This article is about the original Tomahawk Man. For his NetNavi counterpart, see TomahawkMan.EXE.
"Tomahawk Man does not lie."
—Tomahawk Man, Mega Man & Bass database

Tomahawk Man (トマホークマン Tomahōkuman) is a combat Robot Master from Mega Man 6 designed with an Aboriginal North American warrior motif. Unlike the other seven Robot Masters from Mega Man 6, Tomahawk Man was built purposely for the First Annual Robot Tournament. However, he was reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him conquer the world, and was defeated by Mega Man.

His main weapon is the Silver Tomahawk, which he can easily throw and hit a target 100 meters away (328 feet, miscalculated as 30 feet in his English CD data), but it moves in an upward arch, leaving a safe area for the opponent. To compensate for this, he can also attack by firing feathers horizontally from his head-dress.

Personality[]

Tomahawk Man is very brave when it comes to battle, though he tends to be very strict and exclusive in not allowing anyone to know of his personal lifestyle. He is an expert horseback rider and doesn't like those who lie or deceive others.

Video game appearances[]

Mega Man 6[]

Tomahawk Man is one of the eight Robot Masters, and defeating him rewards Mega Man with his Silver Tomahawk.

Attack pattern[]

Tomahawk Man's battle can be a little tricky, as being a reactionary boss, most of his actions require strict reactions in order to dodge them safely. To move, Tomahawk Man jumps forward in Mega Man's direction, rebounding off a wall if he collides with it. He has three types of jumps: a very high jump, a shorter but longer jump (both of them avoided by sliding) and a fake jump, which is just a small hop to get closer to Mega Man. Tomahawk Man has 2 attacks: his first is to throw his Silver Tomahawk, which travels forward in an inverse arc, eventually flying over Mega Man's head if he stays far away. Tomahawk Man's second attack makes up for this: his fires a set of 3 feathers from his headdress. They all travel forward but spread out from each other in speed: they are easily dodged from a distance by sliding under all of them. Tomahawk Man has slightly different cooldowns after these attacks before doing his next action: he waits half a second after the Silver Tomahawk leaves the screen, but will do his next action as soon as the last feather leaves the screen. It is best to fight Tomahawk Man within a medium distance, because both of his attacks can be slid under with good timing, and it'll be easier to slide under him when he jumps towards Mega Man. Worst case scenario is to hide in the corner, because Tomahawk Man can very easily corner Mega Man without giving him any chance to escape unscathed.

Weakness[]

Tomahawk Man is weak to Plant Barrier, which defeats him in 7 hits. However, since the barrier cannot be thrown, Mega Man has to fight him exclusively up-close with it, and as the entire ammo bar is needed to defeat him with it, it can be quite difficult to beat him with the Plant Barrier without taking damage. As with all bosses, Tomahawk Man takes 3 damage from a fully-charged buster shot. He also takes 2 damage and knockback from a fully-charged Power Adaptor punch, though it will simply make him do another action.

Rockman Strategy[]

Tomahawk Man appears twice in this game, first as part of a tribe with Napalm Man and Pharaoh Man. Later, he and Elec Man serve as bodyguards to Pisces in North-East Africa, in the level "In a Tornado".

Mega Man (Archie Comics)[]

Tomahawk Man appears in the Archie Comics Mega Man series, appearing earlier than the story of Mega Man 6 by debuting in the Worlds Collide special event. He and most of the other Robot Masters from the classic Mega Man series appear as part of an army that attacks Mega Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, and their allies when the group arrives at the Wily Egg in the Skull Egg Zone.

Mega Man Megamix[]

In the manga series, Tomahawk Man is a combat robot that entered in the first World Robot Championship in the story "The Strongest Enemy to Date". Tomahawk Man and other seven competitors were reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him conquer the world, but they were defeated by "Mega Man". After Mr. X's defeat, the destruction of his base stopped the signal controlling them, and they are repaired by Dr. Cossack.

Mega Man Gigamix[]

He appears in vol. 2 of the manga in the story "Moon of Darkness", where he is defeated by Pluto. He reappears repaired near the end of vol. 3.

Other appearances[]

Tomahawk Man also appeared in the manga Rockman 6 and Rockman 4Koma Dai Koushin, and a brief appearance in the Rockman & Forte manga.

Trivia[]

  • Tomahawk Man has a cameo appearance in the opening scene of Mega Man 8.  Strangely, he never uses the move displayed (a slashing melee attack) in the game and there are no trees in his level.
  • In Tomahawk Man's mugshot in Mega Man 6, the piece of armor that covers his forehead, rather than being blue, is the color of his skin.
  • Tomahawk Man's weakness to the Plant Barrier might be a reference to the fact that flowers are a symbol of peace, since Tomahawk Man was built exclusively for fighting, thus being a symbol of war.
    • Alternatively, certain plants in real life such as poison ivy are toxic and carry diseases, and Native Americans have been susceptible to diseases and epidemics, to the point where some smaller tribes neared extinction after facing a severely destructive spread of disease.
  • Tomahawk Man and his stage are believed to represent the United States. His design appears to incorporate elements of both Aboriginal North Americans and cowboys, while his stage seems to be set in the American Old West; additionally, a Tomahawk is a type of axe commonly used in what is now the United States during the 17th century.
  • Ironically, the axe wielded by Tomahawk Man is not actually a tomahawk, as it more closely resembles a viking battleaxe. Tomahawks are traditionally made from stone and have only one blade, not two.
