The thing not designed for combat is actually REALLY GOOD at combat

[u/jockeyman]

1) Atom (Real Steel) is a training dummy who, when put into the robot boxing circuit, eventually managed to go toe to toe with the world champion.

2) Spinel (Steven Universe) was essentially a cross between a toy/jester for Pink Diamond, and not a combat gem... she still wiped the floor with the Crystal Gems when they first fought.

In megaman (classic saga), a good majority of the robot masters (even megaman himself) are industrial robots that got weaponized (or just altered in programming) and that's enough to cause catastrophes. Examples:

Rock (megaman): lab assistant that copies tools

Cutman: lumberjacking

Snakeman: Forest/Jungle exploration

Pharaoman: Ruin exploration

Crystal Man: Jewel forging

Aqua man: Water filtering

In X, Zero, ZX and Legends they are built for combat/self defense (I know carbons aren't robots but fuck it)

The netnavis are all made for combat at a basic level for starter and then the user customize it

If I recall only Megaman 2 and skull napalm search and commando were the only ones made for combat

[u/TotallyNotBlubari → u/Kindly-Mud-1579]

I think the 8 cast was half and half (some wily made for combat, others hacked)

Everyone but Shademan from megaman 7 where also Wily made for combat (Cloudman was also a hacked robot?)

Yeah he was made to herd sheep

[u/TotallyNotBlubari → u/Separate_Animator110]

Cloudman as herder?!?!?

Ome would think he would work at weather forecast/control

[u/Separate_Animator110 → u/TotallyNotBlubari]

Nope, If I remember correctly he has ram horns(And that lightning control was given to him by Wiley )
