Grenade Man (グレネードマン Gurenēdoman) is a Robot Master created by Dr. Wily visually designed after a hand grenade (specifically a Mk 2 grenade, aka a "Pineapple Bomb"), having a similarly textured stomach area, and a headpiece reminiscent of a striker lever. He is sadomasochistic, enjoying both inflicting and receiving pain, particularly through getting himself caught in the explosions he creates. He fights primarily using his Flash Bombs and other such high-explosive weaponry. A special Overdrive system is installed in him, allowing him to move very quickly and to temporarily boost his power.
During the events of Mega Man 8, he was stationed at an ammunition factory somewhere in Chile, causing havoc with his soldiers and explosive weaponry.

- There is an enemy called the Walking Bomb in Mega Man 3 located in Shadow Man's stage that bears a striking resemblance to Grenade Man, as both are based on grenades.
- Frost Man, Grenade Man, Astro Man, and Clown Man are the only Robot Masters in Mega Man 8 that do not have a MegaMan Battle Network series counterpart.
