* How is Hard Man old enough to be "an old fighter" and have been accused of having "gotten soft"? Did it take years to defeat that round of robot masters?

** Given the nature of Hardman's song, with all his speaking of a crowd and "His Town", as well as others like Quickman's [In this "town",I am the law] It's not impossible that the various robot uprisings managed to take control of population centers, which might very well allow for the various conflicts to be drawn out for quite some time. Which admittedly raises the possible question of what happened to any inhabitants after Megaman finished dismantling the robot Master protecting those locations.

* Wily's JustThinkOfThePotential line, about replacing humanity with robots, and Gamma's line (''"How can there be peace, while two sides stand?"'') are not just throwaway lines: In VideoGame/MegaManZX, the humans and reploids are all cyborgs and the two categories are barely distinguishable; they made peace by making humans so mechanical they may as well be robots.

** The mood whiplash of placing his song right next to "Beneath the Steel", about Bomb Man collapsing society with his bombs, is also brilliant: The two songs are about ballots and bullets.

* Compared to the rest of Shadow Man's song, the chorus sounds confident and badass, especially the line "I am the knife in a gunfight". But wait -- a knife is what you ''don't'' bring to a gunfight, isn't it? Shadow Man's putting on a brave face, but his fear and uncertainty from the rest of the song is slipping through.

** And it gets worse if you think half a dozen games ahead. How will they cover Mega Man 9 without implying that some of the "good" robot makers are just as bad ''or worse'' ([[EvenEvilHasStandards at least Dr Wily is unwilling to scrap someone just for being obsolete]]).



** The electronic feedback and generic fading-out music at the end imply some sort of hijacked broadcast. Chances are he was just trying to spread the message to robots throughout the world (or country, town, or whatever).

* Light's portrayal in ''I Want to be The One (To Watch You Die)'' seems like a far cry from his personality in the games, but ''The Power Fighters'' gives us this quote:
-->Sometimes, peace cannot be achieved unless those who spread war are destroyed.
** This sounds exactly like what a WellIntentionedExtremist BigBad would say in another work. Maybe even in canon, Dr. Light has a darker side?

* Heat Man's stage in the MM2 is what looks like an underground smelting plant. It's doubtful that Dr. Wily would waste anything in his war on Light, so he probably smelts any robots Mega Man destroys for their base components. This basically means Heat Man has had to personally cremate hundreds of robots (including his own brothers!) and knows for a fact that Mega Man killed them. No wonder he's so unhinged and itching for revenge in ''Man on Fire''.

* Magnet Man's song, though a little sad on the surface, is one of the more upbeat songs on the album, with the titular character talking affably about how just because his love's brother wishes to kill him and his father wants to rule the world, that shouldn't drive the two apart. The music is upbeat and cheery to match his personality; all the robot wants is to be reunited with his love. And then the realization that he too was killed by Mega Man despite his attitude and love sets in...
* In general, the fact that all of Robot Masters, even the ones wrought with emotional distress or the ones doing things they think are right, are killed by Mega Man without so much as a question. Mega Man does feel tremendous guilt at killing all of them, but he know it's what he's got to do.

* Listen to ''Evolution of Circuitry'', Elec Man's incredibly upbeat, empowering song about having the power to liberate his people and bring about a new era, one of the most upbeat songs they've written. Realize that he gets brutally executed by Megaman immediately after the song ends. (This also adds extra pathos to Dr. Wiley's ''Look What You've'' later on the same album, and to Spark Man's much more militant and aggressive ''You've Sparked a War'' on the next.)

* In ''Look What You've Done'', Dr. Wily talks about how easy it was to convince the Robot Masters to rebel, saying "it was like flipping a switch." Considering that in the original game, he stole and reprogrammed them, did he really persuade them to join him, or did he just MindRape them all into complying? Was everything they did and died for simply because they had been BrainwashedAndCrazy?

* Wily himself isn't unaware of Protoman's feelings on the matter. The second verse of ''Gamma Unchained'' mentions Wily having given Protoman a new reactor, and that Protoman was ''not'' happy about it. The verse itself ends with "I think that I heard the red song again/he wants revenge..." (In the game, Protoman does show up after the fight with Gamma.)
