DLN-000, '''Protoman''' (or DRN.000, Blues, depending on localization) is the older brother of [[Mega Man]] and [[Roll]], created by [[Dr. Light]] as a prototype humanoid robot. Originally fought in ''[[Mega Man 3]]'' as a mid-boss, and later in the same game fought as a boss under the alias of '''"Break Man"''', his first playable role in numerical games was in ''[[Mega Man 9]]'' in a DLC. Proto Man is one of the additional player characters available as of version [[1.3.0]] alongside [[Bass]]. He is typically used defensively due to his limited shot count and a shield that can reflect projectiles.
Concrete Shot is [[Concrete Man]]'s signature weapon, originating from ''[[Mega Man 9]]''. It is featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' as of version [[1.5.0]].


==In Mega Man Maker==
A blob of cement is hurled in a downward arc that can reach two tiles forward if fired while on the ground. Upon touching solid terrain, it will harden into a block that can be stood on by the user, and will crumble away after half a second of doing so. If the block is left alone, it will break down after three seconds instead. This block is fully solid unless spawned at the user's current location, and can obstruct certain hazards such as [[Force Beam]]s and [[Fan]]s. When enemies are defeated by Concrete Shot, they will turn into blocks, but cannot drop items as a result. If an airborne enemy is turned into a block, it will fall straight down, being able to crush other enemies and even [[bosses]] should they be below. [[Carricarry]], [[Petit Devil]], and [[Fire Totem]] can be defeated in one shot by this weapon.
As a playable character, Proto Man automatically has the ability to slide and charge his [[Proto Buster]] in the ''[[Mega Man 4]]'' Charge Shot style. His [[Charge Shot]] process of his buster sounds different from the most known charge sound from the NES era games. If Proto Man is doing an uncharged Proto Buster shot, he can only have up to two bullets appearing simultaneously. This also extends to the Proto Strike projectiles. Unlike his appearance in ''Mega Man 9'' and ''Mega Man 10'', Proto Man does not lose the charging process if he receives damage. Proto Man shoots slightly lower than Mega Man or Bass due to his sprite difference, and therefore weapons such as the Proto Buster or [[Needle Cannon]] are fired a few pixels lower than when Mega Man or Bass fire.


He comes equipped with the [[Proto Shield]], which will reflect or block most projectile attacks in front of him while jumping; however, shooting while jumping will deactivate this shield until Proto Man lands. The attack reflection of the Proto Shiel makes him able to defend and counter-attack even if he has no ammo for his current weapon or is equipped with only [[Nothing]]. If a projectile is reflected, the projectile will take the properties of whatever weapon Proto Man is currently equipped with, allowing Proto Man the potential to break [[Weapon Blocks]] without even firing his weapon. The Proto Shield can also protect Proto Man from [[Elec Beams]] and [[Fire Beams]] to some extent, by getting the current beam deactivated if Proto Man uses his shield in the most distant half of it. The Proto Shield is the closest in functionality to its appearance from Mega Man 10.
Another main feature of Concrete Shot is the ability to freeze the magma spewed from [[Magma Beam Generator]]s, making them safe to touch for four seconds. While the beam is still frozen, hitting it with [[Laser Trident]] will break it. While armored enemies will deflect shots as expected, blocks can still be formed on most reflective objects. Finally, blocks cannot be stacked on top of each other.


In the level setting menu, Proto Man has two settings specific to him - Proto Strike and Double Damage. Enabling Proto Strike will turn any shots made with the Proto Buster into the Proto Strike, which does equal damage to charged shots. Proto Strike made its only appearance in [[Mega Man Powered Up]] as the main weapon for Proto Man to use. Enabling Double Damage will cause him to take double the damage from all sources.
With the addition of [[Lava]] to Mega Man Maker in version [[1.8.4]], Concrete Shot is given a new interaction via creating solid blocks on Lava's surface.  The blocks behave just as they do in any other instance, allowing the player to platform up on vertical Lava or horizontally across Lava segments.


In the weapons menu, [[Rush Coil]] and [[Rush Jet]] are replaced by the [[Proto Coil]] and [[Proto Jet]] respectively. They are just reskins of the mentioned weapons and they function identically to the original utilities, however, Proto Jet will temporarily remove the Proto Shield. Proto Coil replaces the [[Power Adaptor]], [[Jet Adaptor]] and [[Super Adaptor]], although Weapon Blocks changed to these Proto Coil options will only be destroyed with the specific Proto Coil it was set to.

Similar to his original playable appearances in the games, Proto Man's whistle from Mega Man 3 plays whenever he enters a level or respawns upon death. Proto Man's victory pose is taken from ''[[Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters]]''.
==Trivia==
*Due to how the weapon functions, [[Pump Man]] can be easily defeated by turning one of the bubbles that make up his Water Shield into a block. If the block is above him when created it will instantly crush him.
*[[Spring Man]] can also be killed in one shot with it by turning his Wild Coils into blocks, but this requires more precision.  


==Trivia==
 
* Proto Man is currently the only character to have an option that makes gameplay harder.

Concrete Shot is Concrete Man's signature weapon, originating from Mega Man 9. It is featured in Mega Man Maker as of version 1.5.0.

A blob of cement is hurled in a downward arc that can reach two tiles forward if fired while on the ground. Upon touching solid terrain, it will harden into a block that can be stood on by the user, and will crumble away after half a second of doing so. If the block is left alone, it will break down after three seconds instead. This block is fully solid unless spawned at the user's current location, and can obstruct certain hazards such as Force Beams and Fans. When enemies are defeated by Concrete Shot, they will turn into blocks, but cannot drop items as a result. If an airborne enemy is turned into a block, it will fall straight down, being able to crush other enemies and even bosses should they be below. Carricarry, Petit Devil, and Fire Totem can be defeated in one shot by this weapon.

Another main feature of Concrete Shot is the ability to freeze the magma spewed from Magma Beam Generators, making them safe to touch for four seconds. While the beam is still frozen, hitting it with Laser Trident will break it. While armored enemies will deflect shots as expected, blocks can still be formed on most reflective objects. Finally, blocks cannot be stacked on top of each other.

With the addition of Lava to Mega Man Maker in version 1.8.4, Concrete Shot is given a new interaction via creating solid blocks on Lava's surface. The blocks behave just as they do in any other instance, allowing the player to platform up on vertical Lava or horizontally across Lava segments.
