The Mr. Masters

The Mr. Masters

Posted on February 8, 2010 to Comics

So I got the idea of mixing the robot masters from the original Mega Man series with The Mr. Men children’s book/cartoon series. Instead of Cut Man you get Mr. Cut, instead of Guts Man you get Mr. Guts and so forth… I decided to do the “first” eight (8) robot masters in this amalgam format. It was fun to do and was fun to take the names of some of the characters in different direction from their original intent.

Personally, I’d love to do a poster with all eighty (80) robot masters done in the Mr. Men format. But that’s up to you guys whether there would be a demand for something like that. If a poster containing all eighty (80) Mr. Masters would be something you guys would be interested in leave a comment below or drop me a line.

Otherwise, I will see you on Thursday.

    Oh man, I haven’t thought of Mr Men is almost a decade. I loved those books as a little kid.

    Nice work Steve.

    I think the poster idea is cool.

    Ehh… 80 Mr. Masters would take you a long time… valuable time that could be spent coming up with more game-a-licious jokes… so I’m gonna have to put my two cents in as ‘nah, pass on the poster.’

    I’d like a 40″ tapestry of the Konami Code first! :P

    Excellent job. This is one of the kinds of things I like to see from you. I’d love to see more of the original Megaman Robots to be rendered in this style. Keep it up.

    And yeah, a poster sounds inviting as well.

    While I’d love to see you do the entire collection of Mr Masters I don’t think I’d pick up a poster. :(

    Yeah, I’d buy that poster. I’ve already bought your other ones. ^_^

    86 Robot Masters. 8 from Mega Man 1-10 (80) plus six originals from Mega Man and Bass.

    @mikeszekely You’re right. If I’m going to include Oil Man and Time Man from Mega Man Powered Up then I need to include all the robot masters from Rockman and Forte as well.

    OH NOES! I had a T-Shirt idea based off on the old Mr and Mrs series!

    NOW I’LL HAVE TO WORK EVEN FASTER! ARGH!

    For a second there only from the title, I thought that was going to be something about Ken Masters lol. Well this is still awesome~

    I’d prefer the companion poster to the one I already own: rejected Mr. Men villains. That’d be absolutely hilarious!

    Well this is interesting I’d still rather The Outer Circle be finished….

    I second what Herbert said.

    I was not impressed by this sampling at all. I doubt another 70 of them would be any better.

    I’d love to see all of the robot masters as Mr. Men. I was hooked on the books when I was young, and I even watch the show that’s on now, even though I’m well outside the target age for it XD

    Love the creative idea here. A poster of all of them would be win.

    Technically, it’d be 79 Mr. Master and one Little Miss Splash.

    Anyway, I’d like to see more.
