History WMG / MegamanZX

While she is heavily implied to have been murdered by Serpent, that doesn't mean she can't make a return. Becoming a Cyber-Elf upon death is not unprecedented.

[[WMG: MegaManZX 3 will star a new Mega Man...]]

* While this would be really cool, it would be Model W in the Japanese version, and Model V in the US version, since Model W is the Americanized version of Model V (as in the Biometal used by Serpent/Master Albert, not the hypothetical Biometal spoken of here). This troper thinks that the MC and Model V (or W in Japan) will have a relationship similar to that of [[Series/KamenRiderOOO Eiji and Ankh]]; additionally, the Ride Armor will play a role as well (it'll be similar to the role it had in the ''Megaman X'' games), but whenever the MC defeats a boss, instead of gaining an upgrade for said Ride Armor, he'll gain a weapon to use (similar to Vile mode in ''Maverick Hunter X''), and he can combine the various weapons to create different suits of armor (like Eiji does with the core medals). Also, unlike Models Z or X, Model V/W will be made from the actual remains of Vile, recovered from an expedition to the moon, and adapted into a Biometal by someone who either helped Ciel create the Biometals or was working independently. And unlike the last 2 games, Master Thomas will have never heard of Model V or the MC - so he'll basically be caught off guard when the main character confronts him, leading to Thomas making wildly inaccurate guesses as to who the MC and their Biometal is supposed to be; and similarly, Aile and Grey (or Vent and Ashe, depending on what gender the MC is) will be hostile towards the main character at first, before realizing that they are actually a good person and helping them.

* Albert (A) X Lumine (L). AxL

* The creation of the [[MegaManLegends Carbons]] will either be involved or hinted at.

* By that token, Master [[spoiler: Thomas]] went insane with grief after living so long and seeing [[spoiler: Megaman, X, and Zero die]] and decided there was no better option than to start over by resetting the world.

...will be made and star [[MegamanZero Neige]]'s daughter, who will Megamerge with Model C(raft). Just because it would be [[RuleOfCool so cool]].
* Wouldn't she need to be immortal to pull that off? I mean, the ZX series takes place about a thousand years (Or was it a few hundred? I forget.) after the Zero series and Reploids have human-like mortality now and humans only got robotic bodies. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the only beings that were immortal were Prairie (for some reason), the Sage Trinity, and possibly Grey (since he was created by Albert).

* Model X and Model A will start thinking about who Model A's based off, as Model X is reminded of Axl
* Girouette will get rebuilt and come back just like Zero did all those times (basing this off of nothing expect for the fact that it would be another way to compare the two).

* Omega will make a reappearance, though he may or may not be an AntiClimaxBoss

* The Model W pieces will be used by Thomas, but instead of the form's Albert took initially Thomas's will be reminiscent of Weil.
* Eventually, somehow, Wily will manage to construct himself a new body out of the Model W parts, becoming the series TRUE final boss and the mastermind behind pretty much everything. Bonus points if it ends up Mikhail was Willy all along and had manipulated both Albert and Thomas all along, perhaps even remarking to Thomas "Just like old times eh Light?" If Thomas does end up being Dr. Light.

* Ciel is still alive: Vent's storyline reveals a possiblity that she managed to escape Serpent's attack, and while Aile's storyline is usually considered more canonical, I think it's pretty safe to assume that the different details revealed about the past are supposed to complement each other. And it was already established that humans can possibly live for hundreds of years via mechanical implants.

* There will be a new Model Z biomatch, and you will be able to choose between playing as Vent/Aile(with model X, gaining powerups by reclaiming the Biometals and/or unlocking Model X's MegaManning power), Grey/Ashe(with Model A, gaining powerups via A-Trans like in ZXA) and the new Model Z user/s(who will learn new moves by beating bosses, like Zero).

Albert? Wily? Come on, it can't be a coincidence! At some point, Wily became an OmnicidalManiac who is using the biometals(even Model W) to "reset the world", because he hates the fact Dr Light's legacy has managed to integrate with even human bodies, and that no-one remembers him. He's taken a step in MagnificentBastard.

