Pluto (プルート, Purūto) is one of the second four Stardroids Mega Man must fight in Mega Man V for the Game Boy. Pluto was designed for jungle combat and is invulnerable to the cold. As his appearance suggests, he is agile like a feline. Slash Man is designed after him. Pluto does not get along with Mercury, possibly because he is weak to Mercury's weapon, Grab Buster. Pluto's main attack is Break Dash, where he dashes at supersonic speed. He can also hang on walls and fire two types of energy shots from his hands.

Strategy

Pluto's pattern consists of first shooting an energy shot in form of a fireball twice, which can be avoided by simply jumping over them. Then he will use the Break Dash by the floor and from wall to wall. This is avoided by jumping over Pluto and running to the side he came. Finally, on the wall, he will throw three homing projectiles, one after the other, which is avoided by getting out of their way. He will fall off the wall and repeat the pattern. He is vulnerable to attacks when he is on the floor. Pluto's weakness is the Grab Buster, which can be used to steal his energy at each shot. He is defeated in seven hits from this Special Weapon.

The Stardroids in Rockman Gigamix

In the manga Rockman Gigamix, the Stardroids are powerful space robots that are attacking Earth, destroying several robots in the process. Pluto defeated Tomahawk Man. In the final battle, he was destroyed by Ring Man.

Pluto also appeared in a robot museum in the manga Rockman & Forte.

Trivia

• Pluto is named after the dwarf planet Pluto, which is named after the Roman god of the underworld.

• Pluto is one of the few Robot Masters in the classic series with a tail and the only one with fur.

• Pluto's attack, The Break Dash, when used by Mega Man, seems to be a crossover between Slash Claw and Charge Kick.

• Pluto's cat-like appearance maybe a parallel to the Disney character Pluto the Pup, as he was named within the same year that the dwarf planet was first discovered.
