Did you by chance draw any inspiration from Heat Man's Battle Network design?

partially! That old set was an interpretation of how the bosses are portrayed in The Megas vocal remixes of 2's ost. Airman was described as being built of SR 71s and WW2 era planes, Woodman being described as a mixture of nature itself and old war machines, and Heatman as a sort of demon(or he  believes himself to be) that resides in a robot hell, where he constantly hears the cries of everything he's burned and heatman exe's goofy jack o lantern like face was perfect to give him a fiery monster like look. And bubbleman was described as being the weakest and most ridiculous of the 8 so i made him small and shrimpy in stature.
