"Goyoda, goyoda, goyoda!"

—Bob Copper's famous Japanese line.

Bob Copper, known as Goyoda Heiji (五陽田 ヘイジ, Goyoda Heiji) in Japan, is a character from the MegaMan Star Force series. He is an officer from the Satella Police and has an antenna on his head which function as a siren. He tries to solve anomalies involving Z-waves.

Game History

Bob appears in the first game questioning Geo about the Z-waves near his house and again when he and Omega-Xis are in the Wave World. They go into a baseball machine and knock him out cold with it, breeding his dislike of baseballs. He saves Geo and Aaron Boreal from a giant Z-Wave Ball when it tries to turn them into EM Waves. He later appears as a background character in Time Square.

Copper also appears in the second game, this time only investigating unusual EM waves across the world prior to the UMAs' attacks. He is also involved in a couple of side-quests throughout the game - one where he arrests Rich Dotcom, and in his own personal side-quest.

Although he is not involved in MegaMan Star Force 3's main plot, he can be found in Alohaha's beach area.

Anime History

MegaMan Star Force

In the anime, Bob is dedicated to finding out who Mega Man (and to some degree, Harp Note) is, chasing him obsessively. But, he comes to rely on Mega Man later, as he is unable to fight FM-ians on his own.

When ever he will chase EM viruses, he will usually yell "Goyoda, Goyoda, Goyoda!"

Shooting Star Rockman Tribe

He is first seen demonstrating a new tool invented by Tom Dubius, which appears to be a rifle that can use a Star Carrier as a scope. Near the end of the series, he is sucked into the Mu Continent, and there he places Dr. Vega under arrest after Mega Man destroys Hollow. Vega escapes into the temple, however, and Copper is pulled out of Mu to Earth as Le Mu regains its former strength.

Trivia

• Copper is often subject to comedy scenes throughout the series in both the anime and games, often finding himself in a humorous situation when he tries to arrest someone.
• Concept art shows that Bob Copper was intended to be a more serious character (similar to Baryl), but it was scratched for his more comic design.
• Gilbert D. Stern from Archie's Mega Man comic appears to be based on Copper.
