MetalMan.EXE (メタルマン.EXE[1] Metaruman Eguze), is a NetNavi operated by Tamako Shiraizumi in the Mega Man Battle Network series.
MetalMan looks mean but is kind. He punishes any bullies that dare to come into the Ura Inn[2].
Appearance[]
MetalMan.EXE looks similar to his original counterpart from the classic series, albeit with a mouth on his now-grey face instead of a red mouth plate and gears on his wrists. His helmet's spikes now point outwards rather than above him and are now silver instead of yellow. His hands only have four fingers. His boots also have their openings stylised after gears, and his shoulders have literal sawblades. His chest is blue with a gear symbol.
[]
The Navi Mark of MetalMan is merely a light gray metal gear with eight teeth.

Other appearances[]
Rockman EXE 4.5 Real Operation[]
MetalMan is one of the unlockable Navis. His theme is a remix of his Robot Master's counterpart's stage from Rockman 2: Dr. Wily no Nazo.
He has its own minigame that consists in destroying all Viruses and Navis statues with his Break Buster and his Metal Fists. Each day, before pluging in, MetalMan will ask his operator to calm his itching fists by training him in his special minigame. He can increase his max HP every time the player beats his minigame.
He can use his Metal Fists as a Special Program to punch and break the panel in front and damage enemies that are in front. Its other Special Program is the characteristic Metal Blade, which will fire a large razor that circumvents the battlefield if it is in the side of the panels. If it is in the middle of the panels, it will head straight at the target, similar to a Rounder EX's ability to target the player if it is alone. However, once hit an opponent, it disappears due to it's not designed to pierce.
Only he has a special Buster called Break Buster. Like its Soul Unison counterpart and unlike the Busters from all other Navis, it can damage even viruses and opponents who are protecting themselves, such as when a Metall hides in its helmet.
He also appears at Internet 6 blocking the path to Internet 7 and will only open the way for skilled operators who pass its minigame.
