Heat Man from Mega Man 2.
 * Block Man's giant form appears to be based on the Yellow Devil, having a similar pose from its appearance in Mega Man: The Power Battle, a red core as its weak point, and saying "bumo" after transforming in the Japanese version.
 * He is the only Robot Master that can be fought in the free demo released for Mega Man 11.
 * Block Man is similar to Stone Man from Mega Man 5 as both Robot Masters are made out of stone and summon stones out of thin air to throw at the player.
 * His giant form slightly resembles Stone Man.
 * Block Man's weakness to the Pile Driver stems from the fact that construction machines are used for breaking stone blocks.
