Clown Man made his base in an amusement park somewhere in the east of Australia.

He is highly skilled on a [[wikipedia:Flying Trapeze|flying trapeze]], which he incorporates into his attack strategy to swing up and around repeatedly in an attempt to collide with his foes.

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.

"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.
