A list of the top ten Mega Man Bosses of All Time (Not counting bosses from the Mega Man X series on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System). Most of the choices come from Mega Man 1-3.

Is there any weapon in the Mega Man series that feels better to use than Metal Man’s buzz saw augmented with its sharp cutting sound? This weapon was quick, powerful, and extirpating of anything that came in its away including Mega Man. It could shoot in eight different directions, unlike Mega Man’s regular proton gun, and it imparted massive damage on everything whether it be boss robots or stage enemies. Metal Man who was originally designed as an improvement on the weak Cut Man from Mega Man 1, saw its improvement grow ten fold as Metal Man’s stage was equally as important as its insidious weapon to be procured. Metal Man’s stage was a mass of conveyor belts and electronic engineering throwing Mega Man into holes and making him jump the most difficult of jumps. While Metal Man himself was endowed with arguably the best weapon in the Mega Man series, his defense is what keeps him out of the top 5. He has a peculiar weakness to Mega Man’s average proton gun and is usually beaten as the first boss in the game if one wants a slightly more challenging battle for their first fight other than beating Flash Man in 5 shots with the weak proton gun. Regardless of his weak defense though, Metal Man was powerful in offense and overall design. Like Magnet Man, his weapon was attached to his head creating the sense of paranoia in the protagonist who knew he would have to encounter this mutative robot with weapons for heads. Great level, great character design and arguably the best weapon to be had in the Mega Man series, places Metal Man at #6 on our list.
