  1. If I didn't know any better I would have said those were images of Ground Man, Gyro Man and Napalm Man!

  2. Notice these bosses have similarities with MM2:

    Concreteman with Heatman (spits concrete instead of fire)
    Magmaman with Flashman (the ground looks similar, but reversed)
    Tornadoman with Airman (small tornado attacks)

    I'm glad to see new artwork and screenshots, but... how much will you spoil the game, Capcom?

  4. Man, this blows...

    Concrete Man is a redone of Guts Man, Tornado Man is Gyro Man and Magna Man is Needle Man.

  5. I really thought when I saw those silhouettes of the Robot Masters, Plug Man was the one that Tornado Man was, guess I was wrong.

  10. I agree with shine. TornadoMan looks a lot like GyroMan and MagmaMan is almost a copy of NapalmMan. I still think that they look cool, but..... yeah.

  11. Concrete Man has the face of Guts Man, Tornado Man has Gyro Man's propellers, and Magma Man has the arms of Napalm Man... Recoloring 8-bit? C'mon Capcom!
