    "Wide-area tactical robot proficient in electronic warfare. Can short-circuit or take over enemy robots through electrical discharge or lightning strikes through remote-control lightning rods."
    - Stage Select Description

    Mighty No. 3, Dynatron, is the third robot in Dr. White's mighty robot line.

    She is one of the two female Mighty Numbers, along with Cryosphere, and she is the boss of the Power Plant stage.

    Appearance

    Dynatron's torso is based off of a purple light bulb. She wears a yellow/black, zigzag, lampshade-like cape that can sometimes be seen through. She has dark skin, red eyes, purple hair, and pointed teeth. Her legs are yellow points that typically are paired together. She has two antennae that resemble white coil wire with yellow interiors. Though her official art shows her hands behind her back, concept art shows that she has clawed hands. She is 191cm/6ft 3 inches tall, and weighs 91kg/201lbs.

    Story

    Dynatron goes berserk along with the other first eight Mighty Numbers. She invades the Power Plant for electrical energy.

    If she is defeated before Beck heads to the Capitol Building, she will appear in the stage to disable some electrical wires.

    She appears in the Robot Factory stage along with all of the other Mighty Numbers to assist Beck.

    Personality

    Dynatron is a hot-tempered, impatient robot who becomes particularly irate if she is stopped from feeding on the electricity she craves. However, she doesn't seem to relish combat, as indicated by her troubled remarks when she sees Battalion's enthusiasm during the attack on the Robot Factory. She voices all of her sibilants (pronouncing s sounds like z sounds) and draws them out to make them sound like crackling electricity.

    Abilities

    Dynatron has control over electricity. She can send out little purple circles with yellow spikes to redirect her electrical sparks and lighting.

    Boss fight

    In Mighty Gunvolt Burst, she has a new attack where she creates spinning electrified sticks to the player. And she can create shields that slide around the floor. When her health is low, she performs an attack similar to Gibril from Azure Striker Gunvolt 2.

    Development

    Both Dynatron and Mighty No. 8 were meant to be female. While No. 8 changed, Dynatron's gender was kept. The development team started by mixing up possible attacks, placing lighting rods around the arena and on the character. They decided to take an easy to understand motif (electricity) and add new ideas to it. She was then given her purple design and personality. The Development team combined the Japanese god of thunder, Raijin, with everyday appliances, like power cables, outlets and lamps. Inafune asked the team to make her scarier, hide her hands more and to slim her legs down, so she looks like she's floating. Kimo Kimo reworked the design and gave her the yellow/black cloak. At first she made her hands little drums and electrodes, before Inafune choose to give her actual hands. The hands where made into claws attached to coils. The cloak was reworked to let her open it, creating the final design.

    Trivia

    • While Dynatron is a female, she also has the properties of electricity. This could be used to determine if she is a tribute to Elec Man from Mega Man. She is based off a purple light bulb, which proves she is also based off of Bright Man from Mega Man 4.
      • She might also possibly be based off of Plasma Man, an early concept design for a Robot Master in Mega Man 9 that eventually became Plug Man.
      • Her name might have been derived from the name of Dynamo Man, another electrokinetic robot from Mega Man and Bass.
    • The antennae on her head and disks around her are possibly a callback to ThunderMan.EXE. The disks could also be based on the orbs of Cloud Man.
    • Her working design has a slight similarity to Layer from Mega Man X8.
    • In Mighty Gunvolt Burst, in an attemp of trying emulate the NES palette limitations, her eyes displayed as purple instead of red. However, this is also present in her official artwork.
    • Not sure why no one else notices that she has a Raijin, Japanese thunder god, inspiration.
