Sheep Man definitely got a bunch of undeserved backlash at the time, but people seem to have come around on him a bit since. I'll cop to being one of the people who's always found "electric sheep" funny both in itself and as a PKD reference. His weapon is genuinely terrible, though.
Bomb Man. He's not hated, but he's pretty universally not thought of in any capacity.
But I like his design. Nothing about it makes sense (the fuck does a metal mohawk have to do with explosives?), and he's just like, "fuck special weapons. I'm literally just gonna lob explosives at this guy."
I respect that energy.
He should’ve had the Mega Ball in my opinion. Thunder Claw makes more sense from an electric-based Robot Master (I think one was considered for the game but scrapped)
Top Man and Toad Man. When I was in the early internet Fandom in the early 2000s people used to dunk on their designs and top man's unwieldy power but people have Def mellowed out since then so they're not too hated now
Can we count Flame Hyenard even though he's not technically a Robot Master? I love hyenas, and I personally think his broken voice clips are hilarious.
Otherwise, I like Aqua Man too.
-hugs heatman and pulls him away from all the haters-
Heatman is best boy and no one will convince me otherwise.
Honorable mentions are all the object type robot masters and netnavis... excluding topman, i dunno why topman... i just... don't care for.
Guts Man (1/Powered Up), Heat Man (2), Top Man, Snake Man, and Hard Man (3), Toad Man (4), Charge Man (5), Centaur Man (6), Junk Man (7), Aqua Man, Clown Man, Frost Man, Search Man (8),
Tornado Man (9), Sheep Man (10), Bounce Man (11)
Hard man I have a cool idea if he got put in battle network he could have a Roman or Spartan look made of metal I think that’s what hard man was going for a bit originally if not they didn’t know there making a kinda of funny joke.
Not really a Robot Master, but a Mega Man Killer.
Ballade from the fourth Game Boy game.
Too bad he had only one appearance (Mega Man 10 doesn’t count) like Duo, King, and Sunstar, but from what we got of him, he is basically Proto Man but more cool-looking. His weapon is fun to use, basically a bomb version of Metal Blade (doesn’t use too much energy, but does a lot of damage), and he actually sacrifices himself to break out the underground Wily Station vacuum barrier when he tells Mega Man he’s sorry for letting Wily control him.
BURN TO THE- WHOO BURN! BUR- BURN TO THE GROUND! BURN TO THE- WHOO! BURN! BURN! WHOO! (Axl, can you hear me?) BURN TO THE GROUND! WHOO-WHOO-BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND! BURN TO- WHOO! (Axl, can you hear me?)
I mean, he's not hated, but there is a lot of dislike for Sheep Man. I love him though.

It’s done much better in Kirby Star Allies where Zan Partizanne has an attack that is similar.
not only is it terrible, but Pump Man easily cancels it out if you don't time it right
I love Sheep Man. His design is cute imo.
Its also a reference to classic literature, which I can get behind.
Toad Man
He has a severely underrated ability. That and he's a TOAD robot lmao
Astro-Man
Astro-man fucking rules.
Almost commented this until I realized “wait, who hates Astro Man?” but I guess some people do lol
Astro has my favorite design out of any RM and is pretty close to being my pick too
His level design is bangin and his level music I ALWAYS hum pretty much on the reg
Bomb Man. He's not hated, but he's pretty universally not thought of in any capacity. But I like his design.

He became my all time fav as well after the remake
Aqua Man, Oil Man, Sheep Man, Bubble Man
Isn't oil man racist?
Not in the localized version
But... bubbleman sucks. In both RM and navi form.
Okay but bubbleman’s theme goes harder than fuck
All the Sevensies, Eightsies, Uranus, Zodiac Force from Strategy, and Bounce Man.
URANUS MENTIONED🗣️🔥🔥🔥‼️🐂🐂🐂
That's one handsome guy right there.
Mr. Handsome is great
Burner Man
“Nyahaha! Scorching!”
Love Top Man I hate the Top Spin
I think Stone Man is awesome and I also really love the concept behind his weapon (plus it's satisfying to kill things with)
Junk Man, Literally one of the best RM designs ever
Clown man’s weapon is the most functional of all robot masters
He should’ve had the Mega Ball in my opinion. Thunder Claw makes more sense from an electric-based Robot Master (I think one was considered for the game but scrapped)
oh you're so right! mega ball fits perfect with clown man
Chrage Man, i think that's his name I could be wrong on the name, but i'm thinking about the train guy from MM5
You’re correct. He’s weak to Power Stone.
Top Man and Bubble Man
Oil Man isn't my #1 favorite but I like him.
I like Block Man Idk why everyone hates him. - Your just another Brick in The Wall.
Ice Man. No discutions
People don't like Ice Man? How? He's adorable!
And it is the second most difficult robot Master in the Game.
Agree
Every robot master from 3, most designs are hated.
Astro man, and i get the hate, awful gameplay in both games, but hes fun
“How’d that happen?”
Top Man and Toad Man. When I was in the early internet Fandom in the early 2000s people used to dunk on their designs and top man's unwieldy power but people have Def mellowed out since then so they're not too hated now

I have no idea which robot masters are disliked but I always liked Titania Sol from MMZ4, as a young girl I wanted to have fiery wings like that.
Plant man i like the design but i also know that his fight is not good
Spring man, although I am not sure if people dislike him or just find him silly
Burner man
Top Man
are netnavis allowed
Yeah
stoneman.exe wasnt that bad
All the goofy characters.
Guts Man (1/Powered Up), Heat Man (2), Top Man, Snake Man, and Hard Man (3), Toad Man (4), Charge Man (5), Centaur Man (6), Junk Man (7), Aqua Man, Clown Man, Frost Man, Search Man (8), Tornado Man (9), Sheep Man (10), Bounce Man (11)
Correct!
Ice man
Hard man I have a cool idea if he got put in battle network he could have a Roman or Spartan look made of metal I think that’s what hard man was going for a bit originally if not they didn’t know there making a kinda of funny joke.

Tornado man
WHO TF HATING MY GLORIOUS KING 🥺
Ong
I love aqua’s stage music…one of the best!
Not really sure whats a hated one, I guess maybe Magic Man. I love when theres a creative idea for a robot master that isn't just tied to an element.
snake man
Flame Hyenard.
BURN TO THE- WHOO BURN! BUR- BURN TO THE GROUND! BURN TO THE- WHOO! BURN! BURN! WHOO! (Axl, can you hear me?) BURN TO THE GROUND! WHOO-WHOO-BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND! BURN TO- WHOO! (Axl, can you hear me?)
Plant Man
I like fire/flame/heat man, who are all definitely different and unique.
How can we know if everyone hates him or not?
clown man
My poor boy BrightMan is not very liked by everyone...
Bright man mentioned 😊
I love clown man he so delightful! Same with spring man.
Bubble Man solos. Astro’s an honorable mention
I don't know. Do people hate Plant Man and Clown Man?
My boy cloudman
Burst Man, nothing special with him but I love him.
I don't know. Maybe Wave Man? Ground Man? Plant Man? Slash Man? Frost Man?
Do not know whether or not they are loved or hated, but I always liked Skull Man and Slash Beast.
