Description

“There is no overkill, only pain!”

Reploid Name: Needle Porcupine
Original Robot Master: Needle Man
Weapon: Needle Cannon, Spike Ball (Piercing)
Weakness: Barrier
Rank: A
Allegiance: Wily Elite
Position: Artillery Specialist

Needle Porcupine is the fourth member of the Wily Elite. He is both paranoid and trigger happy. He is extremely cautious, and although seemingly unsound, is incredibly formidable. He worked alongside Ice Hedgehog for a short duration before the end of the W Maverick War. His love of firepower has no equal. Needle Porcupine’s signature move is his “Needle Cannon,” which fires a rapid amount of needles like a machine gun. His version of the attack is four times as fast as his previous form. His second attack is “Back Spine,” in which the spines on his back extend, which he uses to gorge his enemies with. “Spike Ball” allows him to transform into a ball and roll all over the field, like Armored Armadillo’s “Rolling Shield.” His desperation attack is a Spike Ball that shoots out needles. Needle Porcupine’s weakness is “Barriers.” These Barriers cannot be punctured by his needles, rendering his attacks useless. If he collides with the barrier, his needles will be pushed back into his body, causing him severe damage. He protects the Weapons Storage and has stationed a large defense within the area.

Needle Man is one of the classic bosses of Mega Man 3. His theme is also one of the most underrated in the series, if you ask me. I personally think it's great. The reploid choice for this guy was a synch. Porcupine! The personality was kind of granted considering that he shoots bullets almost as often as Metal Man throws buzz saw blades.

I think he turned out great. The individual needles are so shiny… but they were a pain to do. Each one required the same exact shading over, and over, and over again. The nose was an unusual add-on. The jewel on Needle Man’s chest was placed directly below the eyes, making it look much like his nose. As such, I gave Porcupine both.
