Revision as of 16:44, 27 September 2012

Proto Buster, known as Blues Buster (ブルースバスター) in Japan, is the arm cannon in Proto Man's left arm, which was created by Dr. Wily. It's Proto Man's version of the Mega Buster, but unlike it, the Proto Buster lacks a transforming mechanism, being unable to change freely into the form of an arm like the Mega Buster can.[1] However, Proto Man appears to be able to change his arm by other means, as he is seen with both arms in many instances, like Mega Man 7 and Mega Man: The Power Battle. The Proto Buster also consumes more energy than the Mega Buster, making it unusable for long periods of combat.[1]

Appearances

  • In Mega Man: Powered Up the Proto Buster can only shoot fully charged shots, without Proto Man having to charge up, though this mode is barely canon.
  • In Mega Man 3 the Proto Buster shoots regular sized shots, much like Mega Man's shots.
  • In Mega Man 7, Proto Man shoot regular shots once more. However, his charged shots are much more devastating than Mega Man's, and they took the form of a giant green blast. He can also shoot faster and in multiple directions.
  • In Mega Man & Bass, Proto Man used a charge shot against King in the first stage. Later in the game, Proto Man used the Big Bang Strike, which used up most of his energy and destroyed King's shield.
  • In Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10, the buster is only able to shoot two shots on screen and it is the only one able to shoot charged shots, which resemble Mega Man's charged shots in Mega Man 4.
