"Heavy-duty robot proficient in military engineering. Utilizes sturdy excavation arms to break through natural terrain and demolish man-made structures."
- Stage Select Description

Mighty No. 4, Seismic: is a construction robot, and is the fourth member of the Mighty Numbers created by Dr. White.

Appearance[]

Seismic resembles a dump truck. He has three wheels, two on his shoulders and a third one on his mid-section. He also has two large shovel hands which are similar to an excavator's, and his feet are made of titanium. He is 280cm/9ft 2 inches tall, and weighs 690kg/1521lbs. He has the number "04" written on his torso in white.

Story[]

Seismic was the fourth 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, Seismic was among the many robots who were affected. From there, he headed into a Mine, and SANDA Technologies lost communication with him. Beck was eventually sent to find him, traversing deep underground to get to his location. When he finally found him, Beck was initially glad to see Seismic was still functional, but upon seeing he too was affected by the virus, they battled. Eventually, Seismic was defeated and brought back to his senses.

If Seismic was defeated, he will appear in the Highway stage to aid Beck by removing a runaway truck and offering advice about how to deal with Brandish.

After all of the infected Mighty Numbers had been cured of the virus, Seismic joined them, Beck, and Dr. White in an attack on the Cherry Dynamics Robot Factory to shut down the production of various malfunctioning robots.

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

Personality[]

Seismic is not a deep thinker, but his strength and work ethic are second to none. Although he can be blunt and gruff at times, he cares deeply for his fellow siblings, immediately asking Beck why he was deep underground and stating how dangerous it was down there after being cured.

While under the virus's influence, Mic spoke in short, simple sentences, omitting helping verbs and addressing listeners in the third person. He also makes frequent use of construction lingo, including phrases such as "Hard hat area" and "Under construction." This effect seems to linger after he is freed from the virus's control, though only for a short time - in the Highway and Robot Factory stages, Mic uses first- and second-person pronouns and speaks in grammatically correct sentences.

Abilities[]

Seismic is extremely strong, capable of holding and throwing stone cubes as large as he is with one arm. Seismic can transform his lower body into caterpillar treads and charge at his opponent, or transform his arms into extendable drills with far reach. He is also able to summon pillars with giant drills but this ability is only shown in his level. His main weapon is the Strong Charge.

Development[]

In the January 2014 update, the team states that the theme for Seismic from the beginning was "Earth," but not in terms of controlling the element, but having the power to flatten and destroy it. Artist KIMO KIMO designed Mighty No. 4 and gave him a construction machinery theme, with a dump truck head, body of a crane, and excavator-like hands.

When presented to Inafune, he stated that design made Mighty No. 4 look unintelligent, and commented on how No. 4's chest resembled a car, which might give the impression he could transform. Inafune suggestions included adding tires around No. 4's waist and elbows, and making him look "harder and tougher".

Trivia[]

It is possible that Seismic is based on the bosses who have more massive bodies from the Mega Man series, such as Guts Man and Concrete Man. He is also similar to Turbo Man and Galaxy Man, robots who can transform.
Seismic's design is the favorite of KIMO KIMO, the Lead Character Developer of Mighty No. 9.
On extremely rare circumstances, if the player manages to position Mic on the top sides of the room while he performs his desperation attack, the pillar will fall under him and will instantly leave Seismic at 0 HP, with no chances of recovery.
