Dr. Light and, officially, Dr. Wily, sees it as a way to test multiple Robot Master systems at once as an economic alternative to building a single specific Robot Master from scratch.

The Doc Robot is also given a brief mention in issue 38, where Dr. Wily privately remarked that he still has one ace up his sleeve, even if Mega Man managed to escape his [[Wily Walker|trap]] in the mesa and even if he managed to take down all eight of the third generation of Robot Masters before Dr. Light interrupted. During this instance, the Doc Robot can also be seen obscured in shadow behind Wily.

Revision as of 17:42, 24 December 2014

Doc Robot K-176 (ドクロボットK-176 Dokurobotto K-176) is an all-purpose robot from Mega Man 3 with a number of different attachments and devices on its body that can use the same abilities of other robots by switching its program data.[1] After defeating the eight Robot Masters, Mega Man faces one Doc Robot eight times in the stages of Needle Man, Gemini Man, Spark Man, and Shadow Man. On each battle, Doc Robot utilizes the program data of one of Dr. Wily's eight Robot Masters from Mega Man 2.

Strategy

Since Doc Robot copies the ability and characteristics of one of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 2, its strategies are more or less the same. However the player should keep in mind the size of Doc Robot being larger than most Robot Masters they have their abilities from.

Captain N: The Game Master

The Doc Robot is a small and thin doctor robot with glasses and beard that assists Dr. Wily (a literal "Doc" Robot). He only uses Metal Man's Metal Blades to attack, and was smashed by a giant pipe that he cut with one.

Mega Man (Archie Comics)

Doc Robot (designated as Diverse Operations Circuit Robot) is seen being constructed by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily in issue 36. Dr. Light and, officially, Dr. Wily, sees it as a way to test multiple Robot Master systems at once as an economic alternative to building a single specific Robot Master from scratch. Privately, however, Wily, unsurprisingly, views it as a trump card against Mega Man due to the failure of his individual Robot Masters and Copy Robot. Rock and Roll, when learning of the nature of the development, noted its use about being more dangerous than Mega Man, resulting in an argument between Wily and Rock. The Doc Robot is also given a brief mention in issue 38, where Dr. Wily privately remarked that he still has one ace up his sleeve, even if Mega Man managed to escape his trap in the mesa and even if he managed to take down all eight of the third generation of Robot Masters before Dr. Light interrupted. During this instance, the Doc Robot can also be seen obscured in shadow behind Wily.

In issue 42, Break Man collects the I.C. chips and weapon data of the eight Mega Man 2 Robot Masters so that Doc Robot can use them against Mega Man. Wily is still working on him in issue 43, and is eventually fully activated in issue 44 despite a security lockdown, as a result of Break Man being cleared for access to Light Labs. Upon being completed by Wily and Break Man, the Doc Robot joins them in confronting Dr. Light and Roll, telling the doctor (apparently with two voices) to not be troubled as they will be quick.

Mega Man Megamix

Doc Robot has a cameo appearance as one of the robots fought by Mega Man in New Metropolis.

In the manga Mega Man Gigamix, Doc Robots appears in the story Asteroid Blues, which is based on the events of Mega Man 3. They help Dr. Wily retrieve the Energy Crystal sample stored back on Earth.

Trivia

  • His Japanese name, "dokurobotto", is actually the combination of two words -- "dokuro", which means "skull", and "robotto", which means "robot". The name basically translates to "skull robot," though the joke was lost in translation and resulted in the name "Doc Robot".  Thus, in Captain N: The Game Master, the Doc Robot appears as a robotic doctor with a humanoid appearance.
  • The devices seen attached to Doc Robot at various places are what may be a buster on his right arm, a Quick Boomerang launcher on his left wrist, and a copy of Bubble Man's Bubble Lead and Crash Man's Crash Bomber module on his back.
  • Doc Robot is one of the few copy-characters in the Mega Man franchise, who not only can copy and use the abilities/weapons/movesets of another, but does not change shape or color to the person that which they are mimicking while doing so.
