A guy talking about classic robot master character design? Sign me up!! I'm an artist, so I love analyzing character design, and it was fun to hear your takes. My personal favorite Elec Man design is the Megamix version...I love Ariga's tall proportions and attention to detail; he really has inspired me as an artist a lot. That said, classic game Elec is a close second for me. Though honestly, I'm with you on loving the Fully Charged design. I'm not the biggest fan of the show or its animation style, but they really nailed this alternative take on Elec Man. It's clear who he is thanks to the colors and shape language, but he's very much a unique interpretation of Elec. I actually didn't like the design too much at first because he was so radically different. But once I accepted him as his own thing, I realized what a cool design he has. Love how angular and psychotic he looks...he actually reminds me of Ariga's Flash Man, who is similarly unhinged. I also agree his poses are great. It's also interesting you tend to prefer a more robotic looking Elec. I've always loved how human he looks, but it's neat to hear a different perspective. Love the video!
Elec Man.EXE doesn’t look like a Mega Man character… I know it’s Battle Network, but even then he doesn’t look like a battle network character, he looks like a character you’d see on Cartoon Network adventure shows like that with serious main characters

And you forgot to say that It looks like a woman in Network, like seriously, Network looks better in miniature
