—TurboMan, Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge

TurboMan.EXE (ターボマン.ＥＸＥ, Tāboman Eguze) is a car-based NetNavi operated by Kai Todoroki that appears exclusively in Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge.

Appearance

This section requires expansion.

Whereas TurboMan appears to be modeled after a race car like his Robot Master counterpart, he is visually different from the former. His whole body is mainly red, has a red helmet with a dark visor and also gray pipes on top of it, yellow metallic hands with four fingers on each of them and wheels under his feet.

TurboMan has a Navi Mark representing a tire.

Game History

Although TurboMan and his operator, Kai Todoroki, are never mentioned or seen in the first Mega Man Battle Network, TurboMan and Kai were actually on the runaway bus along with Mayl Sakurai and Roll.EXE, according to evidence in Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge. The Navi ColorMan.EXE had rigged a bus to explode when it reaches its destination, and Lan Hikari and MegaMan.EXE defeat him to stop it. After the event, the two idolize Lan and MegaMan for their heroic actions.

TurboMan, along with his operator Kai, appear in Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge as a playable Navi character. They enter the Battle Chip GP tournament, because they want to become strong NetBattlers just like Lan and MegaMan.

Ability

• Turbo Wheel (ターボホイール): TurboMan shoots out fire elemental meteors ahead of him.

Manga History

TurboMan's emblem

Kai and TurboMan appears in the Battle Story Rockman.EXE manga by Keijima Jun and Miho Asada, in Volume 4 as contestants in the N1 Grand Prix. Although they have won the tournament, they are attacked by BeastMan and Takeo Inukai. Inukai uses dogs to interrupt Kai's operating, leaving TurboMan in a pinch. Lan and MegaMan soon come to their rescue to corner BeastMan, but having severe difficulty after DrillMan joins the fight and gangs up on them.

Impressed by Lan's courage, Kai stands his ground and asks TurboMan to do a counterattack: Reverse Turbo Wheel. This attacks gives MegaMan the perfect opportunity to unleash a strong battle chip attack, thus turning the tables. After GS appears and WWW executes their main plan, Kai and TurboMan are not shown again afterwards. But it is believed after this event, Kai and TurboMan idolize Lan and MegaMan, just like they did in the game.
