Forte

Personality: The most notable change from his game version is the fact he appears borderline psychopathic, prone to fits of insanity and extreme violence which often prove to be an enormous threat not only to Megaman, but even to Wily's own robots. Instead of being fixated on defeating Megaman like his game counterpart, Forte is highly focused on taking down anybody supposedly more powerful than he is, obsessed with proving he is the absolute strongest with the complete disregard for his own safety. Forte is presented as an extremely smug, bad-tempered, egotistical, rebellious, fiercely independent and arrogant individual who believes that he's the strongest above all else. Forte is very prideful and thinks quite highly of himself, labeling everyone else around him as inferior "junk robots". He has always been shown to hold a rivalry with Megaman, but aside from him, Forte happens to have hatred for every robot that was created by Dr. Wily (with the possible exception of Treble, Reggae, and, needless to say, himself), since he feels that they're standing in the way of his goal to destroy Megaman and become the strongest. Forte looks down on them, believing himself to be superior to them in every way, shape, and form. He seems to have some degree of respect for humans, since they created robots. Duo says that there is goodness in Forte (even going so far as to say that he has "justice energy"), which the latter ignored, saying that he only wants to fight, claiming that his only concern is who the strongest happens to be. His sole purpose is to prove himself as the strongest robot, so naturally he can't turn down a fight against an allegedly-stronger opponent. Is jealous of Megaman's status as a world champion, and wants to eliminate him for that. For all his arrogance, he does have some respect for humans since robots owe their existence to them. This is part of his motivation for opposing King's war against humanity. He also is concerned about his creator's sanity. When he's not hunting down Wily himself, he's being an egotistical brute who badmouths anyone that he sees as weak.

Despite his rivalry with Megaman, he is willing to work alongside him if it is to his benefits. The latter instance also implied that the aftermath of the battle left Forte with some respect for Megaman. There's a possibility that Duo's claim of there being goodness in Forte is true, since he was able to use the Evil Energy Capsules in Megaman 8 without dying. During the events of Mega Man & Forte, he even began to show some form of concern for King. Forte appears to care for Treble and vice versa, Forte always welcomes the fierce Treble despite the confidence in his own abilities, his robotic wolf-like companion seems to understand all his commands and is very loyal to him, even bringing Forte a cure for Roboenza when he was infected. Despite being extremely powerful, Forte's faults that usually lead to his downfall are his arrogance and overconfidence. According to Protoman, it's because he has "nothing to fight for". The reason that he's continuously defeated by Megaman is because of his selfish motive, which is simply to prove himself as the strongest, as opposed to Megaman's desire to "fight for everyone's future" and bring peace to the world.

Appearance: His design is similar to his game counterpart, but with small modifications, featuring rivets along his gold trim, an enlarged white collar piece, Wily's W insignia etched into his chest gem (as opposed to a belt buckle like Wily's Robot Masters), and his helmet lacks a chin guard. Forte's design was made in mind to be a polar opposite of Megaman's. Forte is adorned in black armor with gold lining. On his chest, there is a triangular blue-ish purple crystal. He has purple stripes running down from his eyes and extending down his cheeks. He has distinct red eyes (usually with pink retinas). His helmet features large yellow fins that resemble that of a cobra, giving him a slightly taller appearance than that of his rivals and a cross-shaped blue jewel on the forehead. Without his helmet, dark, wild hair featuring a widow's peak. He is around 5'11, and looks like he is in his late teens, around 18 or 19. His helmet is shaped like a cobra.

He is a Robot Master created by Dr. Wily to imitate Megaman's design, along with Treble, an imitation of Rush's design. He was created based on a research conducted on Megaman with the intention of surpassing his power sometime during or before the events of Mega Man 6, and made his debut in Mega Man 7. Forte is the prominent anti-hero of the original Mega Man series, and his goal is to become the most powerful robot in existence. Although Forte and Megaman are rivals, at times they team up to take down mutual enemies of the two. Despite being created by Dr. Wily, Forte frequently rebels against his creator, usually for his own purposes. Forte was later succeeded by Zero, an advanced creation from Dr. Wily. When designing Forte, Dr. Wily carefully filtered through all the data he had ever collected on Megaman. Based on the information he had gathered through his many battles against Megaman, Dr. Wily created Forte with abilities and a Weapon Copy System that surpassed those of Megaman's. Dr. Wily designed Forte to be a similar model to Megaman to show off the idea that he could make a robot like Dr. Light's, only better. At the same time, Dr. Wily hoped that with such a similar build, Forte would gather the same combat data as Megaman from each battle, which would allow Dr. Wily to ascertain what kind of data Megaman had taken back to Dr. Light. Unfortunately for Dr. Wily, despite turning out to be everything he had wished for as far as abilities were concerned, Forte also developed a strong sense of pride and is rarely willing to obey Dr. Wily's commands.
