Tails Man
| |||||||||||||||||||||
Tails Man was a version of Mecha Tails, the Robian form of Tails, who was modified with the robotics of Mega Man's world. He was also one of the Roboticized Masters. Unlike Mecha Tails before him, Tails Man has a design strongly resembling the style employed by Dr. Wily for his own creations.
History[]
Roboticized Master[]
Tails was kidnapped along with Knuckles, Shadow and Amy by Metal Sonic v3.0 and Bass. The pair of robots delivered them to Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily, who turned them all into the Roboticized Masters. Tails Man was sent with the others to break into the Mega City Bank, where they where confronted by Proto Man. Tails Man's teammates Rose Woman and Knuckles Man quickly overcame their attacker, only for Mega Man to arrive. Subsequently, Tails Man would monitor Mega Man's battle with Sonic the Hedgehog in the Green Hill Zone, sending footage to the two doctors in the Skull Egg Zone. (SU: #51, MM: #24)
Rescued[]
After being ordered to follow Sonic and Mega Man through the Warp Ring made by Dr. Light, Tails Man continued to monitor the battle between the two heroes, now in Mega City. When the two started to talk and thus realize that neither was guilty of the crimes they were blamed for, Eggman and Wily order Tails Man to engage and destroy them. After a quick battle, Tails Man was rendered inert by the combined effects of Mega Man's Mega Buster and Sonic's Spin-Dash. Mega Man decided to copy Tails Man, but a mere touch reverts Tails Man back into normal Tails. (MM:#25)
Appearance[]
As a robotic version of Tails, Tails Man resembled his organic form, though with a number of Robot Master-esque features. His lower legs resembled white boots, while his forearms were white and cylindrical as well. Instead of a muzzle, he had a flattened faceplate beneath his two emotionless blue eyes, with a gray plate of metal with triangular points on his forehead. His organic tails became metallic rotors/wings that spun around to enable flight. The white fur on Tails' chest had also become a white plate below Tails' neck in this form.
Abilities[]
Like Tails, Tails Man was capable of flight, though his was provided by spinning rotors and engines rather than his tails. Tails Man was also capable of converting his hands into powerful cannons that unleashed an air-based attack known as Tails Wind.
Background Information[]
- Tails Man is the second Robian form Tails has appeared in, the first being Mecha Tails.
- As all of the Roboticized Masters have been given numerical designations, it is likely that Tails Man would be considered Eggman Wily Number (EWN)-000, as he was the prototype for the series. However, this has not been confirmed in the series.
- Tails Man is the only Roboticized Master to have his roboticization shown on screen.
