"Some clowns short of a circus."
—Clown Man, Mega Man & Bass database

Clown Man (クラウンマン Kuraunman) is a mischievous Robot Master from Mega Man 8. He was originally a robot designed for an amusement park, but he was stolen, reprogrammed, and remodeled for combat by Dr. Wily, gaining the ability to telescopically extend his arms and channel high-voltage electricity through them as part of his Special Weapon, the Thunder Claw. The leftover parts used on his modification were later used by Wily to help create Frost Man. Clown Man can also temporarily surround his body in a ball of electricity and bounce around in fast and erratic patterns for a unique attack called the Thunder Carnival. His weakness is Tengu Man's Tornado Hold, which can knock him out of the air during his flying trapeze swing and leave him tangled up in his own arms on the ground for a few seconds before he's able to recover.

Clown Man made his base in an amusement park somewhere in the east of Australia. Despite his mischievous, silly nature, he is a good sportsman. He is also highly emotional, being prone to bouts of disliking everything and everyone around him. Clown Man is highly skilled on the flying trapeze and incorporates this into his attack strategy in an attempt to collide with his foes.

Appearance[]

Clown Man is a clown-themed humanoid robot with blue eyes, pink markings around his eyes, red lips and has a black body. He wears a white helmet with a purple vertical stripe, a blue triangular gem on the top front, light greenish part on each top side of the helmet with yellow cones connected to each of them and also two pink spherical parts on each cones. Clown Man has a yellow collar, long arms with a pattern of yellow and cyan rings on each of them, pinkish rings on each of his wrist, white hands with purple fingers on each of them, white-purple leg armors, and yellow feet with each of them having a black vertical stripe and a pink sphere.

Boss Guide

Clown Man is one of the first four Robot Masters his attacks can be unpredictable making them hard to dodge during the battle he swings back and forth on the trapeze getting faster until he let's go and using that momentum to try hit Mega Man he can also send his Thunder Claw into the ground and below Mega Man's feet if the attack connects it will hold him place followed by electrocuting him lastly he can perform Thunder Carnival which involves enveloping himself in a ball of electricity and bouncing around the arena. He is weak to Tornado Hold if used while Clown Man is swinging on trapeze he will get thrown into air and tangle up his arms leaving him vulnerable to Mega Man's attacks.

Other media[]

Rockman 8[]

In the manga, Clown Man disguises himself as a small wind-up robot called Antonio Takeda the Third before revealing himself to fight Mega Man.

Mega Man (Archie Comics)[]

Clown Man is also featured in Archie Comics' Mega Man series, debuting during the Worlds Collide crossover. He joins a large army of Robot Masters dispatched to attack Mega Man and Sonic the Hedgehog's team of allies, and was seen approaching Shadow the Hedgehog, though he evidently failed to defeat him. Shortly before Light's Robot Masters arrived as the cavalry, Clown Man was seen with several other Robot Masters attacking the (by that point) extremely exhausted team of heroes, although Knuckles nonetheless managed to land a hit on Clown Man.

Other appearances[]

Clown Man has a brief appearance in the end of Mega Man Gigamix and the short stories from Rockman Maniax.

Trivia[]

  • Clown Man and Tengu Man are the only Robot Masters to trash-talk the player in Mega Man 8 if they score a hit. In his case, Clown Man calls Mega Man a "wimp" for falling to his Thunder Claw.
  • During Capcom's boss character contest for Mega Man 8, Clown Man was one of three robots created using a pre-made design template supplied to fans, along with Search Man and Sword Man. Clown Man's template was known as "Long Arm Robot".
  • The North American Mega Man 8 manual states that Clown Man was originally a robot used on a science fiction TV show that Wily rescued after its cancellation. Made of old sets and props, Clown Man displays the charisma of show business. As Dr. Wily can't stop laughing at his long arms, Clown Man became especially proud of them due to never getting a laugh while on the show.
  • The basis for the Thunder Claw may be the joy buzzer, a handheld device used to generate a harmless but surprising shock during a handshake.
  • Although ColorMan.EXE and CircusMan.EXE have some similarities with Clown Man, neither one is considered his NetNavi counterpart. However, his original concept, shown during the credits of Mega Man 8, did show him standing on a giant ball.
  • Clown Man is one of two entertainer-themed Robot Masters, the other being Magic Man from Mega Man & Bass. Interestingly enough, both are weak to Tengu Man's respective weapons (Tornado Hold and Tengu Blade).
  • His quote, "See you in my dreams," could be a reference to Stephen King's It. In a scene where the character Eddie takes a shower, Pennywise the Dancing Clown comes out from the water drain to terrorize him, and before leaving, he says, "See you in your dreams."
  • He has the longest stun time from his weakness being used on him of any Robot Master in Mega Man 8, taking around six seconds to recover. Most of the others take four or five seconds, while Grenade Man can't be stunned at all.
