| This article is about the original Plant Man. For his NetNavi counterpart, see PlantMan.EXE. |
Plant Man (プラントマン Purantoman?) is Robot Master from Mega Man 6 designed as a flower, which can be used as camouflage. He was originally created as a keeper of a botanical garden, and is said to be able to communicate with plants. Because of his popularity, he became the mascot of the garden. He's very sensitive and can get depressed easily.
After hearing of the First Annual Robot Tournament, he was modified for combat and equipped with the Plant Barrier, a Special Weapon that creates a barrier of energy that takes on the appearance of spotted flower petals. In the tournament, he was reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him in his plan to conquer the world.
In the fighting games Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, Plant Man can also shoot from his arm cannon and create small robot plants to help him. His weaknesses are the Blizzard Attack in Mega Man 6 (he's also semi-weak to the Flame Blast), Gyro Attack in Mega Man: The Power Battle and Atomic Fire in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters.

Strategy
Edit
Mega Man 6Edit
Plant Man's pattern is: activating a Plant Barrier, jumping, throwing it at Mega Man and running at him. Plant Man will then repeat the pattern over and over. The player has to jump over the Plant Barrier and shoot at Plant Man while still having time, then jumping to avoid contact damage when he runs at Mega Man. His weakness is Blizzard Attack, but it cannot hit him when Plant Man uses his Plant Barrier. It defeats him in seven hits. Also, Flame Blast is his semi-weakness, but just as Blizzard Attack, it cannot hit him when he uses his Plant Barrier. It defeats him in fourteen hits.
Mega Man: The Power BattleEdit
In Wily Land, Plant Man will create flowers based on him trying to stop Mega Man. His weakness is Gyro Attack.
Mega Man 2: The Power FightersEdit
In the desert, Plant Man will behave like the one in the first Power Battle, except, he'll create a Plant Barrier by saying "Plant Barrier" and throw it. Later, the enemy flowers based on him will fly to make it difficult to battle. His weakness is Atomic Fire.

TriviaEdit
- Although Plant Man has an arm cannon, he does not use it in Mega Man 6. However, his data file in Mega Man Megamix says that his arm cannon is his Plant Barrier discharger, suggesting that it was meant to fire off the weapon. This is further supported by the fact that, in MM6, Plant Man will raise his arm cannon as he fires off the Plant Barrier.
- Plant Man has a cameo appearance in Mega Man 7, in the background of the Robot Museum. His holding tank is directly behind Heat Man's. There seems to be another Plant Man near the beginning as well, but it is not known if it is a knockoff or a glitch by Capcom.
- In Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, Plant Man's music is a remix of Crash Man's music.
- Interestingly enough Plant Man is weak to Gyro Attack in Mega Man: The Power Battle but in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters Gyro Man is weak to Plant Barrier (Plant Man's weakness having been switched to Atomic Fire), so both bosses switch weaknesses between games.
- Plant Man's official artwork shows him with vines, but none are seen on his MM6 sprite. This could be because of restrictions by the capabilities of the NES, and he appeared with them in Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters.
