History

Mega Man Battle Network 5: Team ProtoMan

Charlie and GyroMan appeared in Mega Man Battle Network 5: Team ProtoMan. Charlie meets Lan Hikari after he returns from the Oran Island. He mentions that he knows something about why Nebula kidnapped Dr. Hikari (Lan's father) and challenges Lan to find GyroMan, who is hidden inside the Squirrel Computer in the ACDC Town park. Later on Lan and MegaMan challenges and defeats GyroMan. Charlie tells Lan that it was another test of Lan's skill, and both he and GyroMan joins Team ProtoMan.

Later on, when Nebula takes over the Net with their Micro Servers, GyroMan fights MegaMan a second time inside Gargoyle Computer 3. Afterwards it is revealed that GyroMan was unaffected by the server, and Charlie explains that he wanted to have a rematch with Lan and MegaMan, since it might be his last chance to fight them before the battle with Nebula.

At Nebula's hideout, MegaMan and GyroMan infiltrate Factory Computer 2. As MegaMan prepares to fight ShadeMan, he summons a vortex to the Dark Galaxy, which sucks GyroMan in. Angered at the loss, MegaMan fights and deletes ShadeMan a second time. When MegaMan proceeds to fight Nebula Gray, GyroMan and the other Team ProtoMan Navis reappear from the Dark Galaxy and helps MegaMan advance.

Abilities

GyroMan's Navi mark

Speed and mobility are GyroMan's strengths in battle. He can transform into a helicopter and fly out of range of attacks.

• GyroMan is unaffected by ground attacks, holes, and negative panel effects in helicopter mode.

• Gyro Form (ジャイロフォーム, Jairo Fōmu):
  If MegaMan keeps using the Mega Buster, GyroMan will transform into helicopter mode, become untouchable, and counterattacks with a homing machine gun.
  • When playable, he turns into this form when he's over a hole panel but he can still be damaged. GyroMan's normal buster shots will now auto target enemies.

• Airforce/Gyro Force, known in Japan as
  Gyro Air Force (ジャイロエアフォース, Jairo Ea Fōsu):
  GyroMan transforms into a helicopter and bombs on MegaMan's side of the field. There is always one panel per column that is not struck.

• Tornado Arm (トルネードアーム, Torunēdo Āmu):
  GyroMan shoots a tornado three panels ahead for up to 3 hits and this removes any barriers or auras. The first panel (closest to him) will deal 1 hit, the second two, and the third three. He is very vulnerable during the attack.

• Gyro Cutter (ジャイロカッター, Jairo Kattā):
  GyroMan flings a propeller blade that travels horizontally. The blade will move up or down if the player simply sidestep in those directions.

• Bomb Liberation, known in Japan as
  Bombing Liberate (ばくげきリベレート, Bakugeki Riberēto):
  GyroMan's special ability, which liberates a dark panel without battling. Available only in Liberation Mission.

Double Soul

Gyro Soul

After the completion of Liberation Mission 3, MegaMan receives the Gyro Soul, however, it cannot be used until later, as MegaMan is captured by Nebula after the mission. The form is activated by sacrificing a Wind-type chip. This ability gives MegaMan the effects of the Customizer Programs Air Shoes and Float Shoes, which cancels the effects of holes and negative panel effects respectively. It also gives MegaMan's charge shot the same effect of GyroMan's Tornado Arm attack. After using a Wind Chip in this form the propeller on his back begins to spin.
