List of minor characters from the Mega Man game series.
Original Mega Man series
Cavemen
Cavemen
Cavemen seen in flashbacks from Super Adventure Rockman. When one of them touched Ra Moon, his hair became white and he became vicious, apparently becoming a leader that waged war against other cavemen.
Mega Man 2 robot
Unnamed robot
In promotional art for the Mega Man 2 boss character contest, Dr. Wily appears tinkering an unnamed yellow robot that never appeared in a game. Several years later the robot was used briefly in a flashback from the manga Mega Man Gigamix volume 2, where Dr. Light and Dr. Wily built him together when they were young.
Mega Man 8 robots
When Duo was helping Mega Man in the ending of Mega Man 8, four images of Mega Man's memories are shown, three of them having him dealing with unknown robots. The first scene shows Mega Man fighting against three red flying robots that can attack with electricity, in the second he saves a dog, in the third he stops a robbery, and in the last he saves two kids from a big robot with treads and hammer arms.
Newscasters
Newscasters were seen in Mega Man's Soccer and Mega Man 9. The newscaster from Mega Man's Soccer is a blond man with glasses, and the one from Mega Man 9 is a woman that resembles Chun-Li from the Street Fighter series. She also appears in the story "For Whose Sake?" of the Mega Man Megamix manga.
Chairman
Chairman
The chairman from the committee in the opening from Mega Man 11. He is voiced by Chris Smith in the English version and by Masaki Terasoma in the Japanese version.
Mega Man X series
The Day of Σ criminals
Concept art of the four Reploid criminals that appear briefly in the The Day of Σ.
A group of Reploid criminals that appeared (dead) in Chapter 3, of the Mega Man Maverick Hunter X OVA, The Day of Σ. They were supposedly hired by Sigma to hack industrial Mechaniloids stationed around Abel City, causing them to rampage. He later executes them to keep them quiet about his involvement in the events.
In the image to the right, the pair on the left are simply referred to as mass-produced criminals, one of them being named Mannequin Seawater.[1] The short, stocky yellow Reploid is identified as the criminal leader and the skeleton themed Reploid to the right of him is called "bone" (骨).[2]
In the crossover Worlds Unite, Mavericks resembling them appeared as part of Sigma's forces in Sonic Universe #76.
The Day of Σ Maverick Hunters
Several unnamed Maverick Hunters appear in the animation. They appear to be mass-produced Reploid models due to the similarity between themselves and the civilian Reploids seen in one scene. Besides the generic Hunters, in one scene there are three different Reploids inside Hunter Base: A green Reploid, a black panther-like Reploid, and a brown bear-like Reploid.
Several navigators in The Day of Σ.
Unnamed mass-produced Reploid navigators from Mega Man Maverick Hunter X and The Day of Σ. The pink-haired female is a superior version, so there are fewer of her type compared to the blue-haired female model.[1] In The Day of Σ, she briefed X and Zero, alongside the other Maverick Hunters, about discovering the location of the hack source for a Maverick attack that morning, and that Sigma had ordered for them to be dispatched to the location. She later informed them of Vile's escape from prison just as they were about to deal with another Maverick attack. She later lost connection to Sigma, and then informed them that Sigma disappeared, and that they should head to the missile base to investigate. She later discovered alongside the other navigators an unauthorized missile launch from the missile base, and worked to trace the missile's target. She ultimately discovered, to her horror, that the target of all the missiles was in fact Abel City.
In the main game, she acted as X's operator, telling him to dispatch of Sigma's lieutenants, and afterwards telling X that Zero managed to trace Sigma's main base of operations. There is also a male model that seems to be based on the generic hunter except with lighter colors.
The pink-haired female was briefly seen in a flashback to the events of the infamous Day of Sigma in "The Choice" b-story in Mega Man #50 by Archie Comics during Worlds Unite. She only has one line in the comic, where she tells Zero that she hasn't gotten any responses from either Flame Mammoth or the rest of the 4th Overland Unit, and then interrupts herself and mentions getting reports that Launch Octopus as well as his 6th Marine Unit may have joined the then-recently-turned Maverick Sigma, to Zero's shock.
Green Biker Dude
The "Green Biker Dude" (abbreviated to GBD), as called by fans of the series, was an unnamed green Maverick Hunter who came along with X in the Opening Stage of Mega Man X2. As his nickname suggests, he is a male Reploid with green armor and rides a Ride Chaser bike. He was destroyed by the shots of a Cannon Driver during the beginning of the opening stage of Mega Man X2 while preforming a wheelie. Since his death, the Green Biker Dude has become a sort of icon to hardcore fans, rallying them to fight in his memory, or more often, a subject of ridicule. His popularity stems mainly from the throwaway or "Redshirt" nature of his single appearance, as he was only onscreen for a matter of seconds before getting killed.
