Description
IRN-005: Volt ManVolt Man was built as an electricity regulator for one of Monsteropolis’ power plants. He can split his torso and legs apart into independent sections and control electricity between them. His body is also well designed to control both current and static electricity. After malfunctioning, Volt Man has taken over the power plant, destroying the connection to the city and absorbing the electricity for himself.
So, let me tell you about another Mega Man fangame I'm helping out on, Mega Man Y+1. I made some of the character designs and will help with the sprites. We are still on an early phase of coding the levels but we may be able to show some footage soon. Im pretty excited about this one too, but I can't go on any further about the details so let's talk about the Robot Master in question. Here's Volt Man, not to be confused with that one boss from the DOS game, the electric RM for this game. You can listen to his stage theme HERE . If you wantto know more about Y+1, check out our Tumblr page HERE or visit us HERE .
EDIT: Volt Man's design has been revamped. Here's his old design for those interested: sta.sh/0mvy6vgpnbo
EDIT 2: Turns out I got the design wrong. Special thanks for NeoMan95 for the preliminary sketch of the new design. Here's the past version: i.imgur.com/nSjkC8L.png

They released a demo for Megaman Y+1.
Funnily enough, the Volt Man in Y+1 makes sound effects like the DOS Volt Man does. As a sort of tongue-in-cheek shout-out to him.

Later on, I created my own Volt Man. The old design and full flavor text is here , and the new design is over there .

Also as shown in the demo that was released, he also makes sound effects like the DOS Volt Man does.

This is a nice design. It looks like the perfect representation for the Power Man Robot Master described in Dragão Brasil Especial 14 where they tried to get Mega Man to fit the "3D&T" roleplaying system.
"Through the door comes a robot with a robust appearance, with red eyes and two large antennae on the shoulders; electrical sparks between the antennas. He is Power Man, the new creation of Wily."

Such an improvement on the previous design. He definitely gives out that electric vibe more better now.

Nice look here. It's fun seeing headless bots.

Oh look, a combination of Spark Man and Needle Man. Either ways, I still like it. It looks more superior than the old design.

Hey, Tbh, I rather this version of Volt Man than of Mega Man DOS's.
I don't see why this design would be revamped though... Well, I can't wait to see his new design though.

the new design is much better

Looks like you're gonna have to make a new one for the new design, huh

Yeah, saw his new sprite, gonna change him, gbut I might have to do the others first.

Hey, I'm friends with one of the developers of this game! Makes me feel kind of special.

He reminds me of anything but electricity.
Toothpaste, Ice Cream Maker, Lemon Squeezer as mentioned, and more that's kinda just ruined simply because he's light blue. Yes I'm aware blue lightning can exist but the palette makes me think more of an ice type, though that doesn't detract from the fact that this is pretty great!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, we made him blue because he shared color palettes with 2 other RM's. Still, we thought that him being electric blue would still fit his design after coming up with different palettes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Still... nothing screams "electric" with the design, but not my problem really.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, like I said to another, once you see him in battle, it gets pretty electrifying despite his somewhat tame appearance. Trust me, I've seen what he has to offer

I'll take your word for it since I don't know too much about this character other than the design, so based off it I don't get the vibe.
Is there even any fan game to this yet or is it just conceptual stuff?

Mega Man Y+1 a promising fangame made by members from inc and by extension, the ifi people. I understand there was some history between you and the Deadteam so I'll stop there. I'll say this though, Volt man has the most tame design of the 8 bosses, the RM group here are very interesting.

I used to work for Infamous Intent, but we had complications getting along. I personally don't think it was either side that was to blame but simply the fact we didn't make as refined of a relationship as it could've been... so things had to happen and it wasn't for the best, but I've moved on from being taken away from a project I was part of the reason it even existed in the first place.
As for those at INC, I found some people quite respectful so I'd be more interested to hear if some old buds like Rhythm and ACE have any part in it.
I'll say this though, I am hoping that the Robot Masters in Y+1 have that same charm as the official titles had because regardless of my past experiences with IFI or not... I still think it's lineup is very lack luster (too many humanoids though I suppose their excuse is Dr. Famous but it kinda just makes the roster of RMs seem rather bland). So seeing a lineup with someone like Volt Man does show some promise already, I'd ask if they're in need of assistance of any kind but I feel I have no business with folk at Sprites-INC. Unless it's run by some new folk who wouldn't mind having another guy up for the test of assisting with a Mega Man fan game, in which case I might consider.

Not really sure what he is. I guess kinda like a nuclear reactor core or something. The blue suggests the same. Or maybe a collider? XD Or nothing at all! Not like it's required for RMs to look like regular equipment.
Still, he definitely looks unique and cool! Simple and distinct enough to be easily recognizable. Must be a pain to pose though. But this really works. Nice job on this as always!
EDIT:
Oh, and that theme sounds so legit man. Awesome!

Compared to the other RM's featured in Y+1, his design is quite tame. I know what you mean, the likes of Hard man show that the design concept for all RM's can be esoteric from time to time. As said below, he is based on a generator but during his battle, his design will make sense, can't expand on that further though. Thanks man.
You should give a listen to the other tracks too. The same people who've worked on this also worked on the new soundtrack for Mega man revolution: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJeBi-…

I'm sure it will. That thing on top of his head looks really important, and is probably the core of his design concept.
That sounds so legit too! Gotta have galloping beats below sweeping catchy harmonies for an awesome Megaman experience!
