M'egga Man

"That castle's got to go-- along with everyone in it."

- M'egga Man, Sonic Boom #8

M'egga Man is a transformation that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is the Roboticized-like version of Mega Man, who has been upgraded using technology from Sonic's World that turned him into one of the latest Roboticized Masters.

Appearance
M'egga Man has a number of design differences than his base form. Firstly, his helmet has a purple Eggman Empire insignia on the front, yellow fins on the sides resembling Eggman's mustache, and a green gem placed on the forehead. He also has yellow lines across his torso, making his armor look more like the outfit of an Egg Boss, along with having his color scheme altered to dark blue and blue from his normal light blue. His Mega Buster has also been altered to a yellow design, and his eyes have been altered to black and white, rather than his normal blue and white eyes.

History
Mega Man was captured by the Deadly Six while on a supply run for Light Labs, and taken to Sigma-1's base on the Lost Hex. Along with fellow captive Sonic the Hedgehog, he was transformed into a member of the Roboticized Masters. M'egga Man was then dispatched to Mobotropolis to set up one of Sigma's Unity Engines. This led to a confrontation between him and the New Freedom Fighters, as Antoine and Bunnie D'Coolette, Amy, and Tails tried to stop him. The powerful robot Gemerl was also called in, but proved to be no match for M'egga Man's weaponry.

Weapons
M'egga Man retains Mega Man's Mega Buster and is equipped with various weapons derived from Dr. Eggman's technology. He is able to generate these weapons from the barrel of his buster. These weapons include:
 * Egg Wrecker: A checkerboard-patterned ball-and-chain device connected loosely by rings in a chain.
 * Egg Hammer Mk 5: A mallet with spikes around the circumference of each edge, which is strong enough to match the Piko Piko Hammer.
 * Egg Bumper: A Bumper-based shield that can be used to block attacks and as melee weapons.
 * Egg Flame Cannon: Shoot multiple fireballs.
 * Egg Bubble Trap: Traps opponents inside bubble-like spheres.
 * Egg Drill Launcher: Shoot a spinning drill at foes.
 * Egg Decoy Barrier: Materializes metal spheres around M'egga Man that transform into a decoy of M'egga Man's head before exploding.
 * Egg Laser: A large yellow laser powerful enough to defeat Gemerl in one shot.

Trivia

 * M'egga Man is a very unusual member of the Roboticized Masters for a couple of reasons:
 * He is the first Roboticized Master who was not originally an anthropomorphic animal.
 * It is questionable whether the Roboticization procedure was actually used to create M'egga Ma, since roboticizing a robot would cause it to explode, but this did not apply to M'egga Man.
 * M'egga Man's weapons are references to several of Dr. Eggman's vehicles and robots:
 * Egg Wrecker is a reference to the Egg Mobile-H.
 * Egg Hammer Mk 5 is a reference to both the Egg Hammer Tank series and the Egg Hammer enemies.
