- Stage Select Description

Mighty No. 6: Aviator, is a flying news reporter robot, and the sixth member of the Mighty Numbers created by Dr. White.

Appearance[]

Aviator takes his design basis from a helicopter, and has a blue jet torso with yellow markings, a gray propeller on his head (which can move to his back) and the number "06" written behind his nose in white and in the same font as Cryosphere, Battalion and Brandish. His legs and arms are also blue with yellow, connected by gray parts. Aviator's pointer fingers can shoot bullets from their tips in their straightened state, though they can also operate like standard pointers. His shins also carry orange rockets to fire. Aviator is 220cm/7ft 3 inches tall, and weighs 150kg/331lb.

Story[]

Aviator was the sixth member of the Mighty Numbers to be created by Dr. White, and, amongst his siblings, participated in many battles which occured in the Battle Colosseum.

When a mysterious virus suddenly caused almost every robot to go berserk, Aviator was among the many robots who were affected. From there, Avi briefly interrupted an emergency news broadcast to declare that accidents were occuring everywhere.

Avi then took over a Radio Tower, co-opting the tower's signal capabilities, and broadcasting messages from above. When Beck reached the top of the tower, the two robots fought, and Aviator was soon defeated and brought back to his senses.

If Avi is defeated, he will appear in the Oil Platform stage to guide Beck to Pyrogen and knock down pillars that would otherwise impede him.

After all of the infected Mighty Numbers had been cured of the virus, Aviator joined them, Beck, and Dr. White in an attack on the Cherry Dynamics Robot Factory to shut down the production of various malfunctioning robots. He left early however to help out Dr. Sanda and Call by informing them about the guard robot K9. He later helped drop Beck off to the Battle Colloseum in order for him to confront Trinity.

After the final battle between Beck and Trinity at the Battle Colosseum, Aviator and the other Mighty Numbers were sent by Dr. White to rescue Beck and Trinity from the collapsing area.

Personality[]

Aviator is a fast-talking robot who becomes a showboater when in front of the camera. He adopts the persona of a news anchor as Beck climbs the Radio Tower, reporting on his progress and giving him advance notice of weather hazards, enemies, and his attacks during their battle. He also references the "republic" he wants to create, suggesting that he values equality (or at least fair representation) of all kinds of robots.

He has an informal way of speaking and often calls Beck nicknames such as "Beckels," "Tyrannosaurus Becks," "Rud-Beck-a," and "Beckropolis" after being restored to his senses and he is also quite boisterous shown when he enters the room to speak to his fellow Mighty No.'s or just Beck.

Abilities[]

Aviator can fly around using his propeller and can drop the bombs on his legs. He can also use the Vulcans under his arms to fire many bullets at his targets and he can use a flying camera to damage Beck.

Other Appearances[]

In Mighty Gunvolt Burst, Aviator reappears as a boss, he will shoot small projectiles at low and medium height, he will rise up to the sky at very high speed and descend and quickly going up again in a "V" formation. Eventually he will make appear his flying camera and use it as a shield. When his health is low, he will use the camera to record his and the player's movements, then he will replay the recording creating both a fake Aviator and a fake player to create confusion. If Beck attacks his fake copy, Beck will take damage.

Trivia[]

Avi might be based on Gyro Man from the Mega Man series due to his helicopter design, though he bears a greater resemblance to his NetNavi counterpart, GyroMan.EXE, as both can transform into an actual unmanned helicopter.
Avi is the most reoccurring Mighty No. to appear in the game, as he shows up in the City stage, Oil Platform (if defeated in his own stage and liberated of the virus that drove him mad), the Prison, the Robot Factory, and the Battle Colosseum (Stage) outside of his own.
Avi's Japanese VA, Shōtaro Morikubo, is also known as the vocalist of "Monkey" and "The Answer" (the theme songs of Mega Man X5 and Mega Man X6, respectively). He's also the VA of Mega Man X and Dynamo in Mega Man X5 and Mega Man X6.
His weakness may play on the fact that snipers can get a bead on mid-air targets.
On the Prison level, the advice he gives to Call to defeat the boss is a reference to a "Genji: Days of the Blade" quote on the Sony E3 2006 conference. ^[1]
