- "I'll drop you like a ton of bricks!"
- ―Block Man, Mega Man 11
Block Man (ブロックマン Burokkuman) 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 forms blocks out of thin air above his opponents to smash 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 & white accents and dull, grey bricks covering his body.
Personality
Block Man is vain, headstrong, thick as a brick, and has "an ego the size of a pyramid".[1]
Strategy
The first part of Block Man's battle is fairly simple; he'll run and jump around the room as he chases after Mega Man, occasionally stopping to use Block Dropper to try and hit Mega Man with falling stones. 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.

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 Rengaman, lit. "Brick Man").[2]
- Apparently, he is one of Dr. Light's most beloved creations, [2] despite his designation as "DWN. 081", rather than "DLN. 081".
- Block Man bears some resemblance to Cold Man from Mega Man and Bass. This is likely due to the fact that both of them were designed by the same artist.
