Robot Master of the Week #45: Knight Man

[Dizzy]

I'm not going to be able to update tomorrow, so I'm putting this up today.

DWN-044

Knight Man (ナイトマン, Naitoman?) is a Robot Master from Mega Man 6 designed to resemble a medieval knight, with his resistant spiked armour. He was created primarily for combat, with balanced attack and defense attributes, and it is said that he has defeated over 1000 robots in duel. Knight Man is equipped with the Knight Crush, a strong flail (sometimes called mace or morning star) with a long chain in his left arm which allows him to attack with huge power from great distances. In his right arm he holds a resistant knight's shield, allowing him to block almost all attacks from the front. In the First Annual Robot Tournament, he was reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him conquer the world. Because of his spirit of chivalry and honor, Yamato Man has great respect for him, and ironically, his weakness is the Yamato Spear, due to its ability to go around his shield and pierce his armour.

Fun Facts
-His real life designer, Daniel Vallée, is Canadian, one of the first two non-Japanese persons to win a Mega Man character contest, the other in Mega Man 6 being Wind Man's designer.
-If Knight Man is attacked with the Yamato Spear or a charged attack from the Power Adaptor, it will damage Knight Man himself since those two attacks ignore defenses.
-The extra part "Hammer Body" from Mega Man: Battle & Chase resembles Knight Man and can attack with a giant flail.
