Anime[]
Rockman EXE Beast and Beast+[]
In Beast, GroundMan and Dotarou are seen in Beyondard working with DustMan and Mr. Press. The team specializes in drilling through rock, either to construct tunnels or for excavation. They are enlisted by Beyondard Millionaire to help her finish a tunnel that can link two towns that are separated by a mountain. GroundMan and DustMan are materialized in front of the rock and they try to break it. They work in a combo in which GroundMan drills and DustMan pushes him. However, they are unable to break the rock and are forced to return to their PET's. The rock is later broken by Enzan and the villagers on the other side. GroundMan appears later in Beast+, in a video game in third episode and to give Ground Cross to Rockman.
