Uranus (ウラノス, Uranosu) is one of the second four Stardroids that Mega Man must fight in Mega Man V. He has a bull-like appearance and is the Stardroid with the greatest physical strength. Despite his bulky physique, he is very athletic. Uranus uses his brute physical strength to attack with Deep Digger, which involves lifting boulders up from the ground to throw them at enemies. His bull-like appearance, which causes him to be mocked and ridiculed by others, also translates very well to his short-tempered personality, since he likes to run fast and to overturn tables whenever he's mad, and he dislikes both bullfighters and red flags. His weakness is the Break Dash. Uranus is part of the second wave of four Stardroids, and defeating him rewards Mega Man with his Deep Digger weapon. Attack pattern The arena takes place in-between two rows of Deep Digger blocks. Uranus has a specific pattern of attacks and movements he goes through. He first starts off by using Deep Digger to pick up a block from the floor and throw it forward. This block splits into 4 pieces of debris that fly away diagonally from the point of impact, but as long as Mega Man jumps or slide forward to dodge the main block, he will easily avoid the spread. Uranus then jumps in place to shake the ground. During a ground shake, Mega Man cannot slide or jump as easily due to him getting bumped up constantly. It also be noted that with each earthquake caused, the floor immediately patches itself up. Uranus then does a long jump forward to the other side, which can be dodged by sliding under him. Uranus then jumps in place twice, which causes four blocks on the other side to collapse and close off half of the screen for a few seconds. This will instantly kill Mega Man if he gets caught underneath them, but it can easily be avoided by staying close to Uranus. Uranus does one more jump to remove the collapsed ceiling, and then repeats his actions from there. Weaknesses Uranus is weak to Break Dash, which can defeat him in 4 hits. The dash is best used when Uranus jumps to the other side, and each dash gives Mega Man invincibility frames to get to a safe area. He can also use uncharged buster shots if he does not wish to dash. Unlike other bosses, Uranus has tough armor that reduces the damage of a charged Mega Arm to the same damage as an uncharged buster shot (1 damage) and makes him immune to every Special Weapon except the Spark Chaser, which cannot be used against him until the rematch, and the one he's weak to. While Uranus takes no damage from his own weapon, Deep Digger, it can actually be used to defeat him instantly, but because every jump of his restores the floor, it is very risky and tricky to use. To pull it off, Mega Man should start lifting up blocks when Uranus does his Deep Digger attack (because that's the longest he goes without restoring the floor). Every time Mega Man lifts up a block, he should pause and unpause, which will get rid of the block much quicker than if he had to throw it. 5 blocks will have to be get rid of, 4 for the blocks underneath Uranus, and 1 for Mega Man to have safe ground. As Mega Man will be inside Uranus with this strategy, he should be using E-Tanks to keep his health up (do not worry about wasting them, there will be 2 free E-Tanks after all the rematches). If the whole strategy is done correctly, Uranus will fall into the pit as he jumps straight up, resulting in an instant KO. The Uranus of the Archie Comics Mega Man series was created by Ra Moon, and along with the other Stardroids was supposed to receive Earth after it had been "cultivated" by the evil computer. However, Ra Moon's demise meant that the Stardroids and Sunstar were left to take the planet themselves. His appearance is more consistent with the minotaur from Greek mythology, he has an orange waistband that goes from his hips all the way up to under his red chest plate. He has a hunched back, or what seems like it. He has feet similar to that of a bovine, and his face has a grilled forehead guard. Headcanons: He calms down when he sees someone familiar or in a familiar place that he knows is safe, Mercury however, despite being his elder brother, isn't one of them due to the sleezy behavior on display and forces him to share his personal goods, like his rock collection. Often pals around with Mars, who is basically a tank with a heart of gold. There was an incident one time where he and Mars wrestled over a single cheese stick and it resulted in four destroyed walls of the ship and a very scalding scolding from Terra, who was struck by the head with the debris during the duration of the wrestling match. Has a rock collection. Loved the idea of joining the running of the bulls as one of the bulls.
