AVAST ME HEARTIES! The surprise drop of a new Robot Master is none other than that pilferer of plunder, that swashbuckler that surpasses Errol Flynn, that ruthless captain that you no doubt have heard of: PIRATE MAN!!!


That’s right, marking his newfound access as an obtainable Robot, Pirate Man debuts with some fancy new sprites from MegaBossMan, and two fun Alts for a potential role as a Commodore or Buccaneer! And of course a fancy Weapon Alt based on the Remote Mine palette for Mega Man. Speaking of Remote Mine...

What’s that? He appears with his signature Master Weapon in tow? This pirate has all sorts of booty coming along with him! Remote Mine when used attaches itself to the field rather than the target. You are able to toss out as many as you’d like before detonation and for each turn they stay out there, they grow in strength! When you detonate a Mine, if there are any adjacent to the detonated one, they will also detonate, creating a rolling explosion liable to make any rogue of the seas let out a hearty YO-HO! Having more mines does not affect the amount of damage each mine does but can easily dish out damage across the board if you set them right.



Now while you may be concerned about yet another Explosion-type Robot making its appearance (looking at you MegaManMaker), make no mistake that this Pirate has a few tricks in his treasure chest. One may note that despite being an Explode core, Pirate Man has a lot of water in his stage as well as his boss room from MM&B. So much water it’d make IGN consider lowering its score. Well that’s because Pirate Man is bringing along with him a new concept: PASSIVE SKILLS!! A new mechanic that gives some robots additional perks and benefits. Pirate Man will start this new trend with his awesome Passive Skill: Seafaring. This allows Pirate Man to equip and use Water-type abilities as if he were a Water-core without having to hold a Water Core!! Can never trust a Pirate to play by the rules.

So how can one unlock this suave, sneaky, scourge of the Seven Seas? Why through a new Shalle--*ahem* Challenge Mission of course! Face off against Pirate Man and his rowdy crew for the chance to take him down and become the PIRATE KING!!! Or at least unlock him for your team.
Good Luck, and adhere to the Pirate Code in all your hunt for booty.
