* If you look at the series from ''Classic'' to ''ZX'' then you'll notice something about the current state of the world -- in ''Classic'', this is more subdued due to the presence of natural forests, with the robotic animals being outright stated that they were once environmental and fauna patrols before Wily reprogrammed them into serving him. However, the ''X'' series is where the state of the world is apparent; everything from fauna to forests are mechanical, with implications that the wildlife are almost rendered extinct and the world's biodiversity being decimated as a result of mechanizing the planet.

While the natural forests made a return in ''Zero 4'', the Fridge [[Fridge/MegaManZX page]] on the ''ZX'' series points out that the damage dealt to Earth meant that it isn't enough to sustain it without aid, and all of the animals seen are ''Reploid-made'' replicas - meaning that even flesh-and-blood domestic animals have gone extinct. This makes Sigma's line about the world being worn out suddenly become a reality.

* Robots like Slash Beast who is missing an eye and Axl who has facial scars really makes you wonder why ''machines'' would be in such a state. Are their parts so unique they're irrepairable? Do the robots intentionally keep themselves that way for whatever reason? Were they ''designed that way to begin with''?
** ''Sigma'' has facial scars that are based on both the time Zero nearly beat him to death and the time X gave him the Shining Finger treatment in the Day of Sigma event. Even when creating new incarnations of himself, he keeps these scar-like markings on his face. Slash Beast, being a Proud Soldier Reploid, would probably keep the scarred appearance of his face out of pride.
** Recurring Reploid Alia receives a complete cosmetic makeover between ''Mega Man X7'' and ''Mega Man X8''. In ''Mega Man Zero'', you meet Old Man Andrew, another Reploid that deliberately had himself aged so that [[MayflyDecemberRomance he could grow old with his human wife]]. The short answer, then, is that if a Reploid loses an eye or receives a scar and decides he kinda likes how it looks on him, there's nothing at all stopping him from wearing an eyepatch or keeping the scar as part of his personal asthetic.
** There's also Scareface from Command Mission, who has this going on even though he was just recently built. This suggests that it's being done on purpose in certain instances, most likely as way to increase their intimidation factor.

At first, it seemed kinda gruesome. But then I realized that Mega Man and Roll are not truly free-willed beings. They are limited in many ways. This is why X was such a breakthrough. Mega Man and Roll can't understand why they wouldn't want to be scrapped because their programming is too limited to let them. Which also explains why Mega Man picked up the IdiotBall at the end.

I was pondering if the number 140 had any special meaning: if they had wanted to make it 2 minutes, it would have been 120 seconds. Maybe they figured out this was the best time range to defeat the last boss. But [[Troper/{{Fubu72}} This Troper]] thought up of an interesting meaning: 140 = 1-4 Zero. Or ''Zero 1-4''; games 1 through 4 in the series have their climax in these last 140 seconds. -- {{Fubu72}}

* Another one for ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce'': After having played through the trilogy, I wondered why it was that while both Budd and Luna had gained EM forms throughout the story thanks to merging with Taurus and Ophiucus, respectively, in the first game, only Taurus revived as a HeelFaceTurn while Luna was left on the sidelines with no powers by the end of ''3''. At first, I thought, "letdown," and that they just decided to shove her to the sidelines for whatever reason. But then, I remembered that for the human-EM fusion to be effective, it was a two-way deal. Both the character and the FM-ian had to "sync" in sorts to get it to work right, hence why the FM-ians deceived their hosts in the first game. As the story goes on, we see that Taurus may not have been all that evil when we first met him, better to match Budd's fierce, yet easy-going demeanor, resulting in his eventual team-up in ''3''. Ophiucus, on the other hand, was wholly unrepetant and manipulative, while Luna was becoming a nicer, more honest and genuine person. Luna's {{character development}} and personality just did not match Ophiucus', which is why Luna never transforms ever again, barring her fight in ''2'' when she was BrainwashedAndCrazy at the time. Basically, Luna would have to betray her entire being to obtain that power again, and she would rather be powerless and support from the sidelines. - Grithalmur

Then there is the out-of-game reason where, because you never use it, it ensures that you always have plenty of ammo for it.

Word is Carbons aren't machines or reploids. The system units are their successors

* If you follow the plot of the main series timeline, things progress thus: [[spoiler:the original series has ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' vs. Dr. Wily, with the latter never being executed for his actions. Eventually, Doctors Light and Wily make their final works, X and Zero, with the Maverick virus created sometime in the interim (it's implied it was Wily's doing, but never confirmed) and getting into Zero. The ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series has the virus absorbed from Zero into Sigma, the latter screwed around when fighting Zero instead of doing a quick kill with his beam saber like he's supposed to, and thus becomes the new BigBad and spreads the new Maverick virus. The virus is defeated with Cyber Elves, but the source of said Elves is taken over by Dr. Weil, causing the Elf Wars that ravage the Earth and kill off billions of humans and reploids. Again, the human villain is not executed (in fact, [[ThePunishment his punishment]] is ''[[AndIMustScream the]] [[WhoWantsToLiveForever exact]] '''[[AndIMustScream opposite]]''''' of an execution), leading us to the ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' series. After that, humanity and reploids merge into a single species seen in the ''VideoGame/MegaManZX'' series. In the ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends'' series, it's revealed that humanity has been entirely replaced by Carbons, robots that perfectly mimic humans. The last human died before the series started. So, because humanity couldn't put down the human villains, or more broadly because neither political nor military leaders do the smart solutions with psychopaths, not only did humanity eventually die, but the original villains were partially vindicated: Dr. Wily ended the robot war and changed the world through Zero, who would never have been built if Wily was killed after the sixth game, and Sigma more or less got his wish of a human-free world, since they all died and were replaced by robots.]]

** From ZX to Legends: In the secret ending of ZXA, Master Thomas stated that the world needs to be reset. In Legends, after the great flood, there were no humans left, save for the master himself; the rest of the world was populated with carbons, a race of robots that basically had the specs of a human. In essence, the entirety of humanity was sacrificed in order for reploids to evolve into the ultimate goal: becoming the same as humans, by basically replacing them.

* I was playing ''Mega Man 3'' the other day, and I remember thinking to myself, "What kind of a stupid name for a dog is Rush? I mean, he's not exactly fast (seriously, Rush Jet goes, like, five miles an hour), and he certainly doesn't hurry Mega Man along, so what the hell?" Just today, it dawned on me. The ''Mega Man'' series is known for its musical ThemeNaming, and then there's that one [[Music/{{Rush}} really awesome progressive rock band from the 70's and 80's...]]

* The Amazons were a group of female fighters in Greek mythology who were inspired by the horse cultures of the Eurasian Steppes, which could easily explain the Greek Centaur Man's GenderFlip in the manga of ''VideoGame/MegaMan6''.

* With Battle Network confirming that Dr. light's focus was software and Dr. Wily's was hardware, a lot of things in the Classic series make more sense. Megaman is really good at fighting other robots because Dr. Light's advanced programming allows him to develop better strategies. Dr. Wily isn't nearly as good at programming, so his robots have simple, predictable patterns. This is also why many of his robots like Bass and King go rouge easily, since their programming isn't as good they have an easy time finding loopholes. And while Wily is able to crank out new robot masters like it's nothing, Dr. Light takes much longer to build new robots and make upgrades for Megaman, sometimes needing assistance from others like Dr. Cossack. This even gets brought up in ''VideoGame/MegaMan11'' where Dr. Light points out that Megaman is so powerful because ''both'' of them built him.
