Graphic:

Gyro Man (ジャイロマン, Jairoman^?) is a Robot Master created by Dr. Wily that resembles a helicopter. He was originally planned to have a flying device, but it was replaced by a propeller built into his back because of the cost, and Gyro Man preferred this flight mode. In Mega Man 5, Wily ordered him to take over a hanging garden and obtain money from the admission fee, but the attendance dropped as soon as he took over the place, and Gyro Man got bored. His weapon is the Gyro Attack, small propeller-shaped cutters. Gyro Man launches himself into the air and disappears into the clouds that usually blanket the top of his room from Mega Man 5, making surprise attacks.

[edit] Other media

Gyro Man appeared in the episode "Cold Steel" from the Mega Man animated series. Gyro Man, Spark Man and Gemini Man are disguised as a rock band that hypnotizes humans with their music. In the cartoon the Gyro Attack is Gyro Man's own propeller instead of propeller-shaped cutters, and Mega Man is able to fly when using it.

The Mega Man 5 bosses have short appearances fighting against Mega Man or helping Wily in the three episodes from the OVA Mega Man: Upon a Star.

In the manga Rockman Megamix, Gyro Man appeared in the story "Holiday of Soldiers", where the eight Robot Masters from Mega Man 5 have a part-time job in a amusement park to obtain money for Wily. He works in the roller coaster and calls himself "Gyro Green" in the job to avoid being recognized as one of Wily's robots.

Gyro Man also appeared in the Rockman 5 manga.

[edit] Trivia

• "Greek Sandwich", Gyro Man's likeness in his English CD data, may have something to do with the Greek delicacy, also called a gyro (pronounced "ghee-roh").

• If the ceiling in his room is removed with a cheat device, he will fly above the screen, causing him to die, and Mega Man will be trapped in his room unless the player reset the game. [1]

• Gyro Man has a cameo appearance in the opening of Mega Man 8.
• The extra part "Sky High Wing" from Mega Man: Battle & Chase resembles Gyro Man's propeller.
