The seventh Robot Master. The upper body was the most difficult part to make, and I think it shows.

Despite that, Magma Man is one of my favorite designs. The advantage in designing robots is the possibility of breaking the boundaries of human proportion. However, his shoulders and cannon designs limit the positioning of his arms. If official art is any indication, Magma Man shouldn't be able to stretch his arms in any way, so he should've been incapable of half the poses he does in the game itself.

still a cool design even if he's immobile

Fire would need to be animated, and if I animated this one, I'd have to animate all the others. It would be easy enough to animate some of them, but the likes of Concrete Man would be very time consuming.

Magma Man is already considerably larger than Mega Man in this style. At the time of this post, the size of each MM9 Robot Master is up to interpretation, so my only concern was making sure their proportioning was faithful to official art; this solution worked out nicely, since the size pretty much determined itself. Magma Man doesn't need to have Concrete Man's size to look bulky and intimidating.

You do have a point about the angle of the cannons and I made adjustments to them. Hopefully they look better now.

Needleman much?
I think the best of the robot masters that you've done, very very slick.

That's pretty good, but where's his fire!? That would have made it a lot better.

I also think his upper body is too proportionally big compared to his lower body (especially his legs). I recomend just making the lower part bigger, since I think he should be fairly large compared to Megaman. I'd probably aim for something close to ConcreteMan's size, but a bit smaller.

His back buster also seems to be bent. :P The silver trim is at a 0 degree angle, while the red part has more of a curve. It might just be due to the outlining, in which case, I'd just angle up the silver trim.

And his art shows he can at least move his shoulders forwards and back. :P But he'd probably have trouble putting his arms up and to his side.
