Mega Man 11's Anniversary

[V1ralGam3r]

Okay, that thing's probably a piece of head / eye, but the lizard part of my brain immediately tried to identify it as a piece of butterfly shrimp.

Whoever's behind the shadow, he hongri.

[noovax]

if you look at the Torch Man promotional art you will see the shape and direction the eye is pointing are both accurate. personally I hope for this because it means bosses are now more aware of terrain if the prediction is correct.

[Neo Cutman]

a yellow and red eye. Acid Man! Yes please!

[BenPlusMM]

i opened it in notepad and got this garbage
edit: switched to notepad++

Happy anniversary, Mega Man 11!

It kinda looks like a music note!
Music Changer maybe?

It looks like it could be from Torch Man's mugshot

IT'S A TORCH MAN MUSIC CHANGER! THE DEVS HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!

[astro man]

Well, as we know this is aimed at Mega Man 11, let me tell you that if you look beyond the bosses, you could realize what is hidden in this image ...
If you don't know, let me give you a hint .....
As we well know, most people explain this image as the eye of some character or boss, but looking in more detail the eye seems to be The devil if I am not mistaken or the colors may not be completely accurate, but they can be man's torch .. why? because if you still do not know each master robot according to its element or theme, its eyes will be in accordance with its color or the color of the weapon that the player obtains after destroying them, so they will be torch.
I hope you agree.

[Blast Man]

[astro man]

Very good observation, but I choose to be the clue of the first boss we face in the fortress.
edit: I discovered that separating the iris and pupil from the image is a certain resemblance to something, but I don't know what ...
I did it in Paint 3d and I use the magic selection tool.

[Neo Cutman]

Let me explain why I think it may be the Acid Man.

This eye shape is very similar to Acid Man's as Blast Man's too, but the yellow around iris in the 8 bit limitations could represent the liquid inside the Acid Man's helmet that covers his face. Blast Man eye has white around iris, could be changed from the original, but I see no reason for that.

[Blue_Bummer]

The evidence is most likely pointing to Blast Man, with his red eye and the pixel color around the eye most likely matching his face color.... If that even is a robot master eye like we think it is.

Then again, it might be Fuse Man, if the Devs are going by the ingame colors rather than promotional art.



I'm happy to get either... But I have to agree that MMM is lacking in the department of Fire, Ice and water themed robot masters. It currently has 1 robot master each of those types out of 9 Mega Man games.

It's understandable that attack patterns are important due to the limitations of AI in the game engine, which in turn effects the choice of robot masters. Robot masters that don't significantly transform during a fight with attack patterns that can handle uneven terrain would (appear to) be...

Fuse Man
Blast Man
Torch Man
Tundra Man

Bounce Man splits into pieces which isn't really a transformation impossible for this engine, so I suppose he's doable.

The following I don't see ever making it into MMM due to constraints of the game engine.

Acid Man requires an Acid environment below him for his attack pattern.
Block Man transforms into a block giant.
Impact Man transforms into a giant jack hammer.

If you duplicate the image, flip it horizontally and put it next to the original in the same file, it looks like this:



I wonder if we're getting Wily Tower content in the next update.

[Gravitrax64]

Its possible it might not even be a robot master.

[Uranus]

I have a theory, Its not a MM11 robot master neither a wily boss, But it's a robot master who came form Megaman 1 - 10, Let Me Explain

Firstly the eye is pixel art, yeah pretty obvious. Finally is the shape, The eye shape is similar to almost all of the 1 - 10 RM.

So based on my calculations, the most likely masters are

- Quick Man

- Gemini Man

- Slash Man

- Hornet Man

- Magma Man

- Commando Man

- Chill Man

That is all

[protoman242]

Its possible it might not even be a robot master.

[ihazkirbro]

It's definitely a MM11 Robot Master, lemme explain why:
1: this post was created as an anniversary for MM11, if it was anything else it would have a different post associated with it.
2: we have already figured out it's an eye, as proven the the image above with the flipped image, however, more than half of the MM11 Robot masters (if not all, im going off of memory here) have the same or similar eye structure, with a red pupil.
3: 1.6 is adding MM10 and MM11 content exclusively, meaning that it has to be from one of those two games.

And while we know its a MM11 RM, we dont know which one because of Reason 2..

[AppendixOfTheCards]

The image surely does look like an eye, but when I first saw it I thought it was Super Metroid-style stage map! Such mystery, I can't wait for the unveiling!

[Gravitrax64]

Based on the way the "eye" is positioned, combined with this fact the iris is red, I can only conclude that this "eye" belongs to Tundra Man.

Torch and Fuse are a close match, but their eyes are black and purple respectively.

Although, it's probably not even an eye. IDK

That is a right eye, and it's pupil is in the center of the eye. Tundra man's right eye matches the shape, but not the color of the sclera. Tundra man's pupil is not even in the center of the eye. So it can't be Tundra man.

Happy anniversary, Mega Man 11!

Wrecking, tell us please.

[anthonytheredbear]

Happy anniversary, Mega Man 11!

[SMAAASH!!! Puppy]

Guys this is silly.



This eye clearly belongs to Pronto Man.
