Fire Stallion is the reploid who snapped. If Sparta would of ever created reploids, he’d be one of them. When he was rebuilt, his personality became far more aggressive, and his senses were twisted. Deep down, the Southern cowboy, Fire Man, is a courageous individual with a strong sense of justice. However, his deluded mind managed to equate “setting the world aflame” in the same category as “the path of righteousness.” He was also reprogrammed with the belief that all mankind as evil, and can only be brought to justice through oppression. His eyes are normally blue, but turn flaming red with the white of his eyes burning yellow. However, considering that he is usually in rage, they are “normally” red. He is extremely quick, and even more powerful. With his sheer determination, he has earned his place as an A rank maverick. Most of his attacks require quick reflexes and constant dashing at the right time in order to avoid them. Fire Stallion’s main attack is “Fire Storm,” which sends waves of fire behind and in front of him. His second attack is “Inferno Blitz,” a swift charge attack that covers him in a vortex of flame. “Overheat” damages all surrounding foes, “Rising Heat” damages everything above him, and “Fire Wave” damages everything within several feet in front of him. “Flaming Hoof” is a kick that he executes while jumping. His final desperation move is “Fire Inferno,” which damages everything in a HUGE range. However, he can only activate this move when in the center of the room. On top of all this, he moves around very quickly, and is constantly doing difficult to predict moves. His weakness is slashing attacks. His body, although well designed, has little resistance to blade attacks, and is easily harmed by such. He went on rampage, and is attempting to completely burn down a major city.

Fire Man; clearly one of the most awesome robot masters to be reinterpreted in Mega Man Powered Up. The gung-ho attitude, the western flare, the indiscriminant justice, and that simple fact that he will set you aflame with his righteous enthusiasm before setting you aflame literally, just has a sense of awesome to it. The original build itself was also quite impressive, and clearly was one of the bosses that made you panic. I basically gave Fire Stallion the exact same personality as his Powered Up counterpart, save for the twist of extreme insanity that was just a smidgen more over the top than Wily’s programming.

Fire Stallion was the most fun reploid to draw yet. The reason it took me the longest is because I have never drawn a horse in my life without making it look like trash. For this reason, I tried to find every horse picture I possibly could, and ever so carefully tried to recreate the same head shape. I think my experiment has been successful, at least somewhat. His face does not quite reek the amount of that “I’m bat crazed insane, and I want to shoot everything that moves!!!!” feel that I was going for, but it’s close enough to leave alone. I might try to redraw him when (or if ) I improve on my drawing skills, but until that time, don’t expect it.

I have successfully finished the final member of the 8 W Mavericks!!!!!!!! However, he won’t be the last. I have no story plans out yet, but I can think of quite a number of other robot masters that would make great reploids, such as Bubble Nudibranch, Flame Locust, Yamato Fox, Air Albatross, Knight Lion, Slash Wolverine, Spring Gecko, Turbo Raptor, Tomahawk Raven, and Wind Panda. On top of that, I plan on drawing and submitting the other members of the W Mavericks, (eventually) such as the main villain. If there are any ideas that you (the reader,) have in mind for me to draw, be it one of my ideas or otherwise, please feel free to mention so in the comments section alongside your opinions on the drawing. Since I am finished with my main project, however, I will begin expanding my horizons.
