Oh hey! I found this old doodle where I turned Cinnamon from Mega Man X Command Mission into a NetNavi.

NAVI, the AI machine from Beast Wars Neo.
I don’t have much to say about her.

Another doodle from the archives, while keeping with today’s construction theme apparently… making a NetNavi based on Build Man, a minor character created for Hitoshi Ariga’s comics.

And now, the Robot Master version of the NetNavi DesertMan.EXE, from Mega Man Battle Network 3. Since the NetNavi is litlte more than a moving pile of sand, obviously I needed to do some real reinterpretation.
Flame Man’s Arabian motif took one of my big options for “desert”, but I felt I could give him a more Southewestern feel, without stepping into Tomahawk Man’s Native American feel. I think I got something nice.

Here’s another of the Mega Man Battle Network Navis reworked into a classic-series Robot Master. This time, it’s Circus Man.
See, CircusMan.EXE from Mega Man Battle Network 6 was a horrifying clown-bot. And the classic series already has a clown-based Robot Master… Clown Man. See how that works? So… I felt the best route to go was with the circus ringleader design.
I was worried about the whole top hat thing, since we already have Magic Man. But the right decor can change things up.