In the Rockman X2 manga, there is a similar character called "Boy" that was killed in the first chapter.
He is referenced in the Mega Man comic. In the story arc Proto-Type, Proto Man calls a human "Green Biker Dude" due to the fact he rides a green bike.
Injured Reploids
Some rescuable Reploids that appear in Mega Man X6.
Stranded Reploids that appear in stages from Mega Man X5, Mega Man X6 and Mega Man X7 asking for help. The small yellow Reploid that appears in Mega Man X6 is a recolor of Middy from Mega Man Xtreme for the Game Boy Color.[3]
Mega Man X4 Maverick Hunters
In Zero's story, some Maverick Hunters are seen working for Sigma in a flashback from the time he was the commander of the Hunters. They see Sigma enter to fight against a red Maverick that wiped Garma's unit, and he barely managed to survive the battle. The Hunters are surprised when they see the conditions their commander was after the battle.
In X's story, after X defeats Colonel in the Space Port, some Maverick Hunters were preparing to follow X to the Final Weapon. They told off Double for causing an accident, causing the latter to apologize. They eventually called Double a freak, although they then noticed Double undergoing a strange transformation, with two of them being killed, and the third ending up killed just as he tried to send an S.O.S. signal to X, with Double covering up his actions by claiming it was a false alarm. Double had killed them on Sigma's orders, and Double went to the Final Weapon in their place to terminate X.
Garma's unit
Garma's unit is a unit of Maverick Hunters that was mentioned by Sigma in a flashback from Zero's past. Zero killed all members of the unit, and Sigma decided to fight against him himself to avoid more sacrifices. It's unknown if the Reploids seen destroyed in Zero's dream in the beginning of the game were members of this unit.
Mega Man X5 Maverick Hunters
In the good ending, three years after Sigma's defeat, three Hunters are seen ready to go out in a mission with X to stop a Maverick in HORTE 2146 block. One of them comments that X's eyes have changed and sharpened since the time of Zero's disappearance. Those three Hunters also appeared in the Teppen card Supply.
In the bad ending, one week after Sigma's defeat, two Hunters are talking with X about how he and Zero managed to defeat Sigma, but X doesn't remember what happened in the last battle and completely forgot about Zero. Despite that, they think it's a miracle X was able to return safely, and there will finally be peace. One of them asks what is X's dream, and after thinking a bit, X says that someday he wants to create "Elysium", a paradise where the human race coexists with Reploids peacefully.
Mega Man X6 Maverick Hunters
Two Maverick Hunters seen in the Opening Stage. They got hurt by D-1000, and X told them to return to the Hunter Base and leave it to him.
Researcher
The scientist that appears in Zero's ending of Mega Man X6.
In Zero's solo ending of Mega Man X6, the "Researcher" (研究者 Kenkyuusha),[4] also known as "Mystery Scientist" (謎の科学者 Nazo no Kagakusha, "Mysterious Scientist"), is an unnamed Reploid scientist that performs Zero's sealing process. He is voiced by Yoshinori Fujita.[5] Players are left to assume that Zero has known him at least long enough to trust his motives. It is implied that this ending leads to the events of Mega Man Zero. Also, the symbol on the back of his clipboard resembles the Square button of a PlayStation controller.
The first scene of Zero's ending from Mega Man X6.
Mega Man X7 Mavericks
An unnamed type of Maverick Reploid appeared in the opening scene of Mega Man X7. Axl transforms into this Maverick in the scene he explains his abilities to Zero.
This Maverick also appeared in Sonic Universe #76, Mega Man: Worlds Unite Battles #1 and Rockman X7 4Koma Manga Kingdom.
Rowdy Reploid
Rowdy Reploid
The Rowdy Reploid is an unnamed Reploid from Mega Man X: Command Mission that reported X's presence in Chapter 2. While approaching X in Central Tower's Air City North Square, he says that he is not a supporter of Epsilon's rebellion, but as Reploids, they should support the idea of their independence. He was killed by Spider shortly after.
Saffron, Cumin and Jasmine
Saffron, Cumin and Jasmine
Saffron (サフラン), Cumin (クミン) and Jasmine (ジャスミン) are three female Reploid merchants in Mega Man X: Command Mission. They first appear in Chapter 2, where they are rescued by X in Central Tower's Base Security Station, and they sell items to him as thanks. After Chapter 2's completion, they move to the Lagrano Ruins' Area 5F-East and sell rare items. The area can only be accessed with the Lagrano Key after Chapter 3. They also appear at the beginning of Far East HQ in the last chapter.
