History Music / ThemeGas

* BossBanter: Every Robot Master and [[BigBad Wily]] song counts as this.

* ContinuityNod: Spark Man's song, ''You've Sparked a War'', presents him as a revolutionary against human tyranny, just like his counterpart Electric Man's earlier song.

* DespairEventHorizon: Dr. Light is singing it''I Want To Be The One To Watch You Die'' after seeing Proto Man fighting for Dr. Wily, which indicates he crossed this in a rather dark way.

* FridgeBrilliance: In ''I'm Not The Breakman'' the line "What am I supposed to be?/What am I?" is immediately followed by the main flourish of the Weapon Get theme.

* BossBanter
->''"I hope, history is kind to us all / I know they'll blame me for the fall / I wish there was a better way out, / But there's no better way out."''

** What's the name of the MM 3 Wily song? ''I Want To Be The One... '''To Watch You Die'''''.

And on June 18th, 2012, the Megas released the "History Repeating: Blue" album, which covers several songs from Megaman 3, and is the first of two albums. Noticeably, it lacks several songs they have played live, such as "The Breakman", and "Fly on A Dog", meaning that those have been saved for "History Repeating: Red".

* DespairEventHorizon: If Dr. Light is singing it, then he seems to have crossed this by ''I Want To Be The One To Watch You Die'' after seeing Proto Man fighting for Dr. Wily.

*** "She tells me 'I've gotta roll'" [[hottip:*:The woman Magnet man is serenading is all but said to be Roll, Megaman's sister.]]

* FridgeBrilliance: In ''The Quick and The Blue'', Quickman asks "Does Death wear blue?" throughout the song. This gets an added meaning when you remember that Quickman is weak to Flashman's weapon, whose song is ''Blue Like You''.
** In ''I'm Not The Breakman'' the line "What am I supposed to be?" is immediately followed by the Weapon Get theme.
** Also in the same song, Protoman/Breakman mentions that the creator "is a liar." Recall the plot of the third game...

** "My heart is gone, there's only fire." [[hottip:*:In canon, Protoman went to Wily to have his imperfect solar energy core repaired after running away from Light Labs. Wily opted to replace it with an unstable but more reliable [[ILoveNuclearPower nuclear core]] instead.]]

* FoeYay: ''Blue Like You''. Oh dear God where do we begin...
** How about the chorus?
--> ''Hey Mega Man, join my side/And let me stop this moment in time/You'll be mine, forever.''
** However, it doesn't appear to be a random choice to give him the FoeYay. He does seem to have a FreudianExcuse for this rather... Freudian goal:
--> ''What Mega Man and my brothers don't know / Is this flash is all for show ('cause inside) / there's nothing there, and there's nothing to me / I'm empty and I'm ''hollow!''''
--> ''This flashy suit and this flashy stage / I use only to hide (the fact that)/ I am lonely, and I need somebody / Like Mega Man, by my side!''

* HoYay: Listen to ''Hell Has Frozen Over'' and tell this troper that it doesn't smack of a love declaration between Fireman and Iceman.

** [[TimeStandsStill "My circuits slow..."]] [[hottip:*:Quickman's weakness is the Flash Stopper, which [[TimeStandsStill stops time]].]]

* HistoryRepeats: ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin History Repeating]]''

On July 19th, 2010, they released the ''Sparked A War'' single, which contained the studio release of ''You've Sparked A War/Spark Man'', a instrumental variation, an acoustic remix, and covers of both ''SunglassesAtNight'' by Corey Hart and the ''Series/MegaMan'' cartoon theme song, dubbed ''Super Fighting Robot''.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: ''[[Series/MegaMan Super Fighting Robot]]'' and their cover of ''SunglassesAtNight'' have nothing to do with ''Mega Man 3'' or Spark Man, but they're on the ''Sparked a War'' single anyway.

* DanceBattler: Metal Man's song, appropriately titled Metal Dance.
** Top Man's song, as he considers the fight between Mega Man and himself a "legendary dance fight."

** However, it doesn't appear to be a random choice to give him the FoeYay. He does seem to have a FreudianExcuse for this rather... Feudian goal:

[[http://themegas.com/main/main.html The Megas]] are a Los Angeles-based band well-known for making vocal rock remixes of music from the ''Game/MegaMan'' video game series. Unlike Music/TheProtomen, a similarly dedicated band, they directly remix songs from the games. The resulting songs generally have a closer feeling to the original work, giving each of the Robot Masters their own personalities as they sing about their lives as Mega Man breaches their defenses, and eventually defeats them.

On August 24, 2009, the band, in conjunction with Entertainment System, released a 4-track EP called ''Megatainment'', based on ''Megaman 1''.

Not to be confused with either MegasXLR or Music/TheProtomen, a completely unrelated band who, while similar in their [[Game/MegaMan base inspiration]], have no relation to the Megas and are not in any kind of so-called "rivalry" with them, [[{{FandomRivalry}} no matter what some of the bands' respective fans]] [[{{FanDumb}} would lead you to believe]].

* CombatPragmatist: Megaman, who (supposedly) cheats in his duel with Quick Man by using the Flash Stopper (''My circuits slow''...), presumably to overcome Quick Man's superior speed. This is the only time he seems to use a Robot Master's weakness in the songs.

* GrayAndGrayMorality: Megaman sees himself as a hero. Wiley's robots see him as a menace who is slaughtering their brothers. "Lamentations of a Warmachine" has Megaman tormented by doubts over whether or not what he has done was right.

* HearingVoices: Possible Heatman, given the line "''In my mind, I hear the voices cry/I've made them a promise that Megaman dies!''"

* ICannotSelfTerminate: In ''Programmed To Fight'', Crashman wants to let Megaman win and kill him so Doctor Wily will fall, but, as the title suggests, his programming will not allow it.

* LyricalDissonance: The cheerful ending theme from Megaman 1 is set to Dr. Wily vowing to return and destroy the people's future. And he won't stop.

** Wily's song has shades of this, specifically when he starts begging Dr. Light to call Megaman off.
* MoralMyopia - So, it's okay for Wily to program destructive machines and set them loose to kill and maim, but if Light sends his robot out to stop him, Light is a coward and Megaman is a murderer?

* ShowdownAtHighNoon: Quick Man's battle with Megaman is framed as one of these.

* SpontaneousCrowdFormation: A crowd gathers to watch Megaman and Quickman fight.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: [[PlayingWithFire Fireman]] and [[AnIcePerson Iceman]]. Could also be seen as a [[BattleCouple Battle Couple]], [[YourMileageMayVary depending]] [[HoYay on]] [[ThoseTwoGuys your]] [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation point of view.]]

Its members currently consist of "Reverend" Josh Breeding, Eric "E" Von Doymi, Greg "Gregatron" Schneider (formerly of punk-rock act Agent 51), Mike "Mikey Hell" Levinson, and Brian "The Double D" [=DiDomenico=]. Their debut album, "Get Equipped", which covers nearly every song in the Mega Man 2 soundtrack, was released January 2008. It's available for purchase on [[http://themegas.com/store.html their website.]]

There will be a tombstone with The Planet Earth engraved on it!

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: Anyone who asks for the songs without the lyrics.