** The problem with Master Albert being Doctor Wily himself is the same as the problem with Dr. Weil being Dr. Wily. How did Wily manage to live throughout the entire Mega Man X series, up until the Zero series (and in this case, beyond that) on his own? If he was Weil he had to survive until he was given the cyborg body by Neo Arcadia, in the which case their punishment- a body that refused to let him die- would be lessened. If he's Master Albert, how did Wily live roughly half a millennium without being discovered on a planet that's had at least one colony dropped on it?

*** Or he was off-planet. Dr Wily has built space stations before; maybe he had one of those space stations store whatever computer [[BrainUploading he uploads his mind in.]] Dr Weil isn't Wily, and his destructive Elf Wars forced Wily to delay any plan of world conquest. When becoming Master Albert, Wily could easily create fake histories for himself, and clone new bodies.

[[WMG: Master Mikhael is evil]]
The other two are. If we wasn't evil to begin with he'll probably ''become'' an evil mastermind out of sheer peer pressure.

At one point during the gme, perhaps at the end of the final boss fight, the player will be helpless, perhaps due to Model W energy, perhaps due to any number of things. then, just as it looks like they're going to be finished off, a familiar, but slightly distorted sounding whistle sounds off as Protoman, damage and looking a bit mix and match in regards to parts, pulls off a Big Damn Heroes. Double points if all he did was expose himself to the boss and the Main Character finishes things off ala MMZ3.

* Master Albert: [[EvilLaugh Mwhahahahaha!]] I am the great MadScientist, Dr Albert Wily! Now, you're probably wondering [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse what the hell happened to me.]] After they designed the Mother Elf, I came to the conclusion that it could make me DeaderThanDead. I wasn't going to take it, so I became programming. And now I'm back, ready to TakeOverTheWorld via Model W. "Model W/Dr Weil was manipulating me?", you say? [[LargeHam FOOLS! HE IS NOTHING COMPARED TO ME!]] I manipulated that retched excuse for a human being [[UnwittingPawn and he doesn't even know it.]] Yes, I called him retched. [[EvenEvilHasStandards I may be power-hungry and prideful]], but I ain't a [[ForTheEvulz sadistic]] [[ItsAllAboutMe ego-maniac!]] Oh, [[PetTheDog and tell Model Z I said hi.]]
* Master Thomas: Everlasting peace. Yes, I once believed that. Oh, I believed that. But then came the Elf Wars. Then came the pain and horror and blood and suffering. The world [[CrapsackWorld turned into Hell.]] Being a LiteralPacifist can no longer work. I needed to [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans desperately heal the world.]] I need to [[WellIntentionedExtremist save the world.]] The only way this can work is if the planet is reset. To be back to what the world was like before Wily and I went at it.
* Master Mikhail: Bah! I've been completely forgetten. But it doesn't matter. I can save the world.

He was, at worst, a well intentioned extremist after he joined the game of destiny. Keep in mind that he would have been directly recruited, then, by the man running the whole game, prometheus, or pandora. My theory is he only started trying to wipe out humans after he came into contact with someone who had a powerful connection to [[SealedEvilInACan Model w.]] Unfortunately for poor Thetis, this implies [[MindRape some things]] were done to him to make him more acepting of the implications of the game of destiny.

Because both of them are hosts for Lumine. It's hinted that Lumine possessed Axl at the end of X8. Also, Albert's final form bears a slight resemblance to him. Albert/Lumine based his biometal on the last fully reploid body he had before switching over to a cyborg host.

[[WMG: Alternatively, Model A is just Axl]]

[[WMG: Model a (lowercase) is original Mega Man's biometal]]

True, Model L, P, H, and F act like they are the real heroes, but they only have the memories of the legendary heroes. Same with Model X and Model Z. They were given all the memories the legendary heroes had, by Ceil. Ceil found it was impossible to bring them back to life, so she just copied them, the same thing she did with X in the Zero series. Only this time, she copied them much better. To prove this, look at Omega and Model O. Model O can be obtained through normal gameplay, as well as the battle with Omega, but you can't use Model O until you beat the game once, probably to prevent it from becoming a game breaker, but I believe it is still canon. You can fight Omega with Model O, so Model O must be a copy of Omega. Also, Model Albert is clearly a copy of Albert. Albert says he downloaded his plan into Model A, and talks about other things he's given Model A, and the fact that it"s called "Model Albert" all point to Model A being Albert. But that's impossible, Albert is standing right there. It's simple, Model Albert is a copy with Albert's memories, and his mind (Thus giving him his plan). Model A was supposed to give Grey Albert's plan and tell him what to do, so it makes sense that he would be a duplicate of Albert. And since Grey was under mind control, Model A would've been the one who would truly replace Albert. Model W is also not Weil, but Weil's robotic body revived, with his memories and basically everything Weil had, making it basically the same thing.

** It's the same as the difference between X and Copy X of the Zero series. Just the biometals are much better copies. Ceil does consider copying a reploid just as good as bringing them back to life. That's why she copied X when she found out she couldn't revive him, and she didn't bother to tell anyone (outside of Zero and maybe the resistance) because she figured a copy is just as good as the original anyways. If it was just a switch of bodies, you shouldn't be able to fight Omega with his own biometal (and Albert, but his Biometal could be an exception since he never died). Also, WordOfGod when talking about the creation of the biometals is actually more vague then the game is. WordOfGod leaves open the possibility that the biometals are in fact copies.

Mega Man X takes place in 21XX, but Command Mission is 22XX. Zero supposedly takes place 100 years after the end of the X series, so that would put it at 23XX. Master Albert has been working on Model W for over 300 years, but we don't know how long it's been between when the Zero series ended and Albert started on the project, so it could've taken a long time for society to rebuild. Thus it's been 700 years since the original Mega Man fought Dr. Wily, and it seems that the works of Thomas Light has been lost to time judging by the loose continuity.
* The events of the previous series are probably not ''entirely'' lost, given that the Three Sages knew enough to name themselves after the founding roboticists. They just know about as much about 20XX as we do the 14th century- less, even, given that most data would have been on short-lived storage media, and most of the rest would have been destroyed in the unending massively violent warfare between 21XX and 23XX.

The official materials say that Zero's body was never found after Ragnarok, but if that's the case then how did Ciel make a biometal for him? Whether it's a copy or the real thing she'd need a base of some kind to get the information from. In X's case, she used a refined and debugged version of the data she had on Copy X, but in Zero's case she got it from the man himself. Zero survived Ragnarok (we only saw his broken ''helmet'', not the rest of his body), and having ended the human/reploid wars for good, he dropped his weapons and ceased to be a war machine, devoting himself to helping Ciel better the world through peaceful means. Of course he was still a reploid and eventually outlived her, but he kept in contact with Alouette and the Guardians and assisted them in a non-combat function until the beginning of ZX, when he used Model Z -- which, ''of course,'' biomatched with him perfectly -- in place of the equipment he'd long since discarded. Unfortunately Zero had gone so long without fighting that he was only at a fraction of his total ability when he first faced Serpent, and got sucker-punched when Serpent pulled out Model W.

* With no knowledge of [[spoiler: Master Thomas's plans]], the heroes were unable to stop him from resetting the world and bringing about the Legends era, a peaceful place with no humans at all.

* Master Thomas is Dr Light (specifically, his consciousness that appeared in X. By the time of ZX, he was moved into robotic body)
* He reset the world by creating a time machine and goes back to 20XX, telling the future to his past selves so that he picked networking instead of robotic major. His action created the Battle Network timeline. The original timeline still existed though. The problem with this theory is Duo, though they could be simply different, unrelated entities.

[[WMG: Master Thomas's succeed in his plans]]
